The video version of our conversation is here on YouTube.

In these Sentientist Conversations (subscribe!), we talk about the two most important questions: “what’s real?” & “what matters?”. Sentientism is “evidence, commitment & compassion for all sentient beings.”

We discuss:

• Jasmin’s activist journey & roles (& books)
• Gaslighting re: animal agriculture
• 1980’s milk & meat marketing
• Atheism, naturalism, comparative religion
• Compassion in religion, but also serious ethical problems
• Growing up as a reform Jew, celebrating Christmas & Hannukah
• The mental gymnastics more “moderate” religions (like reform Judaism) have to do to move away from the harmful ethics at the core of many religions
• Humanism’s focus on the human species
• Do kids start out naturalistic and then get taught fabrications?
• And much more...
