Friends this conversation tackles some of the objections to veganism that previously I might have steered clear of tackling! Some words can be used effectively to nudge a well intentioned white skinned animal rights activist off track.

Veganism is a Privilege Debunked with Aditya Prakash from Soytheist.

Aditya (https://www.soytheist.com/ &amp; https://www.youtube.com/c/Soytheist) is an animal rights advocate from Assam in India. His @Soytheist YouTube channel focuses on taking a straightforward &amp; rational approach to animal rights, identity politics &amp; occasionally religion &amp; atheism. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what’s real?” &amp; “what matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason &amp; compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on YouTube https://youtu.be/A1a6z-uX6no We discuss: 0:00 Welcome  1:17 Aditya's Intro - rational animal rights - Having the "luxury" of being able to take a direct approach  3:10 What's Real? - India as a religious country - Growing up with religious parents who didn't push religion - Asking deep questions as a child &amp; being handed Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" - Never believing in god "There is not sufficient evidence to support the claims." - Criticising religion requires more caution than discussing atheism - "A straightforward reading of a lot of religious scripture leads to conclusions &amp; worldviews that are completely at odds with what a regular person would consider to be moral" - But "No matter what the scripture says you can bend it" so "the vast majority of religious people are perfectly moral people" - The mental gymnastics of adapting religious ethics (e.g. rejecting homophobia)  12:00 What Matters? - I can ground my morality as well as a Christian or a Muslim can. But not in a perfectly objective way - Every sentient values it's own suffering &amp; flourishing - If our suffering &amp; flourishing matters, so does that of others - Growing up in a "heavy meat-eating culture" in North-Eastern India - In Western countries the slaughter is hidden away. That's not the case in much of India  - Visiting a market at age 14 to buy goat meat. Seeing the terror in a baby goat's eyes as it was picked up &amp; seeing another trying to hide. Thinking "that's exactly what I would do." "Don't kill him." - Discovering animal rights philosophy online - "This is the greatest moral emergency of our time &amp; I have been contributing to this horrifying atrocity" - Going vegetarian then learning about dairy &amp; going vegan - "What happened to you? - you've become like those 'mainland' Indians" - "There's a notion that veganism requires economic privilege - That's nonsense" - "The only people claiming that are those that think a Starbucks latte is a basic need" - The cheapest foods in the market were plant-based - "Pure veg" &amp; caste purity - can hinder the fight for animal rights. It's about purity, not compassion ... and much more. Full show notes at sentientism.info and YouTube.

70: "Social progress is ultimately inevitable" - @Soytheist Aditya Prakash - Sentientist Conversation

On the tenth episode of The Indoencers Podcast, I had the opportunity to have a chat with the incredible Aditya Prakash. We spoke about his struggles of dealing with the conflict in cultures between India and the Bay Area in the United States, how going on a tour with Ravi Shankar at the age of 16 quashed many of his internal struggles, the impact of hyper-consumerism in the music scene today, among many other topics. Plus, there's some lovely singing at the end :) We hope you enjoy this episode!Follow Aditya:Instagram WebsiteFacebookTwitterFollow Us:Instagram FacebookTwitterHomepagePhoto Credits: 1 &amp; 2
