$\begingroup$ Yeah, I don't think psychology or neuroscience are really the right fields for this. There are two things people talk about: a more metaphorical version in the realm of sociology or philosophy in which emergent phenomena exist in society. There, global consciousness doesn't really have anything but a metaphorical link to brain consciousness. Then the other side is the religious or metaphysical side that's all woo and doesn't have any scientific support and isn't based on scientific thinking at all. $\endgroup$– Bryan Krause ♦Commented Jun 25, 2022 at 16:50

$\begingroup$ I think this is a duplicate of How can machine possibly possess consciousness if computation is a human idea? - see specifically the Chinese Nation thought experiment. $\endgroup$– Arnon Weinberg ♦Commented Jun 25, 2022 at 17:42

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. cognitive-psychology), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
