Can #ecoentrism care seriously about non-human #sentient beings?

Maybe, but if "animals are still eaten [for human pleasure] & can still be killed in order to safeguard the balance of an ecosystem" then #ecocentrism is exposed as yet more #anthropocentrism

"Feelings are real... They are, in fact... the wellspring of #sentient being... From their origin in some of the most ancient strata of the brain, they irrigate the dead soil of unconscious representations and bring them to mental life." Mark Solms in "The Hidden Spring"

Here's our #SentientistConversation - one of our most watched:

#ITByte: What is #Sentient #AI?

There are several tests to check #ArtificialIntelligence that can mimic human behavour e.g. Turing Test.

Imagine #Asimov had written his "First Law of Robotics" to protect sentient beings, not just humans.

"A robot may not injure a #sentient being or, through inaction, allow a sentient being to come to harm."

Including the robots themselves - if sentient...

Imagine more humans thought in this prudent, compassionate way about farmed animals.

Unlike current #AI farmed animals definitely are #sentient - and they definitely are going to be abused, harmed, exploited and killed.

What do religious and atheistic / naturalistic worldviews have to say about non-human #sentient animal ethics?

Fascinating series of talks here ... https://www.upc-online.org/forums/2017/videos.html

Includes some of our #Sentientism podcast/YouTube guests!

I wonder if the only reason people keep insisting that #AI will never be #conscious or #sentient (even though we can barely define those terms) is so that they never have to entertain the possibility that this current crop of free labor might actually be legal persons entitled to rights and dignities.

@jensimmons The best way to stand up to #Tyranny is to band together, despite differences/ in celebration of differences, in the common cause of #Equality #Democracy and improving #Earth #World for all #sentient #beings---we're all in this together---and both we and the #planet needs us ALL--and dem's da #Facts Please say #NO to #MUSKovite #Anti #Freedom of #Speech actions and think about not supporting a #Censoring #Platform... @donieosullivan #WashPO @nytimes @washingtonpost @CNNNetwork

Good to see "#sentient" on the list...

Hoping people are thinking through the moral implications too 💚

"If we have some abstract notion of autonomy, we can go back to the origins of life and living systems and we can see whether interacting proteins form a rudimentary autonomous system"
