    Do they even think? i know plants are living organisms, and ive come to believe that they are capable of some form of thought. particularly because of the complexity and spiritual nature of trees. Now whats really messing with my head is that if trees really can think and are aware of human existence then could it be possible that trees are like some sort of omnipotent being? just watching life unfold in some sort of meditative trance?

    I also read an old proverb saying that one who waits long enough for something or has unlimited patience will become a tree...

    They probably think mostly about themselves.

    They probably think
    "Oh shit, damn wood pecker
    Don't fuckin cut me down!!
    Humans are bitches
    I wish i could move
    One of these days me and my brothers and sisters will rise up from our roots and kill you all"
    Trees are homocidal =)

    I'm glad you mentioned it. Seeing as trees have brains the size that a tyrannosaurus rex did, and seeing as tyrannosaurus rex mainly ran on instinct besides when it got horny and masturbated in caves (as proved by drag marks) trees probably run on instinct besides when they get horny and masturbate (as proved by roots protruding from the ground). I very much hope this helped you understand the thought process of trees.
     
  11. Trees like to masturbate.

    Trees actually talk well maybe more like communicate not talk and not verbal but chemical language.
    But I doubt that they talk or think philosophy just simple alarm messages are sent when attacked to alert other trees near by to get ready to be chewed on. With the alarm transmitted the tree haves some time to release and deliver toxins it to its leaves which should discourage whatever is eating the near by tree from eating, attacking all of them.
    When u think about it trees are like very slow animals they cant run away when attacked, so they work together just like other harmless species with legs they know there is strength in numbers.




    So plants don't think much but it seems to me they have some sort of intelligence even without a brain hehe I mean look at this

    Thees flowers imitate insects so that they could be fertilized and the resemblance is far from coincidence. Each flower not only approximates the size, shape and color of a different local insect, but imitates the female reproductive pheromones of the appropriate species, attracting male insects.




    Heres a mind fuck how does the flower know whats is an insect how can it comprehend that it is beneficial for it to imitate an insect.


    Its weird u know its like someone haves design them to look and function the way they do lol or the flowers plants trees... have some form of consciousness.



    So what do trees think about i have no idea but i think it is possible they do.

    Ok, plants don't think, plants aren't intelligent.
    Everything they do is on a chemical level.

    they're probably like boring humans.....I would expect trees to always be talking and thinking about the weather.

    Yeah fair enough they don't think the way we do but still there's something there if its on chemical or electronic impulses whats driving decision to turn towards the sun to imitate an insect we all living things think its just that we humans think on more complex levels.
    Theres haves been a time when human ancestors where living on pure instinct but we added levels like our brain is made out of layer first came reptilian then mammal then primates its evolution of thought.
    To say plants don't think is to say plants don't react instinctively and instinct is just pre evolutionary thought.

    Maybe "tree's" think of what way they want to get smoked when they die...
    Papers, blunt, bowl, bong, hooka, crazy inventions stoner's think of, etc.

    no, the chemical which causes growth is adverse to UV light, and is such is pushed to the furthest part of the plant from the source of the UV rays, causing the plant to grow more rapidly on the side furthest form the sun, thus causing it to grow "towards the sun". It doesn't think. Thanks.

    Hmm what is that movie called.....
    Anyways the trees and plants are homicidal
    They release oxygen and help us breathe
    but what if the harnessed shit like carbon monoxide and released that instead?
    Don't piss them off or we could all end up killing ourselves
    everything adapts to their surroundings
    it's only a matter of times b4 they start seeing us as a threat and killing us
    it's not global warming
    it's the fuckin plants!

    Dude i know they don't think the way we do. U can relax xD but still i choose to belief there's some sort of primitive thinking going on which human mind can not understand.
