Sentientism is: Evidence, reason and moral consideration for all sentient beings

Such a pleasure to talk to Princeton University psychologist Tania Lombrozo 🤩 for #Sentientism Episode 168 on YouTube and Podcast.
"Our beliefs are playing all sorts of roles... social, moral, epistemic…" If we can express our values & identities in other ways could that free our beliefs to focus on the facts?

Open Global Rights is doing great work to take rights and justice beyond the human - often focusing on sentient beings 💚
Two powerful examples here from Colombian Senator Andrea Padilla and previous Sentientism podcast guest (ep:26) Jeff Sebo.
We can sometimes feel like we're preaching to the choir. But this is a very "human rights" audience - now engaging with radical sentiocentric ideas.

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.

"Do we need a Universal Declaration of Sentient Rights?" Two TikTok clips from Sentientism episode 162 with Jo-Anne McArthur of We Animals Media:

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.
