Global Mind
Something I've come across in my studies of the mysteries of the universe is the idea of a composite being. It's a being that's actually composed of many other people. It's probably tough to conceptualize if you limit beings to having bodies, just imagine consciousness. Shared memory is really more of what I'm thinking though. Imagine a group of people that had enough access to each others' thoughts and feelings that each could speak as any of the others. They'd still be individuals with their own thoughts and feelings, but just sharing with others.
I think the Internet is enabling a rudimentary form of this. When you read someone's blog a lot of times they post about the minutiae of their day. Things not quite important enough for a newspaper headline but still important enough for the person to at least write about. It's fun. You can talk to friends in person and get the same thing but the Internet just really expands the number of people you can do this with. That's one reason I really like posting to my blog: I feel like I'm contributing to the birth of a new global mind of sorts.
In other news, I need to post more fluff on here me thinks, tis a bit too serious at times, eh.
