Sentientism

Maybe tangential, but to chip in...

Non-maleficence towards all sentient beings seems a solid baseline we all can aim for, whatever our moral system?

Doing what we can to avoid causing needless exploitataion/harm/killing?

Many of us can go further into benevolence too.

Kindness shouldn’t just be for humans.

#Sentientism

Even in war, good people care about animals.

Imagine we could make this compassion for sentient beings universal ❤️

In fact, why just imagine?

Apologies - I was just stuck by how weird this was. Rest assured I will only ever do things that cost him money.

If we resist “might makes right” ethics and epistemology when used against human sentients, let’s also resist it when used against non-human sentients.

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?

"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…"

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.

Anthropocentrism is bad for human sentients.

"There was no golden age of public knowledge, no moment at which the information most people received was largely unbiased and accurate."

As such, let's help everyone become far less susceptible to believing misinformation by improving their epistemology.

Yep #EpistemologyMatters, but it's sorely neglected. Just caring others and about the world isn't enough. You also need to understand the world well. Using evidence and reason is the best way.

That's why the #Sentientism worldview is "evidence, reason, and compassion for all sentient beings."

In a worldviews workshop this morning I asked a group of 60 kids: “Why do we care about humans?”

A 10-year-old girl immediately answered, “Because we have feelings.”

Yep 👍
