Pressure is growing on the United Nations to take sentient non-human animals seriously in the #SDGs. Whether adding an #SDG18 or upgrading them all to #SentientistDevelopmentGoals - something radical is needed.

Many apparent critics of #sentiocentrism aren't actually criticising it.
Instead, they're claiming that entities not typically thought of as sentient (e.g. plants, funghi, ecosystems, electrons, AI) should matter morally because they are sentient.
That's still sentiocentrism.

Sentientism's "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings" has radical implications for intra-human problems and opportunities too.

It’s much easier for #anthropocentrism to simply not consider out-group sentients. Just ignore them. Don’t even reference them. Unthinkingly assume only (some?) humans matter. The scope is already set.
Because explicitly morally excluding out-group sentients is unjustifiable.
And once you include some of them... you have to include them all 💚
