It sets out a framework for levels of consciousness and implies that plants are way below that threshold.
Even if we go outside mainstream scientific understanding and near universal intuition and accept plants as conscious, this paper (and others if you did some cursory research on a subject you seem to care so deeply about) would still point to plants being considered less conscious than animals.
My job isn’t too prove your “maybe” or validate your imaginary thinking. I owe you no such research. Indicating as if i had any such obligation is just more emotional manipulation.
I refuse to be moved by any such manipulation.
And that’s the problem I have with the current idea of vegan behaviors .
Sure, it’s all Ok to act in absolutes around consciousness while you eat plants. Every other sector of science is operating in doubts until your eating plants. You can’t have it both ways. That is absolute bullshit.

“implies”
You said so yourself.

So you have no idea how scientific evidence works.
Neither do you.
In simple terms you can understand: I do not agree on their definition of consciousness.
The paper became irrelevant as a point for us to agree on anything after that.
Want to disagree on fairy tales of sky daddies? It would be just as concrete at this point.
