@KatS That's pretty much what I mean.
I think there's a grain of truth in not assuming other animals experience things just like us. But "exactly like us" and "nothing like us" is a false binary.
We have all evolved to navigate the same world, sometimes the same niches, and we tend to broadly have the organs with the same functions, not to speak of the same DNA. It's highly unlikely that the "nothing like us" end of the spectrum is accurate.
