A plant pundit comments on plants, the foibles and fun of academic life, and other things of interest.

"A simple definition of plant intelligence can be coined as adaptively variable growth and development during the lifetime of the individual."
In which case viruses -- which aren't even universally regarded as being alive -- qualify as "intelligent," wouldn't they? Defining words so as to reach the conclusion you want to reach is sort of like masturbation: it may satisfy you; it may even totally blow your mind, but you shouldn't be surprised if nobody else is interested in your results.
