#927 - Annaka Harris - Unpacking The Mystery Of Consciousness

If there are grasses planted, you know, over here, it'll sense the shape and how much nutritional content is there, all this whole list of things that they've now studied. It can tell by the light that is getting filtered through the leaves and branches of these plants.

And the final study that they did to prove this was they used LED lights and they set up different shapes of different plants, the types of plants, Some being the types of plants that they would be interested in attaching to and others like grasses. But they were just LED lights in the shape of grass and LED lights in the shape of plants that would be the type of plants it would enjoy.

And it went toward, it went, made the right choice. So all of this I find fascinating, I think just because it is fascinating, but in terms of the level of complexity that we think is required for consciousness, I think this is all very intuition shaking. And that's kind of where I like to live and where I like to do my work. And so, you know, you can kind of fall on either side of it.

I don't know if plants are conscious. That's not actually why I became interested in them. The reason I started doing a deep dive into this is because my intuition is that plants aren't conscious like most people.

And so the question is, when we started unveiling some of these much more complex behaviors that kind of fall into the categories of human behaviors, I spoke to a plant biologist, Danny Shamovitz, Daniel Shamovitz, and he and I spoke a lot about how he wasn't sure which terms to use. He would say, you know, can you say a plant can hear? Can you say a plant can see? And without consciousness,

How do you describe the same phenomenon? And then, of course, you know, is it possible that there is some conscious level of conscious awareness there? But my interest was less in that and more in how is it that we can look at some behaviors that are quite human-like and not think consciousness is necessary for them, but somehow...

When we exhibit similar behaviors, we think it couldn't be done without consciousness. And where are we mistaken?
