The "thinking" aspect of plants might be reclaimed in respect of the overall foundations of mother nature's connected biodiversity.
As the maker of the octopus doco put it, the "giant biological mind". This interview is cued up at the point he mentions that: https://youtu.be/oyBqZ-_5B_8?t=587 https://youtu.be/oyBqZ-_5B_8?t=587
I think he makes a good point, it's a good reminder.
It's a distraction when the argument becomes "plants can't think like humans". But why should plants need to think like us to be protected or respected? The point is, humans are crushing those precious ecosystems, all because individual plants can't think and fish have no feelings.
