#Scientists in many fields of knowledge are now coming to the conclusion that the #intelligence, indeed the #wisdom, with which #life and the #earth's systems organize themselves, develop and interact with each other is beyond anything we can imagine or imitate. The further the #researchers advance, the greater the complexity, intelligence and wisdom. They do not know how it comes about.
Of course. Intelligence, wisdom, #beauty, #truth... cannot be measured or divided into parts. Fortunately!
@continentia_verlag Holy buzzword hell.
Mind linking such scientists' papers that suggest the Earth's systems aren't purely random, aren't driven by natural selection and evolutionary dynamics, and in fact somehow the systems of the planet, and of life itself, are somehow 'intelligent'?
Just because a combination of things makes life seem intelligent (and 'wise'?), doesn't mean it IS intelligent (and 'wise').

Thank you for your question.
I mentioned physicists and biologists, so I must provide at least two names, right?
I choose Hans-Peter #Dürr because his work is particularly close to my heart. He said: “I only trust what I can verify myself.” I think that's a good guideline for anyone who is seriously interested in understanding what is real.
And I recently read a book by Suzanne #Simard, “Finding the Mother Tree”, which I highly recommend to you.
@continentia_verlag @icil Suzanne Simard's book anthropomorphises tree characteristics. This has been blasted by a scientific paper, because some of the data in that book is not based on scientific evidence, and which contradicts established knowledge: https://www.cell.com/trends/plant-science/abstract/S1360-1385(23)00272-8
And Hans-Peter Durr was a physicist that somehow wanted to bridge a holistic worldview between science and spirituality, suggesting in some aspects that there's some form of underlying intelligence or consciousness that connects all forms of life and ecosystems - none of this is scientifically sound and requires heavy amounts of actual evidence.
Just because trees happen to 'cooperate' by exchanging sugars and nutrients, does not mean it's something anywhere close to some form of 'intelligence' or 'wisdom'.
Just because some things happen, that helps ecosystems thrive, that helps life move forward, evolve, etc, does not mean there's something intelligent or conscious there. Philosophy and science should remain separate.
