  1. OK, OK, I get it. #Sentientism is a bit of a mouthful. It has 5 syllables! 😮

    But Christianity has 5 too and they seem to have done alright 🙂

    And then there's Zoroastrianism! 😱

    There are better reasons to pick a #Worldview

  2. Looking forward to our 3rd IRL #Sentientism Community Meetup tomorrow. We'll be chatting about our visions for #sentientisteducation. What education grounded in "evidence, reason, & compassion for all sentient beings" might look like. Come join us!

  3. It was such a pleasure to workshop the Sentientism worldview with the new class of trainee Religious Education teachers at University College London last week. Glad these young teachers will be helping thousands of kids to understand the worldviews of others and to shape their own 🤩

  4. Religious Education teachers might be the most important people 🤩

    They're helping kids to explore, understand and examine worldviews and to shape their own.

    I've been lucky to present to hundreds of them about the #Sentientism worldview in recent months at conferences and network events. Here's a recent recording.

  6. If we're not sure why #worldviews matter consider the influence of Christianity, Islam, Sanatana Dharma, Buddhism, Yoruba, Sikhism, Judaism, Humanism...

    Now imagine the #sentientism worldview's potential impacts via: "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings".

  7. Why do #worldviews matter?

    Because they steer every decision taken by those with power and influence (humans... & maybe AIs too) - for good or ill .

    Make sure you pick a good one - if you're allowed. Like #Sentientism's "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings".

  8. Feedback from the Northern #RETeacher network 💚:

    "Absolutely loved the Sentientism discussion. Ironically, as teachers we don’t learn enough new stuff! Can’t wait to implement it."

  12. Fascinating story in the new #Sentientism podcast / YT episode I'm working on.

    My guest, Kathy, asked a #Catholic priest about #transubstantiation: "I'm #vegan now, I don't eat flesh, I don't drink blood... I can't do it... he just kind of blew me off."

  13. At the end of the day, it's not about our diet. It's about the fact that non-human animals are individuals, too, who want to live. The same things that give humans intrinsic dignity also apply to other animals with brains and nervous systems.

    I would like to find some other way of referring to them besides "non-human" animals... humans are animals, too, so it's logical. But if we've seen other ideas, please let me know. I want to decentralize the human and not collectivize everyone else.

    It's less about "veganism" and who is "vegan" and more about... are we recognizing animals' intrinsic dignity and will to live, and are we willing to take steps to put that into action.

    Centering their lives, not our own comforts and desires. Because we're capable of the added reflection, we have this moral duty to use such knowledge and put it into practice. If we don't, we're wasting this faculty.
