The flywheel of Substack is accelerating as the quantity of quality writing takes off. In the spirit of challenging convictions and understanding the why, hosting debates between prominent authors with differing perspectives could be a huge draw for Substack.

One of my favorite things to do when I was in college, twenty years ago, was to look up debates that challenged the very core of what I believed in. And I'd just lie down and listen to them, for days on end. It was so refreshing and never antagonistic—just me, the CD, and the screen. I love the idea of Substack putting that sort of constructive content that challenges one's thinking in front of us. Not to get us to rage engage, but to expand our thinking.
Love the idea Yuri! I think substack released "letters" which allows for this type of back and forth format.
