Today I started reading Dean Radin's book Real Magic. The preface, supposed to be an editorial written in the year 2915, portrays a future in which the Statue of Liberty has been retroactively transformed into a "large green plant":
We now know that the universe is far more flexible than our ancestors could have believed, but we continue to face a troubling conundrum. Rebellious youth persist in carelessly littering the mindscape with seditious thoughtforms. Some even warn that these new forms of graffiti may be altering history. An example of that concern involves the famous statue on Liberty Island in New York harbor. There are clues in the chronological record suggesting that our much-beloved statue, the Philodendron of Freedom, was once a large green woman, not the large green plant we've prized for centuries. That we would have honored a statue of a green woman seems preposterous, but if history is being altered, we'd never know for sure.
Hours later, I checked /pol/ and found a thread beginning with this image:
A tree is a large green plant. A philodendron is an herbaceous plant, but it is etymologically a "tree" (Greek dendron).
