thanks, i sometimes think of how people say “this is a flower” and “this is a weed”, even though the weed has flowers too.
you could oppose this by saying the weed is actually useful because it has medicinal qualities or something, but then you’re using the same frame of thought. instead i think its better to accept we probably dont know too much, and should just let other creatures do their thing :))
actually, if you wanted to play a game that talks about this topic i made one last year

i’d be happy to hear what you think about it
appreciate that you point out "then you’re using the same frame of thought". There's more to life than transactional exchange!
Thanks for sharing plant study time!! Like that you talked about how it doesn't need to be a zero sum game!! Something felt a bit weird to me about the trees superior to humans thing but im glad you believe in cooperation :)
thanks for playing!
trees being superior to humans is just how tree-chan sees reality. since its more of a comedy game she is meant to be aloof (she is looking down on humans, quite literally, since you know - she’s a tree and she is tall).
but yeah the stuff she says about trees cooperating i do find impressive
