See, I never said that fish does not have feelings or that fish have feelings. I think it is meaningless.<p>&quot;Feelings&quot; is an abstraction that makes it easier to explain human behaviour. With fish, asking questions like &quot;does it have feelings&quot;, &quot;does it have free will&quot;, &quot;is it conscious&quot; etc. is just the same as asking the same questions about machines: it does not help you to make any decisions about how to interact with it, so it does not matter.
