I think it’s great, Matt—a perfect little Substack entry.
It even ties in somewhat with the one I posted this morning, which is essentially about how the road to classical theism can be motivated (or at least it was for me) by the desire to avoid skepticism—in other words, to make the best sense of our strongest pre-philosophical (basic) beliefs, like belief in the external world, moral facts, contingency, other minds, and so on.
Apologies for some of the grammatical errors. I also made a couple of philosophical blunders that I will fix when I am in front of my computer. I find it publishing the Substack motivates me to put stuff out quicker and so I really appreciate everybody’s feedback.
I’ve really been enjoying these dialogues, Matt. Hope to see more of them, and all the best to you in 2025.
Wow thanks man! Always open to critique so I can rewrite better!

Looking forward to seeing the new studio—praying for your efforts!
These continue to get better, and feel more like a real conversation. Bravo.
The introduction to this one was a lot of fun too.
Matt's been on an epistemology kick and I'm here for it
