Pyrophytes

The most direct, ironic, and witty thought I've had in a long time. I wondered who uses fire in their life cycle besides humans. Plants. Pyrophytes. I simply googled it after formulating the question. So, this is a biochemical tactic implemented not just by the microscopic ganglion of an ant, but by creatures without a nervous system at all. It's not surprising that humans have erected enormous cognitive blobs with mythological plugs, justifying strategies and technologies characteristic of creatures without a brain at all. We don't need one either. Incidentally, technology only confirms this. Technology is a rigid, monotonous, universal ritual created by a single genius or hero, like Simmelweis, who invented handwashing for doctors. And hundreds of millions of doctors subsequently had this drilled into them to the point of conditioned reflex. They didn't discover it themselves. That's why mythological propaganda focuses on the discovery itself, rather than on the fact that one person discovered it and then stupidly copied it and is used by a billion, which seems to suggest that people with real intelligence, capable of finding solutions in situations of uncertainty and ambiguity, are only a handful, and that all the other plants are riding on their backs.
