If trees could speed up their activity a thousand-fold, they might be as smart as us.

I know, definitely not, but it's a thought I amuse myself with.

Even more amusing to consider directional of change.

If we assume trees are smarter than us, and speeding it up 1000 times brought them down to our level...

and conversely, if we could learn to think slower, would we be smarter?
