But it happens a lot as if all human beings are somewhat connected. So I thought that the Earth might be one huge organism and all the lesser organisms, the bacteria, the plants, animals everything including us are part of this huge global organism. Basically saying here the Earth might have a core brain, but not a brain we would be thinking of. The trees on this world serve a huge purpose. They breathe out oxygen for the animals and why do things like this work. The Earth is thinking. But we as humans are the only sapient animals. If you want to count dolphins.
But when concrete is poured on the ground, notice how it cracks and sometimes plants grow out. Nature is constantly fighting our artificial life style.
So do you think the Earth is somewhat telepathic, sapient or just a huge organism? Please have a sane discussion, no sillyness.
If you've not read any Sheri S Tepper, you should.
The "True Game" books, and the Arbai Trilogy discuss roughly what you're talking about - and "The Companions" deals with it explicitly.
