    <p>Ah, but HIS is a SuperDuperEgo... just ask him, he'll tell ya!</p>
    <p>I don't know what your stake (or dog in the fight or ... pick a
      metaphor) is regarding collective
      consciousness/awareness/intelligence/wisdom/action in the abstract
      but it seems your background would support having an opinion or
      more to the point a thought-through-thought or two on the topic.</p>
    <p>If there are suitable parallels between individual consciousness
      and collective versions of it, what would be the superego of a
      culture, people, nation-state, etc.?</p>
