I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but with the 2D entity, there is literally "no one home" - there is no subjective experience when there is no reflective subject. The subject and object are one in the same - the pattern that the 2D mind holds is oriented towards fulfilling a program of growth and reproduction. I think a lot of these anthropomorphic attributions with regards to how such plants and animals process sensation are grossly misplaced. I guess it is unfathomable that life could exist which is not self-aware, but all of 2D falls into this category.
Also, killing off the higher, more socially capable, 2D life forms such as apes (due to deforestation and mining) or dolphins (fishing/pollution) and increasing the pet experience instead is likely the cause of a lot of newcomer 3D confusion here.
