Are plants conscious? They can remember things for 30 days, have up to 20 senses, and can even be knocked out by anesthetics. 🌿 Michael Pollan dives into the controversial theory. What has been lost when a plant with observable behaviors is not responding under anesthetics? In humans, we would say consciousness.

In conversation with neuroscientist Christof Koch, Michael Pollan shared a thought-provoking metaphor: psychedelics “smudge the windshield” of everyday perception, forcing us to notice the invisible lens through which we experience the world. 📍 Recorded live at Zellerbach Hall, UC Berkeley on October 13, 2026 🔗 Watch the full conversation at the link in @scipsychedelics bio. #MichaelPollan #Consciousness #PsychedelicsResearch #Neuroscience #UCBerkeley 30 Oct 2026

The 20th anniversary edition of The Omnivore's Dilemma by @michael.pollan is on sale today! Featuring a new preface by the author.⁠ ⁠ Michael says, "The Omnivore's Dilemma has had a much bigger impact than I could possibly have imagined, helping to galvanize a movement to reform our food system. I would have hoped the book would have fallen out of date by now, but alas, the system it described—an agriculture based on vast chemical-intensive monocultures of corn; food animals raised in factory farms; a diet of processed food that is undermining our health—is still very much with us. On the other hand, so are the pleasures of turning nature into the culture of a shared meal."⁠ ⁠ Available now from your favorite bookseller. 01 Jan 1970

In this week’s special live episode of Science of Perception Box, journalist and bestselling author Michael Pollan explains how a psychedelic experience “smudged the windshield” of his consciousness and started the search behind his new book, A World Appears. He explains the difference between sentience and consciousness and shares some surprising plant research: corn that solves mazes, plants that recognize their relatives, and anesthetics that knock out a Venus flytrap.

Comment COMFORT & I’ll DM you a link to the latest Huberman Lab podcast episode with Michael Pollan What Humans, Animals & Plants Tell Us About Consciousness | Michael Pollan Michael Pollan is a renowned author, journalist and professor at UC Berkeley. He is best known for his influential works on how humans and plants have shaped each other at the level of food, medicine, health, and culture. In this episode we discuss consciousness—what it is and how the recognition between our self vs others contributes to— but also can impair, certain aspects of conscious experience. We discuss plant medicines, the microbiome, caffeine, and how the unconscious dialogue between our body and brain impacts our thoughts and feelings. Few if any humans alive, have such an incredibly rich perspective on the relationship between plants, animals, and humans and what it is to be human. Including human consciousness. I learned it ton from this conversation with Michael and I am certain you will too. Comment COMFORT and I’ll send you a direct message with a link to the episode. Meanwhile, if you have any questions or comments or topics or guests, you would like me to consider for the podcast, please put that in the comments section below.
