I feel like Dr. Who, I want a wife and a companion. We network as people in small subgroups and in larger hive minds. Obviously the latter doesn't tend to work out well but it's fascinating it happens at all. We network like machines.

There is an idea that consciousness just requires enough of something. The old Russian saying that quantity is a quality all of its own. But if that were true, why would we not be communicating with a mushroom mind?
