(Sounds like someone messed up their meds dosage. Be that as it may…)
Not in the way we'd consider "thinking". Plants can "communicate" to each other, and sometimes to us, but definitely not like we do. We don't walk through a forest and literally hear one tree say to another, "Hey bro, check out that cute fir over there”. Of course, when no one’s around who knows what sounds they may make. However, we can sometimes tell if a plant is thirsty, as it may be wilted (its way of communicating to us that we haven’t watered it since April). I believe plants can even feel "pain" (again, not like we do). And, despite what it may seem like sometimes, I don’t think plants actually commit suicide. (“What’s the use. I'm stuck in the same old boring place, and when I try to reach out to someone, they just cut me off”).
Now, we consider things like plants to be "alive" because they grow, reproduce, and die. Whereas things like a rock simply "is". Smashing a bolder into pieces of gravel is neither growth nor death. It’s just in a different form (like changing a dollar bill for 4 quarters). For centuries, people have been keeping gold bars together but they have yet to reproduce. As for stars, planets and other celestial things, we may never know if they think, for “in space, no one can hear you scream”.
Lol. My wife is an avid plant-talker (plant-whisperer, perhaps?); she’s been doing it for years and her flowers and houseplants and gardens truly seem to thrive. I’m not saying definitely that they thrive because of being talked to or largely because of it, but I neither discount the possibility that it has positives associated with it.
