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

    My guess is that awareness plays into it through humans’ perceptions of time. We can both anticipate and recollect pleasurable/painful experiences in ways fish probably can’t. We can use our imaginations to torture ourselves, or mentally escape painful circumstances.

    How this balances out in terms of intensity? Idk lmao
