This reminded me of a very fun philosophy of mind essay: If Materialism Is True, the United States Is Probably Conscious: http://www.faculty.ucr.edu/~eschwitz/SchwitzPapers/USAconscious-140721.htm

I read James Lovelock's book Gaia many years ago, I'll have to dig it out and reread it.

I strongly believe that the Biosphere will wipe out this viral 'dominant' problem species.

Didn't Prof Hawking theorise that most technological species will wipe themselves out?

The planet seems to itself be an organism. If the planet is resourceful, it will rid itself of the virus that currently infests it. It seems to be going well for Gaia at this point.

Isn't this an implicit part of the Gaia Hypothesis?

I have often had this same thought about our planet.
