Humanism Versus Sentientism by Leslie Allan Leslie Allan responds to Jamie Woodhouse critique humanism is human-centric pointing to equivocation on anthropocentric, key humanist documents, history and strategic focus of humanists.

This article suggests the Sentientism worldview isn't an upgrade to Humanism, but a downgrade: www.rationalrealm.com/philosophy/m...
Either way, I hope Humanism will soon take "compassion for all sentient beings" as seriously as it takes "compassion for all human beings." Some humanists already do 🥰

There are so many ways that adopting a #Sentientism worldview would be good for us human sentient beings too.

If we can't do the right thing for others 🤷, can't we at least do the right thing when it works selfishly for us?

Thanks @joshgellers.bsky.social !

Sometimes a kid’s question, during a @sentientism.bsky.social worldview workshop, really sticks in my mind.

Like this one from a 9 year old: “If we really care about animals, why would we pay someone to kill them?”

I love talking to people about how to make a better world. And their philosophical and worldview journeys, particularly when they lead towards #Sentientism ‘s “evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings” 😊

Things and beings people say are #sentient on podcasts 🤷‍♂️.

Explaining the #Sentientism worldview to people at the anti-racism / anti-far right / #Together / #NoKings march yesterday:

"It’s an anti-discrimination worldview. A positive philosophical reason for rejecting ALL the discriminations at once.”

What the James Talarico Vegan Story Reveals About U.S. Politics Centuries ago, Thomas Paine envisioned a country free of arbitrary rule—from both monarchy and religion. Today, religious and secular dogma still curtail what can be said on the campaign trail.

Thanks @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social

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

Thanks Matthew. John's description of the #femivore phenomenon (see our full conversation linked below) resonates here. Disenchanted women finding a bizarre sort of empowerment through oppression and violence. Mirroring their carnivore bro menfolk:

As hopefully people will realise if they replace “human” in that sentence with an arbitrary human sub-group or identity group.

“Simply because we’re human” is not a good answer for why we should have rights.

I'm not religious but I enjoyed listening to Professor Clough's reflections. If only all religious people were compassionate like Professor Clough... we would have an entirely different status-quo. Thank you for this conversation @sentientism.bsky.social !

My second interview with Jamie Woodhouse on Sentientism has dropped today. We had a lively if sobering conversation about the violence of the animal economy and possible solutions to it.
