There are millions of fish here. Each one is a singular conscious entity. You could just have easily been one of these fish- in fact, you probably have a better chance of being born one of these fish, or an insect in a swarm consisting of millions, than you do of being born a human.
Is it so hard to imagine that each of these fish might be experiencing something, no matter how insignificant it may be?
Please tell me I'm not the only person who thinks of this stuff.
I really wonder what it's like to be a fish like this in a great shoal. I hope there are advanced simulations one day where I can hook my brain up to a machine and become a fish for a little while.

Millions is really stretching it m8. Wanna know what it's like being one of those fish? Living in constant fear of being eaten.
>you could just have easily
If you say so, Descartes. Just keep being yourself and your body, bro.

I like this pseudophilosophic ruse so much.
You became (you) years after you born.

when VR headsets start being waterproof, you could just load up some fish sim and go for a swim in a pool or something

Fear, mostly. If you want to make it more relatable, they behave a lot like a velcro dog with extreme separation anxiety.
I'd like to know more about all the data their brain processes from their lateral line, to feel that must be quite the experience.
