The "noosphere" is defined as "the sphere of human thought". It is supposed to be the next step in complexity beyond the biosphere, which is in turn the next step beyond the geosphere/lithosphere.
To me this is like defining the mind as "the collective activity of the cells in the brain". It entirely misses the point. The noosphere is the sphere of human *interactions*, including those interactions that take place through recordings and transmissions.
Shouldn't the "sphere of human thought" be referred to as "the stupidsphere?" :)
@hhardy01 Stupid compared to what, though? It's kind of all we have at the moment.
Human stupidity isn't a comparative, it is an absolute. :)
I agree with you about the noosphere just being scurrilous. :)
the issue is that while #neurons cooperate as a whole, humanity does not have self consciousness, yet.
To emerge, the #noosphere needs that we start to cooperate as parts of a whole: the #humanity.
