33

Hello friends, today is my 33rd birthday. 😊

I’d like to share a tiny slice of my life story from when I was about 15 years old, from when I was an atheist:

The more I write this newsletter, the more a vague purpose is taking shape: to build a sales funnel for God, from the angle of trusting truth.

This is what a sales funnel looks like

The layers look sort of like this —

• Psycho-economics — how we decide what to believe

• Defense against the dark arts — how this is used against us

• Tactical epistemology — how to make smart decisions about what to believe, when everyone is trying to deceive you

• The crucial role of emotions, pain, and the will

• How to exercise the the will to build trust in truth

• Morality as the epistemic immune system

• Holiness as the goal of epistemology / knowledge

• Truth as a force of nature

• Christ as Truth incarnate, allowing us to take the phrase “relationship with truth” in a literal sense

Small birthday request

Could you reply to this email with your answer to this question:
