There’s a certain category of sentiments I like to summarize as “fuck you for trying”- hoping plants are sentient so vegetarians feel bad is one of those sentiments

Just because plants do have some sensory potentials, they most definitely don't have the same richness or quantity as an animal.

I've been worried about people having this response to the badly made claims of plant consciousness for a while now, but seeing them start to actually make these args makes me want to puke.

If it were real, plant consciousness and sentience would be a painful discovery for vegetarians. And it would ease the guilt of meatlovers. It would be an emotionally high stakes question either way. But plant sentience seems much less likely to me than plant consciousness.
