5: Prince throws a creationist tantrum! – Sentientist Conversations – Carole Raphaelle Davis #2

Sentientism 24 November 2020


Background
share close

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.

What’s it like to have Prince throw a creationist tantrum when you take him on his first trip to a natural history museum?

Carole Raphaelle Davis tells us what it’s like to be a radical feminist, atheist, vegan (and Sentientist) in the showbiz world of Hollywood.

“Sentientism feels like home!” 

We talk about:

– What it was like to work with and socialise with Prince – and how his religiosity affected their relationship

– How animal ethics and veganism are finally, irreversibly going “mainstream”

– Why it’s so important for public figures, like Joaquin Phoenix, to be vocal about their ethics.

You can find the video of our conversation here on YouTube – why not subscribe there too?
