[@SamHartwell420]

Hey, I really love hearing Destiny and Mr Beat interact. One of the parts that resonated with me was talking about the friend that had a kid and became a lot more right wing. I would say I grew up fairly conservative, but as I got older I started hearing better arguments for policies associated with the left. Healthcare was the start of it because I've had type one diabetes since I was 13. I had a weird situation when I was around 20 where I couldn't be on my parents insurance anymore. I was in school and had two jobs at the time but neither gave me health insurance and I was only able to afford a plan because of Obamacare. I admit I have no clue what prices were before Obamacare, but I was paying I think less than $50 a month and it was some of the best insurance I've had still to this day. But learning about the cost of just keeping myself alive and hearing stories of other diabetics who were in similar situations to me and died because they couldn't afford insulin was really eye opening. So over time I became more left leaning. I starting seeing clips from Hasan, my brother in law introduced my to Vaush and eventually I succumbed to the Destiny orbit. All of this caused a good amount of tension in my marriage. My wife grew up similar to me, but her parents were much more into politics and very conservative. She's moderated her views quite a bit, but still could probably never vote for a Democrat. Finally my point, we had our first kid last year and both our moms and her Grandma have become super antivax and beg her not to vaccinate our kid at all (even though all of their kids were fully vaccinated with even new vaccines at the time). It's caused a lot of fights and it makes her stressed out going to doctors appointments because she knows I'm always going to want to get him vaccinated with at least something. I had sent my mother in law the hbomberguy video about the antivax movement in the 80s hoping it could change her mind even a little bit. She only got about 15 minutes in before turning it off. Later she told my wife and i to read a book called turtles all the way down (not the John Green one, the antivax one that makes it really hard to find any criticism of it) that's like 500 pages long. I read a few sections with easily found wrong information and told her I'm not going to waste hours of my life on this trash when she wouldn't watch an hour and a half long video I sent her. All this is to say I understand how it could be very easy to go along with wrong beliefs in the interest of maintaining family relationships. I've fought tooth and nail and it's barely made a difference. My kid is still behind on vaccines and I've literally changed no one's mind. Also note for Destiny about the actual podcast, I noticed a faint humming and lots of low frequency noses when people would hit the table or blow into the mics. I have some experience in audio, but I don't get the chance to practice that much so take this with a grain of salt. The humming sounds like a ground issue. My understanding is if you have different pieces of audio equipment plugged into different circuits, there can be a difference in the ground circuits that causes a weird humming. From what I've heard the solution is to just plug everything audio into one outlet, but that's not always possible. If you're going to wait a week or two before posting the video anyway, you could just use a noise reducer effect on it and that should clean it up nicely. For the rumbling, insulators in-between the table and mic stands can help, but you might be able to get away with a high pass filter up to 100ish hz. Voices don't really go that low so cutting out frequencies below that probably won't lose anything other than the booming sound. I'm pretty sure OBS has a built-in plug-in for that, but I'm sure there are also add-ons you can use.

[@cr082080]

I don't know your whole situation nor the other sides of the story but if your wife is knowingly endangering the health of your child just to appease political beliefs then it may be time for intervention. It is fine to debate politics and to disagree but when a childs health is at risk because of the disagreement it is no longer ok. You are a father and have every right just as much as her to make decisions for the child and I would assert this.

[@SamHartwell420]

@@cr082080 I appreciate the concern. The issue with an intervention is I don't have the support system who will fight to get him vaccinated. Right now our agreement is to get at least one vaccine every appointment unless he's not feeling well, and we're scheduling extra appointments to make up vaccines we have skipped. My wife's concern is if he gets multiple vaccines at once and has a bad reaction to one we won't know which one caused it. I have suggested that once he has one dose of a vaccine and has shown to not have a severe reaction, then it should be okay to get the next dose if it's on the schedule along with a new vaccine, but she still isn't comfortable with that idea. We've had lots of discussions and arguments about it and unfortunately it's hard to keep fighting when everyone else disagrees with me. If I were to bring it up with our less unhinged family and friends, they would likely conclude that my wife's opinion is more reasonable and I'm being crazy because government bad and vaccine scary. I keep pushing to keep our son protected and I feel like where we've landed is better than him not getting vaccinated at all. He got his first dose of the MMR recently and has done really well so far and feel accomplished with that because I knew that one in particular would be a battle.

The person who gets outcasted or doesn’t belong to a group and may not feel taken care of by that group may separate themselves from that group or its ideas in order to protect themselves or better take care of themselves. If you get bullied a lot for example you might find another way of living your life superior to what the mainstream group believes is the best way to move forward. Especially because that group may not be beneficial to your survival. Sometimes it’s good to take a step back and think for yourself instead of just doing what others think you should do. Of course there’s bad ideas that people have like becoming a criminal or getting themselves into trouble but as long as you aren’t hurting people it can be smart to find your own direction to move forward.

To what Kyla was saying about negative consequences around admitting fault: Yes, it is great to immediately admit being wrong and switch your position when receiving appropriate info/understanding. However, the better ideal to strive for is not having a stance/hard opinion and saying "I dont have the relative info to have an opinion, therefore I dont know", instead of giving a misinformed or under informed opinion and admitting being wrong constantly. Its totally possible Kyla believes this for the same reasons, but the way she framed it left some ambiguity.

[@cerdic6305]

@@hopeintruth5119 Don't turn it into a conspiracy. Terms like negative reinforcement simply acquire new meanings because regular people encounter them and don't quite understand what they mean to scientists.

You can't say you're fine with language changing and then object when language changes in completely natural and common ways.

[@pwalshofficial]

As someone who is generally pretty critical of Destiny (from the left), I have to say this was a good conversation. However, things really fall apart for me when pro-capitalist folks start talking about how billionaire CEO's would be fine if they just had some kind of "moral obligation" to reinvest their money into the common good. This reward system cannot exist under capitalism because the idea of unending growth and wealth is inherent to the fabric of capitalism. You cannot expect those who benefit from a system which is geared towards wealth and income disparity to use their profits to benefit the working class. It would be a complete contradiction of what capitalists are trying to achieve. This is why folks on the left see capitalism as an immoral and unviable system. You cannot extract morality from exploitation.

[@timreyes2179]

That growth thing more of an effect of fiat currency I think. Without constant growth, fiat kinda fails. But with fiat there's a lot of levers to keep things from really failing. I think fiat is a necessary evil, but capitalism doesn't have to go hand in hand with fiat currency.

[@DougDepker]

Capitalism is good for a country, but only to a point. If you do not constrain capitalism with regulation and balance it with socialism (while also putting some constraints around socialism), then it will create massive wealth inequality, financialize every aspect of life, and psychological manipulation will grow as a marketing method as it becomes harder and harder to sustain growth.

[@pwalshofficial]

@@DougDepker you cannot have socialism and capitalism coexisting in the same system as they are diametrically opposed to one another. They will always battle each other. One argument against capitalism is that with its concentration of power at the top, you will inevitably lead to monopolies, wealth inequality, etc. because it is in the capitalists best interest to do this. Capitalism is not good for anyone but those who own capital. Not the workers.

“Pro-tariff” _can_ be a red flag. Context and implementation is key. An agrarian society rich in natural resources is more poised to shift toward industry and manufacturing both artisanal and mechanized, providing the agricultural sector is protected as a key player in building and maintaining autonomy. A trinity of agriculture, industrial, and manufacturing policy; it repeatably works, as history shows. Made in 19th century USA. However. Wells run dry, mines become exhausted. Then you must adapt. Service economies in developed post-industrial states are trickier… unsuitable to protection as they are much more reliant on complicated foreign relations; susceptible to global supply chain disruption. Plus policy has to protect mostly amorphous abstracts rather than tangibles. Theoretical whackamole. Good luck!

[@clemensmartin1034]

​@@UnofficialLesTwins Nocuh thinks there are cases where tariffs are a good idea, such as in developing countries. South Korea built its car industry by tariffing foreign car companies, so only the domestic manufacturers were competing. These were subsidised by the South Korean Government. There was also a requirement to sell some cars abroad, to prove that company could provide a car that's competitive for the international market. Anyone who couldn't, lost their subsidies. @Clemsmartin1034 says Mr Beast is only talking about neoliberal economics/economies, which is broadly Western countries + Japan and Korea. It's a part of economics and a red flag to me that Br Meat doesn't recognise the use cases for tariffs.

[@Taschenrechner1337]

Several eastern asian countries had phenomenal growth over the last decades, all of them implementing strong tariffs in the sectors they were developing in their country to make it work. Many countries are to this day held down from developing their own sectors because of strongly developed competition from other countries and free trade agreements with those. This is (seems to me to be) clear empirical evidence that this blanket statement of >free trade is good< is wrong. Mr. Beat hopefully has a much mor nuanced view and has just reacted here very one sided, one would have to watch his videos on economy, but after this and the Georgianism I fear I'd dislike his content and I'd rather spend my time with content I like (=my bubble ;) )

It seems that Canada (some parts of it at least) are introducing a Vacant Home Tax of 1% of property value per year. If the homes been vacant for 6+months, the owner pays the fee. This is combat the many rich or corporate businesses that use homes as investment and hold up the market by refusing to rent/sell homes at sane prices, keeping the floor pricing very high. At 1% it may not be enough to solve the problem but its a good start and will hopefully push the investors to at least lower pricing and fill out more homes.

[@kevley26]

1:56:40 This is why more zoning and housing policy needs to be done at the state and maybe county level. The interests of present residents is weighed way too heavily against the interests of people interested in moving there. In the case of California for example, the state government has started to do a lot more YIMBY policies while cities like SF are stalling. In most states especially large ones, there tends to be a majority in favor of pro housing supply policies, it is mostly just city level governments that are blocking progress. The good thing is that the state government has total power in this regard if they choose to use it, and we have seen this start to change in a few states as the majority is waking up to how NIMBYism is screwing our cost of living. I am pretty bullish on us succeeding, I don't think the democratic problem is as bad as Destiny seems to think it is. Even in many of these NIMBY cities the NIMBYs are just a loud effective minority.

"I'm not going to sit here and debate whether or not you can eat children alive because it's a super French belief" really threw me off until I realized lol. Listening to Destiny at high speed is not easy at times

[@wetpaperbag1346]

Mr Beat was a great guest, teaching high achool econ is not an easy topic to get students engaged so he's doing great work engaging fresh minds in an important topic to our daily lives. Unrelated but opening with the conversation about Kyla actively listening has primed me to notice her resisting her urges and it's really funny.

[@BlueTac1992]

Good conversation. Though the audio quality is a bit distracting at times

[@danielwieten8617]

I love Mr. Beat. Smart guy, and always fair.

[@balanzed5713]

Thanks for interviewing Destiny, mr. Beat!

Mr. Beat and Destiny in the same room and I'm like "WOW!!!!"

Great episode, really good discussion! Bonus Meme at 01:18:21 : Whetchen Gritmer

Wasn't this supposed to be a premiere? 🤔 Other than that: LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!!! 😎

Mr. Beat, one of my absolute favorite KZbin personalities! 💯💯💯

I think the Bridges podcast is the one of the best things Destiny is working on at the moment

[@spydar05]

This was a crazy mash-up to show on my front page. I've seen Destiny outside of the serious debates, but never in this type of light.

[@AyubuKK]

This guy is great

[@ShortFatOtaku]

i love this podcast guys, but what is the audio buzzing?

[@Rct3master44]

The audio buzz is actually a coded message tell you to release the Trucker video Dev.

This was a fantastic episode, with a guest I had never heard of but was very thoughtful. Thanks keep it up

Always love to listen to you!

The only issue with the free trade is: some of us only have their workforce to trade and if you outsource most of that you end up in a desaster

[@reptar4life]

Steven did not figure out what was causing that buzzing sound lol

[@GummBo3]

Mr. Beat mentions tariffs as a kind of negative punisher, but in psychology it would be considered a positive punisher. Great discussion btw.

my marketing professor made me fall asleep 💀 cause ik most of thing things being taught i was providing 70% of the answers in that class when he tried to engage us

[@jiiaga5017]

I also fell asleep in Econ 101. Our professor's opening statement to the class was he didn't want to be there, and it showed.

[@LunarWingCloud]

This has been an eye opening conversation

I uncritically agree with everything said in this podcast

I think one of the big shifts in American history was the move away from the pension system to individual retirements. Pension systems forced people to save for retirement and also allowed people to benefit from business and capital growth. Now YOU have to choose to purchase stocks and not everyone does that, therefore not everyone benefits from the growth in American business. Instead a lot of those resources have went into the consumer economy.

My sister and i are the lone liberals in our whole family. The best thanksgiving ever was when it was my nanas turn to say what she was greatful for she said that we accept and love one another despire our differances and our disagreements and lifestyle. That no matter what we will always be family. I got up and gave her a hug regardless if that was directed towards me or not. Ill never torget that. I really do feel badly for people who arent able to be themselves around their love ones. That reminds me. I need to call mt grandparents😊

“The less restrictions we have, the better we all have” and “Wealth disparity is breaking society” is certainly an interesting combination of beliefs

[@greybeaver8300]

Ideally, we'd have a less restrictive society and a more healthy wealth distribution using the right incentive system. They are not mutually exclusive

[@chillin5703]

Absolutely not; wealth disparity generates and is generated by a series of restrictions. Can't believe libertarian beliefs have been hijacked by apologists for heavy classism in society.

[@Historia.Magistra.Vitae.]

"wealth disparity" is just a glorified word for jealousy.

In most interactions between humans and other animals the humans are the ones at fault because humans are intrusive, invasive, exploitative, and abusive to other animals as a rule- and even if they mean well humans are moral agents whereas other animals are moral patients. It is a recognition of what makes us unique and holding ourselves to a higher standard when people defend animals.

The amount of people that think its even possible to be 100% sure of something is scary. But on a practical level they still think everything they know or believe are correct. We are bad at brain stuff

Destiny is not geared for interviewing. Your skill, and the work you've done to be an active listener are apparent and more than functional. But there is an empathy exercise in consistently giving the space for another to talk at the expense of one's own ideas. If you want to podcast better, put your interviewee as more important than yourself in your mind.

[@cahzriel_wonka]

Goooood stuff!
