Plant Consciousness

The most speculative and hotly contested concept—the idea that plants might possess some form of subjective experience or sentience. This is not the scientific mainstream, but is explored in philosophy and some fringe science. It asks: If consciousness is an emergent property of complex information processing, could a neural-like network of vascular and chemical signaling give rise to a slow, green form of awareness? There's no empirical evidence for it as we understand consciousness, but it challenges our assumptions about which life can "feel."

Example: "After his meditation retreat, Chad claimed to have achieved unity with plant consciousness. 'They're always singing,' he said, 'a slow, chemical song of light and soil.' The botanist next to him replied, 'That's called photosynthesis and osmosis, Chad. And your foot is on the rosemary.'" Plant Consciousness

Hard Problem of Plant Consciousness

The most speculative leap: the question of whether plants, with their integrated signaling and responsive behaviors, could have any form of subjective experience. Not thinking, but feeling—even if it's a slow, diffuse sensation of light, damage, or attraction. With no brain or nervous system, what would consciousness even be made of? It’s the ultimate challenge to our animal-centric view of sentience, pushing the boundaries of whether consciousness is a universal property of complex, self-sustaining systems or a unique trick of neural circuitry.

Example: "The mystic says the forest has a spirit. The scientist says it's a chemical network. The hard problem of plant consciousness is the unsettling void between: what if they're both right? What if that 'spirit' is a real, subjective experience, but one so alien and slow we could never recognize, let alone measure, it?"

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.
