 Re: Sentience in Trees
Maybe the reason that tree's don't have sentience, is because they lack a will.
Haven't heard of one having an organ resembling a brain either.
Maybe the 3 go hand in hand: brain - will - sentience.
Probably because they best serve their purpose without those. If they had those, they would serve a different purpose.
And what would "fill their boots" if they did not serve their purpose.
Could you imagine a world where trees left the role of trees, and tried to assume the role of people or animals that had a will? |
