I’m working to build a global movement around the moral philosophy of Sentientism (basically secular humanism extended to grant moral consideration to all sentient beings). It has much in common with EA values, of course—although it’s explicitly naturalistic.
The community is new and small (although people from 56 countries involved so far in our main FaceBook group) - but anecdotally I’ve seen a fairly balanced mix of H1-H2-H3 so far. For some, sentientism just gives a name to a philosophy they already held (roughly humanism + ~veganism). For others, it’s more novel and has led to different personal and institutional decisions.
It might prove an interesting case study at some point.
Thanks—interesting perspectives.
