By 2045, will advancements in technology enable individuals to collectively experience a form of consciousness that transcends individual minds?
- Shared cognitive technology refers to advancements in tools or systems that allow individuals to interact and collaborate in ways that augment their cognitive abilities, potentially leading to a shared understanding or awareness beyond individual minds, leading to shared insights, emotions, or experiences.
- To qualify as collective consciouness, the augmentation should allow shared cognitive capabilities beyond simply shared sensing experience.
- Instead, it should involve the actual merging of the consciousness of multiple individuals, bluring the lines between individuals minds and allowing experience of a shared feeling and cognition.
- This merging should lead to every participant experiencing a state akin to a singular cognitive entity.
- The conscious experience would in this case imply the casual experiencing of emotions, state of mind, cognition, reliable knowledge retrival, regular experience of self.
