[@FirstUsername]

you're delusional if you think the economy is good

[@timjones2227]

@LastNightDeatiny the issue is that we're in a sellers market where people selling are making more money selling the same amounts of goods generally. The issue is that buyers are negatively impacted by sellers markets, when prices are high people complain about spending more money for the same goods. When prices crash the sellers complain about profits, there's a swing between the 2 market styles but since puting restrictions and shitty policies that hurt suppliers and manufacturers it keeps the markets skewed in only one way

[@bulldozer8950]

Ya. For instance wikipedia isn’t going to teach you everything about cell biology, but it can give you a pretty good idea that you need to look deeply into the nucleus of the cell and what dna/rna are, that you should look at the mitochondria, that you should look at enzymes, and that what the different things in the cell are. And then you know to look those up and learn more about them in detail separately with more detailed and specific sources. It’s a very good way to figure out the basics of the topics which is what lets you actually research it. If you’ve never taken a biology class you probably would have no idea to where to even start to try to understand how a cell functions, and likely first you’d look up something like “how does a cell work” and just read something like Wikipedia or Wikipedia adjacent to get an overview anyway.

[@g00gleisgayerthanaids56]

Nobody is saying it isnt useful, but it shouldnt ever be used as a "primary source" you go to wikipedia, search a topic and then you check the sources used for the wikipedia page... if you actually look into these sources then you can find real data. The problems with wikipedia arent within the realms of basic science, its the more fringe topics (especially geopolitical) with bad sources or no sources at all. I mean, i had a wikipedia page made about my person that had an entire page written up about how i invented "fwench" and a bunch of other bullshit, it stayed up for years... i didnt make the article and i couldnt change it despite the fact that it was literally about me... i tried to change it and wikipedia asked for a source... get where im going? Wikipedia is great for the layman searching up relatively benign topics, but it isnt accredited for anything in the realm of academia simply due to how easy it is for anyone to make changes to an article as long as they provide _A_ source, it doesnt even have to be a verified source...

I was actually able to get one person from the NF side to pin point some of the issues that he believed Norm bet Destiny on, but it was based on assumptions of what he thought Destiny was thinking. Why did he have to use these assumptions? Because Norm was screaming over Destiny so bad that Lex had to break in and move to another topic. They do not understand how military targeting works, a pre-approved strike list, or how approval to use assets is different between soldiers in the ground and air strikes.

[@GuranPurin]

To be fair, it makes sense given that the Hijab is a requirement in Islam. Regardless of what lib Muslim grifters tell you, it is not optional. It is mandatory. And a non-Hijabi woman is seen as lesser than because she is not following the Quran the way she is supposed to. So I'm not surprised they have a specific term for Hijab wearers.

The scariest part is that what if there was no Destiny. There is almost no one in the political left space pushing back against the far left and general conservative brain rot like him, and doing it successfully. A few so called "centrist" whom Destiny has talked to, and they're mostly pretty uninformed too, but less harmful I guess. All jokes aside, literally Destiny is the only political left leaning person on youtube im aware of the last almost 10 years (yes im aware of the orbiters that have brains like dylan, erudite, etc..)that with all his flaws has dedicated himself to getting people to THINK better while still being on the left. David pakman does not indulge in debate or wasting time engaging on topics his audience would spaz over. Although he has the knowledge, intellect, but less time also, to combat nonsense on the left and right. He has himself said he doesnt cover certain things because it would be too much of a headache to deal with saying something perfectly logical and rational, but the ideologues in his audience would just flood him for weeks about it in emails and comments. It shouldn't be the case that one man mainly, and a side cast of like a literal handful (1 of whom use to hate Destiny before she came around. B.Wu) are battling both sides of the political sphere, and its not just online losers since many of these horrible opinions have long since leaked into the mainstream.

“I know [the argument] is wrong, but why?” is such a morally bad way to go into ‘research’. He basically just admitted to reading everything through his biased lens and leaning on confirmation bias.

[@TheHadMatters]

In Finklestein's case it probably is, because it's a fairly loaded, confident "I know," but I do think there are situations where I've got this inclination, and it's less because of bias and more because I'm literally slow to think or don't remember my sources.

[@bulldozer8950]

In fairness, if you were approaching a bad faith argument that used a fallacy that you knew was wrong based off your knowledge of the topic but you were struggling to pin down the specific place it went wrong you might say the same thing. A good example is those 1+0=2 proofs. Anyone whose passed 1st grade easily knows that’s not true, but if you try to go step by step, often you’ll struggle to find the specific thing that isn’t mathematically sound unless you have a decent background in math and proofs because they use steps that seem like they’re probably true at first glance and generally rely on somewhat obscure things that seem true but aren’t. Similarly, for a political argument you could believe that a particular conclusion is wrong but struggle to articulate and pin down the specific part of the argument that isn’t correct when the logical sequence is laid out if you’re not particularly well versed in debate tactics and breaking down an argument in that way and the sequence the argument is particularly sneaky. Giving Mr twinkledick a particularly generous reading, this might be the thing he’s trying to articulate (poorly)

The pressure to cut rates comes from the cost to service the national debt, the cost to businesses and home owners to take out loans. Part of the reason the market is doing well is due to the perception inflation was going to continue to come down to the target (this year), allowing the FED to cut interest rates and improve business conditions, leading to more growth. It's good to remember the stock market is not the economy, & a low unemployment rate is great but not if it continues to contribute to above average inflation. The 10/2 spread on debt points to the economy not being as strong as perceived. Equity markets are very susceptible to narratives (like AI & everyone assuming rates are coming down), debt markets are less vulnerable to narrative driven events.

[@Cixtrist]

The important question to ask, as far as housing "ownership" goes... Is not 'how many people are paying AND/or paid a mortgage, to own their housing...' But how many of these "owners" have no outstanding mortgage, and thus ACTUALLY own their housing. Now... That wording could be considered a bit loaded, so for transparency... from MY perspective, you dont fully own an asset, without first paying off its debt. Outside of ownership you're basically only recieving dividends, or an 'asset' to negotiate further debts with... More often than not, the law leans in favor of the party that owns the most POTENTIAL wealth, in a dispute. Therefore, because banks and housing lenders are also charging interest, you can pay off over half your housing, and STILL not be eligible for certain rights and protections that come with full or even majority ownership. (Which instead favor the mortgage owner). All the non opinion based factors alone, actually drops the "housing ownership" from a bit over 66% (not quite 70% as far as I've seen this year, but that could be outdated knowledge on my part) down to around just 25%. This is notably VERY low on the totem pole, compared to other OECD nations. Its ultimately an interesting, and multifaceted enough topic...

Does this Mike fellow have a full grasp and understanding of the words he is using? His depth of understanding of skim as opposed to read, really is a testament to the Philly education system.

[@Dmrezmo]

Finklestein sounds like Whitey from Eight Crazy Nights here 😂

[@perotansucia8630]

Lol the careful non skimming reading he does after being clocked as a skimmer. And still a little dyslexic “real estate” 😂.

Ph and rents are all time high here in Vegas also up 150% MINIMUM for Apts. Used to get 3 bdrm for 1300ish now a 1 bdrm is 1600ish houses are STARTING AT 2k a month for a shit whole that used to be 1kish

If you live in city funded social housing/a place you pay rent for with any form of social aid, can I enter there whenever I want? The property being the universities and being given to them as compensation/part of the salary changes exactly nothing.

[@DocRoc94]

Holy shit Norm is insufferable.

[@popskya]

The pressure is for those of us who have to finance autos, homes, etc. I sell cars ..between rates being at a 30 year high as well as car prices being higher than ever before. Pre pandemic everyone had multiple cars for lease around 200 a month with little cash upfront and purchases were 350 to 400 all the time. Now add 200 month to each figure and used cars are up around 60% in my area (1/2 yr old cars selling for MSRP) RATES up 150% is making it nearly impossible to afford a car. FYI I live in Vegas not some small BS town.

At what point does the term "Confidence Trickster" become appropriate for someone like Norm?

[@GO-GO_SO-SO]

Does anyone else remember that person who worked in some law firm that had assaulted a woman by snatching a green wig off of her head and making her head snap back from the force? That guy was fired for that. Destiny had said that he did not deserve to get fired. But he believes these law students deserve to be kicked out of school?

[@thewkovacs316]

the law students dont understand the first amendment grounds for expulsion and deportation

[@matsab7930]

pretty sure your recounting of this story is horseshit lol

[@moneygrab610]

The accusation of “reading Wikipedia” is laughable when these same people don’t even do the minimal level of analysis they expect from others. They would rather just watch a KZbin video (which is somehow more trustworthy a source?) of someone agreeing with them and maybe pick out a few points to parrot. Say what you want about Destiny, but he is at least reading primary sources, having conversations with scholars, trying to understand the history. This is like saying, “I’ll just cheat off the smart kid’s exam because they probably studied.” People are selecting a champion assuming they have done the work.

[@danielragsdale9849]

Wikipedia is almost explicitly there to help people inform themselves. Since when do people meme on it, it's a good website to have up.

[@g00gleisgayerthanaids56]

People have been shitting on wikipedia since it came into existence, its never been seen as a good source for information. Cite wikipedia as your source for any academic work and see how well that works out for you.

[@danielragsdale9849]

@@g00gleisgayerthanaids56 Don’t think the average person is turning in academic papers.

[@peach_of_justus]

It doesn't matter, even if Destiny had a degree in the topic, they would then say something like "Destiny only has a degree, Norm has written the book on it"... Essentially they would try to invalidate whatever Destiny has done because in this debate they have nothing they can point to showing Destiny "getting owned". When whatever side someone is on loses in a debate they have to take the route of attacking the opponents credibility and personal character instead.

My mortgage is like 1800 because of a 6.5% interest rate on a 215k home it sucks.

[@admireinspire]

The pressure for wanting lower rates comes from numerous places. We want to be able to finance things at more reasonable prices, houses rn you get so much less house per dollar because the rates are insane this goes to cars, renovations, solar, everything. Existing credit card and student loan balances are requiring higher minimums so existing debt has become even more crushing. That being said, if rates come down prematurely and inflation is allowed to go crazy that eats up our wages and savings so it's a delicate balance the fed is walking I generally agree with their choices so far but I WOULD ENJOY a lower rate environment.

[@yonibruk3017]

Funny how he accuses destiny of looking for evidence of his conclusions while he literally just watched Finkelstein say he does that exactly

[@peach_of_justus]

Saying you need to read the footnotes to be knowledgable then means you cant read a book either unless youve read every other book thats referenced along the way

[@MrEyelash69]

1:08:50 I'm pretty sure a phone screen would be in plain view. Analogize this to a piece of paper. If a piece of paper is folded up in your pocket it wouldn't be in view but as soon as you take it out of your pocket and unfold it it is now in plain view. Similar to how if you take out your phone and unlock it that screen is now in plain view.

Mr. Martinelli really needs a second debate to see if any points get addressed.

this video was a bad look, nothing against wiki personally. But, for the second half of the video we pretty much watched destiny skim articles and instantly exit out of articles that mildly disagreed with his point on recording people in homes but continued to read those that mildly agreed with him lol

Reading and writing does not make anyone intelligent. For some it can make you wise, for others like finkelstein it makes him arrogante. Funny, auther that might be biast, he doesn't see the ironi ?

[@PixelPenguin77]

I don't think Finklestein is unintelligent... I think he knows exactly what he's doing.

[@biozvin1285]

​@PixelPenguin77 I am honestly not sure after seeing his rant to family making noise in apartment building. Most intelligent people I know don't flash credentials every time they get, it is the most important thing for finkelstein that people know he is a "scholar" and that he has read a lot.

[@freethinker4liberty]

I appreciate Destiny and watch his content cuz he's not an extremists, dude does his research and can come up with a conclusion that is completely anathema to what you'd expect from someone of his political persuasion, this is why he's easy to listen to, I get bored listening to Crowder or Wire or other right wing shit all the time, and certainly I can't listen to fucking progressives or communists, their content makes the words bias or cherry picking or misinformation meaningless. Old school mainstream western chauvinist liberal Destiny for the win. But the one thing I wish Destiny would stay away from is science and tech, he really has no fucking clue, whenever he brings up some space shit, or computer shit, I cringe and can't continue, I have to fast forward that or have a heart attack.
