Holy balls is right. There is actually an institute that focuses on studying the Global Brain; aptly titled: The Global Brain Institute. I'll be giving a talk there in October (Oct 4) and will be starting my Ph.D there sometime in 2014. I'll be sure to write a lot more about the Global Brain in the future.
Hey woah, congrats. I missed this news if you shared it elsewhere. Thanks for the badge. I've been completely overwhelmed thinking about this idea more over the last couple of days -- it's uncharted territory.

At the same time, watching old home videos of myself, of which I have but a few, is very odd and unique.I'll be giving a talk there in October (Oct 4) and will be starting my Ph.D there sometime in 2014.
