00:07What would it be like to be a plant?
00:19Most of my colleagues refer to the plants as the species,
00:24the specimens, the natural resources.
00:26But to me, they really are beings.
00:30They're persons.
00:33The trees and all the plants have partnerships
00:36with fungi in the soil,
00:39and it's a form of communication.
00:42Las plantas se comunican unas con otras 24-7.
00:47Somos criaturas sociales.
00:48Las plantas también.
00:51Las plantas duermen.
00:52They are going to bed. Look at that.
00:54Isn't it amazing?
00:55Yeah.
00:56Eso es la sintiencia.
00:58Now we're asking things like
01:00do trees recognize their relatives?
01:03And we're finding out that they do.
01:05And that changes everything too.
01:09In the críticas que he received,
01:11me han dicho literalmente de todo.
01:13Es como decirme que soy simplemente un ignorante,
01:16que qué hace un filósofo como tú
01:17metiéndose en un jardín como éste.
01:23We have to have a fundamental rethink
01:25of how we see ourselves in this web of life.
01:30It's not the land that's broken.
01:32It's our relationship to land that's broken.
01:36The old trees are no longer there.
01:38We want them back, right?
01:40Because that's life.
01:42So how would we live differently
01:44if we thought about the world as our kinfolk
01:46instead of a warehouse of goods?
01:49It's...
01:50It's a radical shift.
01:54What is a plant?
01:57What does it mean in a plant?
01:58What does it mean in a plant?
01:59What does it mean to us?
02:00We're not so different.
02:03I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
