Perhaps a singular consciousness could evolve that wouldn't have the inherent game theoretical problems that groups of conscious individuals have.

A colony species would also be free from these problems, they look remarkably like a singular consciousness from the outside.

At the moment we're a tribal species that builds colonies, we just haven't evolved to fit into them yet.
