Have We Reached Peak Stupidity? - Destiny (4K)
Destiny is a streamer and a KZheadr.
It's hard to work out what's happening in the world. It's difficult to work out if what you see or hear or read is truthful. So are people actually becoming dumber or is it a normal response to a confusing environment?
Expect to learn what the future of media might look like, why being tribal is so dangerous, whether we have passed peak wokeness, Destiny’s thoughts on the 2024 election, if the red pill movement is dead or not, what Destiny thinks about his most recent ADHD diagnosis, his reaction to the internet chiming in on his divorce and much more...

Yes, we have reached peak stupidity, you are interviewing Destiny. Why Chris? thumbs down.
You guys dismiss the Red Pill movement. And I understand some of what you're saying. But what you both fail to realize is that its becoming stale and repetitive because you can't move past the red pill unless there is consensus and acknowledgement on both sides of the truths its trying to show. There is still half the people who want to say the realities the red pill are pointing out aren't true. So thats why you end up in a merry-go-round of repeated content

People aren't getting dumber. It's just that social media has given us insight into how many stupid people there are
The correct sentence would be "People aren't *becoming* dumber". The irony, oh the irony.

Look at worldwide IQ.
On the ADHD: My 27 yo son has recently opened himself up to the understanding that he has ADHD. It has been an evolution for him that has allowed him to understand that he is not the "loser" he thought he was. He was constantly questioning why he struggled with some basic tasks, and now he is more accepting of himself and allowing some grace. It has been life changing to eliminate the negative self-talk.
That's awesome to hear. I hope he finds a great path that works for him moving forward. Everyone's different, even among those with ADHD. And while I'm not sure if you've played many video games before, I'll mention a video game analogy to ADHD, that an old friend once told me. The way he described his ADHD was like an inherent modifier on his person, that most didn't really have: "Deal 2x the damage, receive 2x the damage." I'm not much of a gamer myself, but the point was that his ADHD wasn't necessarily good or bad. That weakness may be 2x as difficult to deal with, and it can be hard to make any progress without getting a better handle on it. One may get a slower start, and end up "falling behind" as a result, maybe even far more than what you feel should be the case, just like he did through high school and somewhat beyond. When he started to figure himself out, it was like he performed 2x as well at everything he approached. Doesn't mean things weren't messier than most, but at a glance, he'd seem like he was "lucky" or simply "gifted." He wasn't. His mind just operated a lil differently, and while he once despised this, he now wouldn't have it any other way. I'm still working my way towards feeling the same, and I hope I'm getting there, in whichever form that may take for me. And the same for your son, in whichever form it may take for him.
Tell him the only requirement is exercise non-stop..like take up dancing or singing so every minute he has alone he's not playing video games but pracicing something with his body..drums..guitar..skateboard...anything OUT of the house and using the body. Otherwise he'll end checking himself into the ER psych ward like I did when I was a coder. We gotta move or we get really angry, anxious, depressed, bored...rageful, insulting, impatient...narcissistic, dismissing, lol....i could on.
@@stoneneils zzzzzzzzz
I’m doing the same thing now with my recent ADHD diagnosis but it seems basically impossible to do anything but the negative self-talk. I’m not comfortable with literally anything else. I know have positive traits and redeeming characteristics, reasons to be proud of myself. Other people like me and will tell me as much. But I can’t treat myself that way because if I do, I worry I’ll get complacent. I feel like I have to be my harshest critic and my own arch nemesis so that somebody holds me accountable. Nobody is gonna be better at holding me accountable than me
@@Adam-tu1lk❤ much love, I'm in the same sinking boat 😂

@@blarpgan3641 Amen to that. Honestly, it's so liberating to truly know that working yourself to the bone to make money isn't the key to a good life. In my opinion, all you need is health, safety, 3 good friends, romance, and the freedom to indulge in whatever brings you joy. This requires you to have *"enough"* money, and of course the meaning of "enough" can vary, but you certainly don't need to be rich to be fulfilled, and you don't need to work more than 40 hours a week.
@@blarpgan3641do you lift, though?
Yeah and also to mention the fact that society is pretty much built on people who work 9-5. If everybody left to be a ‘entrepreneur’ the world would crumble
This is only a small part of the core problem which is the malignant profit culture that Americans have been sold as being their national identity. This one cultural ideology pushes every differing opinion off the edge of being tolerable because the premise of your culture is that everyone is trying to achieve maximum selfishness in order to win in society. Therefore, no one can be trusted. Congradulations on that. Mission achieved Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and every administration starting with Ronald Reagan.
Destiny came off as human, thoughtful, and reasonable. I could disagree all day long with him, yet still find common ground and work together on those issues.
This. I feel he presents himself as having thought these things through deeply, but really only provides quite superficial and reductive thinking. For example, stating he doesn’t have a political affiliation (but xlearly states he’s left leaning) and says he’s happy to change his mind based on evidence but Ben Shapiro wouldn’t? Where’s the evidence to suggest such. He doesn’t give others the same grace he gives himself. But, I did find this very interesting
@@MsChampagneSanityyou completely missed the point, his main point was that he will not lose money for stating an opinion that’s affiliated with a specific political leaning, and you can see this over the course of his career.(getting banned on twitch for trans issues). Or how he was also hyper attacked by the left for his BLM takes. And he still finds a way to take these unpopular opinions within his “group” (ex;israel v Palestine). However with Ben Shapiro his whole company is based off being conservative and the identity of the daily wire is conservatism which can only lead you to believe that the success of Ben’s company will pressure him to take certain positions
@@skenderdokovic I did understand this. It is well known the daily wire isn’t left, but it does also house centrist views too and those of the silent majority (hence its meteoric rise). The reason I say this is because within its own house, creators have butted heads and disagreed. Vehemently. Ben, I feel, would follow the “facts” if say, the science or literature reflected it. However, he is a religious human and takes a hard bias stance in some (not all) cases. He’s been vocal against and for trump for example, pro and against many other issues. It’s not as clean cut to suggest he simply wouldn’t change his mind. As if it’s set in stone. I think he’d agree. But would he change from right (or centre right or libertarian) to left? Absolutely not. There’s nuance missing from destinys argument. That was MY point. That you missed.
People no longer argue their opinions, they argue their realities - like we live in two different worlds.
this
Good analysis. But honestly people just parrot things. If you dig down a few feet you quickly see that nobody understands why they believe things. I mean other than- people I like support this thing so it is inherently correct. Oh, the hubris.
Their realities are opinions. That's the problem.
Arguing your opinions was already the problem. You should be discussing your opinions, not *arguing* it.
When we argue about things that used to be common sense and don't have the common sense to even know what common sense is anymore. We are a generation of idiots. We've regressed into arguments about basic things, when we could be tackling real problems and truly advancing the world in better ways. It's a major slap in the face to prior generations who sacrificed so much so we could get to this point. Only to waste it on pointless contentions.
Since I can no longer post this on one of Destiny's videos, imma juat say it here that Destiny is a proud and strong black woman's name.
So stunning. So brave.
That’s who he is in his heart of hearts

Destiny is such a mixed bag. He's one of the few people I watch who i believe is genuinely himself. The problem is he can go from being spot on to completely clueless depending on what he's talking about.
That’s the case with everyone who feels forced to have an understanding of everything. Destiny’s failure resides in his inability to pass over subjects about which he knows little to nothing.
Yeah. He'll have you at first with an accurate and incisive description of why things are the way they are only to then veer off into bizarro land takes that contradict what he was just saying.
Give an example of what he's clueless about.
Then it shouldn't be too hard to give top 5 issues he is clueless about.
Or is it he says something’s u agree with and others u disagree with

What you learn in college is how to learn. You learn how to research, you learn a process. What you learn is secondary, how to learn is primary. The equation you learn is more valuable than the variables. In college, you learn a state of mind; a mindset. Discipline.
ADHD stuff hit me hard. When it came up I was like ADHD is bullshit and by the end of that segment, I think I might have it. Literally every single thing Destiny said I experience regularly. The test scores thing especially, I was in the 5th percentile when it came to testing but literally never did homework and finished high school with 2.7 GPA
Went through something similar; the good news is that treatment exists if you need it. Good luck!
The issue with this is that so many people share these symptoms and a lot of the time, it's our society that forces us to act like that... probably the reason why ADHD self diagnosis has boomed in the last 5 years.

ADHD doesn’t mean you can’t focus on anything, it means you can’t focus on things you don’t want to. It is a lack of ability to consciously curtail your focus to accomplish things you have to do but don’t want to do.
God I wish more people knew this. It a dopamine regulation issue. It's not a "lazy" or "absent-minded" thing.
Never heard it described so succinctly.
how did you get Mr Bonell, Mr Borelli, Mr Morelli, Mr Borell and Mr Morris on the show?
For the ADHD stuff, since we can't fully figure out the brain. If you appear 'normal' then people think you have no defects whatsoever. People really only believe in stuff that is obvious like Schizo, Diabetes, Seizures. For some reason, we just become hyper-skeptical to anything we can't see since internal experience is subjective. Even chronic pain people or people with high anxiety get the same criticism. Really annoying to deal with.
That's a combined effect from those masking to appear normal and the tons of un-diagnosed crying wolf to explain away their lack of self-development. For an outside observer it can seem exaggerated, because some of it is and some of it is hidden.. It's kind of like how often you'll hear someone claim they're introverted, but they're definitely not.
Joan Rivers was right...Just grow up.
@@Baconbits16i mean im autistic my life hasnt been the best I stress about anything easily One of my other friends who has autism says ive most likely got it worse then him even though we are both .. functional i guess .. i do have one friend who says its not that bad because im not like that one kid who slaps their perants when they sneese or are loud ..... Even though i have the urge to pumch peoples cars when they honk or have a dick measuring contest in the middle of the road Dont get me started on people who litter But yeah ive seen the videos of people faking so so much its unbelievable Im aware i havent got it the worst but it definitely does affect me
_"For some reason, we just become hyper-skeptical to anything we can't see since internal experience is subjective"_ Ha! I wish! Look up the "do you believe in god" polls here on YT. 80% answer yes. So, yeah. Also, "we should become hyper-skeptical to anything we can't see", as in, we should be skeptical and not believe it until it's demonstrated to us beyond reasonable doubt and educate ourselves on what demonstrate and beyond reasonable doubt mean. Only then we should believe things, before that it's "I don't know". For example, I. Ask me if I believe in ADHD. I don't know enough about the problem to answer that I know for a fact, but I believe in it, because I trust the doctors, same as I believe in cancer, but I haven't seen those myself, but there's enough evidence for me to believe that they're true.
Maybe everybody has those problems. I'm not trying to insult you like. You're human beings all of them have really bad problems
Hearing destiny talk about adhd is similar to getting diagnosed with narcolepsy. I just thought everyone else was handling being that tired all the time way better and I couldn’t figure out how.
I’m also narcoleptic (and I have ADHD too) and I can second this! Before learning I had it, I just didn’t get how other people could do so much throughout the day and not seem like they’re about to collapse 😂
Very very true.

That's the reason Hama Piker lies continuously about Destiny.
I can't keep track of who I'm allowed to like anymore. Last girl I dated was convinced Joe Rogan was a racist antivaxxer.
"This is such a good conversation" comments are incredibly significant, because it's a response to where we are at as a society right now. People agree that it is more important to create meaningful dialog between people who disagree with each other than to determine a "winner" and we are trying to incentivize and promote that kind of dialog. Once we get to a place where we feel there is enough respect between people who disagree and that we've reduced the amount of polarization, we'll be able to talk more about the content of the conversations themselves.
Yess, i have read a book on polarisation and its sooo important to start at a common ground and have discussions without trying to win. Then after you can do that you can discuss conflict resolution and get into the weeds. Book is inside polarisation by bart brandsma i believe
@@Voljinable thanks for the recommendation!
On ADHD. For any parents who feel like Destiny did, thinking because their kid can focus on video games he must not qualify as ADHD. ADHD is not the inability to pay attention. It is a deficient ability to DIRECT your attention where you want it to go. It is more difficult for an ADHD person to direct their attention toward something that is low stimulation (homework+hygiene). It is also more difficult for an ADHD person to direct their attention away from something that is high stimulation (videogames).
ADHD is a fake diagnosis. Just a side effect from growing up on modern media and constant distraction in life. Over stimulated kids. most of us have "it". who cares. "ADHD" is meaningless.
AD HD

diagnosis, that
The 'team sports' "either you're with us or against us" shit has literally driven me so far off the edge of online politics that I don't even bother anymore. I used to be willing to roll around in the mud with anybody but in the last year or two it's literally only been trying to play janitor to my own side and simultaneously prove that I'm not the second coming of hitler. I'm just going to do my thing and stay out of it until the needle shifts back to a more reasonable place.
The needle will not be shifting back to a more reasonable place any time soon. At least not without hell on earth being unleashed first. Truly I mean that because if things go that bad....more accurately when things do go that bad. There will be nowhere to hide or shelter either alone or with family and friends. The more people in your group the more likely you are to be targeted. A war now would be everywhere simultaneously and it will be ultra violent compared to what we've "seen" so far. For one thing, we've almost reached the point where they no longer need any of us left alive to do their work. That's what we know, so more than likely they've already reached that point and surpassed it. You're right though, to a point, society does behave as a pendulum most of the time. Things get pushed too far and then eventually there is a pullback, a correction. However, there are also extreme cases when the pullback is consistently deficient to correct the initial tangent. This is exactly what we've seen over the last 15-25 years. When this happens think of the pendulum of a clock, now imagine that clock is sitting in a canoe and a 300lb unathletic asthmatic is attempting to haul himself up and back into the canoe. He just keeps pulling down and down and down never letting up, which buries the pendulum far to one side. Everyone knows how that story is going to end. Eventually that grandfather clock is gonna tip all the way over, smack chubby Michael Phelps on the head, render him unconscious and he's going to drown. Have no fear, society is actually the canoe, the people alive today, yeah they're actually the fat guy, they're fkd. But the canoe will float away, probably get knocked around in the stream a little and eventually either turn upright or find it's way to shore. Unless there's a massive waterfall. Or a series of them.
Same lol especailly "trying to play janitor to my own side and simultaneously prove that I'm not the second coming of hitler"
You mean after civilization collapses? 😜
the truth hurts, but this hits so hard. More left leaning people confuse American Patriotism with Nazi Nationalism and its a complete joke in terms of ideology because they're so different in how one is so welcoming and the other is so not only gatekeeping but authoritarian to the point of world domination.
What bothers me most is how Destiny can correctly identify this as a problem... but continues to do it himself.
This is one of the few occasions I had to change the speed to 0.75 because I found Destiny’s speech almost incoherently fast. I’m not surprised he eventually went to see someone and was prescribed medication, he seems wound up like a spring. I also thought it was positive that he admitted advising people to cut off toxic parents was wrong. Each person’s family is unique and it’s incredibly difficult to advise even your closest friends on matters like these. Podcasts on ‘values’ have to tread very carefully. I feel like Chris walks this tightrope very well. His good friend Alex O’Connor is also very good at negotiating the pitfalls of modern values and the debates concerning them.
Wow, whoever does the video/lighting for these shots deserves every cent they make. Really beautiful work. I don't think I've seen anything this clean on youtube before. Bravo 👍

We all know who would play Peter Dinklage in a movie about Peter Dinklage. I think we also know that same person could play Destiny, though he'd be shorter.
Destiny had an open relationship with his woman and she left him for an alpha. That’s his intelligence.
You mean taller?
Well to give some counterweight. I'm a libertarian, I don't agree with Destiny on many things goverment related, but I do really appreciate his duedilligence and commitment to the truth. Ridiculous to disregard him for his hair color, his (personal) lifestyle choices and him having a girl name
It's easier to deal with life if you just just dismiss any ideas that contradict whatever reality you've been brainwashed into thinking is the truth.
Isn't one's lifestyle speaking of that person's values that translate into the bigger picture?
@@three_owl_night ideally, the person's values would determine their lifestyle, but you can't logically argue the other way around. someone in an open relationship could believe one of (at least) two opposite views: 1. they believe that individuals are best capable of deciding the arrangements that best suit their preferences; or 2. they believe that open relationships are the one best arrangement (by some metric) and they should be mandatory. Both beliefs are mutually exclusive, a person who believes in either on them could be in an open relationship. So lifestyle doesn't necessarily seem very informative of a person's values
@three_owl_night I would call that a ad hominem or poisoning the well.
It's a ruse. He acknowledges minor points he knows he can't win then doesn't change his conclusion at all. It's a clear trick, makes it look like he has a reasoned, nuanced opinion, but just so happens to still agree with every leftist conclusion.
I was actually surprised at how reasonable overall Destiny is. I was expecting something else entirely. Glad I listened to this!
I'll preface with I'm not the most supportive of Destiny. In the long run, he has proven, for me, to be an overly confident ideologue himself. He can talk his way around most criticism and chooses to castigate views unapproving of his own (specifically anti-establishment perspectives), all while really providing nothing more than standard/stale status quo line talking points and "I'll have to look into that" without the intention of ever really doing so. Not to throw the baby out with the bathwater, he is a great debater and most can agree with the more rational points he makes. The autistic charm cannot outweigh the burden of moralistic integrity -- which is lacking when taken as a whole, over the course of giving him attention.
"Ideologue" how? Where is the "burden of moralistic integrity"? Seems like your a bit hurt by "specifically anti establishment perspectives"
@@pancaked7777777 blue no matter who. What are you talking about...
@@WonderFilledMedia is that an ideology? I dunno if that's even a hard committed rule but generally the Republicans these days are wild and especially at a fed level the margins are thin so I can understand it from a pragmatic standpoint just to get anything done than sure. I dunno if this qualifies him as an ideolog tho really?
@@pancaked7777777 that was the gentlest response from a destiny simp-adjscent person I've ever seen
What camera is being used?
boy do i disagree with destiny on so many things but absolutely love learning from his perspectives. He actually has developed my nuance in opinions in many ways. moral of the story its important to consume opposing opinions and actually contemplate them
Nuanced? Absolutely not. Intricate? To the extreme.
key word "my" nuance@@DrDeuteron
It’s called “critical thinking and analysis”
Good job challenging your belief, too many shy away from opposing figures! :)
Im curious, what do you disagree on? Just 2 or 3 topics since there are so many things.
comments about to be crazy 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 thank you! I don't know why I continue looking for evidence that PEOPLE aren't crazy. Probably because I'm just as bad myself.

I have no idea who this guy is. I’m 1 min in and just by judging his mannerisms and demeanour I can tell I don’t like him. Are these signs and markers or am I just a dick?
@@timelesscynic2495 😂 I don’t know you so it’s possible the answer is both…but if you’re basing it on observations then it is what it is.
@@timelesscynic2495some mannerism annoy people 🤷♂️ it is what it is lol. You have to ask yourself if that’s really why you hate him or not i suppose.
I've just started watching and I have to say I'm struck by how genuine Destiny is. This is how conversations should be conducted.
You must not have seen other interviews with Destiny in it then
@@alphaprimer I have and he seems the same so what are you talking about
He gets emotional and throws ad hominem attacks in addition to just being hyper contrarian for no reason @@nozers
@@alphaprimer No
ooooohh lol. lame. @@grabthememesandrun1204
This was a fantastic conversation between two genuinely level headed guys. Loved it.
Destiny is correct that with complexity comes more ability to insert bullshit explanations from outside like wild conspiracies, but the flipside of that is that complex organisations also hide information from within as well. That is members in large heirarchies lose direct contact with the costs of their actions and will have an incentive to reap benefits that push risks onto others, while obscured by the complexity. Actual conspiracies, corruption, incompetence, and moral hazards are therefore all bound to increase with the scale.
Word.
Well put.
agreeeeed
I mean….we wouldn’t fill in holes if they weren’t constantly making em for us 😂❤
Destiny’s response “Do you have a per reviewed study or wiki article that demonstrates corruption at conspiracies occur?”
Love this setup man. I usually only listen to this type of podcast but I can't take my eyes off this.
I think it’s too much.
this was a very good talk. Haven't seen too many of your videos Chris but I might be a new regular
28:35 My friend just told me he was an ideologue the other day, and its really made me question whether I even want to be around him anymore for this very reason lol. It makes me so angry when someone decides an ideology just defines them without failure. Even if you hold a belief for your entire life, you should be open throughout that time to other ideas in case a change needs to be made. This example explains exactly why.
Thank you Chris for bringing this strong independent woman on the podcast ❤
Glorious
Next interview you do, please highlight more irrational positions on the left that irk you, then give a couple on the right, just to balance out things. But start with the left.
The left: everything
Maybe one side is crazier than the other.
The far left has issues but they’re a very vocal but small minority while most of the right in America is actually insane in the sense that they can’t engage with reality anymore. They are the anti-science party. They would rather trust their health to an alternative media youtuber with a negative amount of understanding regarding medicine and biology instead of any amount of doctors or experts in the relevant fields.
Majorkade- “Please make fun of the less pervasively crazy side more so I can feel better about supporting the more crazy side”
@@Sanu1 must be quoting yourself, not me. I use my own brain. No herd thinking here. No left, no right. Critical thinking. Just give it all to me. No withholding. 😉
Destiny's point about Peterson is the same way I feel. I was an early listener to Jordan and relly loved his lectures, but lately, I can't be bothered to listen to him as much, although I haven't lost all respect for him, but he's not as compelling as he was at the beginning.
Whatever weird shit he did in Russia absolutely ruined him. He’s not the same as he was before. It’s tragic.
@@deriznohappehquitehe was crazy long before that.
@@deriznohappehquite It's the Anti-Depressant Saga. The stuff he took is just awful, I know lots of people with depression they stay as far away from "Benzos" as they can.
I was 54 when I got my diagnosis. My life and me finally make sense. Anyone else noticing Destiny’s lack of speed? He talks in a more normal speed which makes it easier to follow. Good job guys!
I don't think they're becoming dumber, they're not being pushed and supported to reach their full potential.
We really breaking ground with this one 🗣🗣🗣💥💥💥🔥🔥🐱
“Your cell phones aren’t being used to listen to you.” Wiki - Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008
not to mention cross app tracking and selling data. Its not even a question that its happening, its just that the data is looked at in aggregate not personally.
Can you state which part of that act condones the listening of cell phones of US citizens?
@@beansdestroyerthere’s a difference between listening to you through your phone and collecting phone records like who was spoken to, for how long, etc. Most, if not all, of the inquiries by intelligence agencies are looked into when a US citizen is in contact with a suspected terrorist.
Now think about what is defined as 'domestic terrorism' nowadays.
@@Kobet2 bro…..god you’re not helping your argument 😂❤ The POINT is that they’re collecting information that many people consider as “private” ❤
At the moment for me, Destiny is the most interesting and complex characters on the Social Medias. He's obviously highly intelligent and his thoughts and ideas are quite vast and diverse. He came from a very different background than myself so it's cool to see how he sees his world. I do see a few things where he is terribly misinformed and it's very frustrating to see someone that smart say such dumb things and have 100% confidence in the statements. Very interesting dude, thanks for having him on. It's good for us to see differing viewpoints then we have a better understanding on how the other side thinks so we can best communicate with them on that level to hopefully bridge the gap of understanding. Great stuff as always Chris!
Which things is he misinformed on if I may ask?
@@Pezerinno His take on Jan 6th. Some of his Trump takes are way off just with facts really. It's very strange to hear someone talk and talk and talk with such logic and sense then they talk Trump or similar and they sound like they've lost their minds. I'm pretty sure they will research Trump Derangement Syndrome in Universities in the future. It's truly fascinating.
@@dumbguydepot304thanks for your reply 👍
@@dumbguydepot304 Hes done so much rersearch at this point into jan 6 i guarantee you he knows way more than you. Anyone he brought on stream to debate about it he completely dismantled them so idk wth you are talking about
@@nozers He still calls it an Insurrection. It wasn't. Because they (secret service or the Capital police or DOJ or similar) basically delayed the crucial information from being released to the Senate or whomever was in charge of the FOI for the date had to wait 2 + years to learn about the claims made. So no, he obviously doesn't have the same information I have (maybe since those interviews etc he has learned about these developments, I'm not sure) but he's basing everything on typical MSM reporting. But we know this is by design. The media just spews garbage to spin the story. Most people then believe what they're told. When the truth finally comes out years later the damage has been done which was the entire point.
Destiny is a game's name.
Yo, what the hell is this quality. This is by far the best looking podcast I have ever seen.
48:00 In the mid 2000s staying up until 2am with the boys to see the Girls Gone Wild commercials on Comedy Central, that steelpan popping off invokes something in me.
Got dayum, this camera work is the best podcast video i have ever seen
Somehow the overly cinematic video quality made me think that this is AI generated
Same, sometimes it looked kinda uncanny

great image, "Have we reached Peak Stupidity ?" showing Destiny's face. Bravo Chris.
Great talk! Love the disposable fold-out table, its not distracting at all :-P
These were really good questions, great video!
I truly feel dumber. I feel like I've lost wisdom I had as a teen. I don't know if my pursuit of hearing other experiences and perspectives has let me allow the vortex of the internet influence me too much or what. Don't like it.
Society has become unmoored from values that used to be a given. The feeling you’re thinking of is closer to destabilization or ungrounding than stupidity - imo.
Those who control the internet should not control your reality gor theirs. You lost yourself but you have the ability to find yourself too
Keep listening to destiny boy and you're sure to lose several IQ points
Schizo commenter
I'm not really understanding how you feel dumber. Can you give examples? I definitely don't relate so I would like to understand what you mean. I personally feel more educated, focused in my beliefs/values, and enlightened than ever.

This was a great discussion. I appreciate this format a ton, really engaging and Chris has a very concise conduct that allows you to get a good idea of who the guest is
People have such a big problem with Destiny's speaking speed but I'm on 1.5 speed.😅
i use an extension to go 4x, there's levels to this 😎
Hello fellow adhd person
I watched it in 1.75x but I usually do 2x so I had to slow down

I skipped to the end of the video. Get on my level
To be confident and not delusional is a real skill.
do you think that confidence is often accompanied by or stems from delusion?
Confidence is backed by competence.
@@Lienhardismus To some degree yes .
@@re1 it should, but is this actually the case? plenty of people stating things with astounding confidence without actually having any competence and education in the matter I would even say people who are only superficially informed on something are usually more confident then they should
@@ricasso777 i think this is interesting to think about, i often ponder about how widespread delusion is among people i believe a great deal of people do not actually live in reality for sure all the religions and spiritual types are delusional to some degree then all the people who have a false image of themselves, probably almost all people myself included are afflicted by this maybe a certain degree of delusion is beneficial who knows
I’m just glad to see two mortal enemies actually sit down and talk. I don’t have anything to say about the talk, it’s just important that I acknowledge they did in fact talk, despite their wildly different views. Kudos.
great to see this interview. Most of the media would have us believe that you 2 are opposing ends of this made up tension between woke and alt right but to see you 2 share a platform is refreshing
Destinys face was the perfect thumbnail for "peak stupidity" lmfaooo
He’s not stupid, it actually takes a lot smarts to patch all the doublethink in his world view. I mean flat earthers work a lot harder than 🌍 ers.
"im mad that he argues well against my political beliefs" is what u meant to say

Idk how Chris reads my mind when he picks some of these guests. I’ve always been a fan of both of these guys and it’s good to see them together.
Destiny's got a pretty good point about college. I think if you have a good plan and get a STEM degree or a similar degree in something you know will be an asset in the job market, it's probably the way to go, unless you take on too much debt. College is also a really good place to meet people and learn how to socialize. Nothing wrong with great community colleges or trade schools either.
Nice to see a strong, independent black woman being interviewed. Destiny can replace Oprah in the public consciousness, she is missed.
Yas Queen. Strong and brave.

@@erik4177 So its allowed when its not on Destiny's channel....? NAILS
This is so beautifully filmed, no stupid 3/4 shots, just 4 (or 3) beautifully placed cameras in a prettily crafted setting. It's perfect cinematic work. Raise these lads salary, they outdid themselves.
this is a joke right? Nothing about this is cinematic.
This podcast looks incredible. Lighting, color, shot angle. Very well done
The guy in the green room you were thinking of is Kyle Kulinski host of secular talk. Married to Krystal.
Nah, I think he was referring to David Pakman. He moreso fits the description of the green screens and such
Haha KKK
@@SlamDunkerDonkeyhe’s definitely referring to Kyle. His set usually has a green tint and he’s more closely associated to Krystal and Sagar. David Pakman uses blues/gray background.
I’m listening to podcast just to see what destiny will have to say I will give him a chance 🙂
What did you think?
I find him deeply disingenuous.
@@georges4061 Thats what I thought initially then my opinion completely changed to the opposite after this video
@@rohanjarande what destiny says in the first 6 minutes rings true with me 🤔after that meh
I feel like Destiny has really grown watching this compared to what I've seen in the past
nah hes been mostly like this since 2016ish. The difference is this is the first time youve actually watched him talk and not a 10second out of context clip or someone you watch flat out lying about him lol
5:53 Reminds me of Wendell Berry's explanation of why he didn't want to buy a computer, as he writes in his absolutely wonderful essay "Feminism, the Body, and the Machine."
Goths and Emos were about an aesthetic. Today, because the internet is about communicating ideas and information, we have cognitive fashion trends.
But they aren’t cognitive, as that implies reason. They’re social. These ideas are the same thing as black lipstick was for goths, a conspicuous sacrifice to one’s social fitness in general, in order to demonstrate fealty to a particular social class. The only people capable of cognizance on a vast array of polarizing topics are anti-social people, and they are oft ignored by virtue of their anti-sociality.
Goth I was pretty sure was a culture and lifestyle. Emo is way more of a aesthetic since it came with a slew of different but similar ones like scene.
That or they all coalesced into the Alt aesthetic.
@@tristenatorplaysgames6833 Goth and Emo were separate subcultures before Emo just become a fashion movement separate from the original subculture and Goth is sorta going that way but the Gothic overlap with the metal community is leading to harder gatekeeping to keep the subculture focused so it may dilute a bit but I don't think it'll be as much of a lost cause/disconnect the 2000s Emo movement was/is.
They're all in Salem Ore now
I enjoy listening to Destiny. I don't usually agree with his political takes but it's easy to see that they come from principles and a genuine belief in good. His most valuable insight, in my opinion, is into topics like the Internet, content creators, and gaming. These are in his wheelhouse. It was great to hear his thoughts about ADHD and especially Jordan Peterson at the end.
💯
“We don’t see the world as it is, we see the world as we are”.
I really like this setup but the table shaking….once noticed it can’t be ignored lol
Gained a little bit of respect for destiny after he did a debate with Ben Shapiro on the Lex Friedman Podcast
So happy to hear a proud white women speak on variety of issues
I find myself reminded of a book I read many years ago. Paolo Bacigalupi... Pump Six. It was a cautionary dystopian tale. Now, it's absolutely frightening.
Love seeing your evolution Chris! You are successfully working on things you said you were going to, and that is very much respectable.
I would assume by now, he would refer to himself by his real name vs. his StarCraft name. Then again, I suppose if his gamer tag was bananaeater83 he would go back to Steve.
tbf he had to fight to keep his name from being taken from the game company, idk if he'll ever let it go for legal reasons
Sargon of Akkad eventually dropped his gamertag to go by his real name of Carl Benjamin. He grew up. Destiny clearly has not.
I mean its the name he built his brand on, it makes sense to stick to it imo.
@@rishnixtell that to "The Rock"
The ultimate plot twist will be he was poopfeast420 all along!
Before the mobile phone, it was a common practice to remember phone numbers, not just numbers but for everything in life, now you got that second brain in your pocket, the smart phone, you just rely on that,
And that's why some of us have journals on us to keep our information, ideas, numbers, curiosities etc. Use the phone as little as possible.
Remember the Filofax? Address book.
You need to remember a number if you catch a case and need bail. God Bless my sister who took that call in '05.
Bro….no one FORCES you to make contacts for everyone 😂😂 I literally just wanted to remember numbers ….so I did 😂❤
Before the mobile phone, if you were a responsible adult, you would write their number down in your address book. What's the difference?
I had to double check that i wasnt listening to this on 2x speed. Dear lord ive never heard someone talk so fast in my life.
