Re: I am scared

there's sighted people with the phobia, I forget the name of it. Plants are just kind of creepy when you think about it some. But a lot of that comes from really just in general not being so great at upredictable things: my adaptation to stimuli is that there's like a 1 second window or less where it needs to be identified, otherwise anxiety. Run your hand along a plant and you can't identify what's coming up. People love to say o biology is very mathematical and, well, yes, but not mathematical enough that there can be a plant-model like I have a dog-model or a spoon-model or whatever.
The knock-on effect being that I can't convince myself they don't move, down at some lizard brain level. Obviously it doesn't, we all know that, but it's a thing that makes unpredictable noises and has unpredictable textures and if you lave it alone for a week it's entirely different. I know what a dog is going to do, or a bug, or whatever: they have constrained shapes and behaviors. So whatever I've got running all the time, if the dog sticks its nose on me, it just goes "yay, dog, pet" in the stimulus identification window and it's all good, I know where the rest of the dog is at, etc.
