Are you aware that trees are so well entangled with one another (in a forest or grove) that they can move water to the trees that need it the most?
A level of consciousness we struggle to comprehend.
Yes, I do know that. I haven't had much luck talking about that with people online or offline. Most people are VERY resistant to the idea of plant consciousness. About two years ago, I brought up it to an engineer I know, and she literally laughed in my face. I tried to explain about how consciousness can be defined, including how it can react to its environment, but it did not go over well. But I tried. (We are still friends though!)
