Eva Meijer is a philosopher, novelist, poet, and visual artist whose work explores nonhuman animals, politics, language, and multispecies relationships. In this conversation, Sentientism episode 246, we cover:- What living with 25 ex-laboratory mice taught her about life, death, and what matters- Why our disconnection from animals is both alienating and destructive- How fiction and poetry might reveal truths that philosophy and science can't- Their vision for multispecies assemblies. Bringing nonhuman animals, plants, future generations and more into political deliberation- Whether plants matter morally and what that means for agriculture and veganism- Art made with and for nonhuman audiences. Including a fountain designed for birds and insects, not for humansEva's work challenges us to move beyond abolishing exploitation toward genuinely sharing the world, politically, ethically, and creatively, with the other beings we share it with.Follow Eva:- https://www.evameijer.nl/ - https://sentientism.info/sentientist-pledge/eva-meijer 00:00 Clips00:48 Welcome03:28 Eva's Intro05:12 What's Real?33:17 What Matters?47:10 Who Matters?01:12:11 A Better World?Full show notes are at…
