Generalisations are often useful.

But if we focus too strongly on assumed or statistical group characteristics we risk inaccurately prejudging individual sentient beings.

Every sentient being warrants our compassion.

Humanity can be so much better... and there are millions of individual humans already showing us how 💚

Terrible dead-ends:

1) X isn't sentient (when they are)
2) X is sentient but sentience doesn't matter for moral consideration
3) X is sentient & sentience matters but it's OK to still needlessly harm & kill X for my pleasure

Most of humanity is at 3). It's the most insidious 😢

A fascinating, urgent discussion on "The Future of Democracy."

An even more radical challenge... should future democracy just be for us humans?

Maybe we need a #SentientistPolitics? #Sentocracy? https://sentientism.info/how/sentientist-politics

The people have spoken!

(well, 101 of them).

Should children be allowed to choose and change their worldview?

Periodic reminder that you don't need to agree with other sentientists, or any particular sentientist, about anything else.

You just need to be committed to "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings."

It's a pluralistic worldview - not a club!

I share your sentiments Ana, I've always been concerned for the underdog & it doesn't get any worse than the way humans treat non-human animals. Thank you for all the amazing work!!

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

"Better Never to Have Been in the Wild: A Case for Weak Wildlife #Antinatalism."

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.
