I suspect it would need branch based root-ing, sorry, routing, and have to be careful the pruning algorithm on the leaves was not too aggressive. Packet loss due to squirrels also an issue!

I'm starting to think one of the trees was equipped with a Markov chain sentence generator that scanned a lot of philosophy papers and just spit out a lot of pretentious gibberish. To philosophers though, I'm not sure it would matter because nobody could tell the difference anyway.

#13I wish a boy would write me a love letter! It's awesome that trees now get get more love than many women in NYC but if I had the chance I would also write to my favorite tree in Central Park
"For how could I fall in love with a Moon, When having set my sight on the Sun first."
Dugg into every manuscript written,
Every prose ever composed,
Yet I cannot find an instance of men describing.
Describing the sentiment in my heart when I think of you, YourLocalCousin.
And every moment, that is.
I am now sadly forced to believe,
"Man" has never felt it.
Ineffable, it is.
Elyvate is the name I give it.
My pen is my witness and will testify
That I am left with only one desire
That is: in your heart to Reside"
A boy

Seems you gotta find it through this map: http://melbourneurbanforestvisual.com.au/
Cool, although disappointingly the trees don't actually seem to have their own email addresses. I clicked on one and the address was "melbourneurbanforest@melbourne.vic.gov.au" and the email subject had the tree id "Information about a London Plane, Tree ID 1024530"
yeah man, it's like being a teenager in the last century all over again, when you would call someone's house and have to speak to their parent or whoever picks up first!
It's 2015. Can't I just email a tree!

Many modern laws were influenced by philosophers. While the language of computer scientists and philosophers may appear to be gibberish, they often influence laws with side effects on humans who may not understand the source jargon. When the laws for Internet of Things (including but not limited to huggable trees) are written, hopefully there will be diverse philosophies at the table, including classics like liberty, speech and privacy.

#16Dear Mr/Mrs Birch. Please STOP this pollen nonsense immediately.
I suppose 'Dear Mr and Mrs Birch' since they have both male and female flowers?

#17We should do this in Seattle. There are lots of great trees here that I wish I could write to.

It's "Today nothing happened" if you're curious.

Are you seriously claiming those philosophies are on a level with the gibberish you quoted, which may as well have come from Sokal?

Are you quoting these for comedic value?
