The most interesting aspect of this piece is when you discuss types of animal consciousness and the purpose of the nervous system. And I had no idea about sessile and vagil states being connected to the evolution of nervous systems.

But does this mean that you don't believe Venus Fly Trap is conscious? (like you said in our podcast). I got the feeling in this article that you think consciousness is dependent on a nervous system? Is that accurate?
