Since consciousness is that which precedes matter, it would also seem quite clear that the Earth has/is consciousness<<<

what frickin' hippieHat did you pull this rabbit out of? And assuming (since I am not sure of your basis), you are saying this rock was created by a higher being of consciousness, it doesn't automatically mean that said Creator gave this "thing" it's own consciousness, per se. You are like Hoppe and Rothbard pulling poop out of thin air. PROVE your premise. Again, it's not a self-evident proclamation.... such as "Existence Exists"; whereas every time you attempt to disprove it, you are actually reproving it. Inherently set forth simply in the act of discussing it. How could we talk about it if we didn't exist (in some form)?

We gotta get you living around some college campus. We need good recruiters for Agora3s! Discussions like this are a dime a dozen in the coffee shops around each one. LOL It's been fun.

But I gotta get back to work pumping up Adam's boring campaign..................... How can such a magnetic personality have so little excitement surrounding what he could be bringing to America? (and perhaps bleed over to the rest of the planet). Imagine what would happen if we could convince Ken O'Keefe to become his running mate? THAT would DEFINE excitement. Right now, Baloo seems to be grabbing the spotlight more than the campaign itself.
