I'm very much looking forward to reading this! Not only is it about plants, I also quite enjoy your writing style. Curious what non-plant-people will get out of it though, unless I've missed some introduction

Thanks! I'll add the links to the previous discussions of kin vs. group selection on LW. That is the introduction I am building on. Forgot to do it being too excited:)

(There's no such thing as non-plant-people, they just need to come to terms with it, it can be rough, waking up to the plant-peopleness for the first time. We ought to be gentle...)

One time I was walking around campus carrying a fern and a kid asked what type of flower it was. I stifled my laughter. Does that count as being gentle?

I meant gentle enough to take over the world...
