Do you have any sense of exactly how unlikely it is that bivalves suffer?
Brian Tomasik wrote this analysis of bivalve suffering. I think it offers some good reasons not to conclude that it’s super unlikely.
It might be that how much weight/likelihood to place on bivalve suffering is ultimately quite subjective though (e.g., I think I would place more weight on it than as expressed in the article because of different intuitions about how much different processes matter as evidence of suffering).
