The mycelium is sentient.

This series postulates a galaxy in which sentient organic life is in constant warfare with sentient electromechanical life.

Their billboards are manuals, prayers to the well being of all sentient creatures.

like, you know, shoes, leather belts, handbags, etc., where no sentient creature is harmed.

So I can actually pick a species on a planet and then make them sentient.

Sentiocentrism is the theory that sentient individuals are the subject of moral concern and therefore deserve rights.

There's no data point that will confirm or deny whether somehow something was designed by some type of sentient creator.

The best response to this argument is that the wrongness of causing needless suffering to sentient beings is not culturally specific.

All kinds of possible sentient beings may be interconnected through this system, and I can't wait to see these experiments unfold.

These aren't sentient beings, but how do they know when to pick up the oxygen and when to drop off the oxygen?

But flu , you can kind of think of them as being tricky, but they are not really tricky, they are not sentient objects.

We print geometry where we can make industrial design objects like, you know, shoes, leather belts, handbags, etc., where no sentient creature is harmed.

Long before Western philosophers included animals in their ethics, Chinese philosophers like Zhuangzi said that love should permeate relations not only between humans, but between all sentient beings.

We asked meditators, who have been doing that for years and years, to put their mind in a state where there's nothing but loving kindness, total availability to sentient being.

And what you've seen tonight tells you that we should not restrict this network to one species, that these other intelligent, sentient species should be part of the system too.

For centuries, humans in industrialized countries have treated animals as units of production, rather than as sentient beings with a moral status that requires us to take their interests into account.

We asked meditators, who have been doing that for years and years and years, to put their mind in a state where there's nothing but loving kindness, total availability to sentient being.

Publicity for the new film claims that it is the first live action film in the history of movies to star, and be told from the point of view of, a sentient animal.

The best response to this argument is that the wrongness of causing needless suffering to sentient beings is not culturally specific. It is, for example, one of the first precepts of one of Japan s major ethical traditions, Buddhism.

One can see, in historical record, it expanding from the village, to the clan, to the tribe, to the nation, to other races, to both sexes, and, in Singer's own arguments, something that we should extend to other sentient species.

There are good grounds for objecting to turning a sentient being into a patented laboratory tool, but it is not so easy to see why patent law should not cover newly designed bacteria or algae, which can feel nothing and may be as useful as any other invention.

So that night, we began to dream, and we thought, perhaps the most amazing tool that man's created is the Internet, and what would happen if we could somehow find new interfaces, visual audio interfaces that would allow these remarkable sentient beings that we share the planet with access?

Once we're prepared to admit that after all, we're not the only beings with personalities, minds and above all feelings, and then we start to think about ways we use and abuse so many other sentient, sapient creatures on this planet, it really gives cause for deep shame, at least for me.

Or, is it possible that we're just a branch off of a multiverse each branch with its own Big Bang in its past maybe some of them with black holes playing drums, maybe some without maybe some with sentient life, and maybe some without not in our past, not in our future, but somehow fundamentally connected to us?
