🌪️ Why you should assume that even the simplest animals are conscious

"Interesting read! While I respect the complexity of consciousness, I lean libertarian in thinking that we should avoid overregulating or overinterpreting such mysteries. Let nature reveal its truths freely."

"Interesting, but isn’t this just projecting human-like traits onto creatures with vastly different nervous systems? Where’s the hard evidence, not just speculation? 🤔"

"Wow, what a radical idea: treating all beings with respect"

"While consciousness is fascinating, let’s not rush to regulate based on unproven assumptions. Nature’s mysteries deserve humility, not hasty policy. 🌿"
