@daytheone8459 He literally in this very video said all conservatives are secretly just fascists, lol. Also we can all see what he said on Twitter, lmao. Why do Destiny stans think tu quoque is a valid form of argument? Oh that's because Destiny keeps using it and they keep blindly following him.

@@MiasmaTazmaI have to presume that you agree with Destiny's position? I have to admit I'm guilty, I only got to 1 minute before I had to stop watching because of Destiny's "TikTok brain" position. Along with his first 60 seconds of nonsense, when I saw him sipping the red bull, I decided I had better things to do with my time. This is because I have watched him on another podcast I wasn't impressed with his logic, rationality, empathy or compassion. So as somebody who obviously did watch the whole of this podcast, I'd love to know what you thought.
@@liamweavers9291 I think he's right about alot of things. I know he does thorough research and even if I may disagree with his conclusion. His factual basis is mostly pretty solid. I understand that he can come off harsh and cold, although I don't think that makes someone a bad person. I've never seen him do anything morally reprehensible. If he had one of his detractors would have exposed him for it. I think he's fed up with the current political climate and I agree with him. I think the Left has been mostly push overs and it's nice to see someone pushing back. The Right has lots of people taking verbal swings and he's really the only Leftist swinging back.
@@liamweavers9291 "I watched .6% of the video and then I saw the person drink an energy drink.

It's like me commenting under a YT video of a political rally about how the speech was bad while saying I closed it when I saw the candidate walk on stage.

@@saskiafinnan4216 Because of how intolerant he is to others. Glad this guy died? It doesn't make his own arguments look good at all. He sounds like a POS who'd be happy if anybody who disagreed with him were imprisoned. He's just another fool with a twitter account that angry people who can't listen to balanced arguments follow
Why is it so difficult to understand. That there is a big difference between saying that someone's death doesn't affect you because you don't know the person and saying that you find it funny that someone is shot dead because you don't agree with someone's political opinion. People who think like Destiny are dangerous to society. Whether you like it or not people have different opinions, they don't have to die for that. If you think so, then you don't belong in a free society.
This audience does not tolerate sentiments that encourage apathy towards violence because bad discourse becomes an excuse to become foul. No amount of faux sophistication excuses many of the points he has made. That being said 90% of the conversation on general topics are just fine but people are here to react to the 10%.
@nathnaellegesse4 Jesus. Destiny said SO MUCH, and you're fixated on one thing. In all fairness, for someone that agrees with almost everything he says, that take he had about the guy who died was very edgy. I probably wouldn't have said that if I had his platform. He could've just denounced it while adding a caveat. So, I understood his point, but a guy getting randomly killed is probably not the best circumstance to express that message. Nevertheless, it was an edgy take, not a mindless one. He's literally so correct on everything. One edgy take doesn't negate that.
"TDS" is unfortunately one of the most succinct and yet effective ad hom attacks we've seen recently. Three simple letters that attempt to undercut any substantive claim without actually addressing it in any way shape or form. But it is par for the course. Trump and those who defend him have made great strides with simple sloganeering. However, to anyone who spends more than 5 seconds thinking, it's obvious that crying "TDS" is the exact same thing as shouting "NU-UH" through bleary, red eyes.

At first it was a bit too much for me to hear destiny saying "f**k that guy", but now knowing more about the context, I can see how unfair and even malicious Piers Morgan and others are to put the ultimatum between you are either condemning the firefighter being killed or you're glorifying it, like there're no other options. Such a bad faith narrative. It's clarified explicitly at 2:31:41 what destiny meant. Good podcast. The more I listen to him the more he makes sense.
I was super conservative when i first stumbled upon him but his thinking is logical. I don’t agree with everything he does especially now, but he can explain and argue through any of what he says. He is absolutely abrasive to those he disagrees with but that grit smoothed out the concepts in a way that helps me to settle on what is right.
I'm not sure if Destiny was compelled to comment on the killing of that guy, but couldn't he at least have stayed quiet if he had nothing decent/human to say? I mean isn't that a always the third option?
“Such a bad faith narrative” i swear to god if a leftist like hasan or a conservative was like ugh this is so hard being given two options between condemning and endorsing murder of my political opponents i guarantee this would be like considered an evil thing But when youre a neolib and arguing for the status quo you can get away with this because ure acting in “good faith”, but if vaush were to say “i feel nothing if obama, netyuhah or henry kissinger died” we’d get numerous think pieces on how we shouldnt vote for free health care because “leftists are mean”
The first reasonable comment I have read. I certainly had a knee-jerk reaction of distaste for his original comments, but after hearing all this context, I can actually say my opinions have shifted slightly.

Trump saying the second amendment people could “do something about Hillary taking away their 2A rights” is a hell of a lot more literal than Biden saying we need to put Trump in a bullseye. Trump’s statement implies an action should be taken, while Biden’s is a well known figure of speech and metaphor.
Also Biden said that in a private call with investors, while Trump said that at one of his rallies in front of a massive audience of his supporters. Why should Biden apologize when Trump would never do the same in a million years?
Not going to vote for trump but he's right on that. People that try to take away rights "should be taken care of", don't like our core beliefs, gtfo. The bullseye comment was stupid to say but I doubt he genuinely was hinting at literally putting him in a bullseye.

@TomBilyeu There is a technical issue with this video. The camera feed showing both of you is out of sync with the audio, by a lot. I find this very distracting. Please fix this for future viewers.
Oh my god, this was killing me. I thought it was on my end and tried rebooting, restarting the browser, closing down my Docker containers running in the background. It seemed like it came and went a few times throughout this entire video. It seemed to be the worst in the wide-angle views where both of them are on screen.
I think a better analogy for the “stubbed toe” concept would be: If you’ve ever had a spider on you and you see it, you deal with it, know the danger has passed and move on. If someone falsely tells you there’s a spider on you, you panic and start searching for something that’s not there while begging the person whom has told you to save you from the spider. If there were substantial empirical evidence in public information of election interference- we would deal with the problem, ease minds, and increase faith in the system. When you have a party telling you there’s election interference while having no empirical evidence, it creates panic and makes them believe that the only solution is to seek help from the people whom have told you there’s a problem.
And yet every single common sense proposal to strengthen the integrity and minimize the potential for election malfeasance is met with extreme resistance by the other party... There is substantial evidence. That it has not been spoon fed to you by the corporate media nor have you been motivated to expend the minimal amount of time and energy required to research it, does not negate it's existence. But a problem is not actually a problem for people who perceive themselves as being the beneficiaries of the consequences, and nobody likes to admit when they have been played for a fool.
Great analogy! My question is at what point does an adult person say, "Hey, wait a minute... the same people keep telling me I have a spider on me but I never actually see it and it never does anything to me, even if it IS there, so it's possible they aren't telling the truth or maybe these so calleds piders just aren't that dangerous"?
@@breadconsumer5833 I think Tom's another former liberal that's finding out how far the left has strayed from sanity land. This conversation was revealing for all of us.
I’ve been watching Destiny for a few months now quite regularly, even watching content from over the last few years. The only time he’s changed his opinions is when he’s received new information. He is absolutely a man of conviction, generally doesn’t form concrete conclusions before putting in the research, n is never afraid to voice those conclusions/opinions. I may not agree with him on everything but at least I know I can trust the things he espouses
@vanessa4truth297 Watched him for years now and he's become one of, if not the, most grounded commentators. Like you say, he puts the work in so that he can come to a conclusion, rather than cheerleading a side and post hoc reasoning to a position. His approach to Israel Gaza are a great example and while I may disagree on some elements, he's always totally across the facts and assigns conviction relative to the significance of those facts. On that basis, he's always worth listening to, even if I come away disagreeing sometimes, I'll have rigorously challenged my views and reached a better understanding which fulfills my most valued goal when listening to people in this space.
This guy brings up a conspiracy book about JFK several times whilst admitting he hasn’t done the relevant research to draw any conclusions from it. Then he….proceeds to draw conclusions and form arguments about the deep state based on what he’s read so far. I’m so tired of the intellectual laziness of people like this. How about you finish the book, read another one from a different perspective, do some more relevant research, think about it some more and then bring it up six times in your next interview. Then the rest of his talking points revolve around vague ideas about “values”. We need more literate thinkers in this space.
I’d love to see Tom host a few of his viewers who disagree with Destiny on air for a 1 on 1 conversation with Destiny. I think Tom could keep things on the rails and constructive.
So we could hear the conservative destiny fans deny the 1000+ pieces of evidence that walk you to the obvious conclusion that Trump tried to coup the government?
His viewers seem to be mostly mindless trolls who write "TDS" repeatedly. None of these people would ever show their face in a real room for a real conversation.
Destiny' quote about centrists is so accurate. Never met a "centrist pundit" who did not play constant defence for Trump, while holding every Dem to another standard.
21:15 "No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that *democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time* " - from a Nov 1947 speech to the House of Commons. As it implies, he was not the first to say it.
@@somethingthisway The word for that issue is 'majoritarianism'; which can exist in both. Typically the alternative in both is 'constitutionalism', or liberal checks and balances more broadly. At least in the west, systems of both names tend to be constitutional. Formally, republics are defined by having a president rather than a monarch. They can however be oligarchies. Democracies are defined by the power residing with the populace (typically representative through Congress). They are allowed to have a figurehead monarch, or can be part of a dual system (e.g. UK). The two, as such, do not contradict. France and the US are democratic republics, at least on paper. That of course is a significant note. Russia is a republic, but it might as well be a monarchy. The Netherlands is a monarchy, but de facto a republic, while the Dutch Republic frequently was a monarchy. Nobody knows what the UK is, least of all the British. The Democratic Party acts much as an oligarchy, while the Republican Party's leader is seen by many as a pseudo-monarch. We'll not even get into "democratic peeople's republics" ;). Anwyay, enough rambling.
@@somethingthisway America is a democracy. Democracy is an extremely broad term that basically just means "through some system, the population votes for the government they want". Whether that is through representatives or directly voting on policies or whatever. That is all democracy is. I see people confuse this with the concept of "direct democracy" which is a more specific system. Yes, certainly America is not and has never been a direct democracy. But America IS a democracy.
His idea that american democracy is better than all the alternatives is laughable. Ranked choice voting is better, proportional representation is better than an EC, having a cabinet you can vote on individually is better than having a president that appoints people himself. This is the most bizarre cope, i dont like aspects of my country but Britain’s democracy is way better than America’s right wing versus far right system

“I’m an adult and I never really cared about politics but now I’m forced into it and I identify as a ‘centrist.’” Adult baby’s first ideologies: libertarian or centrist. Shocking!
Strange. Most young people I know are, as I was, a "Proggressive Leftist" and it's only later in life that they change to a more 'conservative' point. I think that usually the very strong will to change things and be special is mostly a juvenile thing. So I think being a centrist and putting a bit more value on our built knowledge instead of shouting for changes is a more mature thinking and not an Adult Baby thinking.

I loved this video. Listening to Destiny talk is always the best when he is talking with someone who is open to hearing what he is saying and has the willingness to understand it too. For the most part, people just shout their own narrative and just grab keywords from their 'opponents' speech to further their own agenda. I really think this whole sense-making apparatus is a really good approach to conversations. I only wish more people would participate in this with this thought in mind rather than having an opinion from the start and sticking to it regardless of what is said.
Yeah this is Destiny in his best form cuz he doesn’t need to be combative n the viewers are much more open to his message. I see lots of people saying that they understand his thoughts on the assassination attempt n not having sympathy for the guy who died now that they’ve heard his reasoning for the opinions he has. He really gained a good amount of new followers with this interview n also pissed off a lot of conservatives 😂 just read through some of these comments to see the whiny Trumpers hating on him but never offering anything of substance to disprove anything Destiny says
I used to be somewhat a fan of destiny because he seamed reasonable and well researched on most of his topics. The last few weeks he's been unhinged. Being ok with political violence and making fun of an innocent father who died. He's become exactly what he made fun of, streamers like Vaush or Hasanabi who lost their shit due to being online too much.

1:03 “beliefs are so abstract now.” I love Destiny’s rock example, showcasing how relatively easy concrete beliefs that are false can get disproved quickly. But now that things are so abstract it’s relatively less easy. My summary lacks much of the nuance. This part is great! Reminds me of Alan Watts talking about this very point about how problems used to be based on things that were more concrete. Like war over a woman (Troy). Now it’s about Capitalism vs Communism vs Socialism. The nature of abstract and concrete reality bares the relationship of the map to the landscape.
Crazy that we are still fighting over economic systems that were designed hundreds of years ago by authors who would not even be able to conceptualize computers or AI.
49:30 This is surprise for me, as long time critic of Stephen's, that he would ever course correct. I thought he was way too soft on Shapiro and Peterson and could have easily shut down some of their ridiculous and smug positions. He literally let Peterson walk away thinking he'd dunked on the libtards in one fell swoop just because Stephen sat there and let him ramble on nonsensically. I've been curious if if he was just bored by grandpa's inanity or if he was thinking it was so silly it wasn't worth the time.. So, it's interesting that a fire got lit under his ass, and I'm glad to see it.
Agree. I used to really enjoy his content not because I always agreed with him (and I still don't on some things) but because I could at least see he was following a logical thought process, arguing in good faith, and we had a common goal and disagreed on things that are reasonable to have disagreements about. But it became impossible to watch him be so passive with not just conservative but absolutely batshit commentators that they became somehow aligned or put in the same group even though they actually disagreed so heavily. Hearing him say that is on the one hand depressing because I really wish it was possible to just have good faith discussions and bring people over slowly, but also really vindicating and positive because I think it's a much better direction for him to go until the conservative thought window is back into a normal area.
I think he originally thought there was credence to the right wing positions. Partly this was due to his desire to distance himself from the left. It was cathartic for him to find comradery in a mutual dislike of the left. But he decided to be too friendly to the right. He wasn't willing to call out their hate based motivations because he thought he needed to make that concession in order to be in the same room as these conservatives. Now after he looks back at his last 2 yrs in the road with the likes of pbd, he understands that he surrendered his biggest weapon by not basing his arguments on the fundamental and in in my opinion correct principle that right wingers never argue in hood faith. You only have to peel the onion back a few layers to see the pettiness and feelings based reasons for their motives. They go low when making their points by attacking the motives of their opponents. Destiny failed to understand how critical it was to do likewise when debating these reactionaries.
@@user-kt8dy7pc8n Yes, he was definitely taken in by the idea of being platformed by the leading far right figures of social media. I think this was around the time he permanently lost his twitch stream (from saying blm protestors should be mowed down, etc) and he might have just been trying to replace lost income. I wondered if he was about to go the way of Rogan (for years claimed to be a centrist Dem and now is a full on right winger) and Pool and Rubin. His performance at the LF "debate" on Palestine was appalling. And letting people like Shapiro and Peterson, who aren't even close to his intellectual equal, burble out their nonsense unchallenged and call it a debate was inexplicable. Thankfully I didn't catch the Bet David one (sounds gross), but I did see PBD's exchange with David Pakman, and that was entertaining. Pakman is no chimp, but not equal to Stephen's bandwidth either, and he wrapped PBD up np.

I watched some of Tom's videos a few years ago, and am coming back now for this interview. I either missed it a couple years ago, or maybe he has changed, but man is Tom ever so conspiratorial. This reminds me so much of the Destiny + Peterson interview, minus the colorful disagreement and debate.
Speaking only for myself, I hope that content creators like Tom keep having this guy on. The margin of victory in November needs to be large enough to overcome whatever 'fortification' will be implemented.
It also makes unnational people more assured in their delusion and their ideas of how to respond. Unnational responses are not usually good or healthy.
Yeah centrists are probably the most diverse political group by far. Because being a centrist isn't defined by specific positions, but rather having a relativistic amount of left wing and right wing positions, you could have two people who are completely opposed to each other on literally every issue, but who are both undoubtedly centrists.
This comment section highlights the problem Destiny is talking about. People react first but don't wait to think because going against that emotional reaction makes them uncomfortable. The stronger the reaction is, worse it is to overcome it. And people have spent time in their echo chambers for a very long time.

Respect to Tom for not being a fake "centrist" or moderate like the ones filling the comments section. It is amazing how the last 8 corpses Destiny made an edgy jokes about got no outrage but when its a maga cultist it suddenly is unacceptable. Destiny is correct we need sane republicans & an actual pro America conservatives in the US. Unfortunately while i respect Tom i think he shows he wasn't paying attention. Destiny didn't have many good conversations or debates with the right wing. Shapiro was the best but even then it was intentionally non confrontational & Ben avoided engaging. I enjoy the blood sports but i think Destiny's concern is valid. Most of those nice conversations are just on some level letting these extreme unreasonable arguments seem like the normal acceptable position for the average American conservative. This was a really good interview respect to you Tom for having a spine.
My respect for you, being able to keep your eye on the goal of the conversation while listening to this individual exemplify everything he says he hates, whilst he seethes beneath a thin veneer of objectivity, has jumped so much higher than the high bar I see your intellect as. To his point of not wasting his time talking to ignorant people (who I assume he gets to decide when and where that designation begins) I would not waste my time or energy engaging with him because it appears to me that he is not interested in learning something beyond his paradigm. His approach is demonstrably arrogant and narrow. He is dangerous and I don’t care what his politics might be…. He is an instrument of felling democracy and thwarting human potential toward something better than we’ve been. In my ignorant opinion, no doubt.
I think you just don't listen. These two guys agreed on a lot of things during this conversation, and I would say they are similarly intelligent and sensible. Tom reached out to him because he saw him as a sensible voice out there in a general discourse, but his take on no symphathy triggered Tom's belief that division is the only thing that guarantees us a bad outcome. Destiny clarified that he sees that currently there is lots of crap in the minds of people (conspiracies, immoral conservative beliefs, and just factually wrong stuff), and liberals are supposed to kneel while conservatives avoid responsibility with their atrocious beliefs. He believes they raised the temperature in America, and he can't respect somebody who supports Trump because of January 6, etc. Everything you said is wrong. You don't understand how Tom really views him - he doesn't need respect for having a conversation with him because they have a similar take on issues, and it seems there is even chemistry between them. He is not ignorant or close-minded. He is talking in detail about processing information, problems with closed-mindedness, etc. They are both discussing the importance of others having divisive and different views to cover one's blind spots (in other words, helping one with open-mindedness). He said that he was making conservative beliefs seem more legitimate before and now tries to be less open to obviously ridiculous things. He may be interested in learning outside of his paradigm - he just rejects obvious crap on the spot more often now. If you were more open-minded and tried to listen and understand him, you wouldn't come to any of your false conclusions.

It's up for a debate if it could be any good or if it's just bad. You may be right. In his view, conservatives who support Trump support all kinds of misinformation and harmful ideas for society. For comparison, they could be as bad as Nazis or neo-Nazis in his mind. By his words, he doesn't wish them death, but when it comes to it, he doesn't feel empathy for them. Questions arise: Isn't it natural to not feel it for people who we believe are led by the wrong moral compass or harmful beliefs? Should we pretend that we feel something for them when it's not true? I personally don't know. So you don't agree with him just on this, or is there something else too? Btw, I also like your thoughtfulness and general phrasing. It really feels like a conversation with a human being. So thank you for that. :) And I am sorry that I said you didn't listen; it just seemed to me that way.

While I totally grasp his frustration with people he views as ‘in the other camp’, I cannot yet give up on myself as a human being and all that I hope that comes to mean… the best of us. I think we will always repeat the worst of history when we see enemies everywhere, and further when we are willing to deny their humanity or right to stumble through- as everyone must stumble through. He is dangerously becoming what is most frightening about us humans. He only cares about his version of rightness and his assessment of what makes someone worthy of consideration. It seems exceedingly elitist and narrow focused. And entirely political. I agree with you so much that He isn’t concerned with ethics, nor higher levels of thinking through alternative paradigms. He seems to believe that he has the capacity to know what is right for everyone. And if someone, intelligent or not, is not aligned with his determination, they are not worthy of compassion or respect. In my very personal opinion, which doesn’t amount to a hill of beans since I do not know him personally, he seems either to have always pretended not to be this way, until now, or he has given up on our species as having a potential to evolve, and therefore it’s about control and power. I too give up on us many times a day, but at the end of the day, I am responsible for the world I reinforce through my point of view. How might our history ever turn out any differently than what we’ve had since human history began if, when things are at their worst, we do not choose something different. My questions are not a challenge… they are the questions I keep asking myself when I get frustrated and become saddened by those of us who, like him, give up and surrender to our darkest tendencies just to win a battle. What of the greater war fought within each of us to deserve our own hope for a better world by way of better versions of ourselves. To have better will always require being better. We will never have better by being our worst self. I have no desire to be in a world where there is no hope allowed but anyone who deems anyone else as subhuman. Anyway, it is nice to chat with you too. Thank you for your receptivity.

@@comfusedWorldpassanger3399 I think it's funny that people support Trump because of how he bullies people ("projects strength" ), makes up insults for his political opponents, talks about "2nd amendment people" taking care of others, but lose their mind when a liberal doesn't show sympathy for violence enacted on one of his supporters (by another conservative, to boot). Truly the dankest timeline. If this amiable dude were actively calling for violence it would be heinous and disgusting, but all he's doing is saying he doesn't have any sympathy for it, which is completely understandable in this context.
@@cahzriel_wonka Should have left it with your top comment dude. With this one you are just taking your mask off. Trump is not the bully here. He doesnt assassinate, jail or use mass media to demonize or suppress people.

You gonna back that up with substance? Or are you going to prove the strawman argument 100% correct by not backing anything up like all conservatives do?
I love how you give people the chance to explain their thought processes, I do think the rhetoric on the right is insane and it seems like they're lashing out without giving substantial critique. SUBSCRIBED ❤
You seem to be in the minority..... many are unsubscribing. The rhetoric on both sides is insane. 🤷🏾♀️. Destiny didn't give any substantial critique or even answered many of the questions Tom asked. Destiny in the past week or so is the personification of "lashing out". He has no sympathy for a fellow American who died saying one less vote for Trump as if this is a game he's playing. Or that he would vote for Biden even if he were in a urn..... If trump is deranged, destiny is suffering from Trump derangement syndrome.
@@BouncySlim1 I thought all the responses given were quite introspective or at least were fine, is there an example that you can point out which you feel like wasn't substantive? Tom at least did his due diligence in terms of probing and criticizing Destiny's methods and rhetoric in this conversation, it does feel like people are only subscribing because they don't like the guest and aren't particularly criticizing the material of the video. From the other side I've seen no sympathy for people like Paul Pelosi, another fellow American who got attacked in their home, so all I see is hypocrisy. If I saw exemplary behavior from the other side I would absolutely criticize Destiny, but I would probably agree that is far from the case.
@@SnappishLace Destiny has a way of saying a lot, but saying absolutely nothing. I have an obsolete cellphone........ I don't watch much news, so was unaware of the attack on Pelosi until Destiny appeared on Piers Morgan. The attack on Paul sounds awful and was absolutely wrong. Violence of any nature should be condemned. That being said, (this might be just me), there's no equivalence of the attack on Paul and the attempted assassination of trump. One was private and the other public. Let me explain. There were thousands of men, women and children in attendance at the rally. If the gunman were successful and trump got his brains blown out, imagine the mental scars that would have marked the lives of all those in attendance...... especially the children. There will be some PTSD for those who watched as Corey lost his life trying to protect his family as well as those who were injured. Quote: "If I saw exemplary behavior from the other side, I would absolutely criticize Destiny...." Did you actually read what you wrote? That statement is super hypocritical. You recognize that Destiny needs to be criticized, but won't because of what the other side is doing . Destiny deserves to be criticized *NO MATTER * what those on the other side of the aisle are doing. This is partly how our country has arrived to this point. No one in my camp can do no wrong, and if he does something wrong, the other side is doing wrong, so the wrong on my side is right. Call out wrong on both sides. Stand up for righteousness.
Wow Destiny has an extremely powerful audience. Literally every single comment is from his audience, all the top ones anyway. He has taken over this entire thread
Feel like a lot of Tom fans are missing the point of this episode - to me as a fan I’ve subscribed because I’ve agreed to go on the journey with Tom as he continues to nurture his perspective of the world - to observe how Tom builds his communication skills . I’ve never once created the expectation that information that’s comes out of a podcast should be taken as is - rather is it is grossly filtered through the topics constrained by the interviewer, in this case Tom. To me this is just one of Tom next chapters in building skills talking about controversial subject matters where splintering occurs across a vast spectrum of belief but is generally only labeled into a binary. And while others say that Tom is perhaps narrowed in his interest in covering only two sides (“both”) of the conversation - regardless of the multiple potential bins of ideologies (republic vs democrat vs “other”) this is where we are as a society. Constructing these stereotypes helps provide a jump point for us to begin figuring out the nuances of others perspectives - regardless of how flawed that initial assumption. Long story short - here for Tom’s skill building exercise/ exploration into what may seem to others as non representative of the “other side” or a form of irrationality.
Tom's responsibility is to curate the content so that the viewers time is not waisted. Our time on earth is limited, spending our time on things that have low value is squandering our time. A counterpoint from someone genuinely intelligent would have been great. This person is of very average intelligence. There are some VERY smart liberals. This guy, is not one of them. The average lifespan is less than 720,000 hours, Tom just caused thousands of people to waste a couple of them. Shame on Tom.

@1alebale1 You people are always talking about how tolerant you are and how bigoted we are. Funny stuff to be honest. At least we admit we aren't tolerant of certain ideals.
@@JamesStevensTEXALTA Being able to have authentic empathy or lived empathy is having lived through the same experience or a very similar experience as another. This can also vary due to the person’s life scope in perspective to the experience. When we can live with just empathy for others, and no judgement, that will be an elevated level of being in my opinion. I strive for this personally.
Tom switched it up. He's been courting all these conservative guest and right-wingers were here for it. He puts up an actually intelligent left wing commentator and people get angry.

Why is it so difficult to understand. That there is a big difference between saying that someone's death doesn't affect you because you don't know the person and saying that you find it funny that someone is shot dead because you don't agree with someone's political opinion. People who think like Destiny are dangerous to society. Whether you like it or not people have different opinions, they don't have to die for that. If you think so, then you don't belong in a free society.
This audience is not used to getting challenged lol.
This audience does not tolerate sentiments that encourage apathy towards violence because bad discourse becomes an excuse to become foul.

@nathnaellegesse4 Jesus. Destiny said SO MUCH, and you're fixated on one thing. In all fairness, for someone that agrees with almost everything he says, that take he had about the guy who died was very edgy. I probably wouldn't have said that if I had his platform. He could've just denounced it while adding a caveat. So, I understood his point, but a guy getting randomly killed is probably not the best circumstance to express that message. Nevertheless, it was an edgy take, not a mindless one. He's literally so correct on everything. One edgy take doesn't negate that.

"TDS" is unfortunately one of the most succinct and yet effective ad hom attacks we've seen recently. Three simple letters that attempt to undercut any substantive claim without actually addressing it in any way shape or form. But it is par for the course.

However, to anyone who spends more than 5 seconds thinking, it's obvious that crying "TDS" is the exact same thing as shouting "NU-UH" through bleary, red eyes.

At first it was a bit too much for me to hear destiny saying "f**k that guy", but now knowing more about the context, I can see how unfair and even malicious Piers Morgan and others are to put the ultimatum between you are either condemning the firefighter being killed or you're glorifying it, like there're no other options. Such a bad faith narrative. It's clarified explicitly at 2:31:41 what destiny meant. Good podcast. The more I listen to him the more he makes sense.
I was super conservative when i first stumbled upon him but his thinking is logical. I don’t agree with everything he does especially now, but he can explain and argue through any of what he says. He is absolutely abrasive to those he disagrees with but that grit smoothed out the concepts in a way that helps me to settle on what is right.
I'm not sure if Destiny was compelled to comment on the killing of that guy, but couldn't he at least have stayed quiet if he had nothing decent/human to say? I mean isn't that a always the third option?
Piers and his other guests are not good. But Destiny had made that statement on his own channel by himself.
“Such a bad faith narrative” i swear to god if a leftist like hasan or a conservative was like ugh this is so hard being given two options between condemning and endorsing murder of my political opponents i guarantee this would be like considered an evil thing

I think a better analogy for the “stubbed toe” concept would be: If you’ve ever had a spider on you and you see it, you deal with it, know the danger has passed and move on. If someone falsely tells you there’s a spider on you, you panic and start searching for something that’s not there while begging the person whom has told you to save you from the spider. If there were substantial empirical evidence in public information of election interference- we would deal with the problem, ease minds, and increase faith in the system. When you have a party telling you there’s election interference while having no empirical evidence, it creates panic and makes them believe that the only solution is to seek help from the people whom have told you there’s a problem.
Brilliant. Repeat this everywhere. (Not sarcasm, if that's in question)
I think these metaphors work perfectly together. 'Stubbed toe' explains how he got power, 'crying spider' is how he tried to keep it.
Excellent analogy!
And yet every single common sense proposal to strengthen the integrity and minimize the potential for election malfeasance is met with extreme resistance by the other party...
There is substantial evidence. That it has not been spoon fed to you by the corporate media nor have you been motivated to expend the minimal amount of time and energy required to research it, does not negate it's existence. But a problem is not actually a problem for people who perceive themselves as being the beneficiaries of the consequences, and nobody likes to admit when they have been played for a fool.
Great analogy! My question is at what point does an adult person say, "Hey, wait a minute... the same people keep telling me I have a spider on me but I never actually see it and it never does anything to me, even if it IS there, so it's possible they aren't telling the truth or maybe these so calleds piders just aren't that dangerous"?

The longer Tom talks, he sounds more conservative than centrist.... the longer Destiny talks, he reaffirms who he is.
I’ve been watching Destiny for a few months now quite regularly, even watching content from over the last few years. The only time he’s changed his opinions is when he’s received new information. He is absolutely a man of conviction, generally doesn’t form concrete conclusions before putting in the research, n is never afraid to voice those conclusions/opinions. I may not agree with him on everything but at least I know I can trust the things he espouses
@vanessa4truth297 Watched him for years now and he's become one of, if not the, most grounded commentators.
Like you say, he puts the work in so that he can come to a conclusion, rather than cheerleading a side and post hoc reasoning to a position.
His approach to Israel Gaza are a great example and while I may disagree on some elements, he's always totally across the facts and assigns conviction relative to the significance of those facts.
On that basis, he's always worth listening to, even if I come away disagreeing sometimes, I'll have rigorously challenged my views and reached a better understanding which fulfills my most valued goal when listening to people in this space.
This guy brings up a conspiracy book about JFK several times whilst admitting he hasn’t done the relevant research to draw any conclusions from it. Then he….proceeds to draw conclusions and form arguments about the deep state based on what he’s read so far. I’m so tired of the intellectual laziness of people like this. How about you finish the book, read another one from a different perspective, do some more relevant research, think about it some more and then bring it up six times in your next interview. Then the rest of his talking points revolve around vague ideas about “values”. We need more literate thinkers in this space.
The deep state doesn't exist. All intelligent people know this. I don't know about Tom now.
I’d love to see Tom host a few of his viewers who disagree with Destiny on air for a 1 on 1 conversation with Destiny. I think Tom could keep things on the rails and constructive.

The word for that issue is 'majoritarianism'; which can exist in both. Typically the alternative in both is 'constitutionalism', or liberal checks and balances more broadly. At least in the west, systems of both names tend to be constitutional.
Formally, republics are defined by having a president rather than a monarch. They can however be oligarchies.
Democracies are defined by the power residing with the populace (typically representative through Congress). They are allowed to have a figurehead monarch, or can be part of a dual system (e.g. UK).
The two, as such, do not contradict. France and the US are democratic republics, at least on paper.
That of course is a significant note. Russia is a republic, but it might as well be a monarchy. The Netherlands is a monarchy, but de facto a republic, while the Dutch Republic frequently was a monarchy. Nobody knows what the UK is, least of all the British. The Democratic Party acts much as an oligarchy, while the Republican Party's leader is seen by many as a pseudo-monarch. We'll not even get into "democratic peeople's republics" ;). Anwyay, enough rambling.
@@somethingthisway America is a democracy. Democracy is an extremely broad term that basically just means "through some system, the population votes for the government they want". Whether that is through representatives or directly voting on policies or whatever. That is all democracy is.

Ranked choice voting is better, proportional representation is better than an EC, having a cabinet you can vote on individually is better than having a president that appoints people himself. This is the most bizarre cope, i dont like aspects of my country but Britain’s democracy is way better than America’s right wing versus far right system
@@somethingthisway This is one of the stupidest points I ever hear, and only right wing Americans say it. America is a constitutional federal republic, which is a form of democracy.

“I’m an adult and I never really cared about politics but now I’m forced into it and I identify as a ‘centrist.’”
Adult baby’s first ideologies: libertarian or centrist. Shocking!
Strange. Most young people I know are, as I was, a "Proggressive Leftist" and it's only later in life that they change to a more 'conservative' point. I think that usually the very strong will to change things and be special is mostly a juvenile thing. So I think being a centrist and putting a bit more value on our built knowledge instead of shouting for changes is a more mature thinking and not an Adult Baby thinking.

I loved this video. Listening to Destiny talk is always the best when he is talking with someone who is open to hearing what he is saying and has the willingness to understand it too. For the most part, people just shout their own narrative and just grab keywords from their 'opponents' speech to further their own agenda.
I really think this whole sense-making apparatus is a really good approach to conversations. I only wish more people would participate in this with this thought in mind rather than having an opinion from the start and sticking to it regardless of what is said.
I agree. I also gooned to your pic (very cute)
Yeah this is Destiny in his best form cuz he doesn’t need to be combative n the viewers are much more open to his message. I see lots of people saying that they understand his thoughts on the assassination attempt n not having sympathy for the guy who died now that they’ve heard his reasoning for the opinions he has. He really gained a good amount of new followers with this interview n also pissed off a lot of conservatives 😂 just read through some of these comments to see the whiny Trumpers hating on him but never offering anything of substance to disprove anything Destiny says
This comment section is malfunctioning because they’ve never had someone on this channel challenge their worldview. Cognitive dissonance 🤯

Yeah that must be it 🤡
I used to be somewhat a fan of destiny because he seamed reasonable and well researched on most of his topics. The last few weeks he's been unhinged. Being ok with political violence and making fun of an innocent father who died. He's become exactly what he made fun of, streamers like Vaush or Hasanabi who lost their shit due to being online too much.
@@LK-ui9rx”well researched on most of his topics”
This is probably his second most researched topic after Israel Palestine. If you don’t like his opinion now, it’s because you disagree with the research. Not because anything has changed in his politics

90% of this conversation is Destiny saying "there is nothing wrong, we need to control the way people think". Yea good luck with that bro
Good comment bro.. very profound. You should start another circle-jerk maga podcast.
Destiny is an erudite autodidactic shock jock. He backs up his opinions with references, regardless how outlandish the public may regard them. If only more content creators took the time to inform themselves from multiple sources to support their arguments. You don't have to agree with all of his opinions. You have to give credit to the fact that he does his homework. Citations, please...

It's freaking weird.

That’s fascist
1:03 “beliefs are so abstract now.”
I love Destiny’s rock example, showcasing how relatively easy concrete beliefs that are false can get disproved quickly. But now that things are so abstract it’s relatively less easy. My summary lacks much of the nuance. This part is great! Reminds me of Alan Watts talking about this very point about how problems used to be based on things that were more concrete. Like war over a woman (Troy). Now it’s about Capitalism vs Communism vs Socialism. The nature of abstract and concrete reality bares the relationship of the map to the landscape.
Crazy that we are still fighting over economic systems that were designed hundreds of years ago by authors who would not even be able to conceptualize computers or AI.
Tom, I love that you do this. I disagree with Destiny a lot, but good to hear his opinion.
You've never heard this exact same opinion before? Wow, that's something I've not heard in about seven years.
stop saying people are insane when your ideologies speaks alot
Cope
49:30 This is surprise for me, as long time critic of Stephen's, that he would ever course correct. I thought he was way too soft on Shapiro and Peterson and could have easily shut down some of their ridiculous and smug positions. He literally let Peterson walk away thinking he'd dunked on the libtards in one fell swoop just because Stephen sat there and let him ramble on nonsensically. I've been curious if if he was just bored by grandpa's inanity or if he was thinking it was so silly it wasn't worth the time.. So, it's interesting that a fire got lit under his ass, and I'm glad to see it.
Would love to see follow up discussion with JP, Shapiro, Owens.
Agree. I used to really enjoy his content not because I always agreed with him (and I still don't on some things) but because I could at least see he was following a logical thought process, arguing in good faith, and we had a common goal and disagreed on things that are reasonable to have disagreements about. But it became impossible to watch him be so passive with not just conservative but absolutely batshit commentators that they became somehow aligned or put in the same group even though they actually disagreed so heavily. Hearing him say that is on the one hand depressing because I really wish it was possible to just have good faith discussions and bring people over slowly, but also really vindicating and positive because I think it's a much better direction for him to go until the conservative thought window is back into a normal area.
@@fu5ha_edits An apt analysis.
I think he originally thought there was credence to the right wing positions. Partly this was due to his desire to distance himself from the left. It was cathartic for him to find comradery in a mutual dislike of the left. But he decided to be too friendly to the right. He wasn't willing to call out their hate based motivations because he thought he needed to make that concession in order to be in the same room as these conservatives. Now after he looks back at his last 2 yrs in the road with the likes of pbd, he understands that he surrendered his biggest weapon by not basing his arguments on the fundamental and in in my opinion correct principle that right wingers never argue in hood faith. You only have to peel the onion back a few layers to see the pettiness and feelings based reasons for their motives. They go low when making their points by attacking the motives of their opponents. Destiny failed to understand how critical it was to do likewise when debating these reactionaries.
@@user-kt8dy7pc8n Yes, he was definitely taken in by the idea of being platformed by the leading far right figures of social media. I think this was around the time he permanently lost his twitch stream (from saying blm protestors should be mowed down, etc) and he might have just been trying to replace lost income. I wondered if he was about to go the way of Rogan (for years claimed to be a centrist Dem and now is a full on right winger) and Pool and Rubin. His performance at the LF "debate" on Palestine was appalling. And letting people like Shapiro and Peterson, who aren't even close to his intellectual equal, burble out their nonsense unchallenged and call it a debate was inexplicable. Thankfully I didn't catch the Bet David one (sounds gross), but I did see PBD's exchange with David Pakman, and that was entertaining. Pakman is no chimp, but not equal to Stephen's bandwidth either, and he wrapped PBD up np.
Destiny is the kind of girl to say something based after a traitor is shot.
Destiny is begging people to recognize this double standard , this could actually save the Republican Party from itself , and possibly our country

Na Destiny just moves his mouth in a weird way
I watched some of Tom's videos a few years ago, and am coming back now for this interview. I either missed it a couple years ago, or maybe he has changed, but man is Tom ever so conspiratorial. This reminds me so much of the Destiny + Peterson interview, minus the colorful disagreement and debate.
Speaking only for myself, I hope that content creators like Tom keep having this guy on. The margin of victory in November needs to be large enough to overcome whatever 'fortification' will be implemented.
😂
It also makes unnational people more assured in their delusion and their ideas of how to respond. Unnational responses are not usually good or healthy.
Unnational? Well done.
I'm a centrist and I'm voting for Kamala. We might not be many but we do exist.
Yeah centrists are probably the most diverse political group by far. Because being a centrist isn't defined by specific positions, but rather having a relativistic amount of left wing and right wing positions, you could have two people who are completely opposed to each other on literally every issue, but who are both undoubtedly centrists.
What a terrible vote.
This comment section highlights the problem Destiny is talking about. People react first but don't wait to think because going against that emotional reaction makes them uncomfortable. The stronger the reaction is, worse it is to overcome it. And people have spent time in their echo chambers for a very long time.
I think it’s the fact that so many people on the right come to the table in bad faith…it’s exhausting
The left NEVER does anything in good faith.
@@westonmeyer3110 Really? Ok, let's try this out quickly.
Climate change by means of Anthropogenic global warming is a fact. There's no debate to be had there. You either accept the fact for what it is, or you delude yourself into an objectively false belief. This is no different than flat earth. The earth is objectively round. It can be proven to be round in multiple different ways. It being round leads to a number of different effects, that have predictive power. Not accepting the fact that the earth is round is a delusion.
So, what are your thoughts on global warming?
Both sides do, but it happens more so on the right.
I see his point. He's viciously attacking the circular arguments and thinking prevalent in conservative/centrist media.
Oh wow, tim is full of shit. Did he say RFK? That is not a serious vote or comment.

Conservatives, focus on being correct and not what your group thinks. Bonnell is a great pipeline to reality.

It's not conservative *discourse* that's unreasonable. It's conservative *rhetoric*.
And your rhetoric is unacceptable
Man look at all the "definitely politically centrist" commenters here... 😂
Respect to Tom for not being a fake "centrist" or moderate like the ones filling the comments section.
It is amazing how the last 8 corpses Destiny made an edgy jokes about got no outrage but when its a maga cultist it suddenly is unacceptable.
Destiny is correct we need sane republicans & an actual pro America conservatives in the US.
Unfortunately while i respect Tom i think he shows he wasn't paying attention. Destiny didn't have many good conversations or debates with the right wing. Shapiro was the best but even then it was intentionally non confrontational & Ben avoided engaging.
I enjoy the blood sports but i think Destiny's concern is valid. Most of those nice conversations are just on some level letting these extreme unreasonable arguments seem like the normal acceptable position for the average American conservative.
This was a really good interview respect to you Tom for having a spine.
Sane conservatism in American politics is an oxymoron. When has conservatism last been sane? During Eisenhower times perhaps?
No one ever addresses how Destiny is wrong. All they ever do is smear him.
because he isn't.
And people HATE it when someone unlikable is right about something, they're wrong about.
Tom Bilyeu is hands down one of the best communicators on this planet. The best!!!
My respect for you, being able to keep your eye on the goal of the conversation while listening to this individual exemplify everything he says he hates, whilst he seethes beneath a thin veneer of objectivity, has jumped so much higher than the high bar I see your intellect as.
To his point of not wasting his time talking to ignorant people (who I assume he gets to decide when and where that designation begins) I would not waste my time or energy engaging with him because it appears to me that he is not interested in learning something beyond his paradigm. His approach is demonstrably arrogant and narrow. He is dangerous and I don’t care what his politics might be…. He is an instrument of felling democracy and thwarting human potential toward something better than we’ve been. In my ignorant opinion, no doubt.
I think you just don't listen. These two guys agreed on a lot of things during this conversation, and I would say they are similarly intelligent and sensible. Tom reached out to him because he saw him as a sensible voice out there in a general discourse, but his take on no symphathy triggered Tom's belief that division is the only thing that guarantees us a bad outcome. Destiny clarified that he sees that currently there is lots of crap in the minds of people (conspiracies, immoral conservative beliefs, and just factually wrong stuff), and liberals are supposed to kneel while conservatives avoid responsibility with their atrocious beliefs. He believes they raised the temperature in America, and he can't respect somebody who supports Trump because of January 6, etc.
Everything you said is wrong. You don't understand how Tom really views him - he doesn't need respect for having a conversation with him because they have a similar take on issues, and it seems there is even chemistry between them.
He is not ignorant or close-minded. He is talking in detail about processing information, problems with closed-mindedness, etc. They are both discussing the importance of others having divisive and different views to cover one's blind spots (in other words, helping one with open-mindedness).
He said that he was making conservative beliefs seem more legitimate before and now tries to be less open to obviously ridiculous things. He may be interested in learning outside of his paradigm - he just rejects obvious crap on the spot more often now.
If you were more open-minded and tried to listen and understand him, you wouldn't come to any of your false conclusions.
@@pribyslavkomensky7103 interesting response. Thoughtful and time consuming. I agree with the spirit of everything you said, other than my not listening. I listened very carefully. I stated my personal opinion, which stands, even in the face of yours. I just do not respect his guest’s approach. Can I understand the frustration which lead him to it? You bet!
But I think, personally, that when we sacrifice respect through general dehumanization in particular, we then are incubating a much bigger danger, as the history of human beings has demonstrated over and over again. Thank you for explaining your take. I appreciate the care you demonstrated and the relative civility of your delivery.
@@PetalynSwartHeartFueled I am actually not very sure about his radical, non-respecting approach. I only understand why he has it, but I definitely don't have my own opinion on it myself. It's up for a debate if it could be any good or if it's just bad. You may be right. In his view, conservatives who support Trump support all kinds of misinformation and harmful ideas for society. For comparison, they could be as bad as Nazis or neo-Nazis in his mind. By his words, he doesn't wish them death, but when it comes to it, he doesn't feel empathy for them.
Questions arise: Isn't it natural to not feel it for people who we believe are led by the wrong moral compass or harmful beliefs? Should we pretend that we feel something for them when it's not true? I personally don't know. So you don't agree with him just on this, or is there something else too? Btw, I also like your thoughtfulness and general phrasing. It really feels like a conversation with a human being. So thank you for that. :) And I am sorry that I said you didn't listen; it just seemed to me that way.
@@pribyslavkomensky7103 you know, I just am not yet willing to give up on trying to be better than our archaic selves. While I totally grasp his frustration with people he views as ‘in the other camp’, I cannot yet give up on myself as a human being and all that I hope that comes to mean… the best of us. I think we will always repeat the worst of history when we see enemies everywhere, and further when we are willing to deny their humanity or right to stumble through- as everyone must stumble through. He is dangerously becoming what is most frightening about us humans. He only cares about his version of rightness and his assessment of what makes someone worthy of consideration. It seems exceedingly elitist and narrow focused. And entirely political. I agree with you so much that He isn’t concerned with ethics, nor higher levels of thinking through alternative paradigms. He seems to believe that he has the capacity to know what is right for everyone. And if someone, intelligent or not, is not aligned with his determination, they are not worthy of compassion or respect. In my very personal opinion, which doesn’t amount to a hill of beans since I do not know him personally, he seems either to have always pretended not to be this way, until now, or he has given up on our species as having a potential to evolve, and therefore it’s about control and power. I too give up on us many times a day, but at the end of the day, I am responsible for the world I reinforce through my point of view.
How might our history ever turn out any differently than what we’ve had since human history began if, when things are at their worst, we do not choose something different.
My questions are not a challenge… they are the questions I keep asking myself when I get frustrated and become saddened by those of us who, like him, give up and surrender to our darkest tendencies just to win a battle. What of the greater war fought within each of us to deserve our own hope for a better world by way of better versions of ourselves. To have better will always require being better. We will never have better by being our worst self.
I have no desire to be in a world where there is no hope allowed but anyone who deems anyone else as subhuman.
Anyway, it is nice to chat with you too. Thank you for your receptivity.

@@comfusedWorldpassanger3399 I think it's funny that people support Trump because of how he bullies people ("projects strength" ), makes up insults for his political opponents, talks about "2nd amendment people" taking care of others, but lose their mind when a liberal doesn't show sympathy for violence enacted on one of his supporters (by another conservative, to boot). Truly the dankest timeline. If this amiable dude were actively calling for violence it would be heinous and disgusting, but all he's doing is saying he doesn't have any sympathy for it, which is completely understandable in this context.

Tom - Great question “What is the destination you are trying to get to “ Destiny is intellectually honest. Ask that question to guests from now on.
Anyone else think a lot of strawman arguments were made by Destiny?
You gonna back that up with substance? Or are you going to prove the strawman argument 100% correct by not backing anything up like all conservatives do?
I love how you give people the chance to explain their thought processes, I do think the rhetoric on the right is insane and it seems like they're lashing out without giving substantial critique. SUBSCRIBED ❤
Audio needs fixing in terms of sync though
Subscribed
You seem to be in the minority..... many are unsubscribing.
The rhetoric on both sides is insane. 🤷🏾♀️.
Destiny didn't give any substantial critique or even answered many of the questions Tom asked. Destiny in the past week or so is the personification of "lashing out". He has no sympathy for a fellow American who died saying one less vote for Trump as if this is a game he's playing. Or that he would vote for Biden even if he were in a urn..... If trump is deranged, destiny is suffering from Trump derangement syndrome.
@@BouncySlim1 I thought all the responses given were quite introspective or at least were fine, is there an example that you can point out which you feel like wasn't substantive?
Tom at least did his due diligence in terms of probing and criticizing Destiny's methods and rhetoric in this conversation, it does feel like people are only subscribing because they don't like the guest and aren't particularly criticizing the material of the video.
From the other side I've seen no sympathy for people like Paul Pelosi, another fellow American who got attacked in their home, so all I see is hypocrisy. If I saw exemplary behavior from the other side I would absolutely criticize Destiny, but I would probably agree that is far from the case.
@@SnappishLace
Destiny has a way of saying a lot, but saying absolutely nothing. I have an obsolete cellphone........
I don't watch much news, so was unaware of the attack on Pelosi until Destiny appeared on Piers Morgan. The attack on Paul sounds awful and was absolutely wrong. Violence of any nature should be condemned. That being said, (this might be just me), there's no equivalence of the attack on Paul and the attempted assassination of trump. One was private and the other public. Let me explain. There were thousands of men, women and children in attendance at the rally. If the gunman were successful and trump got his brains blown out, imagine the mental scars that would have marked the lives of all those in attendance...... especially the children. There will be some PTSD for those who watched as Corey lost his life trying to protect his family as well as those who were injured.
Quote:
"If I saw exemplary behavior from the other side, I would absolutely criticize Destiny...."
Did you actually read what you wrote? That statement is super hypocritical. You recognize that Destiny needs to be criticized, but won't because of what the other side is doing . Destiny deserves to be criticized *NO MATTER * what those on the other side of the aisle are doing. This is partly how our country has arrived to this point. No one in my camp can do no wrong, and if he does something wrong, the other side is doing wrong, so the wrong on my side is right.
Call out wrong on both sides.
Stand up for righteousness.
Great interview very interesting. Did not think i would/could listen to this but glad i did
What ideas did you think were the most interesting?
Wow Destiny has an extremely powerful audience. Literally every single comment is from his audience, all the top ones anyway. He has taken over this entire thread
Feel like a lot of Tom fans are missing the point of this episode - to me as a fan I’ve subscribed because I’ve agreed to go on the journey with Tom as he continues to nurture his perspective of the world - to observe how Tom builds his communication skills . I’ve never once created the expectation that information that’s comes out of a podcast should be taken as is - rather is it is grossly filtered through the topics constrained by the interviewer, in this case Tom.
To me this is just one of Tom next chapters in building skills talking about controversial subject matters where splintering occurs across a vast spectrum of belief but is generally only labeled into a binary.
And while others say that Tom is perhaps narrowed in his interest in covering only two sides (“both”) of the conversation - regardless of the multiple potential bins of ideologies (republic vs democrat vs “other”) this is where we are as a society. Constructing these stereotypes helps provide a jump point for us to begin figuring out the nuances of others perspectives - regardless of how flawed that initial assumption.
Long story short - here for Tom’s skill building exercise/ exploration into what may seem to others as non representative of the “other side” or a form of irrationality.
Tom's responsibility is to curate the content so that the viewers time is not waisted. Our time on earth is limited, spending our time on things that have low value is squandering our time. A counterpoint from someone genuinely intelligent would have been great. This person is of very average intelligence. There are some VERY smart liberals. This guy, is not one of them. The average lifespan is less than 720,000 hours, Tom just caused thousands of people to waste a couple of them. Shame on Tom.
@@JCharlesWalstadcouldn’t disagree more
This is a good comment, thank you 😊
most comments are so repetitive as to be bots.
@@JCharlesWalstadAdd thiss one to the list of long, pointless, emotional comments attacking Steven personally and not the substance of his arguments and game plan
Libs are so "tolerant." 😂😂😂
Great point. Did you come up with it yourself?
'why dont the libs tolerate us trying to overthrow democracy :("
@@1alebale1 Not my words, you and your ilks words. SO TOLERANT! 🤣🤣🤣
@@nathanwilliams4005 you think libs came up with the word tolerant?
@1alebale1 You people are always talking about how tolerant you are and how bigoted we are. Funny stuff to be honest. At least we admit we aren't tolerant of certain ideals.
I like that they were able to have a civil discussion
😅
Thanks Tom for having this convo :)
Tom's explanation of game theory to Destiny is the best thing I have seen on the internet today.
Sympathy is a form of humility and compassion.
Sympathy is feeling compassion. Empathy is putting yourself in another person’s shoes. The latter is preferable.
@@Asis4God While I feel I understand his reasoning, I think it's fair to say Destiny chooses to do neither in this case.
@@JamesStevensTEXALTA Being able to have authentic empathy or lived empathy is having lived through the same experience or a very similar experience as another. This can also vary due to the person’s life scope in perspective to the experience. When we can live with just empathy for others, and no judgement, that will be an elevated level of being in my opinion. I strive for this personally.
Nothing was taken out of context. You can watch the entire interview and see he meant exactly what he said.
Well 99% of people commenting haven't watched more than 5min
Tom switched it up. He's been courting all these conservative guest and right-wingers were here for it. He puts up an actually intelligent left wing commentator and people get angry.
Still a mahalo both of you for the conversation with a goal of trying to still preserve the dignity of a conversation for further understanding perspectives in these very volatile times.
Reminds me of a famous saying ‘ PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH’ 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
And republican voters are the prime example of this! Also so sloppy he missed.
@@shotskoala2890 whataboutism. Typical leftist who refuses to take responsebility. Grow up kid
@shotskoala2890 what a stupid thing to think and say. Get off the internet. It's turning you into a moron
I see some snowflakes in the audience who aren’t used to being challenged lmao
If you have problems with this try clearly explaining your points
All I've seen is destiny fan boys.
