About Sentientism
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). Naturalism & sentiocentrism combined. Find out more at https://sentientism.info/ or join a group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sentientism. Also on YouTube!

So he has a pluralistic view according to which, yeah, the reduction of intense suffering is extremely important. And so is respect for autonomy, individual rights, and also other, as far as I remember, he also sees even welfare as being more than just experiential. So there are other things that are also important, even though suffering is of central importance. […]
