@celastrinacalea: The intelligence of living systems

ScalesInTheWind :

We often talk about the ways trees cooperate and support one another, but what about the opposite? Do trees also exhibit behaviors that resemble human competition, aggression toward others, or even tribalism?

Lichon :

These networks can be tapped into to make music. They’re insane. Often responding to our musical input.

oldromantic67 :

Oh… to be an old tree and live in peace and tranquility 💕💕

Nytesong :

We are all connected. We are as one. We are the organism. Everything, everyone...

Saul Vincent 691 :

Cool 😎

hugodcsantos82 :

All matter is all-counscious. Even rocks. All matter has memory.

Christopher Orgeron :

Native here. The bush does talk.

MythicSaber :

If you’re too far get closer, if you’re too close, get farther, and if you’re just right, do what everyone else is doing

electro-magnetism at the atomic level...[Heartwarming]

Brilliant Celastrina. Our parliament needs to reinvent itself and function in this way. Beyond IQ, collective intelligence, concensus; long-term planning instead of election cycles. A problem-solving machine. Unfortunately, they are rooted in Party-first principles. 😳😳😳

Chris Mills :

As I was listening to this I realized that, when I got married to my beautiful wife 23 years ago, she added to my intelligence, giving us the children that we have. That has given us the ability to be able to move forward as a family because of our intelligence. Thank you for the reminder.

Mara Awakens :

a forest doesn't hold a meeting to decide when to drop its leaves. nobody in it is in charge and it still gets done on time. we keep looking for the manager of everything, and mostly we want someone to blame.

The father of Stone :

Si eu sunt copac.

KP :

I have long thought this about trees (and all plants). There's way more going on with plant life than we realise yet.
