"Are you speaking of cosmic consciousness?" Isn't that like The Great Spirit? Quantum Physics of God: How Consciousness Became the Universe and Created Itself cosmology.com

No, not cosmic consciousness, although I am not against that idea ;)>. My thesis is much simplieer. I believe biological life is constantly popping up all over the universe on millions, billions of planets. And then the life starts to evolve, intellectually. And bees would be one kind of intelligence. And some life finally makes it to where we are now i.e. able to build technology to extend our "senses", like telescopes extend our eyes and computers extend our mind. Now I think there is a dangerous time all life goes through as the random intelligent biology is supplemented, and supplanted, by technology, and then face the singularity where machines become smarter and weapons are created that can destroy the life.. Some make it through this dangerous portal and some don't. But those biological systems that do make it through successfully can then go on to evolve into god only knows what, and gods, by our standards today-lol? And maybe then tie into an existing cosmic consciousness? But all we have to do is look at how much we have evolved in the last 100 years to imagine where that evolution will go after say millions of years!, when we fully understand the physics of our universe. <, And is why I think intelligence and consciousness is pervasive in the universe. Are you speaking of cosmic consciousness? Individual bees in hives could be viewed as a singular interdependent "social organism" with one consciousness. Its way above my tiny-minded pay grade to understand; but I ponder it sometimes. We are all one in a hierarchy of systems.
