If AIs Are Sentient They Will Know Animal Suffering is Bad. Ronen Bar of The Moral Alignment Center on Sentientism Ep:226. Find our full conversation on the Sentientism YouTube: https://youtu.be/9hDIQj-i44M or podcast.

"Changed My Mind" is a brand new, hopefully soon to be top tier, podcast that resonates well with the #Sentientism worldview because:
1) It's about changing our minds, in good directions, based on evidence and reasoning
2) Non-human sentient beings are just naturally part of every conversation - because why wouldn't they be?

If people are experiencing a "crisis of meaning", can worldviews like @sentientism (evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings) help?

The threats & opportunities of tool AI are driven by the worldviews of their human designers & users.

The threats & opportunities of agentic AI are driven by the AIs’ own worldviews.

Either way, the @sentientism worldview would be radically better than default human worldviews.

"What A Fish Knows" and "Super Fly" author & ethologist Jonathan Balcombe, joins me for episode 228 of the #Sentientism podcast and YouTube. Find our full conversation there. Here's a taster clip!

If our worldview hard-codes in even one specific, unchallengeable belief isn’t it, by definition, dogmatic?

Is the Sentientism worldview anti-dogmatic or a dogma?
Is "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings" so generic it says nothing, or does it drive radical change?

“Should we go extinct?”

And how would our answer change if we adopt anthropocentric, sentiocentric or ecocentric moral scopes?

Religious Education teachers might be the most important people 🤩
They're helping kids to explore, understand and examine worldviews and to shape their own.
I've been lucky to present to hundreds of them about the #Sentientism worldview in recent months at conferences and network events. Here's a recent recording.

Refreshing to see the "who matters?" question get asked. Instead of a human-centric answer just being unthinkingly assumed.
