Re: A Globe, Clothing Itself with a Brain
He's not the first (or the last) fruitcake to believe that a global consciousness is the end product of evolution. Some invoke quantum mechanics, others invoke telepathy, others talk in metaphorical terms about the internet.
The internet is no more a global consciousness than books, televisions, and phones.
BTW, it's easy to shoehorn the words of writers past and shoehorn it to fit current technologies. But such an interpretation is not supported by an intellectually honest reading of their works.
