  • they could be controlling us without us knowing like what they do to bee's

  • I Can talk to plants and they answer me.

  • No plants are not. Plants may have defense mechanisms against predators and other things but they are not aware of their own existence which defines intelligence.

  • @Colton8646 how do you know? u dont..and u cant prove it...every form that exist has a form of conciousness evan objects (they dont want u to kno) it was proven that they have conciousness and that is a form of inteligence..also adapting is also a form of inteligence..they just tryed to ridicul this scinetist.. becouse he proved something..my father he knows what the trees wants and understand them....hes a viticulturist..just becouse u dont understand them doesnt mean other dont

  • @adirockboy "They don't want me to know". Circular argument . Adapting is not a form of intelligence the plant doesn't know its adapting, It was not proven they have consciousness.

  • anyone seen avatar?

  • Comment removed

  • Yes people. The earth itself is a living organism! Thats what they dont want you to know!

  • so every time i smoke weed....

  • @thehoodlum1919 YES! The weed is talking to you! Its TRUE!

  • Any one see the happening?

  • Jellyfish do not have brains, yet they can sense current, light, and touch.

  • My baby sunflower has a play-date coming up...

  • @paco11ish - cool.

  • plants do have a consciousness,listen and you'll hear!

  • TAKE THAT VEGANS!

  • I just turned vegitarian :(

  • @chirpflutter murderer

  • Chris, people. Is everything a conspiracy now? This video completely misses the point. Remember, Vegetarians and other plant eaters typically eat FRUIT or the fruited parts of plants... benefiting the plant by passing the undigested or detached seeds in an almost perfectly produced, natural fertilizer. You don't murder a tomato plant by eating a tomato, you are a cog in the machine, a bee harvesting pollen, assisting the tomato plant by passing tomato seeds.

    Life forms, evolved in communion.

  • @achmedboy Very nice way of putting it :)

  • i believe they have a conscious

  • Clive Baxter

  • I got into a bag of peanuts. Oh, the humanity!

  • Om Mani Padme Hum

  • "Being alive is a real trip."

  • This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

  • @c0h3n03 Some of the points are valid, but the presentation is just way over the top.

  • I don't know if plants are intelligent but they could replace a lot of people here at my job and no one would know the difference.

  • Look up the documentary, The Secret Life of Plants. Very interesting about how plants could have intelligence/conscious

  • that explains why i hear crying whenever i ask my son to cut the grass.... waiiitttt

  • ok! the plants have something they don't want me to know.. lolz

  • I hate the new voice.

  • @TheLegitTraceurKid This is the same voice.

  • @SIMPLlCITY I know its the same voice, its just the change of tone thats different.

  • is it me or dose the title say "stuff they dont want you to known" ?

  • @eviltree6565

    ummmm.....not trying to nitpick, but someone who spell "does" as "dose" shouldn't be giving spelling lessons.

  • the best part of this is very simply the definition of intelligence: any organism that can solve problems.

    now whether you agree with that or not, it clears up a lot of misconception about my ex wife.

  • i eat veggies with my meat.. theres always room for earths creatures...right next to the mashed potatoes lol cheers

  • Comment removed

  • Vegetarians are just as retarded as dedicated meat eaters( I am unsure if there is an official name for them except carnivores, but that normally describes a species as a whole.). Look at nature. There are herbivores (ie. Cows), carnivores (ie. Lions), and omnivores (ie. Humans). Humans are naturally omnivores, therefore if you religiously eat meat or are a dead set vegetarian, you are screwing with nature.

  • plants are not only intelligent

    they are aware of us and of there surroundings

    wen you kill plants its no big deal to you because you can't hear them scream

    i love terence mckenna

  • Stop lying to yourself that evolution is real. Subscribe! YouTube: "CSE-01 Age of the Earth (FULL) Kent Hovind." Google: "False Radiometric Dating Assumptions." If I get buried on top of a Dragon, doesn't prove I evolved from the Dragon. Homologous structures prove a Common Designer who designed similarly because He knew similar functions would require similar parts! Tautology: Who survives? The fittest. Who's the fittest? Those who survive! Richest, luckiest, funniest, quickest, strongest,etc.

  • I'm a plant and i'm intelligent, but don't tell anyone or i will get you...

  • I'm impressed that they put a McKenna quote in the end.Not bad!

  • I remember when I was 5, I was about to make a wish by blowing on a dandelion and before I could, the dandelion talked to me! It had the same voice as Samuel L. Jackson! I remember its words exactly,

    "MOTHERFUCKER! DONT YOU DARE BLOW ON ME!"

  • The planet is a living thing and we are it's parasites :/

  • typo in the title*

  • Know*

  • I think it is good to think of plants as intelligent. We are what we eat ;-) Eat your veggies people.

  • "Stuff They Don't Want You to Known"

    Proofread the title,please.

  • @jetpoweredgriffin I chuckled.

  • @YesWeCanSEE

    Well,

    I'd certainly rather do that than make you snarl or snivel-

    too much strife on Youtube.

    Peace,

    -g

  • DMT.. DMT!!!!

  • A lot of this is basic 5th grade science, the only difference is whether plants do it as adaptation or intentually

  • I for one welcome our new triffid overlords

  • isnt this what avatar was trying to explain

  • Stuff they don't want you to know: how to spell this title :|

  • Here's where it gets crazy!

  • Oh my gosh guys... plants are conspiring to take over the world.

  • that last terrence mc kenna line was great,

    what veggies have it wrong and the animals are a by-product of nature needing seed spreaders, wouldnt that mean that we, like other animal species are not as important as the whole of the earth and her flora?

  • Tulip use Razor leaf!

  • Comment removed

  • Solve problems? There is nothing new in saying that living things adapt to their environment to survive.

  • intelligence is a matter of perspective, and perspective is in the eye of the beholder. All life is equally precious and intelligent in its own way and should be respected the same way you want to be respected, however let there be no delusion about what you require to exist in balance with nature, as nature holds no delusions. We life forms are all made of the same material, we all carry the same energy presence. My love for this world is vast, and it gives me the courage to fight for it.

  • @HamTylerLives I get that you're trying to be deep, but you're dead wrong. Intelligence is not a matter of perspective as it's a defined word and you either meet that definition or you do not.

  • @jayfulf we adjust definitions to better suit a meaning of refined understanding all the time, see *terrorist and the usa governments use of it. it is essentially their newest F-bomb label covering all from journalist to animal rights activists and everything below or above for that matter and it hardly fits the book definition, languages grow as cultures do.

  • @HamTylerLives The point you made is again, not entirely correct. The government uses the word TERRORist because of it's capitalised letters, it's propaganda not the "new" meaning of the word. Again, intelligence has a meaning and you cannot simply come up with your own meaning for the word.

  • @jayfulf stfu troll he is very correct go back to your basement mister

  • @WingZeroHeeroYuy Is that why you're reading through the comments, sifting through the ones that you want to reply to. There's a word for that...

  • @HamTylerLives You got it! I hope humanity think the way like you do....keep in touch..

  • @HamTylerLives Right on

  • @HamTylerLives "All life is equally precious and intelligent" lol almost, what about survival of the fittest and natural selection, Only the strong survive. Nature is brutal and destructive. All things arnt equal, but keep up the love "D

  • @HamTylerLives Nature doesn't even know it fucking exists, nature does not look ahead it is not self aware. It is just a process.

  • Vegetarians are murderers!

  • @andid no.

  • hahahahahahahahaa plants have not said anything for either side XD that made me laugh

  • @huskyclaw You can say the same about humans. the only "tools" Humans use is ones to reproduce and live. how do Humans benefit the Universe or the planet for that matter.

  • I need a job doing research in a Tuscan winery :)

  • do plants use tools? all they do is live.

  • misstype on the title

  • This was in interesting perspective, never quite thought about plants like this before.

  • plants are the smartest living things

  • Plants just live. Human tax and complain.

  • To think Gia is stupid is ignorant. It has a communal intelligence unlike humans who have egos.

    They work together to survive, while we only work together to harm the earth for our own beifits and ego...

  • Stuff they dont want you to know, is not really what it used to be.. but hey, cool that its back :) cant wait for something that might blow my mind..

  • Is this the history channel?
