The seeds of destruction

In Part 2 of Rome's Revolution, before Rome had collapsed due to exhaustion and the strain of reconnection, she had told The Overmind of Deucado the following:

“It is your choice. You have the reports from Skyler Base to corroborate them. You can choose to know this is true. You ask me why the distinction between what and who I am? You only know one way to approach things. The time has come to start asking new questions. You need new answers. Within what you are now lies the seeds of your destruction.”

But what did she mean by the words: within you lies the seeds of your destruction?

The actual explanation is fairly lengthy and occupies a good quarter of Part 2 of the book. After all, Rome has the ability to pontificate. Wait, I know. You're saying I'm the author so it's really my problem. I got news for you, I just transcribe the stuff, the characters provides the dialog.

Anyway, the seeds of the Overmind's destruction can be summarized as three main issues:

1. The Overmind was sprung fully grown from the PPT connections of the Vuduri. It is not a natural entity and has no evolutionary history to hone its path.
2. It considers the mandasurte a threat that needs to be eliminated.
3. It does not want the Vuduri to think for themselves. The Overmind makes decisions unilaterally with no one to present counter-point.

Tomorrow, I'll present Rome's first argument which forces the Overmind to question everything about its own existence.
