Lobsters don't thrash around in the pot in the dramatic fashion that he describes. Some death throes, but not the fight for its life that he describes. Crabs sometimes do. And no one who knows what they're doing is closing the pot back on the lobster to avoid seeing it die- putting the lid on quick brings the water back to a boil, killing the lobster more quickly. There are too many instances of Wallace passing off histrionics or even complete bullshit as journalistic wisdom for him to ever be taken truly seriously as a writer.

Lobsters don't have complex enough nervous systems to feel pain.

If something can react to damaging stimulus in a way that is obvious to us that it's trying to get away from it, that should be considered as a form of pain. It might not be the same pain and suffering that humans experience, but that doesn't mean there's no discomfort for it and it's okay to just do whatever. Even for plants, they react to damaging stimulus in different ways, so you shouldn't just damage plants for no reason.
>inb4 getting called a hippy faggot because i say you shouldn't just damage life for no reason and should minimize any potential harm
Luke Peterson

That delves more into philosophy than biology, and is leagues away from sapient, let alone sentient, response.
