Don't do it, I will tell her.

Thirteen. Seven.

Eighteen.

And you?

Thank you.

That is our local beer.

Welcome to our faculty, Professor.

Thank you.

So,

how

was your travel?

Aren't you too dead -legged?

It's not so bad.

Should we speak in English instead?

I will try my best.

Thank you.

Good update.

Wow. That is a local speciality.

That's very kind of you.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Guten Morgen.

You have probably seen this model many times.

It represents the primary point of interest in your studies.

For some of you, this curiosity will last a lifetime.

Now tell me, what is it?

Actually, it's a piece of plastic.

painted with nice bright colors.

Anything we explore should be regarded in a similar way.

Research is nothing else but a series of attempts to find metaphors for the

phenomena of the world.

Please switch off your electronic devices.

I'm going to show you something.

I assume you are all focused now on this object.

The light is intense and all other visual input is shut down.

This is the default mode of the grown -up mind.

We call this spotlight consciousness.

We perceive the world around us in a succession of quick, focused moments.

We assumed until recently that a baby does the same, only on a much more

primitive level.

But our research proves different.

Pass it on, wherever you want.

Go ahead.

You see, in this softly moving haze, the borders between seen and unseen,

observed and unobserved, are fluid.

It is not about limitation.

It is not about separation.

It is about being part of some continuous entity.

This. What you are experiencing now is how we, I and some fellow researchers,

imagine the way babies perceive the world.

We call it lantern -like consciousness.

When we adults focus on something, the parts of our brain not directly involved

shut down.

So focusing in our case means eliminating.

Babies... When they come across something new, something interesting, do

the opposite.

They do not shut down.

They have very vivid activity in most parts of their brain.

They observe the new phenomena in its totality in every imaginable context.

Let's take a look at this example.

A 50 -year -old person and a six -month -old child. We gave both of them a task

that was completely new to them, that needed their undivided attention.

We compared their brain activity before and during the task, and we expected to

have similar changes.

But we couldn't have been more wrong.

You see?

It is a striking difference, isn't it?

Her brain waves are similar to that of people in deep meditation, or actually

under the influence of certain psychedelic substances.

We could say that babies are high all the time.

Well, this is the state that scientists hope to attain in their rare moments of

intuition.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good bye guys. See you next time.

Guten Morgen.

Guten Morgen.

Beschreiben Sie Linné's System.

Karl von Linné, schwedischer Botaniker, was born in 1707... wait, wait.

Wir werden hier zunächst die Fragen ask, with permission.

I ask for your forgiveness, Professor.

I have seen that you are your higher School education at a reputable one

Have graduated from Swiss school.

Were you at this institution possibly taught in Latin?

Yes, Professor.

On my final exam I received Excellent grade in Latin. You

seem to have a penchant for it to convey little more information,

than requested by you.

Am I seeing this correctly?

You certainly have one respectable financial background

given the fact that your family you for training in the

could send.

That's because it's currently, like the well-born professors

certainly known, none yet There are secondary schools in Germany

offered for school students. Currently?

What a real little one Women's rights activist we do it here

Well, if you, in addition to housework and handicraft, also taught Latin in

honorable school in Switzerland,

would you be so good and call us Carl von Linné's name in its

original form?

Carl Nils von Linné.

So, was that it?

Don't you have anything else to say about Linné?

Yes, I have.

However, I expect your questions to be on the subject.

You seem a little tense today, dear lady.

Or is it possibly your normal case?

Professor, I expect your questions to be on the subject.

Können Sie uns den Titel von Linné's zweiten Werk nennen?

Species of Plants

The complete title of Species Plants, Displaying Plants Rite

Acquaintances, Relating to Genres, Cum Different specific names

Selected Synonyms, Birth Logs, According to the Digested Sexual System.

Exactly Das is brilliant.

And what is the basic principle of the Linnaean system?

On what basis does the classification system of plants build up?

He was the first man of the plant according to his gender.

Based on that, he divided the species into Greek names, such as Monandria,

Diandria, Polyandria. You have drawn that.

You have prepared yourself extensively. It is a pleasure to encounter this kind

of precise knowledge.

Maybe you can do that previous Greek terms

Well, you're actually referring to the number of other plants with which

a plant during pre-planting has contact.

Can you elaborate something?

Well, Monandria takes place when the Plant... plant?

Well, the original Greek...

Terminus is actually... Yes?

Inquire about them properties of the genetic system,

Professor, or that of the Greek Etymology.

My son, would you be so good as to bring me me the book that is the basis of ours

conversation is?

So let's have a look.

I quote Linné Verbatim.

Once the bed is thus prepared, it's time for the groom

hugging his beloved bride and her each other surrenders to him.

Now, am I embarrassing you?

No.

Not?

Good.

Because we're on one here university and not at one

Coffee klatch. We don't have time to blush.

Let's try again.

Molandria.

A man and a woman in their wedding bed.

Dianria. Two men and a woman in Wedding bed.

Polianria.

Twenty men and more and one Woman in wedding bed.

In fact such a thing exists.

Quite an experience, no doubt.

But you know, the ancient Greeks... Well, okay.

What do you think of the linear one? Approach?

He has a consistent system create that when orienting yourself in

the world of plants is helpful.

Previously you could only do random Present connections.

Relationship structure. Listen to it exquisite choice of words, my dears

A future one sits before us scientist.

I am in no way making fun of you funny, kneeling lady, nothing is wrong

further.

For example, I have Johann Georg Siegesbeck, Linnaeus Professor, one

Authority. I quote.

20 or more men in the same bed can be hit with one woman, or if the beds of

prostitutes form a circle, so that married men can mate,

etc., etc.

It is hard to believe that God has established such a terrible infestation

the kingdom of plants.

Who could explain such an infestation system to the academic youth?

without causing public outrage.

What do you think, Mrs. Gnieges?

A future scientist must have a stance on this.

That was a long time ago.

Back then, this was a new idea, and new services were always against it.

And you say that you're against promiscuity, but you're not against it?

Perhaps you should practice it yourself.

I'm not a plant.

No, you're not.

You're more unattractive.

Well?

Well, how was it?

Which theme did you choose?

It's me.

I'm sorry, what?

The assistant.

You have delivered a brilliant performance this morning.

The old man is almost broken burst. Beware that his

One man idea is not that had the desired effect.

What one-man idea?

Oh.

You know, the professors were more like appalled that the university

This year women also have the opportunity an application.

Yes, that was fine with me too obviously.

Eight young women applied. So old Winterhalter did exactly that

this topic conscientiously for all eight prepared.

Every single one had to go through it. But what, if someone has chosen something else,

as the genetic theme?

Wait.

Show something.

Look.

But that's against the law.

Nobody knows about it.

Except the five gentlemen and me.

Well, now you know it too.

But we don't tell anyone.

And you don't either.

Why shouldn't I do that?

Because you have been accepted.

As the only one.

Consider yourself a bee queen.

You now have over 370 loyal subjects.

But why did he do that?

Mr. Winterhalter? Yes. A bitter old bag.

His wife shamelessly cheats on him all over the world, but he doesn't have it

Willpower to leave her. We have our own at the university

who she is currently with and with who she will be dating soon

It pretty much spans the entire male population.

It's an open secret.

Otherwise there won't be many left friend.

When he questioned the inner ladies, he asked them to take them out of the

Illustration to show the parts correspond to the times of well-being.

Thank you.

What are you doing there?

What does it look like?

This is my garden.

Why?

I have to carry out botanical experiments.

But it's not forbidden to just lie here, is it?

You can lie where you want. I'll share the garden later.

Oh, fine.

I don't plan on doing anything else.

You could help.

No, thanks.

Don't you want to become snobbish right away?

Oh, man.

Wie sind wir jetzt von Lass meinen Garten in Ruhe zu Warum hilfst du nicht

mitgekommen? War eine ganz einfache Frage.

Ja.

Ich mag keine Pflanzen.

Hm.

Schon klar.

Es wird einfach nur nett sein.

Ich komme halt vom Land.

Und?

After school, I could never do what I wanted.

I always had to take care of plants.

And when it was raining, the whole village ran out to harvest potatoes and

straw bundles and load hay.

That was enough for me.

And if it wasn't the plants, then it was the animals. Oh yes, animals. I don't

like animals either.

I'm fed up with it.

Especially with plants.

They should just leave me alone.

Then I'll leave them alone too.

grow as much as they want.

What kind of experiment are you? planning?

Do you want to breed something?

Do you see the geranium up there?

At the window?

That's mine.

A geranium?

Isn't it a bit stuffy?

I didn't have it because of her Coolness chosen, but because of it

Research.

She had to meet 18 criteria.

I want to find out what plants perceive. Whether they react in any way

just endure everything let.

Something like that.

I have something about new experiments read, I want to repeat it in order to

see if anything comes of it.

Well, they definitely have theirs own will.

So you want to find some kind of language?

Exactly.

This won't work.

You don't even know what I do I'm planning to, but you know it's not

No, I mean, we are like that different.

Look, you can chill as much as you want and still not see UV rays.

Your eyes are just not made for it.

Even if there is something like a signal, you don't have a device to

And that's the same as if there was no signal at all.

The idea is not. Signals can be converted.

That's true.

I mean, it would be nice if it worked.

If we could find out what...

When Klebler thinks before a horse mumps him.

But that's quite unlikely.

Has that never bothered you?

You're here.

Right between us.

Watching us and thinking all sorts of things about us.

Well, maybe you don't think, but still.

Besides, it's always totally unpleasant when plants are around.

As if you were walking through the apartment naked and suddenly realize

many people are staring at you from the sofa.

That sounds terrible.

cortex and this cortex is what separates us from animals and makes us the most

evolved species on the planet thank you

what

would you do if you want to connect with a being but have no common language

you are curious but you cannot ask questions if you are

a scientist you are lucky You can always plan an experiment.

To start with, I chose the Mimosa pudica.

It became famous for one reason.

It does this.

It is one of the few plants that allows us to experience plant reactions within

our human time frame.

It is purely incidental, but we are thrilled by it.

We say, yes, sure, it is intelligent because it is doing stuff.

So the mimosa pudica became the intelligent plant

simply because of this coincidence, because of the relative closeness of the

time frames we live in.

It turned out that the mimosa learns, remembers, evaluates her choices,

and makes decisions.

You are doing very well.

But wait, let me show you something.

So, do you see that?

Much easier.

Thank you.

And then you discover something, something incredible, that no one has

described to you before.

And then you have two options.

Either you press the plant, but then you destroy its spatial structure.

Or you drag it around in a pile of earth, and then it might survive a week

before it rots.

But with a few chemicals and these simple tools in your equipment, you can

real wonders.

Actually... I worked in the northern Amazon.

I've been to the Amazon.

Twice.

Next year I plan to go to Indonesia.

Isn't that unpleasant for you?

Inhale.

Exhale.

Touch your solar plexus.

Close your eyes.

Feel your breath, your whole being in connection with nature.

Let your eyes meditate.

Feel the earth under your feet.

And scream.

Just scream.

Open your arms.

Feel your soul touch the earth.

Take the solar plexus upwards.

Spread your arms.

Jump. Jump together.

Arms and legs together.

Chassé and jump.

Chassé and jump.

Very good.

Very good.

Let the joy spread all over your face.

Chassé and skip.

And breathe.

Raise your arms and breathe.

Find the impulse to stand up or stand up.

Let's go.

Guten Morgen, Sie fallen auf.

I would beat you so hard that it would be a pity for you to have been born

Give it to me.

What do you have there?

What is that for a bundle there?

Look here.

Our lacquer.

Here you see it.

Here.

My mother spun it for me and now the young lady falls on it in the forest.

Mrs. May, I... A real lady, me have to say.

And breed like dogs do.

That must be good, Hanna. Do it not such a fuss about it. It is

make a fuss.

She lives under our roof and runs out into the forest to spread your legs

do. Mrs. May, I have nothing to do read. What if the police take you

brings home?

What do I say then? What do I tell yours? Parents you entrusted to me?

What if your stomach swells?

Hanna, the children.

Yes, come on, get out.

Get out with you.

There's nothing to see here.

Yes, you too.

Get out.

That's the last thing I need.

That I look at you as such a behavior.

I can explain that this is a terrible misunderstanding.

I didn't do it in the park.

Tomorrow she's gone.

Now pack.

Tomorrow she's gone.

Hello?

Time, my brother.

You my customer, my dear.

It's all ok.

Yes.

Ah, that's not a lady's toy. Please, nehmen Sie Platz dort

im Sessel.

And please put one of your tender feet on the screen, if I may.

How did you become a photographer?

Me?

No one has ever asked me that.

And I will tell you the truth.

My lungs were too weak, so I was mutilated.

I discovered this work for myself.

I had the first camera in town.

I built it myself.

Sound.

What are you doing now?

Die Lampe anders platzieren.

Warum? Was macht der Unterschied? Das verstehe ich nur Fotografen. Ich denke

Not that you... I care really.

Well, if I had a lamp here next to the camera is

everything lit uniformly. You adored face then becomes so flat,

looks like, please use the metaphor apologize, as if you had it with you

Baker's shovel dented.

But you see, if, for example...

Kicking

you into the camera.

I'll take your place.

Can you see it?

Yes.

Do you see what a huge shadow throws at my nose?

Yes.

Or like this.

Like this.

Like this.

Do you see that?

Yes.

Watch out.

Like this.

Tell me, what would be the task of an assistant?

I work with babies until they start to speak. So as verbal feedback is

unavailable, the wildest guesses dominated the scientific field.

Well, to tell the truth, even today we can only guess.

It's a rather young research territory.

Sounds quite like mine.

Yes, right.

Actually, that's why I contacted you.

Thank you for your time.

My pleasure.

So, jumping back to my question, would you supervise me?

I know it is quite arrogant of me.

I'm a total amateur in your field, not even an amateur.

What I want to test is not so complex, just as you said in your talk. What if

they observe us the same way we observe them?

To try to create a back and forth between... Are you in Hong Kong?

Can you enter the university lab?

Oh, no.

You will need some equipment.

I'm stuck on an empty campus somewhere in Germany.

I see.

I'm also stuck but at home with a three -year -old.

I'm flipping out for not being able to work.

We had to close down everything.

I'm not even supposed to be here.

I sneaked in to check on an experiment.

Actually, I have to go to the greenhouse.

It is not fully clear to me what your goal is, but let's see.

Can I call you back on my phone?

Sure. Okay.

Good evening.

What are you doing here?

My dear wife.

At this time of day.

I'm busy.

What do you

want?

I told him.

I'll take the assistant post.

Dear little lady, did you really think that we... How

could I ever hire you as an assistant?

I thought you were joking. I'm not joking. Why should I joke?

We have clearly made an agreement.

What a completely crazy idea.

You have to think about it.

Go home now.

It's already late.

When you work on a sensitive area, you get deep air

and hold it as long as you work on a picture.

Mm -hmm.

Or slender, a fleshy face.

With men, the trick is to remove a few lip stains without making the face too

soft.

It's not a child's kiss.

I always say that when I'm in a relationship.

Thank you.

Hello. Hello. Na?

Na.

What are you doing?

Reading.

Yes.

Good.

Then we'll see each other later.

At home.

Well? How's it going with him?

Excellent. I'm almost done.

Very good.

It's a widespread mistake, isn't it, Mrs. Grethe, that photography depicts

reality.

Moreover, it's an excellent instrument to explore your fragile being.

This instrument here requires care, Mrs. Grethe.

And care, that means, especially with a camera, that you use it.

She gets broken once.

I would ask you to look into it to take care of.

Look, up here, up here, open You.

Can you see it?

So.

Adjust the focus.

Hello. Hello.

I've already opened the water.

The filters are up there.

Where? Right.

Right.

Further right.

Thanks. How many spoons?

So, six.

a review.

And do you get ahead with the planting thing?

Yes.

Why?

I found something that might help you.

Wait, I'll read it to you.

Everything is a leaf, and through this simplicity, the greatest multiplicity...

Goethe, don't cut it, Hannes.

I want to do something completely new.

It has nothing to do with an 18th century poet.

Yes, sure.

Thu

you

want to see my geranium?

My project.

I find it beautiful.

Mmm.

But.

You talked about Goethe.

Yes.

Don't touch. This is the sensor.

And what does the device do then?

Basically converts the reaction into one Language that we...

I think

the senses work properly now.

Thank you for the advice.

I'm trying to establish an elementary set of references, two sets of patterns

referring to a similar experience.

Why not?

As long as you accept that the results will be vague in scientific terms.

But you know that.

Of course.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Hey guys!

What's this?

Why not?

No, thank you.

I heard you.

But why not?

Calm down. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to.

So, does your no have ideological reasons?

You can't leave it, can you?

Relax.

I just want you to be free.

Don't worry about what mom and dad would think if you... You're just like our

village priest.

What? You think the Giants are cool?

And our priest thinks the same about Jesus.

Amen.

That was good. I don't want to do it again.

Do it.

Do it, Alexander.

Ask questions.

Do you want another cut?

Sure, go ahead.

thank you you're welcome

please

sleep with me

Do you feel like it?

I mean, if you feel like it, it would be fine for me.

Wait a minute.

You don't find me attractive.

No. Yes, yes.

I... Are you still a young woman?

What are you talking about?

It's not true.

No.

I just heard that you...

No!

Will you give me another potato?

Look,

that's our ginkgo.

Well, it's not as majestic as yours.

This is a boy.

Probably your one is a male as well.

Why do you think so?

It is not usual to plant females in gardens too close to people.

Why is that?

They have a very unpleasant smell.

During autumn, when the fruits are ripe, they stink or vomit.

Wow.

Interesting.

Check it out.

Good idea.

I always wonder how they cope with solitude. You know, when I see a

garden, I see a bunch of lonely souls.

No chance for a social life.

When they bond with other species, whoever they find in their vicinity?

Not really.

They are probably bored to death or depressed.

You work in such a place?

Yes.

I'm a bad, bad person.

Ay,

pobre de mi alma Que no encuentra la calma Solo en tu mirar

But don't touch her.

And just come in here to feed her.

Yes, as if I were... Yes,

I'm coming.

Just a little bit every four days.

Is that enough?

You're more of an expert than me.

I don't think she's used to it.

She's supposed to survive, but she doesn't like you.

It's elementary for the project that she only has a connection to me.

Okay. The machine works by itself. You can just start it.

Here you see your middle finger.

And then you put it in here.

Always with a different color.

Okay, and what color means what?

Red is really good and blue not so.

The rest is explained, I think, by yourself.

Oh, don't smoke.

And no other people in my room.

Oh, not when the sun is directly shining on it.

Because otherwise the leaves will burn with the water. You can just check if

it's a little dry.

You can close it. Okay.

No.

That's it.

Okay.

Have fun.

Thank you.

Best. Come back home.

Alle vier Tage.

Alle vier Tage, Garten jeden Tag. Verstanden. Ach man, jetzt lassen wir

hier ganz allein.

Schon gut.

Tschüss. Ciao.

Wir wollen los, komm.

Komm mal.

Viel Spaß.

Dir auch.

It is female.

Bold choice.

So, it is not that lonely.

There must be male ones in the garden.

No, actually not.

This is the only ginkgo in the whole garden.

I checked.

Weird.

Poor thing.

I can send over some sperm.

Sperm? Yeah. They are living fossils.

Gymno -sperms. But you know that.

Not really.

They have an archaic way of having sex.

highly impractical, actually.

Hello.

Lonely?

As a matter of fact, yes.

So the dean has received an official complaint, and I just quote, Professor

Wong, exhibiting disturbing behavior, in the future he should abstain from...

Maybe I don't need to read the whole text to you.

Sorry, this is so embarrassing for me to disturb you with a stupid complaint.

Sorry, right?

I'm so sorry.

Just fed up with staying home all the time.

So where were we?

Yes, so I'm searching for comparable experiences.

The first was the rain for her and the shower for me.

Then you should have been drinking under the shower.

Oh,

let me show you someone.

He's not very fond of me.

I disturb his kingdom.

No. I'm sorry, but you put me in an awkward situation.

The research was put on hold anyway, right?

I mean the research that I was hired to assist you with, not this.

I hope you understand.

Okay. Okay.

Come on, let's go. Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go. Come on, let's go. Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go. Come on, let's go.

Du musst los.

Kapierst du, was ein Fit -In ist?

No shimmer?

I'm telling you, that means one sits.

We're not leaving until you do have accepted our request,

correct? Yes.

It is important.

What's so important at 4 o'clock? in the morning?

Will you tell me that?

I have to water the garden.

Before sunrise.

Pouring coffee?

What do you mean?

What kind of nonsense is that? Forget it, it's not that important. I have to go

now. Why do you have to pour the garden exactly before sunrise?

Do you have the least beer at home?

Wait a minute.

Man, wait!

Where are we actually going today?

How close?

We have to go there!

Holschweiner!

Handel! Come on, leave him alone.

Eppler, one more. Eppler.

Hello.

Say something.

Nothing.

What are you doing here?

I'll tell you what you're doing.

What are you doing, man?

Hannes! I'm here.

Please.

Hey!

I'll call the fire station!

Man, get out of here!

Get out!

Get out of here!

Good evening.

Hey, come on, celebrate with us.

No. Don't worry, it tastes sweet.

No, thank you. It tastes like plum.

No, thank you. It's for me.

Well, if that wasn't a surprise.

I would like to take part in the expedition.

I'm a well -trained photographer.

I could be useful to you.

Is that so?

Sit down.

I just arrived and I... Oh, come on.

Take a seat.

Don't worry.

Dennis is even more embarrassing than you.

Fotografen also? Ja.

Ausgebildet? Mhm.

If you want to know,

I can explain it to you.
