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!
