Plants Are Conscious Beings Too! (feat. MIDI Sprout)

<center

Many vegans I have met in my life have cited morals as the main reason not to eat animals. "Animals live, they breathe, they are alive and we have no right to kill them for food."

Ever since hearing this I had to agree that it 's true. What does give us the right to kill animals in order to eat them?

As much as I could get with that line of reasoning, a rather inconvenient idea sprang up instantly nagging: "Well, plants aren't alive then? How can you justify killing living plants for food if the protection of life is so important to you?"

And while I never felt this argument should be used in order to load up on supermarket meat produce, I do feel there is something to that line of reasoning. Especially when we consider how very alive plants actually are...

Plants - like animals - come in all different shapes and sizes. Some produce poison when they feel they are being attacked, others have manifested ingenious defense mechanisms against pests, mechanisms to live in symbiosis with their environments, strategies to overcome periods of harsh conditions.

Plants in general are masters of adaptation, eerily similar to human beings who have - in their various cultures - succeeded in making the harshest environments their home. Not all humans can or should live everywhere but you will find them at the far ends of the Earth just like plants that who have managed to reach there, and grow.

But what if we go a step further? Can plants be creative?

MIDI Sprout is something every musician or plant enthusiast ought to have checked out once in their life. It's a machine - a translation if you will - that turns a plant's electric impulses into midi data, notes in a way, becoming available and audible for the human ear. As if that wasn't mindblowing enough this opens up a whole new array of possibilities and insights into the living nature of plants in general. It allows us to listen to them in a way we never have before, to even play with them like we would with another human musician.

It is an attempt at impoving communication between human beings and plants and can only mark the beginning of a deeper understanding for the mysterious world of flora. While human engineers have done their best here to write code that will bring these plant impulses into audible notes it is curious to imagine the possibilities and what things like MIDI sprout will do to the plant spirit that is suddenly and directly audible by human beings who have never listened.

Not saying you should stop eating plants now, just that we may want to find better criteria for our diet than "it's a living being" - it doesn't seem that simple anymore. I mean just consider how difficult it would make consumption if you didn't only raise the lady but also jammed with her...
