Consciousness and Collective Awareness:
Global Consciousness Project (GCP): This project, mentioned in the context of the noosphere, attempts to measure collective consciousness through random number generators (RNGs) to detect deviations during global events (e.g., 9/11, major elections). While controversial and not widely accepted, GCP data like variance in RNG outputs during significant events is one experimental approach.
Sentiment Analysis: Analyzing global sentiment via social media posts (e.g., X post trends) or surveys like the World Values Survey can provide insights into shifts in collective attitudes, values, or awareness.
