Talking to Humanists about Sentientism – Cross-post bonus from Podcast for Inquiry – Sentientism 188

Sentientism 8 March 2024


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.

This episode is a bonus cross-post of my discussion with Leslie Rosenblood, host of Podcast For Inquiry. Podcast For Inquiry is produced by the Center For Inquiry Canada. Leslie describes it as a podcast for scientific, skeptical, secular, rational and humanistic (and maybe now sentientst) inquiry. Make sure you go and subscribe there too.

I also wanted to extend a warm welcome to everyone who has recently joined one of our online Sentientism communities. More people join us there every day – whether they think of themselves as Sentientists or not. The groups are open to everyone.
Just search for the word “Sentientism” on your favourite platforms (FaceBook is our biggest group) and you’ll find us there.

Also check out the new “In action” section of Sentientism.info. We’re building pages there about Sentientist Education, Politics, Rights, Economics, Justice, Agriculture, Environmentalism and more – come and help us work out what a more Sentientist world might look like. 

A final thank you to Denise and Tarabella who found our Sentientism Patreon and are kindly contributing to our production costs – helping us steadily nudge the world towards “evidence, reason and compassion”.

Sentientism is “Evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings.” More at ⁠⁠⁠Sentientism.info⁠⁠⁠. Join our ⁠⁠⁠”I’m a Sentientist” wall⁠⁠⁠ via ⁠⁠⁠this simple form⁠⁠⁠.

Everyone, Sentientist or not, is welcome in our groups. The biggest so far is ⁠⁠⁠here on FaceBook⁠⁠⁠. Come join us there!
