That's NOT like a Borg hive mind, nor like a New World Order authoritarian and hierarchical power-over structure. Instead it must be more like a decentralized structure that fully supports individual freedom while at the same time offers immense collective mental capacities.
The idea that we are somehow lacking and require something outside ourselves to be 'complete' is how religions lure people in. It's how governments work. To me, what you are describing sounds just like a Borg hive mind and just like a New World Order authoritarian/hierarchical power structure. Throw in some 'sovereignty' terminology and spin it a bit to get us interested... It's just another 'repackaged' religion -- a new world religion for the New World Order.
For example: Agenda 21. That's not going so well -- people are catching on. It was recently repackaged as 'Project Everyone'. I guess they figure no one will notice.

Hi Pris...what I see you doing is repackaging the ideas from the other extreme of the 'hive <----> individual' scale, which to me is just as dangerous.
Is your "warning light" goign off every time you see an idea you strongly disagree with? How exactly dfoes revealing that you suspect attempted assimilation serve you, or those you see yourself protecting?
I personally see danger in the projecting the fear of anything "external" with the same pitfalls of the extreme you are projecting onto anders (possibly correctly, however I didn't interpret as "absolute" or convincing or whatever as you make them out to be).
The "go within" meme, while an ultimate truth (to me), is taken to the extreme, where we tend to lose sight that we are communal, completely dependent on others. A baby cannot survive on its own for an extremely longer time than any other mammal (which are extremely communal/interdependent).
The fear of being dependent can be just as self-defeating as the fear of losing your independence...which if you actually had it, no one else's thoughts or written words would be seen as a threat, I'd think?
I find balance, a middle road, to be more productive to seek out, and rather to hanging on to ideas we KNOW/GNOW to be true, it is much more educational to listen (open mindedly, putting aside as much pre-judging as possible) to views that "set off red flags", rather than jump on the messenger. Especially when you're choosing to engage whoever you think is a conniving troll.
I've watched this phenomonon, along for the ride with you this summer...and you've learned the best tactic is to act on your assumption you know the posters' intent and attack it immediately? For what? To protect the members of Earth Empaths from being convinced to embrace a technological singularity or empower an AI/machine controlled matrix? C'mon...
