The Hidden World of Plants: Survival & Evolution | SLICE SCIENCE | FULL DOC

[@janepage3608]

And all this excellent research and science shows that plants would get along beautifully if only we left them alone.

[@jimbear-b6k]

Just finished reading "Entangled life", by Merlin Sheldrake, he focuses on fungus and the ways in which everything is connected through vast distances, messages carried to warn of droughts or insects infestations, always things happening in the plant world. Great vid, thank you.

"Plants have a 'brain' that works like a computer, I don't consider them genius". If people had brains that worked like computers we would consider them geniuses. Its okay, I only eat food from plant sources, I'm willing to accept that plants are intelligent, sentient life, that derserves rights. Don't be so defensive dude.

Yes, at the moment a computer isn’t capable of coming up with a defence system to prevent something attacking it. As far as I know….

[@zoponex3224]

The definition of intelligence is " the ability to acquire and apply knowledge, skills, and problem-solving capabilities", so, clearly plants are intelligent. In fact, it seems to me that all life forms are intelligent, or they would be extinct. Really, the difference between humans and any other life form seems only to be in application. The more I learn about plants, the worse I feel about the ones I've put in solitary confinement in planters throughout my house...

[@Fido-vm9zi]

Great, another thing to feel bad about. Do you think putting another plant nearby will help?

[@samstarlight160]

Application and extent. All living things display some amount of intelligence, but some are more intelligent than others. Slime mold shows signs of intelligence, but you could never argue that a slime mold is of equal intelligence to a dog, or chimp, or human.

[@zoponex3224]

@@samstarlight160 To me, you can't compare two utterly different things like that. It doesn't mean anything. Humans are much less intelligent than we think, yet we seek to pass judgenment on the "intelligence" of others. As if we know. We don't. A slime mold is absolutely more intelligent than a dog, a chimp, or a human, at living the life of a slime mold. Humans are excellent at conquering, exploiting, destroying, and building silly things that do nothing to make the average life better, and which likely cost the lives of many to create. That is an "intelligence" the whole universe will no doubt be much better off without when we finally go extinct.

[@samstarlight160]

​@@zoponex3224Your biases are blinding you to reality. Just because you don't like humanity (who has done plenty of good in addition to bad, not just evil and awfulness) doesn't mean you can deny the fact that we are the most intelligent species on this planet. A slime mold isn't good at being a slime mold because it's more intelligent in some way than us. It's better because its physiology and instincts have evolved to help it survive in its specific niches. Any living thing will consume and spread until it is forcibly stopped or runs out of resources and dies out. We as humans are at least capable of recognizing that problem and trying to fight our instincts for growth and greed. Intelligence involves thinking logically, learning, solving problems in novel ways, etc. Some creatures are barely capable of those things, others are good at it, a few excel at it. At the far end of that spectrum is humanity. We are not the only intelligent creatures on this planet. That much is painfully obvious and those who think we are specially above all other living things have been proven wrong time and time again. But simply looking at the spectrum and where all known life sits? We are the most intelligent. We think and learn and build and understand things that nothing else we've come across can. This doesn't make us better, no more than another animal being stronger than us or faster than us makes them superior to us. Everything is on a spectrum, and when it comes to intelligence we just happen to sit on the far end just a little bit ahead of other animals octopods, dolphins and chimpanzees

If we can't recognize the intelligence in the complex actions and reactions of plants to their environment, predators, and diseases, I despair that we are ever going to recognize extraterrestrial intelligent life.

The Horned Caterpillar, besides loving Tobacco plants, also loves Tomato plants. I grew Tomatoes in California, and routinely destroyed these Caterpillars, but now in Oregon, where it is much colder in the winter than California, I never see the Horned Caterpillar on my Tomato plants. These Caterpillars are harder to see against the back drop of green leaves, but easy to kill with scissors--- slice and dice off with their heads, and they drop off to the ground. I notice a clicking sound barely audible coming from these Caterpillars when you disturb them. This is a really good documentary on plants.

[@katiekane5247]

Never occurred to you that those caterpillars might turn into an important insect? Grow a sacrificial plant for the insects!

Rgenerative agriulture needs more government subsidies in order to help farmers make the transition to sustainable methods. The nutrient content of comercially grown mono-culture produce is dropping so even when we "eat our fuits and veg," we're getting less nutrition than our grandparents did. Permaculture solutions add another piece: controlling water cycles and recharging ground water reservoirs. We have the science, do we have the will?

I look at the animals on earth, most of which are either trying to eat another animal alive, or avoiding being eaten alive. I look at the cruelties inflicted by people upon one another, and I think, there's not the slightest hope there's any kind of God.

The creator is the universe, and we are all a part of it. That is why it is so beautiful. Remember, countless beautiful and awe-inspiring species have evolved and died hundreds of millions of years on this planet. We've only seen a tiny fraction.

There is an "easy" solution to the soildegeneration problem and our agraric foodproblems, it's called permaculture and it's most likely the opposite of our monocrop farmingsystem. It's so obvious, just mimic nature, create biodiversity and let the rest be done by all those pretty little creatures and lifeforms. Thats what our ancestors did. We as humanity coud create abundant beautiful foodforests all over the world, with prosperous, vibrating life in it. But sadly the big companies and the people who are in line, dictate the current reality of the destruction of our own planet and future, while killing all these innocents beings and lifeforms with us. And we as mostly "uneducated" people play along with it, driven by our own ego and not seeing how beautiful it could all be. So that only the top three percent can "profit" from it, while no matter how much money or power they have, still are hatred in their own hearts. We humans are truly wonderful beings too, but so unconscious and often full of shit. So let's take all this shit and transform it to fragrant soil!
