ITS A SCIENTIFIC little short about plants having feelings! yeah know the things we have. Yeah they can also talk we just cant hear it with our own ears, strangely the voice is one of an older black man.

If u can what the music clip is from the intro and outro you'll be super cool.

  • @consciousnesswarrior I like your enthusiasm on the matter. However, the key statement you made was "AS IF they had a nervous system." But they simply don't. They respond to stimuli the way a starfish does, at most. But not out of pain like an animal or human.

  • @asswaxer100 I love people who flippantly throw the word "psuedoscience" around as if they're an authority on something.Apparently your unaware of Jagadish Chandra Bose and his work with plants."In his research in plant stimuli,Bose showed with the help of his newly invented crescograph that plants responded to various stimuli as if they had nervous systems like that of animals.He therefore found a parallelism between animal and plant tissues."

  • @consciousnesswarrior I highly doubt that it's 'somewhat like our nervous system'. This is actually pseudoscience, and as far as I can see, it won't go beyond that.

  • @asswaxer100 They're discovering different things with root systems (somewhat like our nervous system) in plants than what you're offering here. When something happens up top, signals are sent to the roots and back up to the plant. They change their patterns. So it's pretty obvious that they experience something when trauma happens to the above ground portion of the plant. It's no wonder that the root system is below ground where only few animals or pests can bother them.

  • there should be sound scientific practice if you're going to call it scientific!

  • @consciousnesswarrior There's only a certain amount a living thing can perceive and feel-- we cannot see ultraviolet light, for example, etc. If you were to take out the part of the brain that tells you you're injured, you wouldn't "feel" any pain, there would be no pain. Being hurt is not the same as being in pain. Now plants don't have a brain altogether. therefore, even thought a plant can become damaged, it would not feel pain.

  • @asswaxer100 How we name concepts does not change the reality of those concepts as it applies to other life beings. Pain is pain. IT's not something that only animals and humans experience. We might be the only ones to conceptualize it, but, experience is a different matter all together. We know plants "experience" life. They are conscious of their environment and act accordingly to various stimuli. We might never know if a plant can communicate its pain via observable phenomenon.

  • @consciousnesswarrior If u read what i wrote carefully, i didn't deny that plants have consciousness. I said that they don't know the concept of pain, for it is a mere concept. Only humans and animals can conceptualize, not plants.

  • @asswaxer100 plants have consciousness.  Period. They don't have OUR consciousness. Consciousness > Physics.

  • To all vegetarians...
