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.

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

We should think deeply about whether an AI is sentient or not.

But please also consider that farmed & fished animals obviously are.

Then act on the implications of that.

Do wild animals matter? What (if anything) should we do about it?

Fascinating thesis by @ludwig_raal taking a #Sentientist approach re: wild animal ethics: https://scholar.sun.ac.za/handle/10019.1/124595

Such a pleasure to talk to Nicolas Treich @Treich13 yesterday about the new field of #SentientistEconomics.

(Yes, every field of human thought is improved by putting "#Sentientist" in front of it 🙂)

Out soon on the #Sentientism YouTube & Podcast.
