Good point that "Our society is unknowingly guilty of serious, large-scale wrongdoing."

Then there's the large-scale wrongdoing we're very aware of but doing almost nothing to end 🤷

Why just be against some forms of oppression?

How should we respond to future (ongoing?) moral & epistemic revolutions like @Sentientism?

- Speed up 💚
- Slow down ❌
- Moral uncertainty (pluralism?) 💚
- Value uncertainty (pluralism?) 💚
- Flex morals/institutions/tech 💚
- Vague guilt & do nothing🤷
- Moral paralysis! 🤷

John Danaher @JohnDanaher

What are the eight ways in which we can respond to future moral revolutions? See table below. From this new paper with @HopsterJeroen https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001632872200146X

Is the UK 🇬🇧 shifting fast towards worldviews based on "evidence and reason"? How about universal compassion?

The census question still asks: "What is your religion?" -implying everyone should have one!

Many answering with a religion actually hold no supernatural beliefs.

Here is the snap reaction from @Humanists_UK on today's astonishing census results for England and Wales. The top headlines... 🧵 1/4

#Sentientism doesn't mean believing:

- That sentience is binary or not
- That sentience is graded or not
- That sentience is uni or multi-dimensional
- That sentience is always easy to assess
- In any particular philosophy of mind

Just that #sentience matters...

So we want to make a better world...

Who has the most power? Humans.

What guides their every decision? Their worldviews about what's real & what matters.

So let's persuade them to have a good one.

How about "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings"? #Sentientism

Carol's creativity/compassion:lovely.Many interesting things to ponder post this conversation;for me,chief among them: a #sentientist foundation for compassion: key.
