I think it could be shared between nerve cells, I'm saying it's not shared with us. We are a political partition of a living organism. The experiences which get kicked up to us are heavily filtered, but that filtering can be modified. Everything that we know about how the nervous system functions is based upon our assumptions that they are not feeling anything, and that feeling is metaphysically manifested at some point, somehow as an 'interpretation' or 'emergent property'. My view is that since we know for a fact that we would not be able to detect subjectivity outside of ourselves, and we know for a fact that we have subjectivity, and that our nervous system is made of neurons, and that we feel through our nervous system, there is absolutely no reason to presume that the feelings we experience do not originate from the feelings of neurons themselves, and not only through neurological biochemistry. The biochemistry reflects the feelings, sure, but they operate in completely different ways. The feelings have much more latitude in how they are propagated and stored.
