I wouldn't subscribe to anything but what I have already stated here. But I am thoroughly interested in that hypothesis and also the work of Teilhard de Chardin, whose conception of an "Omega Point" of an intelligent universe has always made sense to me.
What I would really like to see is continuing experimentation in such things as plant consciousness, intelligence throughout the animal kingdom, the physiology and psychopharmacology of thought, the cybernetic approach to the universe as information and information processing, and the relationship between consciousness and the material universe.
As it is, I do see much progress being made in these areas - enough to justify a philosophical groundwork being laid for what may eventually rise to the level of an accepted scientific theory. And I see that occurring in the not too distant future.
It isn't here now, and I understand the reasons why it may be inadmissible as "hard science." I would, however, go so far as to predict that the relationship between consciousness/intelligence and the material universe will reach a high level of integration in the science of the future. Hence this, for now, speculative thread.
