Another missed opportunity to lead the world by example 😢

Millions of others are - but we need billions!

@_HannahRitchie Thank you.

The most important fact about fishes is that each one of them is a sentient being capable of suffering.

We should not see them as objects or products.

So often we humans ignore the perspective of our victims.

Amazing article. So much to think through here and so many directions for new research.

“... the percent of children claiming that hamburgers, hot dogs, and bacon come from plants ranged from 36% to 41%.”

Some brief thoughts. 1/

Some say that using sentience as the primary qualifier for moral consideration is anthropocentric.

But sentience was around many millions of years before us and we humans are a tiny % of ~a quadrillion sentient beings on 🌏 today.

I'd have more patience if they were vegan 🤷🏼🌱

Which is the better basis for ethics?

1) Compassion for sentient beings that do exist?

2) Or obedience to an entity that doesn't?

The former = profit, the latter = loss.

So, the former horror = 'desirable', the latter horror = problem.

Time to augment #humanist ethics with the the moral philosophy of #sentientism - the right of all sentient feeling animals (human & non-human) to be spared suffering. Here's my full interview for @sentientism podcast with @JamieWoodhouse. WATCH & LISTEN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEVPufVRLGM

Finally:
📢I developed a future research agenda to inquire vegan advocacy
🎭realize: minority influence is often indirect, private & delayed, thus easily overlooked
❣️my work has important implications for the use of evidence & reason to promote compassion #sentientism

If you're an #introvert, #gay/#LGBTQ+, #atheist, #vegan and/or #sentientist (or tweet about related topics), then F4F 🤓 I will also be discussing the above topics & typically only follow accounts in these niches. Please message me if I didn't follow you back.

@PeterTatchell @stephenfry @TatchellMovie @Raindance @IanMcKellen @eltonofficial @DavidFurnish @thechrisamos @wildbeartv Many congratulations Peter and to the whole team. An amazing film.

I suspect Stephen is another #Sentientist too!

Periodic reminder that you don't have to agree with any of these Sentientists to be a #Sentientist.

You just have to believe using evidence & reason and have compassion for all sentient beings = #Sentientism.

Fascinating that two philosophers with very different views on consciousness both end up as ~#Sentientist and #Vegan (last 14 mins on ethics).

Sentience as the morally salient aspect of consciousness? ~"Can they suffer?"

I've been lucky to talk to them both on #Sentientism 👇🏽
