Episode 50: Are you a Sentientist?, with Jamie Woodhouse

In this episode, we are joined today by Jamie Woodhouse, the host of the Sentientism Podcast and YouTube channel. We learn about “sentientism” – the idea that we should have moral concern for all sentient creatures – and what its ethical consequences are. We also find out, among other things, whether a “True Sentientist” can eat honey or own a pet.In the bonus section, available exclusively to Patreon supporters, we ask Jamie whether he has come across any stereotypically obnoxious vegans in real life, and his thoughts on vegan cuisine. We also ask him about his thoughts on the recent controversy at Google about the potential creation of a sentient artificial intelligence.Find out more about Sentientism: https://sentientism.info/Sentientism YouTube channel: ​​https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMfzOpbOeXRhZBXYRHkpPEg/videos Sentientism podcast: ​​https://pod.link/1540408008 Sentientism Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sentientism Sentientism on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sentientism Sentientism on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sentientism/ For more on Jamie: https://jamiewoodhouse.com/ Follow Nathan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NathGAlexander Nathan’s website: https://www.nathangalexander.com/ If you find the podcast valuable and want to support it, check out our Patreon page, where you will also find bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/beyond_atheism We are grateful for every contribution.Beyond Atheism is produced and distributed by Atheists United Studios: https://www.atheistsunited.org/podcasts
