This person seems to be suffering a slight case of paranoia, or might have seen one too many episodes of Star Trek...Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, maybe? It is an interesting read, though, and I have thought of how we are as a "Collective Consciousness". We see certain things on the TV, hear topics on the radio, and follow the order of our society. What you get is a "Machine" with different levels of strata, functions, and a generally shared mentality of what's acceptable in order to benefit our society. The only driving force to our society right now is money, which begets material possession and status.
We might have minor control over the way our lives are run, but the moment it differentiates from the collective mentality (the norm), you're seen as an outsider, troublemaker, an overall unproductive member of our "society". Freedom of speech? Look at what happened to the Dixie Chicks when they spoke their opinion of President Bush and our occupation of Iraq...nearly shunned from American acceptance.
I've thought of how our civilization might benefit from a "controlled populace" free of religion, conflict, hate, money, material possession, or any distructive tendencies that we all posses. We all work towards a goal that will heavily benefit us as a civilization, and we will progress the human race far rapidly technologically, prosperously, and efficiently. If there really are aliens in space, which I believe there are, with hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of years of advancements over ours, who's to say that they don't operate in the same fashion as the Borg in their collective/overmind relationship, without the assimilation of other species factor. This system of civil structure might actually be far more productive, superior, and beneficial to us because it lacks conflict of our selfish, destructive selves, which are some flaws to our individuality in accordance to our civilization.
Once again, this is just thought and I don't want any of you to think that I've gone psycho or anything. =P
