[star trek] Could the Borg assimilate enough individuals to make the collective consensus be in favor of non forceful assimilation?
gpt
Reporting back from 2381. The answer there is no, and... yes, they already have.

The Borg Collective has a Queen, it was discovered at the end of the Borg Invasion in 2381, that the Borg Collective was powered and driven by the psychic presence of an extraplanar entity. When that entity was expelled, the Collective remained, but the impetus toward assimilation stopped being their driving force. They were adopted by the extraplanar civilization that the entity came from and left 'for parts unknown'.

Until that entity driving the Borg Collective was expelled, they would all be subject to his superior will. Once removed, they regained their individuality and asserted no inclination toward continuing in that vein.
