#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...

Imagine if - as the evidence changed we would change our credences or beliefs.

Imagine if - as we encountered clear moral arguments we would change our lives.

Why just imagine? 😊

We’d rather eat microbes than animals. Here's @GeorgeMonbiot to explain why 👇

Ever wondered how #Veganism 🌱 and #Sentientism relate?

2 Tweet 🧵

@Sentientism @sentientism

@irondada17 @PhilipMPowell @JamieWoodhouse There's a v.big overlap. Diffs:

- Animal vs. sentient being (e.g. potential for insentient animals e.g. sponges)
- Animal vs. sentient being (e.g. potential for non-bio / AI sentients)
- Sentientism is explicitly naturalistic whereas many vegans have supernatural worldviews

When you’re so woke you aren’t even vegan anymore because you realize it isn’t “animal-ness” that gives a being moral value, it is it’s degree of sentience. #sentientism #sentientist

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."
