collective consciousness

(idea) by interiot Sun Feb 13 2000 at 14:51:19
The ability for a group of beings to think as one. The ultimate form of brain synergy.

Examples include The Borg (exemplifying the bad aspects of collective consciousness) and Gaia from Foundation's Edge by Isaac Asimov (showing some rather good aspects of collective consciousness).
