Dr. Bonabeau speaks of modeling technological systems (not humans) after natural swarm phenomena, so our place in the universe hardly seems threatened by his ideas. At any rate, I'm not sure exactly what human "psyche" means, but I think that the concept of swarm intelligence could be fruitfully applied to our understanding of the human brain, organically a swarming mass of neuronal circuitry and electrical sparks. In other words, swarm intelligence might help us better understand how "mind" emerges from the disparate matter of the brain.
