The whole tree network thing is not as proven as many people think.
But it helps me anthropomorphize them into ents so it must be true
Y’all mf’ers need to read The Secret Life of Plants. It’s fascinating.
It’s from the 1970s or 80s, and it talks about this stuff in extreme depth - plant communication, plants understanding their environment… Long range communication & telepathic plants…
You gotta understand, there’s absolutely zero science to it – TSLoP is richly detailed with unconfirmed anecdotal evidence, some lady said this, a man from Tucson said this other thing, etc. If it was real, it would be world changing, but, at this point, it’s a pretty crazy claim that would need some pretty crazy evidence.
But it’s still fascinating – both from it’s own kayfabe, like, imagine a world in which this was real – and in terms of “conspiracy theories” – is not a conspiracy but it’s clear bullshit so the who and why of it’s believers is interesting. Because it’s not like most conspiracies, which usually eventually lead back to antisemitic and Christian supremacist stuff. TSLoP is a legit leftist conspiracy, all its own thing.
So, if you see The Secret Life of Plants at a used bookstore for a couple dollars, pick it up, it’s really neat.
This comment is the definition of joie de vivre.
I actually witnessed a similar thing today. A girl was going into an extensive history lecture to her boyfriend that later just got up and started walking away and then they got into a fight over it.
So the Lorax is a myconid?
For some updated information on the continued research into plant communication, I would suggest a video by Anton Petrov
