I think what you're looking for is **Emergence**. Emergence seems to be a fundamental part of our universe, and it basically means that **dumb things can become smarter together.** An individual transistor is very limited, it can only block or let an electric signal through, however, you can build logic gates out of them, and from those, a computer. The same is true to ants, their hive is way "smarter" than it's constituting parts. Take the hive, and replace ants with humans. and the hive becomes our civilization. We are different types of idiots, who together, can complement each other's weaknesses, most of us anyway. If you were to connect together humans, I believe **it would remove their individual flaws and insecurities** , and create **a being that is one level higher in the order of life than humans.** Though it can also be that I watched too much of _Neon Genesis Evangelion_. * * * More info on emergence: [https://youtu.be/16W7c0mb-rE](https://youtu.be/16W7c0mb-rE)
