True, it’s impossible to prove a negative. But we can all very easily see that if you kick a dog, it hurts, it gets scared, it learns to avoid you. If you kick a tree, it doesn’t. Does it mean it doesn’t suffer? I can’t prove it, but does it definitely mean that the dog is suffering? Yes, I can prove that.
… it doesn’t behave in a way that you interpret as being scared or hurt, and of course trees can’t avoid you. but you don’t know the experience of being a tree.
you can’t prove this.
