Does it make sense to speak of "Universal Consciousness" or "Universal Intelligence"?

I'm moving on. As usual only bennyboy has any real understanding of the issues involved.

"His comments match my presumptions; so the rest of you don't understand anything, and we're both smarter than anyone else."

This is called The Illusion of Asymmetric Insight.

The illusion of asymmetric insight is a cognitive bias whereby people perceive their knowledge of others to surpass other people's knowledge of themselves.

See also The Dunning-Kreuger effect:

Unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude.[1]
Those persons to whom a skill or set of skills come easily may find themselves with weak self-confidence, as they may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. See Impostor syndrome.

See also, Confirmation bias:

Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias or myside bias) is the tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses.[Note 1][1] People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs. People also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position.

Your inability to examine positions differing from your own does not demonstrate those positions are flawed, or based on a misunderstanding of your position.
