⁦@sentientism⁩ ⁦@drcrystalheath⁩ Such an important conversation; thank you! The pernicious nature of the #veterinary industry & its cruelty to #sentient beings is staggering; much change is needed! #goVegan #sentientism #compassion #evolve https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sentientism/id1540408008?i=1000597432257

Animal agriculture's massive resource demands are a driving force of #colonisation.

And its "animalisation" enables oppression of out-group human & non-human animals.

I'm so glad we're ending it.

Fascinating thanks @DrCoreyLeeWrenn @KyleJohannsen2

Check out my latest effort to unpack nonhuman rights (and the arguments against them). https://twitter.com/ogr_en/status/1620429911356837890

OpenGlobalRights @OGR_EN

Movements to extend legal rights to non-human entities have drawn widespread criticism. @JoshGellers pushes back on some common objections, including the view of rights as a zero-sum game.

An appeal to those public intellectuals who do take the moral consideration of non-human sentient beings seriously.

Please talk about it.

(also thank you).

@HenGymroHebWlad @Nndroid @Miatsf @IanDunt @RMCunliffe @aptshadow Agree!

I had the pleasure of interviewing Adrian about "what's real?", "what matters?" and "how can we make a better future?" a while back...

You might enjoy the Peter Watts episode too. Blindsight!

I hope my #Sentientism YouTube & podcast guests 💚 help us see that it's OK, even good, to:

- Change our minds
- Reject harmful social norms
- Drop poorly founded beliefs
- Get comfortable not knowing stuff
- Reject exclusionary ethics
- Extend our compassion further...

I wonder if #Veganism/#sentientism can (ironically?) lead to increased desensitization? A rambling 🧵;
Like you go from a state of non-Veganism “animals are food/clothing etc and this is ok for everyone involved” to “There are corpses in the family fridge…

"All suffering matters morally"

“Experiences in activism are transformational… when I first got arrested… it allowed me to change my self-conception”

Do wild animals matter? What (if anything) should we do about it?

Fascinating thesis by @ludwig_raal taking a #Sentientist approach re: wild animal ethics: https://scholar.sun.ac.za/handle/10019.1/124595

"Better Never to Have Been in the Wild: A Case for Weak Wildlife #Antinatalism."
