Relational approaches can be powerfully progressive.

But ⚠️ if you find yourself "in relation" to a powerful human that gets to define that relation without reference to your interests - and that human wants to use the way this relation categorises you to justify harming you...

Most often people form their core beliefs when they're young and never update them. But every so often an issue rises to the fore, making waves and changing minds.

Just one of the topics we discuss in our most recent episode, with @vaiseys!

Imagine if #history and #futurology were written from a #sentientist rather than a #humanist perspective.

I find it fascinating how some people who confidently believe certain things without evidence will ridicule people who believe other things without evidence.

@ManyMindsPod @vaiseys Fascinating episode thanks.

Stephen: #Sentientism might be an interesting worldview for you to add to the #WorldView lab catalogue @KenanEthics.

"Evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings." Naturalism & sentiocentrism combined.

Reasons not to like #Sentientism ("evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings"):

1⃣ You want to believe without evidence
2⃣ You want to keep consuming sentient beings
3⃣ It has too many syllables.

Any others?

Now imagine someone said "I agree with #Sentientism's 'evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings' but farming sentient animals for food is OK."

No one says the former. Many say the latter.

#Anthropocentrism is insidious. Even amongst those who claim to resist it.

WE LOVE YOU BOBBY, WARTS & ALL!

Poor Bobby couldn't even open his eye it was so painful & infected.

Bovine Papilloma Virus had caused warts had taken over his eye & so our large animal vets surgically removed them.

He's feeling much better now & finally pain free #Cows #TOLFA 2

We know we should care about the environment 💚🌏. But it also matters WHY we care... Some thoughts in this short piece.

What do you think?

@C_Kavanagh @GurusPod @DrAyshaAkhtar I do think Carl would be a #Sentientist if he was alive today though.

Harmful social norms hold even the brightest tightly 😢

@GurusPod Carl wasn't quite a #Sentientist but I think he would be if he was alive today...

@sashintweets @reason_it @stillfewer I like to frame #Sentientism as philosophically pluralistic.

Many with deontology/ virtue/ care/ utility/ rights/ relational ethics still use sentience to determine which entities warrant moral consideration.

They also take a naturalistic approach.

So they're #Sentientist too.
