    Well a salad is made of cells that have responses to certain stimuli

    The brain if you where to go and simplify it down to its most very basic layer is just responses to stimili

    The brain is a collection of responses to stimuli that together create a kind of network that can respond to stimuli in complex ways

    Plants are a collection of cells that respond to stimuli

    So they very well will likely to be conscious on some level

      The above comment is made of glyphs arranged to convey meaning. The Code of Hammurabi is made of glyphs arranged to convey meaning.

      So the comment will very well be likely a significant contribution to human culture.

        i think statistically it would be insignificant based on the sheer amount of written material out there, so it should actually be a function of how long the work is, plus how long it’s been around for, the longer it is, and the longer its been around for, the more complete of a historical document we have.
