Here, you could've killed pink. Blocked him from re-entering Spain and allowed him to snatch the capital back. Thus allowing yourself to get a world dom win. BTW good insight on all your philosophical views. It's nice to hear someone else say what I believe exactly lol.
Most people who hate the religion really hates the clergy, you sound like that to me. I'm catholic, but i have problems with the current Pope and with some of the clergy who profess the theology of liberation, a heretic theology who says Jesus was some kind of revolutionary hippie who wanted "social justice". And your religion concept seems way too strange. I assume you never heard of natural law? Sure, the nature of this world is one full of injustices and suffering, but we have God-given rights that even the government can't take from us. The first one is life. There can't be any rights without the right to life, that's why we should protect human life from conception till death. I suppose you understand a child isn't really your body, the premise is already wrong. But still, we tell people all the time what they can't do with their bodies: You can't drive under the influence, you can't go around naked anywhere you want, you can't kill yourself or kill someone because they wanted it (at least you couldn't 20 minutes ago). And i'd argue all of those are pretty good reasons to have some kind of restriction on peoples liberties. Sure, we shouldn't regulate how much salt you can ingest, but as we live in a society, there are some behavior that we don't find acceptable, and the law is all about that, otherwise, we'd live in anarchy, again. If more understood the concept of human dignity, they'd see that living druged on the streets can't lead to a fulfilling life. And an addict doesn't destroy only his live, but of all his family and his community as well. Maybe you think there should be no government at all?
I don't hate religion per se I hate rules that don't make sense and won't work. I do not believe in rights as a concept, I find conversations about rights to be mostly high minded platitudes to make us feel better about our poverty and enslavement and give us false hope. Yes, my definition of religion is extremely broad. Social justice is currently function like the newest religion. So you're doing a fairly good job of articulating my position which I appreciate. Again the notion of human dignity is another idea that I would question. If we truly sought to emobdy a virtue of human dignity every person alive today would see the fact that any other person would be homeless or starving as so unacceptable we would end it in an instant together. And until we do that as a minimum baseline I find conversations about rights, dignity and natural law to fall flat to my ears. It's a nice way to get lawyers to charge 100s of dollars and hour but not as nice a way to actually lift up so many from poverty.
I know you hate it when people say correct or not correct but I actually think any semi complex move or move where you have to take lots of territories makes slider blitzing incorrect. The mistake rate is too high and the risk of what happens when you fail because of slidering is high as well. So the cost of a few troops over the course of a game where hundreds of troops are won and lost to ensure the moves are successful is worth it. When I watch long games of any streamer or yter then make errors with the slider almost every game. So at a point I stop because my own cost analysis is that I would cost myself more using the slider than not.
Totally. Unless you have built up the skill to the point where you're not going to make an error but that comes at the cost of other things cognitively
hey Pete, I always kind of knew u have those based and enlightened opinions on the world without ever really hearing them so far just by how u talk and I love ure videos for that, do u know the egg theory from kurzgesagt? Pretty basic video about the illusion of separation, I feel like u would really enjoy the podcast higher mind if u want it a hole lot deeper, we are all one much love ❤
There is an old show called dark matters, I think the episode dives deep on the topic of solipsisim. Wherein, the author of a mathematical therom goes crazy, by trying to disprove his own work. Which is, that "selflessness" does not exist. It's an evolutionary trait. If you do something good, outta the kindness of your heart, you still feel good in return, hence we are still pretty selfish.
I've always felt like progressive should be a percentage scale instead of a fixed amount each trade. 5,6,8,10,12,14,17, 20, 24,29,35,42,50,60,72,87 etc 20% increases for example.
Just saying i feel like new or strange game set up would not be so desastrous for a new player since the better one would be on an unknow situation like the new player instead of the good player knowing where they going against new player that don't
36:55 - I still go with the idea that the gods have an invested disinterest in 'good' and 'evil' - that's entirely on us as people to deal with. Our world is our Heaven or Hell, and it's humanity that decides what kind of world we have. What comes after? *shrug* I just believe we continue on, just elsewhere.
39:50 - I think that's one reason I like Shinto. No laws. Just ... 'try to be a decent person and help your community', and then they back off and let you do your thing.
The big disconnect on the pro-choice vs pro-life argument is that pro-life people believe the rights of the infant exist and pro-choice people don't. That's why it's such a polarized, charged issue, because people who are pro-choice feel they are fighting for womens rights and people who are pro-life feel they are fighting for infant rights. People who are pro-choice will often use rational arguments like, it lowers crime, lowers dependence on social programs, etc. But it all falls on deaf ears to anyone who views the fetus as a person. It makes it an extremely agitating conversation, since there is a pure, fundamental, difference of opinion in the conflicting viewpoints, and as such all conversations between the two sides make no progress, and so you see that really only conversations within your own echochamber can be civilized. For me, personally, I viewed the fetus as a person at 3 months up until my wife got pregnant, at which point from the instant the pregnancy test said positive the fetus was my child to me. And I thought "How can I rationalize to myself that a fetus isn't a person, when this fetus to suggest it is anything less than a person would be massively insulting to me?" Perhaps a woman doesn't feel that way about her fetus, but is a child less of a person because their parents don't love them? I don't believe in the concept of a soul, but as a citizen of humanity as well, it feels wrong to suggest the humanity magically appears at anywhere other than conception. I think if you're going to have a stance, you must have a concrete reason why you feel the fetus should or shouldn't have human rights. And that's really the only stance you need. Everything else is irrelevant.
I don't think the concept of us existing past death makes much sense. Some of our matter and energy will persist but I think of it more as returning to the oneness from which we came.
@The Kill Pete Strategy I find it so tantalizing that there is knowledge about the universe that we will never know from our seat here on earth in this time. I hope that when we return to that oneness, we also gain understanding.
I was thinking about this off and on, have you ever played the old Risk II game on DVD which had 'Same Time Risk'? th-cam.com/video/DmcCsHLbQSs/w-d-xo.html I loved playing same time Risk. :) I doubt it's actually possible in real life, but if that option came out for Global Domination, I'd LOVE it.
The slider is ridiculous. If you are rolling a 10 v 1 with real dice, it makes no difference to your odds of losing troops whether you attack with 4 or 10, so why they have that has a function, is beyond me. It seems more like a glitch they just don't want or know how to fix.
Interesting take on the government allowing whatever to be legal. If that is the case, should the government fund bad choices people make? If we do allow legality of horrible societal consequential choices, should we also fund the spiraling down-turn that society forms? Reference: th-cam.com/video/gWFlpCBMyIk/w-d-xo.html
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I get you but isn't that what laws formed from society are for? Not pressing you, just asking. Like what can we do in the face of all the drug abuse and addicts as a result? Or do you mean not hard drugs?
I think creating a law is a compromise. It's admitting that we have failed as a culture to regulate behaviour properly and need some priest class of nerds to codify our behaviour for us. Law does not equal justice. As far as drug use look into experiments where they gave mice cocaine. If the mice had no stimulation in their lives they became hopelessly addicted to the cocaine, if they did have 'proper' stimulation they did not. Apply this principle to humans and I would say it's not the drug that's the problem, but again the fact that the culture is sick and not providing us with meaningful choices and actions. @@suedoemine1832
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Very interesting and thanks for the convo. I agree that the discussion should be more about the system that allows (actually encourages) both law enforcement and Politian's to lie. I also agree that A plus B equals C us get poor and I tend to think us against them should be C against both A and B, which essentially are the same corrupt thing pretending, as you say, to be different. I will keep it vague though for the thought patrol. The culture is a different convo and is pushed and led by A and B. I may DM you on the risk discord because you are interesting. Good chat.
I see religion as a mathematical approach no matter the religion if you live life with out believing and there’s no god then it doesn’t matter and if their is a god your not going to be treated well “perhaps”= hell and if you do believe the equation still applies but at least you can say you believe that people aren’t the creators of everything which is also quite vain and agree pushy people with religion is absolutely the worst Pete what do you say to that logic
I've heard this argument many times. I love freedom and have my own personal relationship with what I call god. And I hope others do as well. But I would never presume to tell another person how to believe. I show them what works for me and let them make up their own mind.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy absolutely I think if I have time to switch to online creation I would love to do podcasts with people like your, self and have conversations like this I’m very open to hearing how people think and feel about any topic but like you I’m neutral and do not presume to impose
You could've taken Spain back but left pink with 1 territory next to that cap and left the cap empty so he took it back, then killed purple and finished pink with a world dom win.
I love Pete, but that is going to far. We are building a like-minded community and Pete has a huge soap box - which he was very kind in sharing with me once. But this is not a leader cult.
My opinion on religion is that there is no mystical god that creates us, but there is something that balances energy in life, which can be understood as everything we can’t comprehend. I also think being religious is positive because it helps you maintain good values, but also choose your own values that match who you want to be from there.
I hope that when you are discussing philosophy from a perspective of education that you remember to do so more or less atheistically to your own philosophy. I think you have a really cool platform for it but would hate to see you go down the modern ideogogue route like so many these days. Then when people are educated we can all discuss our takes on it from a place of strength.
I think about that a ton! I do place skepticism as a high virtue so I'm interested in rooting out and eliminating my own ideological thoughts when I come to notice them.
Do you believe in right and wrong, or morals in general. You said your Spiritual, but not religious. What is the foundation of this belief. How do you define your spirituality? Religions tell you what they believe, because they believe in morals. If someone believes in being good to others, and loving others, and DOESN’T tell other people about it, then they probably don’t believe it. I’m very religious, not because I want to tell you how to live, but because I have concluded that there is a higher power, and following that higher power is the right thing to do. If that’s the case, then what am I supposed to do BESIDES share my beliefs. If I don’t share them, that leaves everyone else in a worse position. (We should separate sharing your ideals, and actually forcing people into your beliefs. Me telling someone “believe this or I’ll hurt you” is quite different than saying “not believing in this will make you have a worse life.” Also, religions don’t do things, people do. Every group, the “left,” or “right,” Christians, Pagans, Muslims, has done something terrible. That doesn’t mean that those religions are. Attack the doctrines of a religion, not the actions individuals might take.)
My approach to conversations of ethics is from the perspective of a philosopher not a theologian. Yes I do believe in ethics but the vantage point of the observer tells us much about the sorts of ethical valuations that observer will make.
@@TheKillPeteStrategyI usually do the same thing(think from the perspective of a philosopher, instead of a theologian), as that makes my faith much stronger. Thanks for the reply man. I think it’s always important to respect people regardless of differences of opinion, and you seem like a genuinely pleasant guy to be around. I’m rooting you on in your upcoming championships!
The drawing tools are more for the viewer than they are a benefit to me. If anything they take some time and skill to use that I could otherwise be focusing on the game with but I am trying to make the best show I can.
such a lopsided game, So I had to comment on the free will question. "do we have free will?".... - The answer is not what most people would like to hear because it has no regard for law, decency, or feelings in any way.... The answer is Yes of course you have free will, but first you have to abandon social norms, personal convictions, and even human decency. The you have to be willing to pay for that with social consequences, personal psychological consequences, and if you have a religion your religious consequences.... If you have the ability disregard all those roadblocks then absolutely you can make any choice you so desire. Its the main reason why a True Sociopath is extremely scary to most people.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy We are constrained by our nature, however we are also (in animal terms) extremely cognitive with an ability to rationalize a lack of empathy.... Think Soldiers, as a soldier we were told to take out the enemy. Why ?because... they are evil, save our country, save brothers in arms, save self. very strong rationalization. It does not feel good nor is it a primary impulse, but its happens daily. As far as "True Sociopaths" which are quite rare, They have no need of that rationalizing because they had no roadblocks. Side note: One of the most interesting things about True Sociopaths is that they do not suffer from any other the other crippling mental Psychoses that "murderers" do. .... Wait... OK So now I have to completely rethink my answer and Say Maybe Pete is more correct, we only have the illusion of free will and the only people with FREE WILL by definition are True Sociopaths...
It’s more than your own body, it’s an issue affecting other people (the baby), and attitudes in society. It’s a a social issue, issue of society, therefore all embers of society have a say, and as it is murder, it is illegal. Reference is obvious
After watching so many of your videos, you seemed to express more conservatism than not. However, while viewing this one, I was dissapointed to hear that you do not seem to value the life of a human being inside a mother's womb. Government has every right (and should) protect the life of the innocent, I'm sure you would agree. As for telling women what to do with their bodies, the government of course cannot prevent them from having sex. Promiscuous women must know and face the cosequences of sex, which, lots of times ends up being pregnancy. Many women think abortion is the only way, and many regret it because it is simply not natural to end your own child's life. There are organizations that will help women who have unwanted pregnancies (pregnancy resource centers), and that spare the life of the child... maybe you know about them, maybe you don't. I certainly hope that you would agree that when a life can be spared, it should be, even at the cost of someone's convenience or comfort. I would definitly encourage you to dig deeper into this topic and learn how and why abortion became a thing. Sometimes all people hear is pro-abortion propanganda, and they accept it without question. Unless you actually have no respect for human life, you will find that the case for abortion does not hold water, especially when compared to the case for life.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Irrespective of what you identify as, everyone should know and seek the truth. Those who don’t are living a lie, and need to tell themselves more lies to support the lies they already believe. That is what I see with pro-choice advocates
Re: Abortion. I don't like it, but I respect a woman's right to choose - my opinion on the matter isn't relevant. Re: Drugs. While I loathe them with the fury of a thousand suns - I think decriminalizing them is probably the best route to go - it will ruin the drug trade which is just a net positive, and it makes it a lot easier to help addicts. This, from someone who watched his father become a driver for drug dealers, become an addict, and destroy his family in the last two years. :\
Just because you aren't a woman doesn't mean you don't get a say in the abortion debate. I absolutely believe that the holocaust was one of the worst tragedies humanity has ever seen, does my belief about the holocaust become invalid because I am not Jewish? No, because humans have the innate ability to tell right from wrong regardless of who we are. Abortion is wrong, and people telling you that you don't get a voice because you are a man is sexist and wrong.
The best way I’ve found to genuinely confuse religious people is by using logic. Asking them how many times they’ve told their kids only a “God” can create life ruins them 😂
With most systems of faith everything follows nice and logically once the leap of faith is taken. The disconnect is getting a person to admit they believe something 'for no reason' which is totally fine and I have no judgment of that. I take all sorts of things on faith personally. But I don't go around trying to fit that into a package of logic to try and convince others to think as I do...
It often makes people happy to assume that others are stupid compared to themselves, but it is quite insulting and naive to think that religious people cannot use logic.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy There is nothing wrong with trying to convince someone. If you are walking towards a cliff, I would try to convince you not to do that. The problems seem to come from the assumption that all religions are wrong or that we couldn't know if one of them actually was true. Assuming that religious people only believe, because they cannot think for themselves is simply naive.
I love your Risk content but can definitely do without your philosophy. Your views are childish, similar to what I had when I was like 17 years old. And that is fine, you live in one of the most privileged countries in the world, shielded from the evil outside your doorstep. It makes sense that your world view would be superficial and sound like something that comes straight out of a textbook, while complaining the world is mind controlling people. I think, before someone is allowed to study philosophy, they should be forced to live out in the world and experience different places and cultures for several years.
Robert, TH-cam comments are certainly not the forum to discuss such thing as it is not a free speech platform. I have built philosophy forums into my Discord server if you care to attempt to have an actual conversation about what you believe. As far as your ad hominem goes, you should know that your engagement is good for my channel, so I thank you for it.

And an addict doesn't destroy only his live, but of all his family and his community as well.
Maybe you think there should be no government at all?
I don't hate religion per se I hate rules that don't make sense and won't work.
I do not believe in rights as a concept, I find conversations about rights to be mostly high minded platitudes to make us feel better about our poverty and enslavement and give us false hope. Yes, my definition of religion is extremely broad. Social justice is currently function like the newest religion. So you're doing a fairly good job of articulating my position which I appreciate.
Again the notion of human dignity is another idea that I would question. If we truly sought to emobdy a virtue of human dignity every person alive today would see the fact that any other person would be homeless or starving as so unacceptable we would end it in an instant together. And until we do that as a minimum baseline I find conversations about rights, dignity and natural law to fall flat to my ears. It's a nice way to get lawyers to charge 100s of dollars and hour but not as nice a way to actually lift up so many from poverty.
I know you hate it when people say correct or not correct but I actually think any semi complex move or move where you have to take lots of territories makes slider blitzing incorrect. The mistake rate is too high and the risk of what happens when you fail because of slidering is high as well. So the cost of a few troops over the course of a game where hundreds of troops are won and lost to ensure the moves are successful is worth it. When I watch long games of any streamer or yter then make errors with the slider almost every game. So at a point I stop because my own cost analysis is that I would cost myself more using the slider than not.
Totally. Unless you have built up the skill to the point where you're not going to make an error but that comes at the cost of other things cognitively
the issue of making an espectator feature on risk kinda ruins the fog of war due to metagaming
hey Pete, I always kind of knew u have those based and enlightened opinions on the world without ever really hearing them so far just by how u talk and I love ure videos for that, do u know the egg theory from kurzgesagt? Pretty basic video about the illusion of separation, I feel like u would really enjoy the podcast higher mind if u want it a hole lot deeper, we are all one much love ❤
I'll look it up now.
There is an old show called dark matters, I think the episode dives deep on the topic of solipsisim. Wherein, the author of a mathematical therom goes crazy, by trying to disprove his own work. Which is, that "selflessness" does not exist. It's an evolutionary trait. If you do something good, outta the kindness of your heart, you still feel good in return, hence we are still pretty selfish.
I would have to agree. I never pretend to be an altruist which I think works out very well in the context of a free for all game.
I've always felt like progressive should be a percentage scale instead of a fixed amount each trade. 5,6,8,10,12,14,17, 20, 24,29,35,42,50,60,72,87 etc 20% increases for example.
Nice game pete
Just saying i feel like new or strange game set up would not be so desastrous for a new player since the better one would be on an unknow situation like the new player instead of the good player knowing where they going against new player that don't
What is up....riisskk....TAAAAKKKEEEERRRSSS!
Eyyy
The way you talk really reminds me Megamogwai
That green 3 would of been a great cap
Definitely. I'm glad I was able to block that with my pick
36:55 - I still go with the idea that the gods have an invested disinterest in 'good' and 'evil' - that's entirely on us as people to deal with. Our world is our Heaven or Hell, and it's humanity that decides what kind of world we have. What comes after? *shrug* I just believe we continue on, just elsewhere.
39:50 - I think that's one reason I like Shinto. No laws. Just ... 'try to be a decent person and help your community', and then they back off and let you do your thing.
Pete how do you get the different shapes on the territories? (The troop number display)
I think is a option for colorblind people
Colourblind mode.
Is it too late to sign up for the tourney???
I wonder what Pete thinks happens after death? And what the point of this life is?
Says he doesn’t believe in justice , then let’s the chat decide the justice……😂
- "This is why I don't use the slider, I hate that thing"
- Has been using it every turn.
I don't get it.
I hate it so much
The big disconnect on the pro-choice vs pro-life argument is that pro-life people believe the rights of the infant exist and pro-choice people don't.
That's why it's such a polarized, charged issue, because people who are pro-choice feel they are fighting for womens rights and people who are pro-life feel they are fighting for infant rights. People who are pro-choice will often use rational arguments like, it lowers crime, lowers dependence on social programs, etc. But it all falls on deaf ears to anyone who views the fetus as a person.
It makes it an extremely agitating conversation, since there is a pure, fundamental, difference of opinion in the conflicting viewpoints, and as such all conversations between the two sides make no progress, and so you see that really only conversations within your own echochamber can be civilized.
For me, personally, I viewed the fetus as a person at 3 months up until my wife got pregnant, at which point from the instant the pregnancy test said positive the fetus was my child to me. And I thought "How can I rationalize to myself that a fetus isn't a person, when this fetus to suggest it is anything less than a person would be massively insulting to me?"
Perhaps a woman doesn't feel that way about her fetus, but is a child less of a person because their parents don't love them? I don't believe in the concept of a soul, but as a citizen of humanity as well, it feels wrong to suggest the humanity magically appears at anywhere other than conception.
I think if you're going to have a stance, you must have a concrete reason why you feel the fetus should or shouldn't have human rights. And that's really the only stance you need. Everything else is irrelevant.
i did not know pete was this based
🙏
Holy shit Pete the way you think is so interesting to me, I would love to sit and just talk with you for hours
🙏🙏🙏 perhaps that's why people are interested to hear me talk
The slider should operate the most efficient as possible regardless if using the maximum troops or not
That's why we're working on a new risk idea to get it fixed
oh wow, wasaent aware of the high mind what pete has, I am happily suprised
Pete, do you think that when we die we will have access to knowledge that was not accessible in this world we are now experiencing?
I don't think the concept of us existing past death makes much sense. Some of our matter and energy will persist but I think of it more as returning to the oneness from which we came.
@The Kill Pete Strategy I find it so tantalizing that there is knowledge about the universe that we will never know from our seat here on earth in this time. I hope that when we return to that oneness, we also gain understanding.
this man only has good takes
Love this map!!
Spoilers:
Purple definitely deserved 3rd imo, didn’t really play the game just cap stacked from my interpretation
Wait, this is published earlier than usual, right?
I did
Hi could u tell me how to register to ur tournament?
But imagine if green capped on that 3 locking Pete in.
Hmmmmm
I bet k would have deserved it
I was thinking about this off and on, have you ever played the old Risk II game on DVD which had 'Same Time Risk'?
th-cam.com/video/DmcCsHLbQSs/w-d-xo.html
I loved playing same time Risk. :) I doubt it's actually possible in real life, but if that option came out for Global Domination, I'd LOVE it.

He was playing with his food in this one.
Good for you for going back to greedy!
Playing well to compensate for bad philosophy... Thanks!
The slider is ridiculous. If you are rolling a 10 v 1 with real dice, it makes no difference to your odds of losing troops whether you attack with 4 or 10, so why they have that has a function, is beyond me. It seems more like a glitch they just don't want or know how to fix.
It’s good for when you want to reduce the size of an opponent’s stack by a certain amount
Because you can only slow roll a certain amount
It's not the slider that causes the over loss of troops. It's the way balanced blitz itself works. The slider is a cumbersome means to fix that.
I love how he gates stalemate but it's because of him most games stalemate...
Games stalemate because of settings not players.
Interesting take on the government allowing whatever to be legal. If that is the case, should the government fund bad choices people make? If we do allow legality of horrible societal consequential choices, should we also fund the spiraling down-turn that society forms? Reference: th-cam.com/video/gWFlpCBMyIk/w-d-xo.html
I don't presume that it is the job of the government to protect society from our own bad decisions. That's our job as the society
@@TheKillPeteStrategy I get you but isn't that what laws formed from society are for? Not pressing you, just asking. Like what can we do in the face of all the drug abuse and addicts as a result? Or do you mean not hard drugs?
I think creating a law is a compromise. It's admitting that we have failed as a culture to regulate behaviour properly and need some priest class of nerds to codify our behaviour for us. Law does not equal justice.
As far as drug use look into experiments where they gave mice cocaine. If the mice had no stimulation in their lives they became hopelessly addicted to the cocaine, if they did have 'proper' stimulation they did not. Apply this principle to humans and I would say it's not the drug that's the problem, but again the fact that the culture is sick and not providing us with meaningful choices and actions.
@@suedoemine1832
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Very interesting and thanks for the convo. I agree that the discussion should be more about the system that allows (actually encourages) both law enforcement and Politian's to lie. I also agree that A plus B equals C us get poor and I tend to think us against them should be C against both A and B, which essentially are the same corrupt thing pretending, as you say, to be different. I will keep it vague though for the thought patrol. The culture is a different convo and is pushed and led by A and B. I may DM you on the risk discord because you are interesting. Good chat.
Ive never played..but wanting too. So checking it out
Welcome!
Favorite map and settings
They're really good ones!
arent discussions and arguments partly telling you what to think?
My caps games end by cardblock most of the time.
novice to grandmaster actually took me 2months. Not long really
Well done!
Every time I see the slider screw up your game it makes me so frustrated for you
It's upsetting
BEST GAME MODE MOREEEEEEE
I see religion as a mathematical approach no matter the religion if you live life with out believing and there’s no god then it doesn’t matter and if their is a god your not going to be treated well “perhaps”= hell and if you do believe the equation still applies but at least you can say you believe that people aren’t the creators of everything which is also quite vain and agree pushy people with religion is absolutely the worst Pete what do you say to that logic
I've heard this argument many times. I love freedom and have my own personal relationship with what I call god. And I hope others do as well. But I would never presume to tell another person how to believe. I show them what works for me and let them make up their own mind.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy absolutely I think if I have time to switch to online creation I would love to do podcasts with people like your, self and have conversations like this I’m very open to hearing how people think and feel about any topic but like you I’m neutral and do not presume to impose
Pink was a homie please kill purple! Cmonnnnnnnnnn
You could've taken Spain back but left pink with 1 territory next to that cap and left the cap empty so he took it back, then killed purple and finished pink with a world dom win.

It's all about seduction!
Pete is litterely modern-day Socrates. Thank you for your enlightening words every stream and video ❤
That's high praise. Thank you!
I love Pete, but that is going to far. We are building a like-minded community and Pete has a huge soap box - which he was very kind in sharing with me once. But this is not a leader cult.
@@SebastianUlrich85 Socrates > Pete obviously
@@TheKillPeteStrategy And Pete > Arnie 😏
My opinion on religion is that there is no mystical god that creates us, but there is something that balances energy in life, which can be understood as everything we can’t comprehend. I also think being religious is positive because it helps you maintain good values, but also choose your own values that match who you want to be from there.
Cool. Discussions about politics and religion.
I hope that when you are discussing philosophy from a perspective of education that you remember to do so more or less atheistically to your own philosophy. I think you have a really cool platform for it but would hate to see you go down the modern ideogogue route like so many these days. Then when people are educated we can all discuss our takes on it from a place of strength.
I think about that a ton!
I do place skepticism as a high virtue so I'm interested in rooting out and eliminating my own ideological thoughts when I come to notice them.
Do you believe in right and wrong, or morals in general.
You said your Spiritual, but not religious. What is the foundation of this belief. How do you define your spirituality?
Religions tell you what they believe, because they believe in morals. If someone believes in being good to others, and loving others, and DOESN’T tell other people about it, then they probably don’t believe it. I’m very religious, not because I want to tell you how to live, but because I have concluded that there is a higher power, and following that higher power is the right thing to do. If that’s the case, then what am I supposed to do BESIDES share my beliefs. If I don’t share them, that leaves everyone else in a worse position.
(We should separate sharing your ideals, and actually forcing people into your beliefs. Me telling someone “believe this or I’ll hurt you” is quite different than saying “not believing in this will make you have a worse life.” Also, religions don’t do things, people do. Every group, the “left,” or “right,” Christians, Pagans, Muslims, has done something terrible. That doesn’t mean that those religions are. Attack the doctrines of a religion, not the actions individuals might take.)
My approach to conversations of ethics is from the perspective of a philosopher not a theologian. Yes I do believe in ethics but the vantage point of the observer tells us much about the sorts of ethical valuations that observer will make.
@@TheKillPeteStrategyI usually do the same thing(think from the perspective of a philosopher, instead of a theologian), as that makes my faith much stronger.
Thanks for the reply man. I think it’s always important to respect people regardless of differences of opinion, and you seem like a genuinely pleasant guy to be around. I’m rooting you on in your upcoming championships!
circling the cap with a tool outside of risk seems like cheating
The drawing tools are more for the viewer than they are a benefit to me. If anything they take some time and skill to use that I could otherwise be focusing on the game with but I am trying to make the best show I can.
such a lopsided game, So I had to comment on the free will question. "do we have free will?".... - The answer is not what most people would like to hear because it has no regard for law, decency, or feelings in any way.... The answer is Yes of course you have free will, but first you have to abandon social norms, personal convictions, and even human decency. The you have to be willing to pay for that with social consequences, personal psychological consequences, and if you have a religion your religious consequences.... If you have the ability disregard all those roadblocks then absolutely you can make any choice you so desire. Its the main reason why a True Sociopath is extremely scary to most people.
We are constrained by our nature. Part of that is that built in empathy circuit that keeps you from being what you described as a sociopath.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy We are constrained by our nature, however we are also (in animal terms) extremely cognitive with an ability to rationalize a lack of empathy.... Think Soldiers, as a soldier we were told to take out the enemy. Why ?because... they are evil, save our country, save brothers in arms, save self. very strong rationalization. It does not feel good nor is it a primary impulse, but its happens daily. As far as "True Sociopaths" which are quite rare, They have no need of that rationalizing because they had no roadblocks. Side note: One of the most interesting things about True Sociopaths is that they do not suffer from any other the other crippling mental Psychoses that "murderers" do. .... Wait... OK So now I have to completely rethink my answer and Say Maybe Pete is more correct, we only have the illusion of free will and the only people with FREE WILL by definition are True Sociopaths...

Best turn 1 in Risk history?
Big L on abortion take ngl.

Agree with you on the slider though it gets annoying.
It’s more than your own body, it’s an issue affecting other people (the baby), and attitudes in society. It’s a a social issue, issue of society, therefore all embers of society have a say, and as it is murder, it is illegal. Reference is obvious
omg
After watching so many of your videos, you seemed to express more conservatism than not. However, while viewing this one, I was dissapointed to hear that you do not seem to value the life of a human being inside a mother's womb. Government has every right (and should) protect the life of the innocent, I'm sure you would agree. As for telling women what to do with their bodies, the government of course cannot prevent them from having sex. Promiscuous women must know and face the cosequences of sex, which, lots of times ends up being pregnancy. Many women think abortion is the only way, and many regret it because it is simply not natural to end your own child's life. There are organizations that will help women who have unwanted pregnancies (pregnancy resource centers), and that spare the life of the child... maybe you know about them, maybe you don't. I certainly hope that you would agree that when a life can be spared, it should be, even at the cost of someone's convenience or comfort. I would definitly encourage you to dig deeper into this topic and learn how and why abortion became a thing. Sometimes all people hear is pro-abortion propanganda, and they accept it without question. Unless you actually have no respect for human life, you will find that the case for abortion does not hold water, especially when compared to the case for life.
I indentify as neither a conservative nor a liberal. I am a citizen of humanity and down for myself into false dichotomies.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Irrespective of what you identify as, everyone should know and seek the truth. Those who don’t are living a lie, and need to tell themselves more lies to support the lies they already believe. That is what I see with pro-choice advocates
You trust Kylted? Unsub immediately! ❤🎉

Wish we could keep politics and religion out of the videos
Honestly the first video that I didn’t like for that simple reason
It's very important to me that I'm able to think and speak freely.

Re: Abortion. I don't like it, but I respect a woman's right to choose - my opinion on the matter isn't relevant. Re: Drugs. While I loathe them with the fury of a thousand suns - I think decriminalizing them is probably the best route to go - it will ruin the drug trade which is just a net positive, and it makes it a lot easier to help addicts.
This, from someone who watched his father become a driver for drug dealers, become an addict, and destroy his family in the last two years. :\
Just because you aren't a woman doesn't mean you don't get a say in the abortion debate. I absolutely believe that the holocaust was one of the worst tragedies humanity has ever seen, does my belief about the holocaust become invalid because I am not Jewish? No, because humans have the innate ability to tell right from wrong regardless of who we are. Abortion is wrong, and people telling you that you don't get a voice because you are a man is sexist and wrong.
The best way I’ve found to genuinely confuse religious people is by using logic. Asking them how many times they’ve told their kids only a “God” can create life ruins them 😂
With most systems of faith everything follows nice and logically once the leap of faith is taken.
The disconnect is getting a person to admit they believe something 'for no reason' which is totally fine and I have no judgment of that. I take all sorts of things on faith personally. But I don't go around trying to fit that into a package of logic to try and convince others to think as I do...
It often makes people happy to assume that others are stupid compared to themselves, but it is quite insulting and naive to think that religious people cannot use logic.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy There is nothing wrong with trying to convince someone. If you are walking towards a cliff, I would try to convince you not to do that. The problems seem to come from the assumption that all religions are wrong or that we couldn't know if one of them actually was true. Assuming that religious people only believe, because they cannot think for themselves is simply naive.
I love your Risk content but can definitely do without your philosophy. Your views are childish, similar to what I had when I was like 17 years old. And that is fine, you live in one of the most privileged countries in the world, shielded from the evil outside your doorstep. It makes sense that your world view would be superficial and sound like something that comes straight out of a textbook, while complaining the world is mind controlling people.
I think, before someone is allowed to study philosophy, they should be forced to live out in the world and experience different places and cultures for several years.
Robert, TH-cam comments are certainly not the forum to discuss such thing as it is not a free speech platform.
I have built philosophy forums into my Discord server if you care to attempt to have an actual conversation about what you believe.
As far as your ad hominem goes, you should know that your engagement is good for my channel, so I thank you for it.
