@eigenrobot @simplic10 All my best ideas are made by arbitrarily applying human moral primitives from the perspectives of insects.Up until know, I had only been applying power in the context of kink and S&M. I never thought to stretch it directly to consent norms in society.https://t.co/KDEeyzRHKH
@eigenrobot @simplic10 I don't wanna be the guy who talks about consent among insects and plants.I'm only comfortable with talking about cannibalism.https://t.co/bRvGQ516jw
@eigenrobot @simplic10 I wondered today if cicadas are attracted to certain trees more because the old sick trees are consenting to being killed so they can be used to fertilize young saplings and help light up the forest floor.

@eigenrobot @simplic10 I wanna masturbate plants and listen to them sing in pleasure.https://t.co/Yve8QxLktk
@eigenrobot @simplic10 I mean, just digging into that idea alone has netted"Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example."Thus showing my idea of creating a meshnet of sensors for farming might actually be quite useful.https://t.co/4i5DPURWZ6
I wanna listen to plants"Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and tobacco plants, they believe other plants may make sounds when stressed too. In a preliminary study, they also recorded ultrasonic sounds from a spiny pincushion cactus"https://t.co/BNEdHDaInn
