Two thoughts on this:
1. We have an embedded, almost instinctual desire to "figure everything out". I don't know where this insatiable desire comes from, but it seems to be very powerful in humans - the "thirst for knowledge".
Just as we'd expect to find exponentially increased processing power by clustering computers together, I think that the natural tendency of people sharing thoughts leads to a "whole that is greater than the sum of its parts" or "The One".
2. It is our deep desire to again be "one" that makes us feel the need to share thoughts...
Each of us struggle with the feelings of disunity - that is that we are NOT one - "I am alone, so I must figure everything out for myself" or "My ideas have to be right, because they're all I have to describe MY reality". This provides the INDIVIDUAL motivation to seek answers independantly. Given that each INDIVIDUAL then also has the desire to be a part of something larger than themselves (The One) makes a perfect "being". Does that make sense? Its just more efficient if all the "parts" have a motivation to "know everything", then that will contribute immessurably to the knowledge of the "One".
It wouldn't work though if we didn't share ideas.
