Volume Fifty-Seven: Consciousness Networks and Collective Intelligence Chapters 311-315
Chapter 311: Global Brain Project
I initiated the 'Gaia Mind' project, connecting volunteers' consciousness temporarily through a safe, non-invasive interface to address massive complex issues such as climate change models and particle physics. The first experiment achieved breakthrough progress, showcasing the astonishing potential of collective intelligence.
Chapter 312: The Loss of Consciousness
Some participants reported strong feelings of 'separation anxiety' and 'individual insignificance' after the connection was severed. They became addicted to the omniscient and omnipotent experience of merging with the 'Global Brain,' losing interest in real life. A new form of 'consciousness addiction' emerged.
