Since we have a higher state of awareness as humans, might we also have more intense experiences of pain / pleasure / emotions?

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

  • Ive heard ppl say stuff like "oh that animal doesnt feel pain it's not intelligent" but idk i always just assume the animal has feeling and could be hurt.. so thats why i havent been able to kill bugs. (Bc you can see their eyes and stuff! Theyre alive and everything.)

    • But they have less nerves and brains so shouldn't they be a lot LESS aware? Aren't there more nerves in my finger than most bugs?
