Even as our knowledge grows, why do cruelty, environmental destruction, and the abuse of animals continue to remain a part of modern civilization? In this thought-provoking conversation at the London School of Economics, Professor Jonathan Birch and Acharya Prashant explore one of the most urgent ethical questions of our time through the lens of animal consciousness. Beginning with the science of sentience and animal minds, the dialogue gradually expands into a deeper inquiry touching upon veganism, climate change, artificial intelligence, law, education, and the nature of compassion itself. The discussion questions whether better laws, improved technology, or scientific progress alone can transform the way we live. It invites us to examine why humanity continues to create suffering despite knowing so much, and whether lasting change begins not merely with new systems, but with a deeper understanding of ourselves and our relationship with life. This dialogue explores what our treatment of other living beings reveals about the kind of civilization we are creating. Key Themes: - What does animal consciousness really mean? - Can science and law create genuine compassion? - Why does exploitation persist despite human progress? ➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🎧 Listen to #AcharyaPrashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f0KFweIdHB0vfcoizFcET?si=c8f9a6ba31964a06 Music Credits: Milind Date ~ ~
