What do you know - it is not a scientific article, and still talks about time as a dimension anyway.
This really is the most pointless objection I've seen anyone make in any discussion for quite some time. You keep citing sources that say exactly what you pretend they don't, then demand that others find for you what you have just read for yourself. All so that you can try to claim that time would not exist without things happening within it, which would remain nonsensical and unsupported even if time were not a dimension, and from there try to make an unjustified leap to pretending that you have evidence for causality holding outside of time.
Literally every step of your argument makes no sense whatsoever.

Other than that, I think its reasonable to assume that we all have a pretty similar sub-conscious, but we have different abilities when it comes to tapping into it.
So this is why its easy for me to imagine a collective consciousness and why humans can draw from each other to learn more. I believe that all creative outputs by our brains are bi-products of our sub-conscious. Once it comes to the fore, we are able to build on that and dig deeper into our sub-conscious.
Humans evolving so that each member of the species has a subconscious is not equivalent to the species having a "collective consciousness". The idea is incoherent and nonsensical.
