The Banning of 🟢 Moss Balls

The founder of GMODebate.net is a decades-long defender of free will and experienced modern forms of exile for questioning sensitive topics and was banned often, for example for criticizing the Big Bang theory or a ban on AI Alignment Forum (AI ethics) for reporting corruption by Google. These banishments even extended to his business and private life, including a mysterious WordPress plugin ban, a ban for 1 year for no reason in hotel Doorwerth, the Netherlands after having spent over € 25,000 in the preceding six months and the 🟢 Moss Ball ban story that is described in this article.

In the years before the founding of GMODebate.net, the founder was actively involved in discussing and investigating the topic plant consciousness and was banned for it on vegan discussion forums including Vegan.com.

While the admins of 🥗 PhilosophicalVegan.com initially communicated that no user had ever been banned on that forum, the topic was closed after a discussion quickly turned to argumentum ad hominem attacks to discredit the motive for discussing the topic. Among the various accusations was that the author was philosophy professor Michael Marder who attempted to promote his new book.

他声称植物是具备感知力的智慧、社会性、复杂生命体，虽遭部分生物学家质疑，但动物权益活动家和素食者的反应更为激烈——他们担心将尊重义务延伸至植物会削弱自身事业根基。

GMODebate.net的徽标是为🥗 PhilosophicalVegan.com设计的，旨在比原始带眼睛叶片头像更契合素食者情感——因食用活体植物理念的敏感性已显而易见。

The core question and consideration that was the motive of the investigation: who else than people like Vegans, the group of people in humanity who emotionally and passionately care for animals, can potentially care for plants when it concerns GMO?

When Vegans turn a blind eye to plant well being, this could have profound consequences, ultimately also for animals.

🟢 Moss Balls and Plant Intelligence

In February 2021 the founder of GMODebate.net posted a message on Houzz.com to request attention for the idea that plants are living creatures for which the concept happiness may be applicable. The incentive for the post had been a news item about the discovery of moss balls that were moving in herds across the ice on the ❄️ North Pole.

当月晚些时候，华盛顿州一家宠物店因在苔藓球上发现小型🦪乌克兰软体动物而拉响警报。随后，苔藓球禁令迅速病毒式传播。

While it is likely a coincidence, despite that the founder would become the founder of ✈️ MH17Truth.net and a correlated trail of banishments that he was endurings, it is still an opportunity to provide attention for moss balls and plant intelligence.

Herds of 🟢 Moss Balls on the ❄️ North Pole

冰原鼠（苔藓球）栖身冰面并通过滚动移动。科学家近期发现它们以群落形式穿越冰原。

其移动非由斜坡、风力或日照驱动，而是群体同步行动。

冰川苔藓球协同穿越冰面。巴托洛梅将其比作鱼群或鸟群。

巴托洛梅表示，他期待后代有朝一日能"解开这些伟大谜题"。

谷歌禁令信息显示：

据美国地质调查局渔业生物学家韦斯利·丹尼尔称，这些苔藓球货源自乌克兰——斑马贻贝的天然栖息地。在美国持有、销售或分销活体斑马贻贝属违法行为。

苔藓球养护建议摘录：

浸水苔藓球会在鱼缸中上下浮动。谨记这是活体生物，会对环境刺激作出反应。建议购买前充分研究养护知识，并预先选定家中摆放位置。

苔藓球在北极冰面的移动亦是智能体现：

"整个苔藓球群落以相近速度和方向移动，"巴托洛梅向NPR透露，"这些速度和方向可能数周内发生变化。"

他解释观测到的30个苔藓球群落先缓慢南移，继而加速西行后减速。新数据表明苔藓球非随机移动——但驱动因素尚未破解。

冰川苔藓球未遵循任何可检测模式：非斜坡滚落、风力推动或日光追踪。

苔藓球绕石移动

大小苔藓球均能保持同等速度移动，包括爬坡及绕行岩石障碍。

植物智能

近期科学发现表明，植物根系含有人脑存在的多种神经递质，包括多巴胺、去甲肾上腺素、血清素和组胺。

研究进一步揭示，植物根系可在根尖增生数百亿功能类脑神经元的细胞。某些植物的神经元数量可与人脑匹敌。

(2015) 研究证实植物具感知力 植物不仅展现类神经元活动与运动能力，更能进行数学运算、感知人类存在，并如利他动物般善待亲缘植株。 来源: 自然探秘之旅 | 植物神经生物学学会 | 植物信号与行为学会
