New Sentientism PodCast Episode – All Things Risk

I had a great conversation about Sentientism with Ben Cattaneo of the All Things Risk podcast. You can listen to the episode on the All Things Risk website, via Apple, Soundcloud or all the usual platforms. The All Things Risk podcast explores the themes of risk, uncertainty and resilience in every aspect of life. Have a look a some of their other episodes and […]

Beyond Species Interview

A fascinating Beyond Species podcast conversation focused on Sentientism and animal advocacy. We talked about how anti-speciesists and vegans generally are sentientist, in that they grant meaningful moral consideration to all sentient beings.

I am looking for examples of philosophical traditions that want to use *philosophical insights* to concretely help make the world a better place. I need many examples.
Already thinking of utilitarianism, effective altruism, pragmatism. Others?

One year ago last month, I delivered a TED talk (@TEDTalks). A year ago today, it went live online, and I hoped (hoped!!) I'd crack 1m views. Today, it has 2.2m views and has been translated into dozens of languages. #happy. Haven't seen it? Here you go: http://tinyurl.com/y9pmxqzs

@wrwveit The major problem for naturalism is that critics think it's claiming perfect knowledge.

It isn't.

Our perceptions are the result of imperfect, evolved tech.

So, outside of formal systems, we build provisional & probabilistic knowledge.

All else is arbitrary fabrication.

One weird thing about #Sentientism...

The people that agree with it think it’s almost trivially obvious.

But most of the world’s people disagree.

@Sentientism @sentientism·

@Helenreflects @Sllwinters How about #Sentientism...

Evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings.

Naturalism + sentiocentrism.

Developing thoughts on practical implications: https://sentientism.info/how

+ some thoughts on what might disappear in a #Sentientist world:

The world is not better for non-human animals. We've made it much worse 😢

Looking forward to the new @OurWorldInData data sets on this topic.

And maybe a new chapter in the next edition of "#EnlightenmentNow - The Case for Reason, Science, #Sentientism, & Progress?"

All three statements are true at the same time:
• The world is much better
• The world is awful
• The world can be much better

Going back in time, but an all too rare discussion of the intersection between #atheism and animal ethics.

https://www.ourhenhouse.org/2015/02/book-review-animal-liberation-and-atheism-dismantling-the-procrustean-bed-by-kim-socha/

Thanks @piperhoffman 💚

You might (or might not) find #Sentientism is an improvement on Kim's "vegan atheology".

Evidence, reason + compassion.

#Sentientist s don't believe in gods - we're committed to evidence & reason.

But our compassion extends to all sentient beings - including religious humans!

+ We welcome the efforts of anyone working to broaden our moral circle to all sentient beings - whatever their beliefs 💚

@evolveon A pleasure, Gunnar.

Always on the look out for historical (and current) figures who are both naturalistic and sentiocentric = #Sentientist.

Both worldviews have deep roots in many regions and cultures.

More suggestions very welcome!

And Al-Ma'arri may have been an early #Sentientist.

“do not desire as food the flesh of slaughtered animals / Or the white milk of mothers who intended its pure draught / for their young”.

Non-religious and #vegan in the year 1000 💚

@generallydone Shelley, her husband and a few of their circle were likely #Sentientist too (naturalistic + sentiocentric)...
