Lol, are you not capable of comprehending what he said? Plants do not have the intelligence to cognize such abstract ideas as a soul.
He said the idea of a soul is resulted from a not fully realized awareness, rather than a complete lack of awareness.
I don’t think petunias believe in souls. But Anom claimed that belief in a souls is the result of some level of self awareness. He left intelligence completely out of the equation.
That’s not what he said. He said that our self awareness itself is not fully aware, not that we aren’t. This means that our self awareness must also be self aware, which leads me to conclude that that self awareness must also be self aware, and so on. Technically, this sort of statement is known as ‘gibberish’.
