Been studying plant-fungal interactions for about 10 years, including a master's degree I dropped out of and never actually finished* so I'm full of fungus facts i don't really get to use ever.
*Actually did all the course work and lab work but didn't finish my thesis in time
But dont neurons function the same way?
If you can get enough together....
Yeah, exactly. Is intelligence/sentience an emergent property of networks in general or are animals somehow special in some way we can't measure yet? Maybe if I found some (insert relevant drug) I would be able to understand it.
