Our Green Neighbors

Posted in Humanity on January 10th, 2006

Plants. Are we smarter than them? I mean really? Most people would say that we are but what is that based on? We don’t know how they think, how they perceive. Plants chill out. They move really slow. Maybe that is smart. I mean they live a long time. There are lots of them.
Don’t get me wrong now, I love humans. Some of my best friends are human. But I can’t let that bias me.

Sure a plant is not going to ever win a chess game vs a human. No one would have the patience to teach it. But a human is not going to win the classic plant game of “live for 500 years and grow 100 feet tall” anytime soon either.

I’m sure some people would like to argue that plants don’t have a complex central nervous system or blah blah blah. But if you’re gonna base it all on physical biology, than you might as well just say humans and plants are both just sets of deterministic atoms and neither is smarter. And maybe that is true, but it is a boring answer.

Anyway my point here is you shouldn’t underestimate plants’ intelligence, because maybe they will rule the Earth someday, or maybe they already do.

kthxbye.
