    What other understanding of sentience would we fucking use?!
    The mycelium network thing is way overblown - it allows some crude, undetectedundirected signals to pass.

      I see it as a problem to solve - we know that signals pass because of the results, but we have yet to detect them

        I typo’d “undirected” if that affects anything.

        My point is, people talk about this as if it’s the plants having a nice chat and a cup of tea and talking about politics. It isn’t - it’s more like a dog being able to smell some dog piss and understand something about the dog that pissed there.
