Every now and then I send out an update about our Sentientism “movement”(?) to the academics, activists, celebs, lawyers, policy people, podcasters, YouTubers and writers I’ve spammed so far about Sentientism. I thought I’d share it here in case of interest.
“The aim is to convince 8 billion people to use evidence & reason & extend universal compassion to all sentient beings, thereby solving all the world’s problems.” New podcast interview!
“Do you want a habitable planet for your children?” A Sentientist Conversation with Zion Lights. Addressing the climate challenge with evidence, reason and compassion.
In this Sentientist Conversation I talk to Law and Rights Lecturer and Author, Dr. Joe Wills. We talk about what’s real and what matters morally. “We have a golden opportunity to re-imagine our relationships with non-human animals.”
Annika van den Born from Future Based and I discuss how naturalism and sentiocentrism come together in Sentientism. We discuss how “higher power” systems of thinking tend to warp compassionate ethics. We talk about the risks of environmental movements extending their moral circles too far (biocentrism, ecocentrism or holism) while often ignoring sentient non-human animals. We also talk about what a Sentientist utopia might look and how we might move towards it.
