2. The claim, in full
At the extreme a sacred value outranks the group itself, and in that person it has left the hive.
Cited on: /the-hive-mind, HOW A HIVE DEFENDS ITSELF › Values beyond price. Entered 2026-10-12 with the /the-hive-mind rewrite; tag NEW-W2a-8.
3. What it rests on
-
At the extreme, a sacred value can outrank the group itself. In one line of studies, the most devoted respondents were "ready to forsake their fused group" rather than give up the value [SRC-781]. A value held even against the group is no longer held because the group holds it. In that person it has left the hive, though it may have been learned there.
