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).

These people are so kind and approchable... they're clearly looking for common ground to build off of" - "But when you respond with 'I'm atheist I don't go toany church at all'... the reaction... would be suspicion, confusion..." - "My mum... took the tactic of saying we would 'homechurch'... either indicating that we have no religion at all or we're way more intense than the rest of you" :) - At 7 years old: "That was intense... I didn't haveany concept of god or theism or religion - I'd never heard of any of these things... it was like living through a culture clash even though I hadn't left my own country" - "We eventually did find a home in a Unitarian Universalist fellowship... very welcoming of what they called liberalreligion... people who had found themselves ostracised by other congregations... LGBTQ+... Muslims... the Wicca faith... they would congregate in this space... exchange ideas... trying to find common ground across all of these different religious doctrines... I found that to be very enriching" - "Sunday School programme which offered a survey ofreligions. By the time I finished that programme...

Matthew Halteman is professor of philosophy at Calvin University and a fellow in the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics. He wrote Compassionate Eating as Care of Creation and co-edited Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments about the Ethics of Eating (with Andrew Chignell and Terence Cuneo ). His latest book, Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan , was published in November 2024. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the most important questions: “what’s real?”, “who matters?” and "how can we make a better world?" Sentientism answers those questions with "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings."

Jim Mason is a lawyer, journalist and animal rights activist. He was introduced to philosopher Peter Singer , guest on Sentientism episodes 156 and 218, in 1974. Their book Animal Factories was first published in 1980 and revised in 1990. It provides a critical review and photographic documentation of factory farming practices in North America. Jim's book, An Unnatural Order: The Roots of Our Destruction of Nature looks at the historical and cultural roots of the Western belief in God-given dominion over the living world. Jim was elected to the U.S. Animal Rights Hall of Fame in 2001. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the most important questions: “what’s real?”, “who matters?” and "how can we make a better world?" Sentientism answers those questions with "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on YouTube . 00:00 Clips! 01:15 Welcome 02:47 Jim's Intro - Raised on an animal farm, milking cows, killing chickens - Vegetarian since 1955 and more recently vegan - Born during WWII, growing up in 1940-50s rural America - Religious indoctrination "a family of Bible thumpers...

By the time the service was over I began to consciously think 'I am an atheist - I don't believe this stuff'" - "I have since graduated from atheism to anti-theism... I don't like any form of theism... it's anti-science... we'll find a better kind of based for our spirituality other than superstition." 06:41 What's Real? - "It's human supremacy.

Thom Norman is the co-founder of FarmKind , a new non-profit focused on raising money for some of the best farmed animal charities. FarmKind is designed to help donors both have a big impact for animals and donate to the organisations they care about most. It allows users to split donations between an expert-recommended super-effective charity and their favourite charity, then provides a bonus on both. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the most important questions: “what’s real?”, “who matters?” and "how can we make a better world?" Sentientism answers those questions with "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on YouTube . 00:00 Clips! 00:56 Welcome - Cameron King episode 02:30 Thom's Intro - Co-founding @farmkind - "What's the thing I can do best... to tackle the issue of factory farming?"... "We believe the single biggest thing... is to donate to the right charities... we help people to do that" - Finding charities that do great work and making donating to those charities super-easy 03:44 What's Real? - A very, very religious family "church is an integral part... of their worldview... also social structures" - "Broadly a positive thing" - Anglican, Church of England Christian - Asking philosophical questions that "hit up against some bible verse or god - and that's the end of the conversation" - Conversations with some Christians about animals: "Humans are made in the image of god... we are above other animals... that is kind of the end of the conversation" - "As someone who increasingly... took the suffering of animals very seriously... I don't think that's where the conversation should end... and for many Christians that's not where it ends" - "You can think that humans matter more than animals and still think that animals do matter" - "We can still agree on basic things like 'suffering is bad'...

Bill Wasik is the editorial director of The New York Times Magazine. Monica Murphy is a veterinarian and a writer. Their previous book, Rabid: A Cultural History of the World’s Most Diabolical Virus, was a Los Angeles Times best seller and a finalist for the PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. Their latest book, "Our Kindred Creatures" makes a case for seeing the fight against animal cruelty as a crucial thread in America's history. Readers are introduced to the activists, scientists, andmoguls who helped create our modern views on animals, with our intense compassion for certain species and ignorant disregard for others. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the most important questions: “what’s real?”, “who matters?” and "how can we make a better world?" Sentientism answers those questions with "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on YouTube . 00:00 Clips! 01:09 Welcome - "Our Kindred Creatures" as an example of Sentientist History? 03:30 Monica and Bill's Intros - Writing two books together: Rabid and Our Kindred Creatures - "...Monica's interest in animals [as a veterinarian] that I think got me interested" - Telling the story of how the animal welfare movement came to the USA in the decades after the civil war - The emergence of the modern way of thinking about animals "some of them are like members of the family... others of them in huge numbers are excluded..." - "Everyday people in cities... were living among all kinds of animals in a way that feels very foreign to us today" 07:18 What's Real? - Meeting in a church youth group, Bill's family more devout than Monica’s - "It was not a creationist church... there was a sense that we weren't going to doubt what science was telling us just because we were part of a religious tradition that had a different story" - "'In a world in which there's no god why should we care at all about human suffering?'... runs implicitly through the book - many of the people we write about are religious" - Links between religion, the abolition of slavery and animal ethics "though of course the slavers themselves had various bible verses that they waved around" - "Today we're Unitarian Universalists... go to church on Sundays and Bill sings in the choir" - "Our Unitarian church is a very humanist church... animals don’t' come up much... some other Unitarian churches have animal affinity groups" - "There are also a lot of atheistic Unitarians... our church leans atheistic... the younger people even more so" - "Whatever concept of god that I have wouldn't conform with traditional ones - it's more notional" - "We came back to religion because of our son... he was a very loud atheist... a disrespectful atheist... we wanted him to expand his thinking" - "Even though we occupy three different spots in our family on the atheistic side of the spectrum we're very at home in this church" 25:27 What and Who Matters? 52:43 A Better World? 01:12:27 Follow Bill and Monica - @murphydvm - @billwasik - Our Kindred Creatures And more... full show notes at Sentientism.info .

Jesse Tandler is Managing Director of New Roots Institute . He oversees programming, people operations, and implementation of New Roots Institute's strategy. Jesse is a writer, academic, and has been an educator for nearly two decades. He earned a B.A. from UC Berkeley in 2002 and an MFA from the New School in 2007. Shortly thereafter, he began teaching high school students about the ethics of our food culture. Later, during his PhD work, Jesse continued to include environmental and animal ethics on the syllabi of his undergraduate classes at the City University of New York, where for five years he taught philosophy, literature, writing, and rhetoric. In 2017, he moved to Los Angeles to apply his years of research and educational experience in the non-profit sphere. Outside of New Roots Institute, you may find him practicing yoga, appreciating beauty in its myriad forms, reading in one of his preferred languages, or teaching food politics at UCLA.

Arran Stibbe is Professor in Ecological Linguistics at the University of Gloucestershire. In his teaching and research he focuses on how language makes us who we are as people, and the role of language in building the kind of society we live in, using discourse analysis and ecolinguistics. Ecolinguistics examines how language encodes the stories we live by, and shapes how we see ourselves and our relationship with other animals and the earth. This involves linguistic analysis of a wide range of discourses, from advertising which encourages people to buy unnecessary and ecologically damaging products, to the inspirational language of nature writing. He is founder of the International Ecolinguistics Association . In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the most important questions: “what’s real?”, “who matters?” and "how can we make a better world?" Sentientism answers those questions with "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings."

It's a crystal clear worldview that you're expressing... it's an important message that needs to get out there." - Arran's book "Econarrative" 03:39 Arran's Intro - Ecological linguistics... "I get to analyse any kind of discourse that I want to... then I critique the stories that are emerging... based on my ecological philosophy... respecting living beings and wanting them to flourish" - Discourses from Men's Health magazine to the Pork industry handbook to nature poetry, creation stories... "positive ones and negative ones" - "Searching for new stories to live by" - Consulting with @greenpeace and others on messaging - Stories... Ben Okri: "Stories are the secret reservoirs of values... if we change the stories that individuals and nations live by then we change the individuals and nations themselves" - "If we pay careful attention to the language we can understand these stories that fundamentally underpin our unequal and unsustainable and quite cruel society" - Stories as "cognitive models in our minds that influence how we think, how we talk and how we act"... individuals and across a culture e.g. "The masculine man being strong & not showing emotions & eating lots of meat... a hegemonic story" - Narrative: "A more traditional kind of story you might tell to children at bedtime... sequences of events..." - "I would go with this #meme idea... but I think it's even more fundamental than that... so much of what we're thinking is part of this wider social cognition..." - "Is it a simplification to think of a separate being... you wouldn't exist for more than a few minutes on your own in space... your continued existence depends on breathing..." 11:27 What's Real? 26:35 What and Who Matters? 46:15 A Better World? & much more.

Leigh Claire La Berge is Professor in City University of New York 's English Department. Her work focuses on aesthetics and political economy. Her first book, "Scandals and Abstraction: Financial Fiction of the Long 1980s", tracked the convergences of finance, realism and postmodernism in literature and culture throughout the 1980s in the United States. Her second book, "Wages Against Artwork: Decommodified Labor and the Claims of Socially Engaged Art" explored the twin rise of new forms of socially engaged art alongside what she called "decommodified labor," or labor that is not recompensed. Along with Alison Shonkwiler, Leigh Claire is the co-editor of the collection, "Reading Capitalist Realism". She recently published a book about animality and economy entitled "Marx for Cats: A Radical Bestiary". She is working on a new book called "Fake Work: How I Began to Suspect that Capitalism is a Joke" about her experience with corporate labor, Y2K, and management consultants. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the most important questions: “what’s real?”, “who matters?” and "how can we make a better world?"

I want to believe that there's a ghost in the machine although I know there isn't" - Celtic confluence of the ephemeral and the tangible "intertwined together... I very much believe in the concrete real but also I like to think there's things we don't know and we don't understand yet... we should always be trying to find out more." - "Maybe it's just... physical energy... but I like to think there's something beyond us... hope there's some other... maybe there's some hope that they could come and help us get everything right." Devon: - "It's really complex being a human sometimes." - #catholic family and school "very strict catholic teaching" - "Religion never really resonated with me" - "The teacher was telling us that animals don't have souls...

This episode is a cross-post of my discussion with Richard Brown on his Consciousness Live YouTube podcast . Make sure you go and subscribe there too. Richard is a professor of philosophy at City University of New York. His work is focused on the philosophy of mind, consciousness studies, and the foundations of cognitive science but he also works on the philosophy of language, metaethics, philosophy of physics, logic and the philosophy of logic, as well as the history of philosophy. As you can imagine, this made it an enjoyably brain-stretching conversation for me. Richard was also my guest on Sentientism way back on episode 57 if you want to see the tables turned the other way around. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did talking with Richard - feedback and suggestions are always welcome. As ever I'm only one Sentientist so others will disagree!

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.
