Plant intelligence is not plant sentience, plant commination is intelligence, computer is intelligent can take signal input but it's not sentient.

There's special trees in Africa that have killed thousands of antelope. When herds start feeding on the trees, they release a distress signal and make themselves poisonous.

[@Knapweed]

Acacia. It killed thousands of Kudu by ramping up its tannin levels in response to being overeaten. The increased tannin killed all the bacteria in the Kudu's stomach necessary for digestion. The animals starved to death with full stomachs. Once the threat had disappeared, the tannin levels returned to normal.

[@whazzup_teacup]

Poison is in fact very common defense mechanism for plants.

[@Knapweed]

@@whazzup_teacup It's not so much that it uses poison, it's that it 'selectively' uses poison only when it's being overeaten. It tolerates being eaten a reasonable amount but ramps tannin up when its existence is threatened and communicates it to all the other acacia around it. Giraffes are aware of this and always take only a nibble or two then move upwind to the acacia that hasn't been warned.

I am a molecular biology student specializing in photosynthetic organisms and I wouldn't consider plants conscious because I consider that to be a property of a central neural network (brains or a neural cluster found only in animals). Plants don't really have a way to respond to their surroundings with the speed an animal can but they definitely have means to communicate and it's very fascinating.

[@brodystevenson3478]

I am a botanist and can confirm that plants communicate with each other and use different methods of communications depending on environmental factors. Plants can tell apart the sound of a caterpillars and beetles and will release the right chemical to counteract pests. This brings up an argument that plants may actually be conscious. They are aware of their surroundings, they can communicate with neighbors, and they react to their surroundings. Plants can also hear. An experiment was done where an instrument that mimics a caterpillars chew was used on the plant. The plant did not release a chemical to counter the caterpillars attack. However when the instrument was used with the sound of a caterpillar chewing it DID release a chemical to counter a caterpillar attack. Plants are incredible. And very misunderstood. Wrote this before I watched the video and was very pleased to hear thoughty2 address some of this.

[@brodystevenson3478]

If plants are not conscious this revelation at the very least should call into question what we know consciousness to be.

[@Kris_Toffer]

Did they check that they didn't just break the "closing function" of the plant from the drops? Otherwise it would be like hitting your remote on the table until it no longer works and going "voila! The remote has consciousness! It is angry at me for hitting it and no longer wants to take my orders!"

[@robinhood4640]

That's outrageous, not only do you admit to violent behaviour toward remote controls but you admit to being a control freak, and psychologically traumatising it by ordering it about. It's hardly a surprise it's angry.

As a teenager, in an altered state, I was walking down a boulevard of ancient wintered- skeletal trees.

Do people still know the pleasant smell of freshly cut lawn? This smell is really the result of that the lawn screaming in pain after mowing. Many plants communicate together by chemicals. Sometimes the smell of chemicals invites helpers, for example, if something threatens to eat a plant. They are also able to sense light variation, pressure and pain. However, plants do not have pain receptors, nerves, or a brain, so they don't feel pain as we understand it.

[@divegabe]

A recent study found they also scream in a wavelength beyond our hearing when in distress or pain.

Don't be silly. There are multiple reasons why vegetarians don't eat meat. You think factory farming is cool ? Keep on eating meat and feeding your kids with it. All those hormones and antibiotics can NEVER harm you because scientists say so. Intensive animal farming definitely damages the ozone layer and is inefficient. You don't NEED to care about that either so carry on. Personally people can eat 5hit and human flesh for all I care. It's their choice. I don't hassle them and /or make idiotic remarks and expect the same in return. Not all vegans and vegetarians are hippy, dippy morons. It's not complicated.

[@lauriesoper4056]

Thank you, 42, very interesting questions here. Another question worth asking is actually at the heart of it: how "intentional" and "intelligent" are human consciousness and human communication? We fool ourselves if we attribute conscious intention to our thoughts, and it is debatable whether we have free will at all. If that question remains largely unanswered, then I do not find it surprising to know that our evolutionary forbears and cousins in both flora and fauna share the same will and consciousness. Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan touch on this in their studies of microbiology, showing how the tiniest of organisms make choices. Why we find "intention" the question is itself fascinating to me. More fascinating is that we make these choices at all. It seems more plausible that it comes down to simple chemical reactions in plants, animals and yes, humans.

So would it not concern you if for instance in 10 years time they discover that plants have consciousness and can scream in pain but u can't hear them. It sounds far fetched but who are we to think that we know everything? Also another reason i think this way is coz i believe in God. So that's my perspective anyway.

you should do a video on panpsychism - it stretches consciousness even farther, claiming that atoms have based levels of consciousness! There are less studies to support the theory, but you could cover the exclusion of consciousness in Galileo's mathematical approach to physics! We understand so little about consciousness! Great video btw! :) thanks for always keeping my lunch breaks interesting!
