[close] "Sentientism is an ethical philosophy that grants degrees of moral consideration to all sentient beings. Sentientism extends humanism by showing compassion for non-human animals as well as potential artificial and alien intelligences. In common with humanism, sentientism rejects supernatural beliefs in favour of critical, evidence-based thinking." - Wikipedia

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] This is just a little group I've put together out of boredom! If you're like me and have lots of good/stupid ideas that need to be spread to the world, this is the place for you! But first, just a bit of info on what this group is intended to be like. I'll try to consolidate it. - You will probably be better off if you know a lot of things and have a desire to discuss big ideas, like religion (non-controversial) and philosophy! Of course, you can join anyway. Big ideas won't be the only thing discussed here. I have a feeling that there will be lots of talks about anime. If that's what people actually care about that is. - Expect stupidity. Topics normally reserved for dignified nerdy people will be discussed here, and while a vast majority of people here will probably be nerds - like me - there will be pure stupid things said. And that's okay, stupid things are sometimes the most entertaining. - You probably saw this coming, but more than just books will be discussed here. However, feel free to discuss books if you'd like!
