Collective intelligence, the collective unconscious and consensual
hallucinations may be speculations and metaphor but collective memory is the
stuff of history. It's at the library. You can check it out.

Collective history figures heavy in the concept, we are what we know, eh? I
thought it was interesting
Insofar as behavioral intuitiveness, cultural identity, social order.
It intrests me because it was and is a troubeling observation for me. The
"herd" mentality both fascinates
and irritates. I have spent a lot of time observing this behaviour. Admittedly,
I'm a people watcher
and I'm hyper sensititve to my surroundings and what everyone else is doing in
relation to me, thus
Shopping is an incedibly annoying experience of the greater percentage of folks
having blinders on
in their own world which revolves around them. Interestingly enough they most
all respond the same way
To encountered obsticals, crowd flow, objects of novelty. Do not get me started
on traffic. People
Walk like they drive. I allways think that if everyone was alittle more mindful
of their surroundings
and situation that flow would increase and be less troublesome.

General concepts
"Howard Bloom traces the evolution of collective intelligence from the days of
our bacterial ancestors 3.5 billion years ago to the present and demonstrates
how a multi-species intelligence has worked since the beginning of life. [2]
Tom Atlee and George Pór, on the other hand, feel that while group theory and
artificial intelligence have something to offer, the field of collective
intelligence should be seen by some as primarily a human enterprise in which
mind-sets, a willingness to share, and an openness to the value of distributed
intelligence for the common good are paramount. Individuals who respect
collective intelligence, say Atlee and Pór, are confident of their own
abilities and recognize that the whole is indeed greater than the sum of any
individual parts.
>From Pór and Atlee's point of view, maximizing collective intelligence
relies on the ability of an organization to accept and develop "The Golden
Suggestion", which is any potentially useful input from any member.
Groupthink often hampers collective intelligence by limiting input to a select
few individuals or filtering potential Golden Suggestions without fully
developing them to implementation."
