Why is it so difficult to understand. That there is a big difference between saying that someone's death doesn't affect you because you don't know the person and saying that you find it funny that someone is shot dead because you don't agree with someone's political opinion. People who think like Destiny are dangerous to society. Whether you like it or not people have different opinions, they don't have to die for that. If you think so, then you don't belong in a free society.

He could've just denounced it while adding a caveat. So, I understood his point, but a guy getting randomly killed is probably not the best circumstance to express that message. Nevertheless, it was an edgy take, not a mindless one. He's literally so correct on everything. One edgy take doesn't negate that.

Such a bad faith narrative. It's clarified explicitly at 2:31:41 what destiny meant. Good podcast. The more I listen to him the more he makes sense.

[@hubbabubba8083]

I was super conservative when i first stumbled upon him but his thinking is logical. I don’t agree with everything he does especially now, but he can explain and argue through any of what he says. He is absolutely abrasive to those he disagrees with but that grit smoothed out the concepts in a way that helps me to settle on what is right.

"TDS" is unfortunately one of the most succinct and yet effective ad hom attacks we've seen recently. Three simple letters that attempt to undercut any substantive claim without actually addressing it in any way shape or form. But it is par for the course. Trump and those who defend him have made great strides with simple sloganeering.

I may not agree with him on everything but at least I know I can trust the things he espouses

[@billybobthornton9668]

@vanessa4truth297 Watched him for years now and he's become one of, if not the, most grounded commentators. Like you say, he puts the work in so that he can come to a conclusion, rather than cheerleading a side and post hoc reasoning to a position. His approach to Israel Gaza are a great example and while I may disagree on some elements, he's always totally across the facts and assigns conviction relative to the significance of those facts. On that basis, he's always worth listening to, even if I come away disagreeing sometimes, I'll have rigorously challenged my views and reached a better understanding which fulfills my most valued goal when listening to people in this space.

As it implies, he was not the first to say it.

Too bad America was never, and will never, be a democracy. I love when two foxes and a rabbit argue over whats for dinner.

[@sorsocksfake]

@@EarnedSalvation The word for that issue is 'majoritarianism'; which can exist in both. Typically the alternative in both is 'constitutionalism', or liberal checks and balances more broadly. At least in the west, systems of both names tend to be constitutional. Formally, republics are defined by having a president rather than a monarch. They can however be oligarchies. Democracies are defined by the power residing with the populace (typically representative through Congress). They are allowed to have a figurehead monarch, or can be part of a dual system (e.g. UK). The two, as such, do not contradict. France and the US are democratic republics, at least on paper. That of course is a significant note. Russia is a republic, but it might as well be a monarchy. The Netherlands is a monarchy, but de facto a republic, while the Dutch Republic frequently was a monarchy. Nobody knows what the UK is, least of all the British. The Democratic Party acts much as an oligarchy, while the Republican Party's leader is seen by many as a pseudo-monarch. We'll not even get into "democratic peeople's republics" ;). Anwyay, enough rambling.

[@roymarshall_]

@@EarnedSalvation America is a democracy. Democracy is an extremely broad term that basically just means "through some system, the population votes for the government they want". Whether that is through representatives or directly voting on policies or whatever. That is all democracy is. I see people confuse this with the concept of "direct democracy" which is a more specific system. Yes, certainly America is not and has never been a direct democracy. But America IS a democracy.

[@maydaymemer4660]

His idea that american democracy is better than all the alternatives is laughable. Ranked choice voting is better, proportional representation is better than an EC, having a cabinet you can vote on individually is better than having a president that appoints people himself.

[@e.9579]

I think a better analogy for the “stubbed toe” concept would be: If you’ve ever had a spider on you and you see it, you deal with it, know the danger has passed and move on. If someone falsely tells you there’s a spider on you, you panic and start searching for something that’s not there while begging the person whom has told you to save you from the spider. If there were substantial empirical evidence in public information of election interference- we would deal with the problem, ease minds, and increase faith in the system. When you have a party telling you there’s election interference while having no empirical evidence, it creates panic and makes them believe that the only solution is to seek help from the people whom have told you there’s a problem.

[@natpeach444]

[@quantvminquizitor]

And yet every single common sense proposal to strengthen the integrity and minimize the potential for election malfeasance is met with extreme resistance by the other party... There is substantial evidence. That it has not been spoon fed to you by the corporate media nor have you been motivated to expend the minimal amount of time and energy required to research it, does not negate it's existence. But a problem is not actually a problem for people who perceive themselves as being the beneficiaries of the consequences, and nobody likes to admit when they have been played for a fool.

[@eeeriebrilliance]

Great analogy! My question is at what point does an adult person say, "Hey, wait a minute... the same people keep telling me I have a spider on me but I never actually see it and it never does anything to me, even if it IS there, so it's possible they aren't telling the truth or maybe these so calleds piders just aren't that dangerous"?

Reminds me of Alan Watts talking about this very point about how problems used to be based on things that were more concrete. Like war over a woman (Troy).

Our job is to counter stupidity when it occurs... but it almost seems that Destiny is so willing to call everyone dumb that when's called dumb for doing that repeatedly... he word rather paint those criticising him in a polarised way to avoid actually having to self-reflect on that.

He literally let Peterson walk away thinking he'd dunked on the libtards in one fell swoop just because Stephen sat there and let him ramble on nonsensically. I've been curious if if he was just bored by grandpa's inanity or if he was thinking it was so silly it wasn't worth the time..

Agree. I used to really enjoy his content not because I always agreed with him (and I still don't on some things) but because I could at least see he was following a logical thought process, arguing in good faith, and we had a common goal and disagreed on things that are reasonable to have disagreements about. But it became impossible to watch him be so passive with not just conservative but absolutely batshit commentators that they became somehow aligned or put in the same group even though they actually disagreed so heavily. Hearing him say that is on the one hand depressing because I really wish it was possible to just have good faith discussions and bring people over slowly, but also really vindicating and positive because I think it's a much better direction for him to go until the conservative thought window is back into a normal area.

[@raincadeify]

@@fu5ha_edits An apt analysis.

[@Supercalifragilisticexpial-r2x]

I think he originally thought there was credence to the right wing positions. Partly this was due to his desire to distance himself from the left. It was cathartic for him to find comradery in a mutual dislike of the left. But he decided to be too friendly to the right. He wasn't willing to call out their hate based motivations because he thought he needed to make that concession in order to be in the same room as these conservatives. Now after he looks back at his last 2 yrs in the road with the likes of pbd, he understands that he surrendered his biggest weapon by not basing his arguments on the fundamental and in in my opinion correct principle that right wingers never argue in hood faith. You only have to peel the onion back a few layers to see the pettiness and feelings based reasons for their motives. They go low when making their points by attacking the motives of their opponents. Destiny failed to understand how critical it was to do likewise when debating these reactionaries.

[@raincadeify]

@@Supercalifragilisticexpial-r2x Yes, he was definitely taken in by the idea of being platformed by the leading far right figures of social media. I think this was around the time he permanently lost his twitch stream (from saying blm protestors should be mowed down, etc) and he might have just been trying to replace lost income. I wondered if he was about to go the way of Rogan (for years claimed to be a centrist Dem and now is a full on right winger) and Pool and Rubin. His performance at the LF "debate" on Palestine was appalling. And letting people like Shapiro and Peterson, who aren't even close to his intellectual equal, burble out their nonsense unchallenged and call it a debate was inexplicable. Thankfully I didn't catch the Bet David one (sounds gross), but I did see PBD's exchange with David Pakman, and that was entertaining.

[@dcgamer1027]

1:23:28 I 100% agree this is the best strategy to employ. I'm not sure how Destiny will respond but I would argue he is leaving this option open. On the Piers Mogan show he was asked to denounce the shooting, he said he would not do it but that was not the only thing he said, he said that he would do it if the other members of the panel denounced Jan 6 as an insurrection. That to me is leaving the door open for the opnent to act in good faith, but they refused to and hit him again to he responded in kind. As I understand it Destiny's point is that the repulicans are employing a strategy that is essential tat tat tat with no corrective positive tit while he and other people on the left has been doing tit tat tit. By giving that good faith option after every single action you are dishing out half the relations that you should be for optimal game theory. The optimal strategy they found was enough punishment to matter and then offering a hand at the end, you must retialate enough to ensure your own survival first, then offer a hand to go from survival to flourishing. It's a difficult concept for me to describe so hopefully some of this made sense, but I think its something like that.

One was private and the other public. Let me explain. There were thousands of men, women and children in attendance at the rally. If the gunman were successful and trump got his brains blown out, imagine the mental scars that would have marked the lives of all those in attendance...... especially the children.

Feel like a lot of Tom fans are missing the point of this episode - to me as a fan I’ve subscribed because I’ve agreed to go on the journey with Tom as he continues to nurture his perspective of the world - to observe how Tom builds his communication skills . I’ve never once created the expectation that information that’s comes out of a podcast should be taken as is - rather is it is grossly filtered through the topics constrained by the interviewer, in this case Tom. To me this is just one of Tom next chapters in building skills talking about controversial subject matters where splintering occurs across a vast spectrum of belief but is generally only labeled into a binary. And while others say that Tom is perhaps narrowed in his interest in covering only two sides (“both”) of the conversation - regardless of the multiple potential bins of ideologies (republic vs democrat vs “other”) this is where we are as a society. Constructing these stereotypes helps provide a jump point for us to begin figuring out the nuances of others perspectives - regardless of how flawed that initial assumption. Long story short - here for Tom’s skill building exercise/ exploration into what may seem to others as non representative of the “other side” or a form of irrationality.

Tom's responsibility is to curate the content so that the viewers time is not waisted. Our time on earth is limited, spending our time on things that have low value is squandering our time. A counterpoint from someone genuinely intelligent would have been great. This person is of very average intelligence. There are some VERY smart liberals. This guy, is not one of them. The average lifespan is less than 720,000 hours, Tom just caused thousands of people to waste a couple of them. Shame on Tom.

Toward the beginning, the guy said that Destiny is a really good debater. His justification? He gets lots of views. This is precisely the problem, these days. People have become so dumbed down that they genuinely believe that's a rational criteria for how it's determined if someone debated well or not. The number of views (which, btw, is easily controlled by the algorithms).

Just found this channel and love it! Our world would be a better place if we all approached every discussion with curiosity and an aim to understand. Cheers! 🙌

[@lighterpath5998]

You found this capable of scratching your curiosity itch? That's surprising. I would encourage you to lose your curiosity right now about politics, because finding the truth in a world were the original lies were laid back some eight years ago, has divided this nation and it takes going back eight years to unravel the true truth. It's not an easy journey, and if you take a path to the right you will believe the right. If you take the path to the left you will believe the left. Going the middle road and only looking at the data points with your own mind, rather than being told what they mean, is a hard job. Most can't or won't do it. It's a more peaceful world where you are, just now becoming curious. But it's dangerous, where your mind will go if you don't guide it yourself. Good luck in whatever you do.

[@PatheticApathetic]

I don’t understand how someone could argue that Americans used to have shared values, and now we don’t. We’re talking about a country that had a civil war just 100 years after it was founded. Then a massive civil rights movement in the next hundred, which coincided with the red scare. It has obviously never been true that Americans had a core set of values that banded us all together.

[@bossybuddha]

Good conversation, Tom. Thank you! Good luck to you, Destiny!

[@apollodavis4090]

This comment section highlights the problem Destiny is talking about. People react first but don't wait to think because going against that emotional reaction makes them uncomfortable. The stronger the reaction is, worse it is to overcome it. And people have spent time in their echo chambers for a very long time.

[@BabySagan]

I agree with Destiny. No sympathy here. Do not advocate for violence. Just unaffected overall.

[@Solaris_Paradox]

Trump won lol Destiny is still a 4 ft Irish Leprechaun!

[@comfusedWorldpassanger3399]

So what's your take on this amiable dude?

[@cahzriel_wonka]

@@comfusedWorldpassanger3399 I think it's funny that people support Trump because of how he bullies people ("projects strength" ), makes up insults for his political opponents, talks about "2nd amendment people" taking care of others, but lose their mind when a liberal doesn't show sympathy for violence enacted on one of his supporters (by another conservative, to boot). Truly the dankest timeline. If this amiable dude were actively calling for violence it would be heinous and disgusting, but all he's doing is saying he doesn't have any sympathy for it, which is completely understandable in this context.

[@Tiasung]

@@cahzriel_wonka Should have left it with your top comment dude. With this one you are just taking your mask off. Trump is not the bully here. He doesnt assassinate, jail or use mass media to demonize or suppress people.

[@comfusedWorldpassanger3399]

@@cahzriel_wonka Well, if you think I support Trump because of the assassination attempt, you are wrong. I voted for him in -16, and will do so again this year because Trump IS the best candidate to lead the United States. And the world.

I dont think he and people like him are realising they are causing a massive wave of people waking the f up as a result. Constantly being confronted with opposite-to-reality- takes will easily make normal people second guess everything and check their heads.

[@bluepeteblue]

re audio sync: it's possible that your wide camera is set at a different frame rate. so if each of the close-ups are at 30fps and the wide is at 24fps, then when you go to sync to one audio track there will be a drift in the 24fps image. Just a thought. Love the content nonetheless!
