Excellent talk. Anyone who has experience of wild animals in all their forms knows through observation that every type of organism deserves respect for its sentience. Its clearly difficult for most hominid apes to see how obvious that is. Thanks and viva the crabs
Heartbreaking to think now in 2024 we're moving away from the idea of why not error on the side side of caution and protect these living things from pain and instead are opening up a factory farm for octopus
I think it's sentients and not sapiens that matters unless you plan on storing them for long-term in a bad environment like a factory farm didn't then sentience comes into play, I think. Instakill with a decent living environment would be a start
We are all - every living creature is conscious even rocks. Buddhism and many ancient cultures particularly Native Americans and Inuits have always known this. Exquisite discussion that needs a forum. Octopi are or should be endangered and not eaten
Well, at least consciousness does not imply sentience: presumably, one can be conscious without having any positive or negative valence, ie without being sentient. (To note, I do think most animals with nervous systems are most likely sentient and can suffer tremendously.)
This isn't a scientific question. It would require having access to the subjective experience of the being in question and that isn't science. I find the title of this channel ironic.
This is very much a scientific question. There is a plethora of scientific research and literature on measuring subjective experience through objective methods, such as cognitive bias and affective state.

Very important conversation and perspective thanks a lot
We acknowledge animal sentience every day by talking about their intelligence and behavior

Philosophy make us more humans and light the way to wisdom
Great video & a perspective that needs to be much more widespread
I think all animals, even bugs are conscious in a way. Not all in the same way, not all to the same degree.
Wow Awesome Video..... I was waiting for it Keep it up. Just amazing...
Excellent
Deep ❤

Im guessing yes they can feel pain. Pleasure i think is trickier.
IF IT HAS A BRAIN IT FEELS PAIN.
ridiculous vacuous assertion. a flatworm's brain consists of 302 neurons. there is zero possibility of consciousness in such a simple system.

Non animals are not concious
Is the Pope catholic?
Everything has consciousness.....it's all just spheres of energy.
