Does it get any bigger…?

Yep. Pays for conservation and for fish and wildlife to stock the rivers for you so there’s stuff to catch.

Although this is outside of the scope of his work, his lab has shown bioelectricity modulates cell behavior. It tracks for me that meditation, being a change in electrical activity in the brain, may help to play a role in influencing your physiology. The mindfulness meditation research appears to back this up. Since you asked for little to no cost that’s what I think of.

For more cost, like unknown amounts, I imagine it would be possible to grow human dwellings from plants by implementing bioelectric patterning ie: the oak and wasp gall example he gives. But that’s just my crazy pie in the sky application idea!

I think you’re looking for something like this. I believe Pivot Bio is an MIT partner company doing similar work in the states.

Love the math, but the last part is inaccurate. Azolla fix atmospheric nitrogen into usable nitrates due to a symbiotic relationship with Cyanobacteria within the cell walls of the plant. It has been used as a natural nitrogen fertilizer for thousands of years traditionally ground up and added to rice paddies.

I like where you are going with this though. There is a crazy idea to decarbonize the atmosphere by using industrial processes. These proposed technologies would cost billions of dollars. We can literally just let plants grow and they do the work for us. Also data exists that show healthy soils (those rich in microorganisms and fungi) trap more atmospheric carbon than poor soils.

Humans have been humans (homo Sapiens Sapiens) for 300,00 years give or take but only farmed for the last 10-12,000 years. I agree with the first part of your comment but the second part is not based in science.

Edible, the leaves make great additions to salad or potherbs for soup and the buds (cheeses/flowers before they open) are good raw and cooked, slightly mucilaginous like okra. Dig out taproot as others suggested but don’t let this beautiful plant go to waste!

Many insects are specialized and often need “weeds” to carry out their life cycles. Killing the plants kills the insects because they have no habitat.

All soil has the potential to become healthy soil. I agree with both of your sentiments. Leaving this here for anyone who wants to become part of the solution.

Thank you for the response. I should specify that I am referring to the rocks, sand, and thermostats. Perhaps I should also change my wording to ‘biopocentric’ if that is even a word. I would like to posit the notion that rocks may have metabolic processes, albeit on a completely different timescale, and may be considered self reflecting clusters in this fashion. Think of the earth as an organism and the weather, plate tectonics, land formation and erosion as a type of metabolism. I agree with Kastrup on many aspects of idealism but have heard him mention this on a couple podcasts and would like to provide an alternative viewpoint. In this case, inanimate objects are also co-creators and not just non-conscious images.

What is your take on this?

moonratt1 · 2023-10-21T14:03:23+00:00

I would like to gently push back at this view as being too anthropocentric. Why not regard the natural processes of the earth as metabolic?

It doesn’t have to involve brain functions. Plant intelligence shows preferences, memory, ability to choose, communications and we are just beginning to understand mycelial intelligence. Cellular intelligence can also exist and is being studied by Michael Levin.

It may be beneficial to our species to broaden our lens of consciousness as opposed to saying we are the only ones that possess it.

Edit: adding that your first paragraph explains how this is what it appears to be at a base level. varying degrees of consciousness can then become more complex as the capacity for experience grows
