I'm always baffled by the investment into new technologies to reduce methane when the solution is so much simpler and more ethical than trying too squeeze as much out of a living being as you possibly can. Stop eating beef. Stop eating cows. https://twitter.com/jan_dutkiewicz/status/1318920006952943616

Oh look! A fluff piece on the cattle industry in the NYT that reduces all its impacts to GHG emissions! It's almost as if ... focusing exclusively on carbon blinds us to other ecological, ethical, and political-economic impacts of harmful industries.

The next pandemic is VERY likely to come from the giant farms where we raise animals for meat. We desperately need to change our system if we don't want another situation like Covid (or worse).

Listen to our new podcast episode about this here: https://www.vox.com/2020/10/21/21363990/factory-farms-next-swine-influenza-pandemic?utm_campaign=vox&utm_content=entry&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Bayesian thinking is very powerful, and I recommend learning to do it well if you want to improve your thinking. However, I also see a limitation in the approach.

It operates in a paradigm of estimating the probability that a hypothesis is either True or False.

@JamesHeartfield @BenPhilliskirk @TrevorWAllman @jonnygill3 @OurWorldInData Thanks for reading it, James.

#Sentientism, like Humanism, is explicitly naturalistic so non-religious.

Outside of formal systems, our beliefs should be probabilistic and provisional - always open to new evidence.

It doesn't matter whether people use the terms #Sentientist or #Sentientism.

Lots of people don't like "isms" or labels.

The important thing is that people believe based on evidence & reason and have compassion for all sentient beings.

@lastpositivist Thank you! Love it.

Given your naturalistic stance and your reference to "all sentient beings", does that make you a #Sentientist?

Interested in your thoughts on the term if you get a few mins to skim.

Why are some obvious celeb Sentientists missing? They've upgraded to our "I'm a #Sentientist" wall.
