Title: Re: Has anyone read this? Thoughts? Yes I have one

Actually, and sorry to burst your bubble, but collective cognition as measured by a Princeton study during the 9/11 disaster, clearly exists. What, how, etc, has been studied in a rigorous, international scientific effort at least since 1998, though empirical evidence supporting such a theory, or set of theories has been available since human consciousness arose. Having the means and methodology to identify and study the phemonoma is recent.

You can find the studies that were developed and published from data intake on 9/11 by looking though

http://noosphere.princeton.edu/index.html

By documenting and studying this and the rest of the evidence that has been collected in the last five years, I don't think it requires a great leap to postulate that archeological evidence will be found once a clear set of criteria for research into this area is established.

That said, I'm not especially heartened by the apparent necessity for accepting this finding. I prefer my own mental landscape as an isolate, not a component, since it implies a wider scope of personal responsibility than I find comfortable. However, the possibilities are equally daunting, since the future is under construction by us now. Also it validates Pogo once again,

"We have found the enemy and it is us."

Ciao,
