All sentient beings have interests that deserve full and rational consideration

It is my core value that every sentient being deserves a good, happy life. Whatever their race, religion, class, gender, sexuality or species may be. I want their suffering to stop. Reason and evidence is a must when trying to solve questions on how to help those who suffer, to discover who is suffering and how they are suffering. I prefer sentientism over animalism because it doesn’t limit our moral circle to animals, but opens it to any kind of being who may be able to feel pain.

Because our choices need to be based on reason.

I selected all sentient perceptual experience as my ultimate ethical value after studying philosophy and completely rebuilding my ethical beliefs without previous dogmas. It came as a result of thoughts that emerged around the being-for-itself concept in Jean-Paul Sartre’s Being and Nothingness book and Peter Singer’s work. Consequently I have become an act utilitarian, vegan and an effective altruist. The concept has had a profound impact on my significant long-term decisions. I am confident that the world would be significantly better for everyone if everyone valued sentient experience, maximised positive perceptual experience and minimised negative perceptual experience.

I’m a sentientist because I believe any living being who processes emotion, good or bad, deserves respect and should be treated as equal.

not fully sure yet. i so far like what i hear but like any group like this i like to check out the people and see if they match the words

I give value to beings who are sentient rather than being just alive.

my dad told me about it and i thought yep that sounds like me

Why I’m A Sentientist:

– All suffering matters morally.

– No sentient being deserves to be treated as a commodity.

– Existing treatment is neither necessary for survival or morally justifiable.

– Cognitive science will continue to expand our understanding of the many forms of sentience.

– Recognizing our underlying genetic unity (ex. LUCA) is reason enough to universalize our compassion.

I’m a sentientist because there’s no better way to understand the universe than using evidence and reason and because our morality should consider any being that can suffer or flourish. @JamieWoodhouse
