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

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.
