Recursive mind meld

[m.lp.ql.m]

If a Vulcan did a mind meld on themselves, would they get stuck in an infinite loop?

 

[Kor]

From what we've seen, it requires two separate minds to join together. My guess is that it simply wouldn't work.

"Groan!" he cried, fingers on his face. "Must ... press ... CONTROL ... ALT ... DELETE! Arrrggghhh!"

Isn't that technically what a vulcan does simply by thinking about something?

 

[JirinPanthosa]

It'd be like the scene in Being John Malkovich when Malkovich goes into the tunnel.

 

[Isolinear]

What if a Vulcan did a mind meld on another Vulcan who was already doing a mind meld on another Vulcan who was already doing a mind meld on another Vulcan who was already doing a mind meld on another Vulcan who was already doing a mind meld on another Vulcan who was already doing a mind meld on another Vulcan who was already doing a mind meld on another Vulcan who was already doing a mind meld on another Vulcan who was already doing a mind meld on another Vulcan who was already doing a mind meld on another Vulcan who was already doing a mind meld on another Vulcan?

Would he go insane or would it become a Vulcan Borg collective?

 

[JesterFace]

How about a mind meld with a Borg drone? Would the Borg become more individual and the Vulcan doing the meld partially assimilated?

That might be a good way to find out what weaknesses the Borg has.

 

[Kor]

Would a self mind meld be anything like Rom's solo oo-mox in the DS9 episode Bar Association?

[Captain Rob]

Rom wasn't melding with his....mind.

 

[Shat Happens]

They do it every time they lose the car keys or forget the pin password. But they don't like it because it looks like they are doing a facepalm and other Vulcans find it very amusing.

"Self-abuse is the sincerest kind."

This idea has merit. Intriguing.

 

[Kor]

Rom wasn't melding with his....mind.

I'm sure the term "mind meld" is really euphemistic for something else. The Vulcans just don't want anyone else to know.

"Spock Jr, what are you doing in that bathroom? You'd better not be mind-melding with yourself. You know it makes your brain explode..."

 

[E-DUB]

He'd go blind.
