6 billion chimps brains dont really get into "sync" so easily because of huge variation in types of intelligence, learning rates, personality types, needs, resource availability etc.
That doesnt mean its not possible.
We already see enough evidence how fast it is to get a whole bunch of chimps to believe bullshit, and perform the same behavior repeatedly without too much questioning and thought. In that sense we already look like an ant colony. Social media, wall st, video games have shown us you can scale it up to the hundred million mark (talking about the number of people given the same info perform the same behavior). In the past religions and empire took centuries to do the same. So its just a matter of time to push it to the billions but its going to be in fits and starts due to difference in people stated above.
Also Nature show us its possible to keep the 20 billion neurons with 1 trillion connection in our head in sync long enough to inject beauty into the universe. So anything is possible.
They just started a new session of that course, but you're probably not too late to start it. And they have a lot of other courses (a lot of which are free) along the same theme. If anything, you'll come out with even more questions, but they'll be really complex questions.
I do believe we do have a bunch tribal behaviour up our sleeves, but it pales in comparison to what other superoganisms have developed over millions of years of evolution.
