Intelligence of #plants. From 1918. It is interesting that #vitalism survived much longer in France as a #biological theory if ever went away. Wonderful if very fragile acquisition. The name written on the cover is from the partner’s maternal line. A lawyer named de Sèze, 1 of 3 to defend Louis XVI, was spared the same fate due to his gratis work for the poor. He was recognized and released, else you wouldn’t be reading this! #biologie #biology #climate #flora #fate?

Such articles are ironic and unintentionally remixing of older, known vitalist ideals without proper attribution.

Humans crave to be different from everything else. Hence, we propose principles to support such differences.

As these principle are scrutinized, they always narrow down to increasingly intangible threads. Eventually, we admit (despite the cries of believers) that there is no evidence for the threads.
