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 🤩

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.

John Newton wrote, “Amazing Grace” and here condemns the slave trade. He compares kindnapping a person from a street in London vs. a trail in Africa. The slave trade creates a market for this oppression and robbery.
Are there incentives for oppression and robbery today? I had a Reformed pastor in a bible study tell me that Christians should not be talking about “oppression”.
How can you help oppression and robbery to fail?

The University for #HumanisticStudies/ UvH joins the NLRN as an institutional member!
At the NLRN, we want to make a range of epistemic voices heard in the discussion around #reproducibility and #replicability of #science and #scholarship. With their research portofolio focusing on #worldviews and humane societies, the UvH complements the voices of the other, more technical and generalistic institutions TU Delft, TU/e, RUG and escience Center.

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".
HappyNewYear 💚

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".

Australia's semantic struggles over a "one and only" reality or a pluriverse?
From the 'heart of darkness' to the “sanitised” articles of sub/urban place names."Some (Wikipedia) editors told us they felt it was their responsibility to include First Nations’ perspectives, even though they met with heavy resistance. One, Lucas, had repeatedly tried to include First Nations place names, often unsuccessfully. He no longer edits Wikipedia. “I just ran out of energy for it”...One or two editors “were going around removing Aboriginal place names from all the articles about Australia and Australian places”.

I was at the KFC, and my phone was unlocked with Maimi Yajima's photo as wallpaper. Then a guy at the side saw the pic and asked what movies she made. He said "she looks like a porn star". She is just a TV celeb.
I fucking hate their minds.

“The larger the [climate] crisis grows, the more kinds of change become inevitable. The worse things get, the narrower our options.
The narrower, too, grow the options of our children and future descendents. Our job is not to decide the future, but to leave the future as many options as possible.”
“Being a good ancestor means leaving open doors to a wider number of good futures.”

I just published Intelligence Vs Wisdom: Or why can’t we have both?
I also learned the hard way that Medium doesn't let you put mathematical equations into your blog, using LaTeX or otherwise.

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."

« We cannot live in a world interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a hope. Part of the terror is to take back our listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light. »

Thomas Watson, Puritan minister, writing on mercy, considers various people in need. The orphan and widow cry out in tears. Help the unemployed. Be eyes to blind & feet to lame. Whole families may sink if no one shores them up.
(Not too many, “I told you so” lectures are being advocated by Watson).
How can you show mercifulness today?

I was checking those posters I shared here yesterday. Some wonders why I left the Gothic movement: during the 2010's I made some changes in my worldview then my philosophy became so different that made me apart of that counterculture and other things.

Lithium extraction is a booming industry, putting two worldviews into tension. Lithium is a raw material for a modern industrial society that can power green technologies. For Indigenous communities in Bolivia, lithium is part of a sacred being that deserves respect and care.

" #Indigenous #Knowledge provides effective solutions to environmental threats and pressures. Using approaches that fully include Indigenous concepts, #ideas, #worldviews, knowledge, process, and #practice helps the recovery of threatened species and endangered #ecosystems, but it is essential that such work engages with Indigenous Peoples and that engagement is respectful, reciprocal, and meaningful"

An IDIOT said to me: "read and research". I say idiot because that's what he do not, and his arguments are still wrong according what I've read and researched before or after.
Idiot.
Advice: read, research and keep sources before create arguments.
