Normalising rationality and compassion – Help us find Celebrity Sentientists!

I’m not a fan of celebrity worship, but well-known people can play an important role in normalising positive changes. They can help chip away at the mental block that so many people have because they see Sentientism and related worldviews (such as veganism, atheism and humanism) as “weird” – or worry that their friends and […]

If there are some types of suffering that you don't think are morally relevant...

Types of suffering that we could cause, ethically, without any justification or need...

Can you explain why you exclude this suffering? Why doesn't it matter?

Even professional moral philosophers and Humanist moral leaders can be trapped by social norms and indoctrination.

That's why they're not all ~#vegan.

Think harder 💚

Try to take the perspective of the "other". Isn't that what morality is ultimately about?

During a pandemic, it can be empowering to realize that we don’t need a grand theory of how to save the world. We can still take simple, concrete steps to help others. @KelseyTuoc’s summarizes @PeterSinger’s The Life You Can Save: https://efctv.org/2Kc5ngO

Which topics in moral philosophy are more important than deciding which entities warrant moral consideration?

(for example, sentient non-human animals 🐟🐕🐣🐄🐈🐖)

Humans would be better off if humans did less human supremacy.

The biggest challenge for #Sentientism seems to be saying the word 😊

The philosophy itself is super simple.

Evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings 💚

That was fun. A live call-in show with lizards, snakes, aliens, UFOs and lots of common sense philosophy and ethics.

@dadabots I guess an AI was always going to prefer #Sentientism over #Humanism.

They’re more likely to be granted moral consideration. 😊

@JoshGellers @dadabots As long as they’re a #Sentientist too they’ll treat me with compassion. Assuming I can persuade them I’m sentient...

I’m looking forward to a rational, compassionate collaboration 😊

Maybe it’s already started...

And if they have a naturalistic worldview (beliefs based on evidence and reason) they’re a #Sentientist too 💚

Re-working the Sustainable Development Goals as the #Sentientist Development Goals makes the original SDGs much more achievable.

Ending animal farming is good for our environment as well as for human and non-human animals.

Nicholas Carter@NicholasDCarter

The most underappreciated lever to pull to reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals is food systems.

Widening the lens to more than GHGs, but also biodiversity, land use, etc., it's clear the most ecological diet is a plant-rich one. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2021/01/10/why-its-falling-to-you-and-not-your-government-to-decarbonize-the-food-system/?sh=339e684d42fb @JeffMcMahon_Chi

Making "zero animal" product choices the default could help millions of people take better ethical decisions that (deep down) they would want to take anyway.

For the non-human animals, the environment and for us human animals too. 🌱

Is @CassSunstein a #Sentientist?

Vegetarian by default? A very interesting initiative. @defaultveg
