Plants, which are basically molecular rube goldberg machines that somehow grow and have a vascular system

Thinking about stuff. Did you ever think how nice it is that you have the ability to think about anything? And plan things, and imagine possibilities? It's amazing that we can do it so easily and most animals can't really do it at all.
