  • even for a mollusk

    Yeah LMAO no.

    Mollusks are basically meat plants, they have barely a nervous system to speak of.

    Also having eyes and a face has nothing to do with brain activity or neural capacity to process what you’d call an “inner life.”

    A mannequin has eyes and a face, a simulacrum of something need not share anything with it other than appearance.

    You can absolutely extend this kind of empathy to mammals and primates as we know they have the brain structures we have observed to be necessary to have certain emotions, but it’s not because of this asinine notion that if they look similar to us they have similar properties.
