What was the stage of evolution where single celled organisms began to form colonies which would eventually become multicellular organisms? Did this process make the individual cells more secure at the expense of freedom, autonomy, intelligence, and strength? Is humanity undergoing a similar transition at a higher level right now? Would it be a bad thing to become a hivemind? If programmed cell death benefits the human body, could programmed human death benefit society? If cells are expected to commit suicide to prevent the spread of cancer, could a similar culture of suicide for the greater good of the species spread within humanity? Is security just the negative form of freedom? The freedom to exploit is negated by the freedom from exploitation, after all. If humans create a technology that renders humanity obsolete, should humans merge with technology or simply allow themselves to be replaced? If humans could invent a technology to stop feeling emotions like anger, lust, sadness, should they use it, even at the expense of meaning? Is optimization of heat distribution the ultimate goal of the universe, and what we call "life" just a temporary step to achieving that goal? Is anything inevitable?

>>824965I would say trolling is actually a mild form of psychological torture rather than torture being a type of trolling. Trolling is the subcategory here.
>>824960>the single-cell organisms were really no more independent nor autonomous than the multicellular organisms, even if they were not bound to each other or other organisms, they remained bound to the inorganic substrate of their environment, i.e. bound to the mineral deposits they colonized and the chemical elements they consumed for energyand this is why free will is a spook
First multicellular colonies was a slow and boring process, so while not completely up to your question I think you should mostly look at the Cambrian explosion event, that's when shit got wild
