"It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question. The other party to the comparison knows both sides."

- John Stuart Mill

Can anyone really know what it's like to be a pig?

- Thomas Nagle paraphrased :)

Lots of people seem to be perfectly placed to know this. Much easier than knowing what it's like to be an eagle, for instance.
