80. Taking Plant Sentience Seriously w. Nic & Kathrin
Update: 2022-02-18
Description
Rundown
In this episode, Mexie talks with fellow Total Liberation activists Nic and Kathrin about the exciting inner life plants and what taking plant sentience seriously would mean for our politics and how we show up in the world. We focus much of the first part of the discussion on Peter Wolleben’s “The Hidden Life of Trees”, discussing some of the exciting scientific discoveries about plant sentience and communities. We finish with a thorough grappling of the implications of plant sentience and how we as Total Liberation activists can improve our theory and praxis.
