A channel featuring long-form conversations about the big questions with Philip Goff, Joe Folley, Tim Maudlin, William Lane Craig, and many others. I aim to work my way through the problems of philosophy, religion, science, and the existential struggle with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — similar to Alex O'Connor, but more American. Who wants to come along for the ride?

On account of a major PhD deadline that transpired on Thursday, I elected to skip the upload this week. Forgive me. But next week’s is a banger.

Another publication in the books! This one is probably the most technically sophisticated of my papers so far. I survey objections like, "A supernatural designer would have no need for fine-tuning!" a la Sean Carroll. Spoiler: it's a bad objection. Hope you like it! Available here: philpapers.org/rec/DONIFE

I've decided to graduate from an iPhone to a real honest to God camera. First to donate $1,000 will get a solid handshake if we ever meet in person. (The second to donate gets nothing.)

Following my eight-person debate yesterday (to be published soon), I've decided to write a paper tentatively titled, "Awesome theistic evidence, analyzed". The idea is to offer the first analysis of the "ATE" strategy for undermining objections to theistic arguments. There isn't a ton of literature focused just on ATE, but I know there are some Substack posts out there. If you've got any references, do please drop them below!

In even bigger news than getting a paper published, I finally met Joe Folley in person! Woohoo! (I've known Amos for a while and he's also great.)

A nicely done response video to my dialogue with ‪@untimelyreflections‬ on continental philosophy. It's worth the watch!
