Like, do we feel more pain than a fish would? More euphoria than mice could feel?

    Why do you assume we have a higher state of awareness? I would start by defining what you mean there because it’s relative. Elephants are very aware, dolphins have fucking sonar, birds can feel the magnetic fields of the earth. Humans tend to think how they experience the world and reality is a “higher state” but that is a false assumption, imo.

      I know I am aware of my awareness… I’m not entirely convinced elephants and dolphin are, not saying they aren’t either…

      By asking “why”, you have proven the basis of my assumption.

      We barely understand how other humans feel. I’d venture to say it’s pretty profound to really make that connection. Usually it’s in retrospect when you can see how someone really felt or what they meant in a moment. Then we’re talking about other animals? Who fucking knows man.
