And we will be able to just tap somehow into that information, like climate, fluctuations, organisms, interactions, movements.
I mean, like so many different things, right?
Like that right now, I don't think that we even have the language.
of being able to understand at the organismic level of how much information that is stored in one single one of those organisms.
But then think about a chloroplast, for instance, or like one of the photosynthetic organelles inside of the cells.
How is it that they have been shaped for hundreds of years in those organisms, right?
And I think that perhaps in the future,
this is more of a sci-fi right now, but perhaps in the future we will be able to harvest that type of wisdom.
We will be able to understand a lot about the place or the earth that we live in.
That's point number one.
Point number two,
that these plants have been interacting and we have been interacting with plants for hundreds of years, right?
And obviously we are a consequence of the environment, right?
Like here driving in LA or driving in a major city for some of us is just like second nature, right?
But if you go into a jungle, then all of a sudden it will not be the same thing, right?
But for somebody that has been in the jungle for hundreds of years, now all of a sudden they are able to describe with such a sensitivity of like how it is that the jungle is, the makeup of the jungle is in there.
I've seen native people walking through the jungle without shoes.
And right before stepping on a leaf, stopping and then pointing out, like, look underneath that leaf and then lifting it out and then a tarantula right there.
Like, how do you even make sense of that?
Like, I don't have the sensory acuity or the wisdom to be able to figure that out.
