Welcome to episode 184 of the Sentientism Podcast. A podcast about what's real, who matters and how we can make a better world.
The Sentientism worldview answers those deep questions by committing to evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings.
This episode is a bonus cross-post of my discussion with Ariel Pontes. His Ghostless Machine podcast includes a series of dialogues where he has friendly disagreements over controversial topics with a variety of guests. I had the pleasure of being his first. Make sure you go and subscribe.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did talking to Ariel - feedback and suggestions are always welcome. As ever I'm only one Sentientist so others will disagree!
In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the three most important questions: “what’s real?”, “what (and who) matters?” and "how can we make a better future?"
The Sentientism worldview answers those questions with a commitment to "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings."

Thanks to Tarabella and Denise for chipping in with our production costs via the secret(ish) Sentientism Patreon.
