Here’s our wall of sentientists. If, like them, you’re committed to evidence and reason and have compassion for all sentient beings, why not join them and add your tile here.
“One of the things I am most certain of in life is that what is truly valuable from a moral perspective is flourishing and the absence of suffering for all creatures who can experience.”

If there is one sentence that could sum up all i am and all i believe it would be ‘respect all and every life, it is the bare minimum, the baseline, the place to start’
@LeomantVictoria
Alleviating suffering and pain wherever it exists is the most compelling foundation for morality on offer.

Compassion and reason the cornerstones of a peaceful and progressive society, and I personally wouldn’t mind calling myself a sentientist. However, as a person who dabbles with faith and faith traditions, I have to respect the beliefs of many, which cannot always be backed by reason. As long as people find their peace. 🙂

I have a strong view that humans should look out for other creatures that share our planet.

I like to think I spend my time on this planet developing – my intellect, my reason, my compassion. It takes discipline of thought and love to rise above our basic instincts, and I am happy and willing and loving enough to work towards that discipline for the sake of my fellow sentient beings.

We’ve been brainwashed to believe competition is the essence of life. It isn’t. There is competition. But cooperation is more common, more vital, more quintessential to life.

Because an unexamined life, is not worth living.
If the Universe is ever to make sense, sense is best served by observation and experimentation. Not by revelation.
