### Oh, yes, there is a huge difference between having all copies in your
timeline join a non-self groupmind (perhaps under economic or other
pressure), and having a few of your copies explore the groupmind out of
curiosity, perhaps sending experiences out to their former selves. I think
we have the same attitude towards either option.
