The Borg may not value redundancy, but I do.

That was something seven of nine said to Harry Kim when they were out scanning nebulas for some reason I don’t remember. Probably a good one. But she said that the Borg value efficiency, not redundancy.

It’s the context of the thing too: it’s redundant to scan a nebula a fifth time, sure, so maybe don’t do that, but it’s also redundant to have two eyes, ears and noses.

Speaking of which, isn’t it strange that we have only one heart, albeit in my case a big one?

In a metaphorical sense I’ve given several of my hearts to my family and friends, but the big one I keep for myself, because I need it to live and I’m not sure whether I’ve got one several lives.

This all I thought of when I read my previous post (a good one).
