In the UK I'm certified as a school speaker by RE Hubs: www.re-hubs.uk/hubs/london/speakers-presenters/. Encouragingly more and more religious & worldviews education teachers are integrating Sentientism into their lesson plans and curricula too.
It's summer and I don't have time for sentientism.😁😈 (- playing devil's advocate, but there's a partial truth there.) Keyword: worldview. I think sentientism is clearly superior to all the pseudo-worldviews most people hold dear: "My nation (whatever that is) above all the rest"; "my religion/my god (whatever that is) above all the rest"; "my species (whatever that is... - these are all mere constructs to serve our purposes, to derive some kind of identity value.) above all the rest". And let's not forget "my greed (economics😁) above all the rest." I could go on and on about other categories that form people's views of their identity and hence their worldview... Anyway, I applaud all the structure and you bring to this morally correct worldview. I find it irrefutable and "got it" right away. I came from the incomplete "Veganism & Ahimsa" bubble in your diagram. I feel more complete now.😁 (I'm serious!) You want identity with integrity? - Sentientism has it. I don't think most people worry about any occasional pangs of cognitive dissonance, nor is integrity much of a priority... ☹ Teaching kids is the right approach, maybe. - I hope so.
@@Sentientism I can see how social indoctrination can prevent people from getting to sentientism, but I can't see how social indoctrination would work once you've arrived at sentientism. (Just as I can't see how people can leave veganism once they've arrived there.) Incomprehensible to me... Comes back to identity I guess...
It's a worldview 😘. As you know by now it's not just a moral scope norm it's an epistemic one too. Hence "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings". Epistemological naturalism, sentiocentric moral scope and at least a non-maleficence moral obligation.

How do you manage to get into schools to reach out to kids?

@@Sentientism Here in Winnipeg, Canada, we struggle to get as much access to classrooms as the animal ag propaganda machine.

Thank you Roy. I hope so too. So many kids "get it" right away too. Before our social indoctrination kicks in anyway...

Imitating characteristics of sentience or consciousness
=/= capacity to have subject experience
Indeed - but behaviour/communications are one of the lines of inference we can use to set and adjust our credences about the sentience of others.
Is Sentientism a "world view" or is it merely an EXTREMELY imperfect moral norm?
It's a worldview 😘. As you know by now it's not just a moral scope norm it's an epistemic one too. Hence "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings". Epistemological naturalism, sentiocentric moral scope and at least a non-maleficence moral obligation.
