That is, say a group of people are given a crossword puzzle to do.
They get a certain number of the answers correct.
Then, the next day, millions of people see the answer to the puzzle in the paper, but not our test group. The test group does not communicate with anyone who has seen the answers.
Some believe the test group will then be able to attain higher number of correct answers on the crossword puzzle.
collective consciousness. Do you believe?
No not really because consciousness is such a personal thing unique to each of us.
I do think there is a social conscience that exists. However this isn't always based on agreement but more on religious norms and bullying.
I don't think one real "answer" can be acheived because everyone will have their own spin on it. There own "if, and/or but's" if you will.
