Sounds like the concept of God in today's world.
But suppose this entity were all-knowing, in the sense that its superior
intelligence enabled it to accurately predict future events, which I
would guess would be needed at some level for Collective Volition to
work. Even if it never took any action of its own, just imagine how our
society would be changed if it would answer everybody's questions about
the consequences of their proposed actions.
