Interesting. I was just thinking about this today. I was thinking about how collectives, like families or corporations, have their own beingness, mind and will. We are like cells in these collective entities. I was also thinking about how the stock market is like a decentralized intelligence.
I have not written about this yet in detail but my overarching philosophy applies to the concept of a National Egregore as well. It was actually what first got me thinking along these lines. The nation as a biological organism, or what I've been calling the Bionation.
Within the context of the Bionation I view the economy as an internal signaling mechanism akin to our bodies' system of neurotransmitters. The idea being that markets basically dictate what humans (cells) should be doing. Like a signal that tells a stem cell to become a specific kind of cell. Salaries represent demand within the Bionation for a given job and people self sort into where they are suitable. More broadly, markets signal where capital should be invested to meet demand, and generally act as an important component to the Bionation's nervous system.
With that said, unfortunately under our current monetary policy the USA could be understood to "be a drug addict." Our money printing is like the Bionational equivalent of taking some kind of stimulant that overloads the brain with dopamine. We basically drive deeper and deeper into this addiction to delay the hangover, making the hangover that much worse when it inevitably comes. It's going to be brutal.
