I don’t quite get this. Can the whole not be creative?
Hive mentality is the opposite of creativity.

I guess another way to phrase that is “is the concept of creating fire” creative.
Because sure you can have many ways to create it but if everyone is doing it then is it creative? Because if everyone is creative then is anyone creative?

That’s not true. Groups of people can work towards specific goals and still work creatively within that. Take movies and TV, animation, architecture, music etc. All of these may have hundreds or thousands of people working together and individually behind the scenes. Would you say that therefore they’re not creative or relied on creativity to work?

There are pros and cons. Check out webmd’s page.

Dissent is not creativity.

Well, not per se. Dissent can be creative though.

Even ants go rouge for the hive. Anyone who has done swarm logic will say a little bit of divergent behavior will save the swarm. If they don’t they will never find all the food and starve because it gets stuck. stagnation kills, be different.

I would have agreed once; but I know about the SCP Wiki. Literally a creative hive mind.
