Happy Friday Truth Seekers and welcome to another episode of Truth Wanted! This week, ObjectivelyDan is joined by Jaime Woodhouse!
Our first caller is Mark from Pennsylvania asks if there is any way that life can persist without causing suffering to other entities. While there is evidence that plants release pheromones when they are damaged, there isn’t evidence indicating that they are sentient or that they suffer the same way that a farm animal would.
Next up is Tymm from Washington who is wondering about the sentientist position of euthanizing a suffering person or animal. This question is a tough one because while humans are in the unique position of giving consent, pets are not which puts the responsibility on their owner to do what they feel is best to minimize their companion’s suffering. Fantastic question Tymm!
Up next is Louie from Florida. The caller asks if sentientism can help in answering the question if life, complex or otherwise, exists elsewhere in the universe. Our hosts bring up the similar genetic patterns that all known life within our own planet shares, and argue that if there is life elsewhere, that there is a strong possibility that it has followed a similar sequence of change that we have seen over time here on Earth.
Joey from California calls in to discuss the ways that veganism is intersectional with other forms of injustice. The caller brings up the example of how the US government generally subsidizes meat and dairy rather than fruits and vegetables. Our hosts go on to discuss how we can oppose multiple forms of oppression at once, and how acknowledging and fighting injustice and suffering in one area doesn’t negate the injustice and suffering in another.
Louis from New York calls in to tell us his UFO sighting story from back when he was in LA. Thanks for sharing the fun story with all of Louis!
Our last caller is Malcolm from California who wants to talk about the reason for the commonality of various symbology across a multitude of various religions. The eels have ALL the answers you seek!
That’s all for this week folks! Thank you for tuning in to today's episode of Truth Wanted. If you want to see more of Jaime, check out the links below!
