"I made the point that people's minds are linked, forming a larger mind, =

because the signals we send each other through our communication are =
basically a way that clusters of neurons influence each other between =
brains. I believe that this process is not qualitatively different than =
clusters of neurons influencing each other within a single brain."

However, you fail to mention that minds link together based on sharing =
certain memes or ideas to form separate, competing social organisms or =
collectives. Obvious ones are "Catholics", "Moslems", etc. Of course, =
there are many such organism, many much more subtle, and they are =
overlapping, that is, share to various degress the same cells =
(individuals).

"Conspiracy theory is heurism for social-power organism theory."
