From Maya:
The term consciousness is used to describe meta-cognition, the ability to discriminate stimuli, report information, or monitor internal states. Consciousness is also used to describe what it's like to be a thing, the perceptual experience, bodily sensations, mental imagery, emotional experience, observable thought, and more. Most people are in agreement that consciousness exists though there's disagreement about what is or what can be conscious – Humans? Communities? Animals? Plants? Rocks? Computers? Can we expand our individual consciousness and, in turn, elevate collective consciousness? Do leaders affect the collective consciousness, or are leaders the result of our collective consciousness?

"Consider this: By the age of 30, just about every cell that a person was born with has been replaced with a different cell... We still feel like the same person, however." - Hugh Howey, Sci-Fi Writer & AI Theorist
Philip Ball examines the link between consciousness and quantum physics - two poorly understood topics - in hopes that one can explain the other. The concept of quantum consciousness is still far-fetched, but it continues to be explored. Does it follow that communities exist because we will them to be so?
