It was such a pleasure to workshop the Sentientism worldview with the new class of trainee Religious Education teachers at University College London last week. Glad these young teachers will be helping thousands of kids to understand the worldviews of others and to shape their own 🤩
75,000 downloads and streams for the Sentientism podcast!
(No, not per episode, in total. But still...)
Thank you for every rating, review, subscription, follow, listen and friend share. Every one helps nudge the world towards "evidence, reason, and compassion for all sentient beings" - in both thought and action 🤩 And thanks to my wonderful guests too!

"MurderBot, Non-violent Protest & Microbial Minds"
#Scifi author & microbiology Professor Joan Slonczewski 🤩 from Kenyon College joins me on #Sentientism worldview episode 238 on YouTube & Podcast. Find our full conversation there. Here's a clip! Please do share both around.
It’s good to reject all baseless discriminations & moral exclusions & oppressions.

But it’s also good to have a robust, positive reason for rejecting them.

Anthropocentrism (“we’re all human”) is not a robust reason.

Sentiocentrism (“we’re all sentient beings”) is.

All welcome! Sign up https://luma.com/uxs5ot2n?tk=kZfI9u
Thanks for organising, Michael!
Anthropocentrism is bad for human sentients.
Two things I’m confident are robustly positive in the face of epistemic and moral uncertainty:

1) Naturalistic “evidence & reason” understanding of reality

2) Sentiocentric “compassion for all sentient beings” moral scope.

"If you’re a liberal and you think the fundamental political task is to stop tyranny… then the animal question just seems to be obvious… It’s the most blatant example of the unaccountable exercise of power…"

Will Kymlicka, on the Knowing Animals podcast

Imagine someone adopts the #Sentientism worldview: “evidence, reason, and compassion for all sentient beings”.

What impacts will there be on them as an individual and on the wider world - over time?
Looking forward to our 3rd IRL #Sentientism Community Meetup tomorrow. We'll be chatting about our visions for #sentientisteducation. What education grounded in "evidence, reason, & compassion for all sentient beings" might look like. Come join us!

Sentientist Constitutions?
Constitutions are the foundation of our legal and political systems. Imagine they included non-human animals! Learn about this simple yet radical idea in episode 241 of the Sentientism podcast and YouTube with John Adenitire and Raffael Fasel.
