assuming you could call phototropism "consciousness," that still requires a physical structure, not emanations from the ether |

I'm pretty sure Rob is right. I have an 8 sided time-window key crystal that resonates with my root chakra. Surely, it posseses a certain level of consciousness that allows its healing properties to flow.
Hold my hand, and see... |

for real though, plants exhibit awareness of their surroundings, which is a sign of consciousness. It may be that the deists and animists were right, that everything in the Universe has consciousness, because the Universe has consciousness.

what happened to the "all things science" thread sorry but i gotta be a positivist on these matters-- not measurable or repeatable = philosophy perhaps, but definitely not science |

they will eventually experiment on it and show it to be true.

I still do not believe in soul, but more that consciousness is an inherent property of matter.

that's just belief though-- i don't even know what you mean by "soul". as for testing-- we don't even have a way to detect "consciousness". all we have is the other side of the turing tests-- "we have it" and if the machine cannot be differentiated then it's "intelligent". but how do you define it? and worse, how do you measure it? magnetism? electricity? something else we don't even know about? give cognitive neuroscience a couple of centuries and maybe we can start to investigate the "consciousness" of plants. meanwhile, it's just hocus pocus. |

What does THE WEED think about you smoking its sex-parts, Rob?
You should feel ashamed. THE WEED would never smoke yr sex-parts (although that might feel nice). |

vegetarians don;t know that they are killing plants, living beings. Their morality is so stupid.
