The Sentientism worldview is "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings". Simple yet radical. sentientism.info www.youtube.com/c/Sentientism apple.co/391khQO By: bsky.app/profile/jamiewoodhouse.bsk…

Thanks gents. Great episode. Things get really interesting when we also obscure our species behind the veil of ignorance. Academics like Rowlands and Dombrowski have done just that, with some radical implications. @pimlicat.bsky.social gets it 💚

We should spend time with family and friends because we care about them and they care about us. But friends and family may not care about who we care about.  So we should also spend good time with people who care about who we care about.

Which worldview should we want powerful AIs to have and why is it Sentientism? (Evidence, reason, and compassion for all sentient beings.)

Sentientism @sentientism.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Too often, the leap from anthropocentrism to biocentrism or ecocentrism is little more than a desperate attempt to bypass the powerful, practical moral implications of sentiocentrism. That renders most biocentrism and ecocentrism a thin veneer on the same old anthropocentrism 😢

I so grateful for those, working in the AI field, who take nonhuman sentient animal ethics seriously. And I’m frightened by those who don’t. What sort of world, for us sentient beings, are they working to create?

Humans obsessing over the moral implications of potentially sentient AIs as if they're at all interested in the moral implications of definitely sentient nonhuman animals in slaughterhouses & fisheries🤷‍♂️ Don't we want to be consistent? @sentientism.bsky.social

And the reason dehumanization is so dangerous? It's because of how we think about nonhuman animals. Our anthropocentrism. Our human supremacy. Our casual derogation, objectification, vilification. Ending those via @sentientism.bsky.social will help us end all the intra-human discriminations too.

Sentientism @sentientism.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
Anthropocentrism, even our obsession with the human, doesn’t just destroy our ethics. It warps our epistemology too. So many debates about the nature of reality are trapped into circling purely human psychological and sociological conceits. Forever marvelling at ourselves.

Sentientism @sentientism.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
We focus on #SentientistPolitics, #SentientistEconomics and #Sentientist [insert all the other fields here], because, whenever an “animal” field is seen as optional & separate from the mainstream human field, the door remains open to the ongoing exploitation of nonhuman sentients.
062
Sentientism @sentientism.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
If your first questions, when you come across the #Sentientism worldview, include: - “Who or what do I worship & submit to?” - “Where do I fit in the hierarchy?” - “What should I believe?” - “Am I allowed to leave?” Your expectations may have been shaped by other worldviews.

We can’t do ethics only with values. They’re not enough. We need facts too. That means we need an epistemology. Better make it a good one! One driven by reality. To give us the best shot of understanding reality. So we can make reality better.

One of the darkest, but most important things to learn about human psychology, sociology, disinformation and power, is how decent people can end up supporting terrible things being done to other sentient beings, both human and not. Not just in history, but today.

A workshop w/12 yr olds today: Me: "Why should we care about humans?" Kid 1: "Because we're human." Me: "But what is it about being human that means we matter?" Kid 2: "Because we're conscious. Because we can feel." We matter because we're sentient beings, not because we're human beings.
