JoA🔸 comments on Why I Think All The Species Of Significantly Debated Consciousness Are Conscious And Suffer Intensely

[JoA🔸]

I suspect that all of the species that are currently of significantly debated consciousness—call them swing state species—are conscious. This would include crabs, lobsters, fish, and most insects, but it wouldn’t include oysters or AI. There’s fairly widespread agreement that such beings aren’t conscious.

Since he states here (and on another occasion in the article) that oysters aren’t conscious, he most likely believes that it’s not morally wrong to eat oysters (and he probably also includes mussels and other bivalves in this category).

Thank you. I missed that in my skim.
