Can you do me a favour?

I'm worried the Apple podcast review system is down because #Sentientism hasn't had many reviews recently.

Would be great if you can test it for me. About a 1,000 of you would be good 😘🙂

We should care about others because of what we think is going on in their minds - not just what’s going on in ours (e.g. “they’re cute/interesting/useful/beautiful”).

(& Yes, what we think about what’s in their minds is in our minds, of course.)

@kncukier @danieldennett @blaiseaguera @GaryMarcus @DrSueSchneider @drkatedevlin @sentientism & I'd strongly advise against trying to align super-powerful AIs with current human values...

Given current human values see it as acceptable to harm & kill less powerful sentient beings for trivial reasons.

Let's hope our AGI overlords are #Sentientist - for our sakes 🙂

We should challenge all injustice against any persons. This includes the most unjustly treated persons on earth, who are nonhuman animals. #sentientism #vegan

Shouldn’t a core part of morality be about considering the experiences of others? Their flourishing and suffering?

And to do it well shouldn’t we be careful not to exclude any “others”, those with experiences, from our moral consideration?

A truly great vision...🙏💚 #Sentientism

Animal Ethics @animalethics

To respect some individuals means taking their interests into account when we are deciding how to act, and trying to do what is better for them

In a conversation about #Sentientism today:

"It's a worldview that irritates almost every human."

Who would think "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings" could be so contentious?🤷

In #Sentientist conversations I do want to normalise "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings" (not that all my guests agree!).

But I also hope they show we can question social norms with compassion.

And that we can change (us & them).

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."
