We discuss the biggest questions: "what's real?", "who matters?" and "how to make a better world?" with scientists, celebrities, activists, writers and philosophers. The Sentientism worldview is "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings." It's a simple, yet radical, philosophy that's grounded in reality (naturalistic epistemology) and has compassion for all sentient beings (mostly human and non-human animals). Naturalism & sentiocentrism combined.

This episode is a bonus cross-post of my discussion about Sentientism with Claudia Hirtenfelder on her wonderful podcast, The Animal Turn. Make sure you go and subscribe if you haven’t already. Go back and listen from the start too! Claudia has hosted so many mind-expanding conversations spanning five seasons so far.
In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the three most important questions: “what’s real?”, “what (and who) matters?” and “how can we make a better future?”
The Sentientism worldview answers those questions with a commitment to “evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings.”
