is what happens to us not in fact a "get out of here" signal to us? what makes you think a fishes subjective experience of pain is any more pleasant than your own?

Our pain isn't a "get out of here" signal, it's a "you've been hurt" signal. Fish don't have a reason to suffer. We do, because we're social creatures.
