+T. McKenna, Archaic Revival (1991, book), p 219-225\\
+° Central idea: plants as inspirational model for solving global problems. Phytomimicry in industry, politics, personal life.\\
+° According to McKenna, the "lessons" of plants are:\\
+- societal/politics: feminization of culture\\
+- personal: inwardness, cooperation (symbiosis)\\
+- ecology: phytoremediation, biodiversity\\
+- industry: recycling, H2-economy, photovoltaic, nanotech\\
+° McKenna hopes a change of paradigm. Idea of the "rebirth of the [vegetal] Goddess". Spiritual or symbolic idea of the mother-earth, Gaia, etc.\\
+° Suggests that the use of psychedelic plants opens channels of direct communication with this Gaia.\\
+° McKenna speaks about "planetary purpose". Intentionality. (link to be made with Naturalism and Intelligent Design)\\

 ° Think of experiment to test some pseudo-scientific claims (plants grow faster if you speak to them). Those experiments are not meant to be realized.\\
