MICHAEL POLLAN ON THE PLANT'S DIFFERENT DIMENSION OF TIME

Listening to Michael Pollan on Joe Rogan Experience podcast talking about studying plants with time lapse photography which gives us the opportunity to see them as “active agents” with a different timeline:

MP: You see them (plants) as personalities with life experiences, successes and failures, in a way you never do. 

JR: It’s just a timeline issue.

MP: It is. We live in a very specific dimension of time, and other creatures live in different dimensions of time…So, we need to be able to imagine these other dimensions. The tool of time lapse photography is a powerful one for showing us.
