Here's more metaphysical pseudotheoretical ramblings: assuming you believe that: A) you yourself have a nonphysical consciousness (NC), B) having a NC is good, C) its uncertain whether other people have NCs (because you aren't directly experiencing from their perspective, I suppose, so you can't be sure). Then: there is a weak moral imperative to form a groupmind with as many people as possible. You could even take this further: there is a weak moral imperative to incorporate as many physical processes into your psyche (via sensors, memory synchronization, recording, etc) as possible, with the goal of incorporating *the entire universe* into your conscious experience so that everything has NC

Note: any philosophical zombies (neurologically-conscious but not nonphysically conscious entities) might believe they have NC. There are no ways (as far as anyone knows) to identify whether something has a NC, or even if NCs exist in the first place (the existence of NCs is a huge and completely unjustified assumption because of this)
