The Sentientism worldview is "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings". Simple yet radical.

Two things I’m confident are robustly positive in the face of epistemic and moral uncertainty:
1) Naturalistic “evidence & reason” understanding of reality
2) Sentiocentric “compassion for all sentient beings” moral scope.

As such, let's help everyone become far less susceptible to believing misinformation by improving their epistemology.

Yep #EpistemologyMatters, but it's sorely neglected. Just caring others and about the world isn't enough. You also need to understand the world well. Using evidence and reason is the best way.
That's why the #Sentientism worldview is "evidence, reason, and compassion for all sentient beings."

In a worldviews workshop this morning I asked a group of 60 kids: “Why do we care about humans?”
A 10-year-old girl immediately answered, “Because we have feelings.”
Yep 👍

When did you last think about your worldview?
Most people rarely think about their worldview.
That’s fine if it’s a good worldview.
But it’s dangerous if it’s a bad one.

Isn’t it weird how some victims seem to matter much less than others.
Their suffering or death just ignored or met with a shrug.
And how some perpetrators seem to matter much less than others.
Their oppression and violence just ignored or met with a shrug.

It’s good to reject all baseless discriminations & moral exclusions & oppressions.
But it’s also good to have a robust, positive reason for rejecting them.
Anthropocentrism (“we’re all human”) is not a robust reason.
Sentiocentrism (“we’re all sentient beings”) is.
