So when assessing if an animal lives a good life we should not only consider the circumstances but how they experience it.
What ultimately matters for me is just the subjetive experience of the animals. I only care about the circumstances because they inform the subjective experiences.
So I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that most insects are happier than most humans.
Me neither. However, there are good arguments for wild invertebrates having not only positive, but also negative lives.
