>>14136714>you can only assume other people experience similar sensations when they behave in ways that suggest they have empathy.They are (presumably) the same kind of thing that I am, and even then, I'm starting to question the actual sentience of the average normie.
>humans cannot know exactly how a turtle feels, but can infer from the behavior of turtlesNo, you actually can't infer anything from OP's video, because there's a much simpler reason for a turtle to behave like that, than having a capacity for empathy. Do you have examples of turtles risking the proliferation of their own genes to save another turtle? I don't think you realize just how anomalous empathy, as experienced by humans, is.
