The Noosphere-The Thinking Layer of Earth

Are we living in and collectively participating in a planetary nervous system? Are we all creative participants guiding Earth’s destiny? Here we focus on the noosphere, which represents the third major evolutionary layer enveloping Earth, following the geosphere (inanimate matter) and the biosphere (biological life).
