So what about that Ouija Board? Common belief is that it’s an occult thing. Two people placing their hands on a ‘hockey puck’ like device on top of a cardboard place mat with a bunch of numbers and letters. They ask a question and the hockey puck suddenly moves around the board to spell out the answer with both participants adamantly claiming not to be moving it. Occult? What if its something else? The subconscious minds of the players coming together to form a third distinct subconscious mind. A Spock mind meld so to speak, but as a third and distinct consciousness. Extrapolate that to the Internet. So, what if the Internet could become a third consciousness as a result of all its participants?
Could the Internet be a collective interactive mind of the masses? Is Facebook but one portal through the key board - like placing your hands on the Ouija hockey puck? What will happen when the collective mind becomes sentient?
I think this is a real possibility. A scary one.
