Vines sense...Yes, forests may have 'souls'. Vines sense objects that are suitable to climb into. Flowers react to sudden changes in their rhythm and environment. They have a pinpoint of wareness. But be careful with animism, as a child I went through a phase that made me not want to eat eggs, grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts. "My apple is screaming when I bite into it!!"<br />I don't want to think about brainy rocks. I can't live with the idea how the glass industry has been mass-murdering grains of sand for thousands of years!<br /><br />Almost all animal species are outfitted with a defense system. But the metaphorical Mother Nature has set some adaptions in motion that clearly ran rampant. Resulting in limbless snakes, overdressed peacocks, ruminant cows. Animals that makes you think, what's the bloody use?<br />The whale giants, okay? One can say that they need a huge mouth to be able to fill their stomach every day, but why not opt for a more common size, more mobility and the ability to swallow and digest tuna fish and sharks. Next to that, what came first: plankton food, or the giant oral sieve to harvest plankton?<br /><br />Now why should a giraffe's neck evolve to the extreme? Wat made it necessary? Does it mean that during thousands of years there was no food for them on ground and eye level so some biological crane or ladder system was developed? What's so special about leaves from high trees? They are more suvvulent I guess. But so are leaves from less high plants.<br />None of the other quadruped herbivores have this neck. And elephants on towering mosquito legs have been seen so far by one human only; the guy ran away screaming and turned into a surrealist crackpot.<br /><br />I'm inclined to see these animals as misfits. A tortoise may not realize it but the bunker he lives in is an incredible burden. His longevity only makes his life worse.<br />The biological vehicle of the peacock, another example of lacking evolutionary brakes. In a million years from now this travesty of a bird will have such complex tail feathers that the rest of the animal is no longer visible and even a light summer breeze will blow it away.<br /><br />Nature is so crazy- the nightmare called Fruits of the Deep Sea! - that I am inclined to believe in a Creator, an Intelligent Designer. Unfortunately He has shown less intelligence than Nature. dedeurshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775849527808927607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-92039697658654866162018-08-25T23:29:38.806+01:002018-08-25T23:29:38.806+01:00I think the first definition of animism is exactly...I think the first definition of animism is exactly the one used in the paper. The idea that particles could be conscious seem ridiculous.

I just googled animism and found these two definitions: 1) The attribution of a living soul to plants, inanimate objects, and natural phenomena. 2)The belief in a supernatural power that organizes and animates the material universe. <br /><br />Do you think, Rosa, that is the same as saying animism is "the belief that inanimate objects have some form of consciousness. Rain falls because the flowers are thirsty. Flowers are scented because they want to attract pollinators"? <br /><br />BTW, what's the difference between animism and panpsychism according to you, Rosa? <br /><br />I also found this article: https://metascientist.com/panexperientialism-vs-panpsychism-vs-animism/ .<br /><br />Two quotes from that article: <br /><br />1) Panpsychism is the view that everything in the universe is conscious. That everything from the smallest such scale as quantum particles to the largest such as galaxies and in fact the whole universe possesses consciousness. <br /><br />2) Animism is a spiritual concept and it is the oldest known belief system in the world. It is much similar to Panpsychism although slightly different. This is the belief that everything, including inanimate things, has a spirit. The sea has a spirit, so does the wind, the forest, the rocks and the moon etc. <br /><br />Do you agree or disagree, Rosa? <br /><br />Helmer von Helvetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136543309048013677noreply@blogger.com
