Interesting question. A corporation or an army or a religious sect or some
other hive-mind entity might realistically refer to itself like this.
Thing is, corporations want us to think of them as individuals and to have
similar rights. Somehow this is enshrined in corporate law. I am very
interested in "the group mind". I think this is where humanity's problems
begin. Solipsism is real only in the sense that the many minds are really the
One Mind. But this One Mind exists in an enormous number of versions;
duplications. The differing perspectives of each of the versions contributes to
the overall consciousness, the Big Picture. Someone gets it.
