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.

Non-human sentient beings should be part of every moral conversation.

It’s not enough to address them as an afterthought on the rare occasion that someone asks the awkward question.

Unthinking, unchallenged anthropocentrism is even more dangerous than explicit anthropocentrism.

Good epistemology is a moral imperative.

Sentientism isn’t just a worldview for individuals.

It’s a worldview for institutions and systems.

“Evidence, reason, and compassion for all sentient beings.”

Spirituality, Veganism & Sentientism. The wonderful Mari Andrew joins me on #Sentientism episode 243. Find our full conversation on the Sentientism YouTube and Podcast as ever. Here's a clip for you to share! 
Because we're obviously, already, so dazzlingly naturalistic and rational 🤣we sometimes tend to focus on the "compassion for all sentient beings" of Sentientism more than the "evidence and reason" part. So to rebalance, here's some more great epistemological advice from Clearer Thinking and Spencer Greenberg!

Could animal sanctuaries be like shrines or mosques or gurdwaras or temples or synagogues or churches for Sentientists?

Not as places of worship, but as places to connect, recharge, help each other and inspire visions of a Sentientist future?

Inspired by @marisul.bsky.social 🥰
We humans like to pretend we are truth seeking and ethical.

Instead, we tend to start from "what I and those around me believe must be true" and "what I and those around me do must be moral."

Then we work backwards to justify ourselves.

Can we find the bravery to think and act differently?

Imagine all moral and political philosophers throughout history and today asked the “who matters?” question.
Institutions can be sociopathic.

Systems that don’t care operated largely by people who do.
It’s tempting to want to bolt on specific, hard-coded beliefs to the #Sentientism worldview’s “evidence, reason, and compassion for all sentient beings.”

But as soon as any worldview bakes in specific beliefs it becomes, by definition, dogmatic.

Sentientism is anti-dogma.
