Love & Philosophy
Love is the answer. Philosophy is the practice. Paradox is the portal. Holding what feels irreconcilable opens new ways of thinking. That may sound simple but it's also intimate, uncomfortable and expansive. These conversations push beyond traditional bounds while also respecting the binaries that have defined us.
By love and philosophy we mean the people, passions, and ideas that move us, shape the trajectories of our lives, and co-create our wider landscapes.
Thank you for your support. It really helps.

The Minds of Plants with Paco Calvo: Are plants intelligent?
Paco Calvo leads the MINT Lab and is the renowned author of 'Planta Sapiens,' as we explore the revolutionary concepts of plant intelligence and co-evolution. In today’s rapidly advancing scientific world, the idea of plant intelligence often sparks a heated debate. Can plants think? Do they possess some form of intelligence or cognition? Paco Calvo, the renowned cognitive scientist and philosopher, presents compelling evidence suggesting that plants do indeed have a unique form of intelligence. Calvo elaborates on the critical role of ways plants make their way in the world, promoting a paradigm shift towards ecological humility and interconnectedness. This conversation underscores the importance of redefining scientific practices and education to better understand the vital yet often overlooked relationships between humans and plants. Embrace a new perspective on our ecological allies and their intrinsic value as we advocate for a more integrated and respectful approach to nature.
