We don’t know, in the same way that we don’t know that there is no God… It’s far more likely than not that they do experience things.

I don't think this is a fair statement. I also happen to believe that there are no gods and that most animals have subjective experiences in some sense similar to our own (while I also believe that atoms and rocks don't), but I don't really think there is a meaningful probability you can associate with either position.

That they don’t experience anything would be a more shocking revelation to almost everyone, I think.
