This is also how adult friends interacted when I was a child. I have wonderful memories of my parents and other couples they were friends with sitting around our kitchen table "debating" issues for hours. Drinking coffee and having some intense conversations with no malice, aggression, or hurt feelings. Even when they disagreed on the topics. And remaining friends despite their differences. Taught me a lot about how to be a real adult, stand for what you believe in while respecting other people's right to do the same. To also respectfully listen to other people's differing opinions with an open mind because we're never too old to learn from each other. I miss that so much these days.

[@Shotzno]

⁠@@link8689wtf are you talking about?😅 policy and views? You sound like a tool saying this and clearly your idea of a lawyer is what you’ve seen in a movie/TV. 😅 Debates are so you can make the case for your policy, and to let people challenge those ideas. Yea it can be a popularity contest at times but it’s better than no debating at all. Also, there’s a moderator who, if unbiased, keeps control and doesn’t allow them to say blatantly false info or evade questions.

[@Ejay669]

Jordan being a climate and vacine denier was not something I expected. What a fucking downturn.

[@Shotzno]

@@Ejay669 questioning safety and saying they cause downs is a big gap. I don’t think he said he was anti vax. Also they have been using fear to push an agenda.

[@over7532]

The subtle, unspoken, mutual apologies for getting too worked up were things of absolute beauty. I'd love to see much more between these two.

[@rileystrom8530]

I do see what you're talking about, but I would (somewhat parasocially) guess that destiny does not really see getting "worked up" as a negative thing he'd have to apologize for. He's said before that he enjoys conversations like that much more than never truly getting into the details. My guess is that JBP is probably the same way.

[@RS-fy9hb]

Destiny doesn't view it as a problem, but he absolutely recognizes it normally conveys high tension friction and overly combativeness, which he's specifically tried to not be swept up in. Finkelstein Debate is another such example, he kept his cool, even if just for appearances, so while he personally doesn't dislike the high tension verbal "fights", when it comes to getting your point across to a different audience, he's made a point of making sure not to get swept up in raising the temperature, or mudslinging (although mudslinging didn't occur here, despite the tone almost seeming to indocate it could happen).

[@aylictal]

As a liberal, I am happy conservatives are now seeing the issue with big business. About 10 years back there was a fairly significant libertarian movement on the right, especially regarding Ron Paul and the tea party where they wanted big business to have 0 limitations and ultimately complete control. Scary when those same corporations without limitations would also without limitation take their money in towards lobbyists behind closed doors to basically be the government themselves without anyone seeing it. Liberals, including myself, nowadays also see the problem with big government in hindsight, especially when war is concerned. If you ask any liberal which president killed the most people in history, it wasn't a conservative, but Barack Obama. Its a fact, and hard for other libs to swallow.

I've always loved watching Peterson debate and admire his wit . I've only seen a few debates with Destiny and quickly realized he's quick witted and well understanding as well. However, I still came into this video with the assumption that Destiny would not be able to match Peterson in any capacity. Not only was I wrong, but it seemed to me, that Peterson even showed some and debated with biases and personal feelings in some aspects. Destiny did as well but Peterson's seemed more motivated by that personal feeling to support his argument where Destiny seemed more grounded in trusting the data. Peterson would quote data if it supported his feelings, but disregard data if it opposed them. This was a treat to watch and I would love to see more from these two.
