Lin argues that one shouldn't think of plants as lacking wisdom. In fact, they are quite intelligent and carry memories of the environment in their genes. After propagating for a number of generations, they produce special characteristics that better suit them to the local ecology and climate.
林義隆指出，別以為植物沒有智慧，其實它們相當聰明，會將生活環境記憶在種子的基因裡，繁衍數代後，便能發展出適合當地生態與風土氣候的特性。
