@Andercot On the topic of Ant colonies & Consciousness, you may be interested in https://t.co/odlazbyU12 "The ant colony as a test for scientific theories of consciousness" (2019).
@DrYohanJohn @PessoaBrain @gualtieropicc @MillerLabMIT @seanmcarroll You would probably like this paper by Daniel A. Friedman & Eirik Søvik @InferenceActive. I was impressed by their idea of the ant colony as a test of theories of consciousness. Creat
@seraphinagt A lot of theories of consciousness would allow not only human societies but also Ant or Honey Bee colonies to be collectively conscious. There was a proposed Ant Colony Test for whether a theory allowed social insects to be conscious - https:/
@Plinz "there is nothing "what it's like to be a group"" What makes you (or any non-group) not a group? Because unless it is a monad, non-groups are composed of Things. Also see, various consciousness frameworks applied to Ant colony multiscale case: ht

Is an ant colony conscious? Friedman+Søvik https://t.co/RLh3goP4To examine what various theories of consciousness predict. Concludes e.g. Integrated Information Theory (IIT, consciousness=max state of phi info) says the colony is indeed conscious. Is IIT
@RichardDawkins We wrote a paper about this in 2019: "The ant colony as a test for scientific theories of consciousness" https://t.co/odlazbPX32 Short answer: It depends a lot on what you mean by "conscious", and how you measure it 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

This idea of collections being conscious is not as crazy as it sounds. Ant colonies show a lot of similar properties that human bodies show, and hence have been proposed to be conscious: https://t.co/j1Fd7Vv0pF
