You know what’s great about a show like Pluribus?
It’s that we don’t really know what’s going on, so we get to speculate.
We don’t know for sure how the hive mind works, but it seems that the plurbs (the infected people) commune with each other unconsciously through radio waves.
Now, radio waves are electromagnetic (EM) waves.
For a plurb, let’s say 10 percent of it goes into radio transmission, so that’s 8 watts.
