RE: A peep into the weird world of plant's communication

in #steemstem7 years ago

awesome stuff gentle!!! I have a question for you since you're the plant expert =). I'm vegan, and meat eaters always come with the same argument: "plants feel pain too". I always thought this is BS, because they don't have a central nervous system and cannot "think". But now, reading that they communicate with eachother and even insects, you're making me doubt about their self-awareness heheh. So what do you say?

Sort:  

I had the same thought:)

As I decided that could be possible it for me is a good thing to be thankful for all what I eat and what serves me to survive in this world. Everything is feeding by everything. It plays a role for the human consciousness to relate to this fact in some way or another.

It is really a complex situation right now and a subject of big debate in the scientific world. A lot of active research going on in the field as well. Personally, I think there might be more discoveries on this. Did you read my article on plants responding to music? I sincerely believe they feel pains, in all honesty.

I haven't read it but now I will! Thanks! And damn that wasn't the answer I hoped to read heheh

sorry if I'd bust your bubble :)
