There is no doubt that statement is veracious to a goodly extent, but a huge problem is how do we know what he said? I suspect that whatever points he made have been perverted to mean, in many cases, the exact opposite of what he intended.
BTW, thanks to your link, I stumbled upon this, which I think is relevant to the main topic and full of the truth.
Intellectual Vanity: The Lost Art Of Admitting Uncertainty
Such statements certainly are not meant to proclaim personal witness but simply the conviction - FAITH - of what IS true.
Without having read the text your comment is referring to, but the headline already expresses, what the core issue is for those who are UNABLE to have FAITH IN THE TRUTH by having been convinced to loose out by living under UNCERTAINTY. Which in and of itself is a burden on every man's heart but with PROPAGANDA AND BRAINWASHING of BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS it becomes a trap of EQUALLY BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS.
" I suspect that whatever points he made have been perverted to mean, in many cases, the exact opposite of what he intended."
... which is exactly the way JESUS CHRIST prophesied, that THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN is going to turn everything into its opposite and still make it APPEAR to represent THE TRUTH. Wolfs in sheep's clothing!
We are of like mind here as well except that I do not feel any sort of loss at having to live with uncertainty.
The link I posted deals, among other things, with the difficulties of discussing many things via comment threads and is an amusing (because it describes much of what takes place so accurately) read. It doesn't deal directly with metaphysical questions.
I could not agree more, except for the impression that it/ANYTHING has to do with metaphysics, unless one uses "metaphysics" - as all words should be - as an expression of undescribable - by physical/material properties - which goes beyond man's mind.
Btw I used to be a regular reader of the substack you referred to and its sister substack, as its long format of deep reasoning is the antidote to all the symptoms EVERYONE is complaining about, without recognising its own contribution based on short-termism.
And as time goes on and by patient, diligent, honest and humble surrender to WHAT IS - GOD ALMIGHTY (THE PAINTER) - one gets surprised again and again and again ... how things come to those accepting THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA ... providing what is NEEDED not to be confused with what is WANTED or with LAZINESS!
ALL LIES IN THE HOLY SPIRIT - the flesh being the result of it!
"...that it is an HONOUR not to be liked/'liked'"
We be speakin de same tongue!
Bless you!
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS ALWAYS CORRECT!
