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.
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:
Which of these 9 bullet points are you most interested in?
Cheers,
—Mike
Morality as the epistemic immune system is a provocative idea. Would love to see how you explore that
