“I’m supporting the oppression of that group because I’m focused on resisting the oppression of this group”, is not a strong moral argument.

#Sentientism is deep work.

It's not about beliefs or credences. It's about what they're based on.

It's not about moral trade-offs or thought experiments. It's about who gets morally included & our baseline obligations.

"Evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings".

Happy #ALawDay (#AnimalLaw Day)! One day soon every domain of human thought will take the interests of all our fellow sentient beings seriously. Kudos to those who are driving our global, regional, national and local legal systems in that direction. @sentientism.bsky.social

All too often “nature” and “life” are used as bypassing distractions to avoid thinking about “sentient beings”.

We need to reclaim the word “humane”. It means treating someone with kindness and compassion 💚

Thrilled to have received the first copies of my new book (co-authored with the wonderful John Adenitire). Very grateful to the team at #OxfordUniversityPress and the editors of the Oxford Constitutional Theory series for their support.

@sentientism.bsky.social Well done!!

#sentientism

Love this moment from our upcoming @sentientism.bsky.social episode (out soon!) with #sebalex:

"People ask 'would you save a human or a non-human animal from a burning building?'"

"The actual question is ‘there’s an animal inside the building… do you want to burn the building?’" 🏠🔥

"We should grant moral consideration way beyond sentience" hits very differently when said by someone who doesn't even grant minimal moral consideration to sentient beings.

The question is, "gone well for whom?"

Thank you Erika!

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

#ReTeach #worldviews #sentientism #RVE #RWE #philosophy

Religious Education teachers might be the most important people 🤩 #RETeach
They help kids explore, understand & examine worldviews & shape their own.
I've been lucky to present to hundreds of them on the #Sentientism worldview at conferences and network events. Links below to a recording 👇

Imagine we could convert human fascination with non-human animals into compassion.

@sentientism.bsky.social

Me too!

Whether you're an Indian cow 🐮 or the human infant 👶selected to be the #DalaiLamaSuccessor, maybe being worshipped is just another form of autonomy-destroying exploitation?

“Should we go extinct?”

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