Intellectual Conservatism recently held a discussion criticizing existential inertia. I don't think any of their criticisms work. In this two-part series, I explain why. Part 1 covers the first 75 minutes of their discussion. Part 2 covers the second 75 minutes of their discussion and should be posted within the next week (or so). NOTE (ADDED 3/21/26): This video represented my views at the time of recording. My views have changed since then, but I'm leaving the video up because it contains lots of helpful information, and also shows my thinking at the time. Outline 1:18:01 Am I obviously wrong? (No) 1:18:49 Gil on continuous recreation In part 2, I examine Christopher's criticisms, the distinction between essence and existence, and much more.
