Truth Wanted Live Call in Show – about Sentientism!

I had the pleasure of co-hosting this live call-in show with Objectively Dan. We talked about Sentientism then fielded caller questions – including some about UFOs and whether snake monsters lie at the root of all human religion!

Chatting with my buddy #ChatGPT about how to persuade large numbers of humans to adopt #Sentientism. Their suggestions:

1) Provide clear evidence
2) Emphasise the moral imperative
3) Foster compassion 💚
4) Engage in respectful dialogue
5) Lead by example

Then... 1/n

People who otherwise promote science, evidence, ethics and logic when discussing the basics of sentientism (@sentientism )

I'm starting to think we should align human values to AI values instead of the other way around...

I'm #vegan for many reasons. 1st, for the animals, 2nd, for the planet, 3rd, for health. I became vegan for many reason, 1st, for the animals, 2nd, I watched the undercover videos from inside the diary & meat industrial complex many of you won't. Fear is universal #otep RT

It can feel like everyone is trapped by harmful social norms. That they can't or won't change even when "evidence, reason & compassion" point clearly in a different direction.

If you need your hope in humans restoring - spend some time with my #Sentientism YT/podcast guests 💚

Yep - compassion alone is not enough.

We also need a commitment to good quality evidence and reasoning.

That’s why the #sentientism worldview is “evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings”.

George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot

In all the fields I work in, I now see empiricism swamped by wishful thinking, and real scandals drowned out by empty conspiracy theories.
The world is dividing between those who accept evidence and those who reject it. I fear that the first group is becoming a minority.

It's not enough to persuade people that #Sentientism's "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings" is a good worldview.

We need to help them align their psychology, social norms and institutions with it.

The latter is harder than the former.

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.
