Since the fungal networks that make-up the Wood Wide Web have only recently become public knowledge I feel I must explain the phenomenon of toxoplasma gondii and felis catus as they operate via a similar mechanism.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1343313049516531712 …

In the science fiction book A Fire Upon the Deep, dog packs known as Tines exist as a single entity despite separate bodies. Think IFS made flesh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Fire_Upon_the_Deep#Plot:~:text=The%20ship%20lands%20on%20a%20distant,live%20in%20packs%20as%20group%20minds ….

The Original Cat, Bastet, was split into multiple pieces and scattered across the world just like Osiris.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris#cite_ref-25:~:text=.%20Typhon%20divided%20the%20body%20into%20twenty%2Dsix%20pieces …

Like the tines, we are all one entity. The loss or distance of specific sub-entities destabilizes the coherent personality of the whole leading to what is basically schizophrenia or insanity.

Just like a fungal network can connect an entire forest to act as an emergent entity, the sub-divided felis catus entities similarly use toxoplasma gondii as a method of coordination across the world.

While primarily known to attracting rats to cat urine, the main function of the symbiotic relationship is to produce riskier behavior. https://microbiologysociety.org/blog/the-fungus-that-makes-zombie-ants-could-use-biological-clocks-to-control-their-minds.html#at-556001bf-1507-41ce-b5de-5288355da87e:~:text=Toxoplasma%20gondii%20is%20a%20protist%20that,rodent%2C%20good%20news%20for%20the%20parasite …).

This illogical and potentially self-annihilating desire to face the unknown that can potentially swallow you is known colloquially as Curiosity.

While fungal networks in the wood wide web can communicate through direct chemical signaling, felis catus is spread far too widely for physical transmission. Toxoplasma gondii thus allows global communication through the centralized egregore hub of Curiosity using memetic means.

In the early 1990's the event that is known to us as "The Happening" occurred as the "Internet" gained wide spread adoption. Memetic information that previously could only be transmitted at relatively slow speeds suddenly gained orders of magnitude more velocity and volume.
