    I don't feel any non-life creates internal order, they are just drifting towards disorder.
I disagree. As once explained by a friend, take a jar of dimes and quarters, and shake them, they sort in an orderly fashion. You could even call the formation of solar systems order from disorder. I don't think the hypothesis is critical to your thesis, however.

    but IMO what Global Brain will be is an environment where we are immersed in intelligence.
I wonder if this is a requisite. Just as an ant has no clue about the goals of the colony, or a neuron about problem solving, perhaps we won't (or needn't) be enlightened by (or participants in) the GB.
