@@kevintemido there is no point going monk when you have nothing because you're not giving leaving anything. It's kinda easier. But to leave everything material when you have it - it's harder. So if you still decide to become monk, this decision kinda has more weight to it. I guess.
For people who don't know, a close friend of Destiny killed himself when he was 19. This is something he's mentioned on his stream before; the suicide questions aren't necessarily coming from Reckful's death, on Destiny's end.
You should add that it was Destiny's best friend/the person that got him into streaming, and that the friend approached him with the question of suicide/whether he should go through with it, and Destiny essentially went "it's your body, your life, do whatever you want bro," and then his friend killed himself on the train tracks the next day and so Destiny has wrestled with this ethical dilemma ever since, even though he was not drastically devastated by his friends death. Destiny's friend was going to be in trouble over dealing weed essentially, and thought that his life was over for that amongst other things and so he chose suicide as the route to go, but Destiny now believes that his friend was being far too fatalistic/narrow in his thought process and could have thrived in the future, especially in this digital landscape that Destiny has made his living in. He's always been fairly open about it, surprised he didn't just tell the story on this stream. It isn't very long. Also in the past he's said he now hedges on intervention in such cases, even if it isn't a strong stance, just more of a it's "probably" the best course.
@@SDot-tt8yf after all you said I'm not surprised at all he didnt directly bring it up. I'm pretty sure his intention with this stream was to ask Dr.K questions rather as a 1-1 conversation rather than a interview. Nor did he want to be interviewed. So him not bringing it up seems intentional. He was not trying to be in the spotlight with this stream. He was making Dr. K the focal point cause of the knowledge he has. Instead of giving Dr. K something that would distract or make him want to focus more on destiny. Which led them in the direction they took the rest of the stream. Edit: I also get the feeling that Destiny took this approach to help better his view on the subject.
@@Skizzeckz Yah, I figured that after the fact. He's just generally so matter of fact about it, that I'm used to it being addressed in passing on his platform, so listening to the initial discussion briefly felt like there was an elephant in the room.
@@SDot-tt8yf Yeah I agree there, I didnt know that he was speaking about a friend but I got a feeling the topic was 100% personal and not randomly brought up. Glad you guys clarified that for me. 👍
I think when Destiny asked Dr. K what his end goal is with HealthyGamer the best answer is that there is no end-goal because the goal changes based on what the world requires of us. I think that's a beautiful way of looking at things. Your purpose can change based on what is needed at a given time but there will always be something worth fighting for/fixing/trying to help
He spent a whole minute explaining the question and gets hit with the classical "What do you think". I get why he responded with that but it seemed kinda funny xD
@Kevin Che I don't know that it was dismissive, I am making an assumption here of course but it feels like Dr. K likes to hear the person's view on the question to better respond.
@@mattwc93 i think it's a response that can go either way, it can be dismissive or it can be like you said. usually i think he responds that way for the reason you mentioned, but sometimes i think it comes off as dismissive because the person asking the question was actually asking about something with deeper implications for example, i think destiny was asking more than what Dr. K answered, because his implication with the question was what's an appropriate response if you lack the information to help in the way they discussed OR you're not particularly close/intimate with that person. just to be clear: the answer that destiny provided seemed very specific and carries a lot of assumptions about the person in need of care; that destiny knows them, is very familiar with them, and has prior knowledge of interventions or 'pushes' to do something usually has positive results. i think destiny's question was actually something more like this: when do you know when they need help and how do you judge when it's appropriate to try and help them in a friendly capacity given the unknown quantities (such as not having prior knowledge of intervention being successful) i can take a guess as to what Dr. K would have answered had Destiny reframed the question in the way he wanted to ask, but we don't really know unless someone asks him i feel like a few of these types of questions popped up and were basically dismissed due to Destiny not wanting to take up too much time or get too deep into it, which is a shame because it could've been useful. i get that there was some time restraints though and there were obviously some questions where they did really dive deep so it's not that big an issue
also just to be clear i don't think the dismissal was anyones fault, i'm not applying a value judgement, i just think it's more like Dr. K can't read minds and so may have missed the deeper implications (or just didn't want to assume there were deeper implications, which is fair enough) and Destiny didn't feel it was important enough to continue press the issue for any reason, be it time restraints or just not being super invested in the question
i love how respectfully they disagree with each other and then listen to each others opinions and form a middle ground or change the opinion of one of them
This was by far the best podcast for me at least, I’m suffering the grief from the suicide of my best friend and the struggle with the idea i could have done more. So the first 40 min where so nice to hear what they had to say and how i can confront this struggle.
I’ve been through it too around the same age Destiny did. It leaves a scar but the grief, guilt, etc doesn’t last forever. Seek some counseling if you’re troubled and be mindful not to isolate yourself from friends and family for long periods of time. Also be patient in recovery, it was a slow process in my case. I wish you well
Hey I've been there as well. We as humans can always find a way. Give yourself time to be taken care of. Build a support system of people who care about you. Anytime you hurt after a day, talk to them. Give yourself space to be vulnerable. You'll be okay. Hope you're doing well.
Really loved this conversation. Thank you for the work you do for this community Dr. K, its especially important to people like me who have been struggling with mental health for almost my entire life.
As someone who has struggled with depression and is a big voluntary loner I can attest to when friends stop asking if I want to hang out did hurt. My childhood best friend from time to time would just show up at my appartment in his car with a bucket of KFC and would demand I sit in the car and would drive me out to the airport to watch plains and eat and it was immensely helpful to my mental state. If he just called and asked if I wanted to go I would have said no 80% of the time and just stayed inside and play so him just showing up and applying a little pressure forced me to get out of my head and do something.
That's the kind of thing that could come off as a boundary violation to a lot of people. When you reject people (and saying no to plans over and over is a type of rejection) they will eventually get the message that you don't like them. Have you tried making plans with the people who used to call you? Have you tried putting effort into your relationships?
This is my experience too. Could it be that the reason more people are depressed is because we live in isolated pods? In some communities people are in and out of each other’s homes and Americans were once that way before TV. Even as a depressed person, just going to work sustained me.
we need more of these kind of conversations with each other. Discussing live, views, morals etc. This makes us grow as human beings by learning from each other and how we all see the world and how we differ .....
I fking love podcasts where both persons or multiple persons are having a good conversations. this felt more like a podcast than the usual dr k interviews someone. I enjoyed it a lot.
damn these podcasts are so amazing u learn so much about the human brain. i have watched a few of these vids now and its so fascanating, and i learn some stuff about myself too its INCREDIBLE
Deeky 123 Oh.. well then. Lol. Guess I need to rewatch that. Seemed like quite the coup from everything I know about it. I don’t even doubt the US probably played a part.
The part around 25.00 really hit me. As someone who is diagnosed with adhd and unable to focus on anything for more than a couple of hours at a time, this perspective of his indian teacher is quite eye opening.
He's providing something the community needs and what he provides is of the highest quality(not some guru bullshit alternatives). His growth is a reflection of how much this community needs help with mental health.
I enjoy having these types of honest, non judgemental about anything, conversations with my friends in private, must be weird having them in public with the whole world comenting on it.
Yet another super insightful conversation I have seen from you, Dr K. Particularly the part on Karma really opened my mind up, holyy! So much great content do delve into on this one, thanks for sharing
I really wish Destiny would push this style of content and conversations more. the fact that Dr. K and Sean Carrol are the ONLY people he really respects talking to on a deeper level is really sad to hear, there are so many more great people out there.
Jesus this was such a powerful conversation. Love the respect they have for each other. Watching dr k talk in these interview/conversations are when I really understand his monk side.
its funny how it ended up being like a chill conversation about what dr k do and his thinking... destiny was that kid in class who was curious about everything and asked lots of questions xD (imo those kids are not bad at all )bet dr k had a good time just having a convo interview with him
Now I don't feel so bad about switching between current projects in my life. Feels like there is so much I want to do every day and cycling between my top 5 or so and pouring energy into them one at a time feels like how I want to do things. EDIT: This is the best episode of HealthyGamerGG I have ever seen!
Maybe that is how I should approach different things i want to do in my life. Tackle them on different days and pour my energy into them giving them each their own time to flourish.
I take therapy and watch Dr K. My therapist is really good too, Dr. k helps me take action. I find both have a different function in my life. Frankly, therapy helps me feel my emotions and Dr K helps me rewire my brain to create a new model of thinking
i love how although they do disagree on parts it is really good to listen to both sides of different beliefs and it shows how even though they do not agree they are willing to understand the other point of view w/o hesitation
1:50:00 - Oliver Sacks, the famous neurologist, wrote a great essay called 'Altered States' that explores these areas, and collected similar essays in a book called Hallucinations which I recommend.
18:56 for some reason my mind went immediately to comedy. Now I want to see a Heroin Tournament parody. "Did you see the angle he held his syringe? Jeff! I think we need a replay on that!" For some reason, that's super funny to me, dark but funny.
Dr. K, if you haven't already familiarized yourself with Sartre's existentialism I would suggest looking into it! Much of what you talk about in regards to Karma and Dharma seem to have some interesting overlap with Sartre's idea of "The Situation" that he pairs with the idea of a human being's freedom. Really appreciate these more spiritual/philosophical based conversations. Would love to see you try to compare/contrast Western philosophical ideas with your idea of Karma/Dharma/Etc.
1:19:34 and the few minutes afterwards is probably my favorite section. Actually maybe the entire stream after that point is my favorite. I have no idea how I work. I've been in therapy a couple of times for years at a time, and neither time did I really get around to figuring out how I work. It was mostly about trying to treat certain issues in my life at the time. Figuring out me more would be good. I kinda feel like the study about mdma and psilocybin could be tied to the convo around ego and EQ. Maybe it's just because I'm tired, but the idea of hallucinating some being in that way, feels a lot like people are peering into their own psyche a bit. I imagine there's potential for great relief in finding some sense of understanding about your emotions and it seems like it wouldn't be unreasonable for people to characterize their emotions or ego in some way while on drugs.
I think it may be helpful if Dr K distinguished between his understanding of karma, and what is generally understood about karma. It's like saying "that's because of a previous life" but actually meaning "that's because of things that happened before you were born". Using "a previous life" or "karma" as explanations, comes with the weight of the generally understanding of those words, which doesn't seem to be what Dr K. Actually means, and that meant that they were talking past each other a little bit. It would be like me saying "yeah, I believe in an afterlife" but actually meaning "my actions will influence the world once I'm gone". That's not the generally understanding of an afterlife, so that language would cause more confusion than clarity.
I'm new to the channel casually checking out a few interview vids and Dr. K's ayurvedic side was starting to filter me out a bit, this conversation gave me a better insight to where he's coming from with it
@@kipz ultimately free will has to be an illusion if you really think about it. i think he would be more likely to say something along those lines. would be interesting to see with which of us he would agree :)
@@egdrei Compatabilists are people who believe that free will and determinism are compatible. For me, even if you are pre-programmed to make your choices, they're still _your_ choices.
@@WildfoxAttack Yes it's different, but just seeing Dr K trying to wrap his head around how this man works and the crazy shit he says would be hilarious. Who knows, maybe he can even get Jesse to realise some things about himself.
I guess I've been an addict of both opiates and videogames. I've been clean for 2.5 years after a few years heavily addicted to fent, and my video game addiction was years before that, playing games online 5-10hrs a day for multiple years. I don't really know where that would put me on any addiction spectrum, and at the time I never really thought of it like an addiction, but after going through my opiate addiction and listening to the psychology behind video game addiction I can see the parallels, especially when I neglected so much in my life while for gaming. Although, in my experience, opiate addiction is a lot more physical in nature. Sure, the psychological attachment is what keeps you doing the drugs, but eventually your body doesn't function properly without it. It feels important to make that distinction, because the road to recovery from each problem is going to be very different. All the best to anyone out there struggling with either problem. Change starts in small steps, then it's one foot in front of the other.
For that conversation at the end about psychedelic experiences having a high reporting rate of an experience with a higher being - the non-drug-induced psychotic break from reality I had a few years ago, I felt the presence of beings that I thought wanted to communicate with me. I remember specifically at one point feeling like... whatever they were "telling" me, I was responding with "variety is the spice of life" like that was the answer and I was heating something up in the microwave and it dinged, and I perceived that as like "ah! light bulb moment! I understand what you mean." I also felt like there was this interconnected system of beings throughout the world that could connect with each other and were like telepathically linked, and I kinda felt like, in that state, I was one of them. Wild shit. There was also a wide array of other shit I was thinking and ended up needing to be hospitalized for it, but it was an extremely fascinating experience, and I'm really glad I was able to have it, even though at the time, there was a lot that terrified me at the time and I scared my family. Anyways, I thought it might be something worth noting; idk if the beings people felt connected to while on psychedelics might be strictly linked to drugs... idk if my non-drug-induced experience was similar to what they experienced..... I'm curious about that, though.
Asa his job is to let the patient feel comfortable. by leaving an open groundwork for the person he's working with it allows them to open up a lot quicker and easier if they can be , know, the way they want
That last part about psilocybin/mdma actually resounds with the writings of Albert Hoffmann - creator of LSD. 100% recommend his book “LSD: my problem child,” as far as reading on that particular topic
19:07 - 19:41 fuck this hit me hard cause I literally brought that up with my therapist 2 years ago and gave up on my dream cause everybody told me I was addicted...
The first topic they talked about regarding one's decision to commit suicide reminded me of that one anime, Babylon. Essentially it's a place where people are allowed to take their own lives, legally. Worth a watch.
Umm I want to point out the donation at 16:50 from Ryulchimonji , I think Dr.K’s team see the donations but I’m just concerned about the person who wrote it and I hope someone saw what he wrote and helped him.
that document project seems to be exactly what I needed. I've been tryinge to frasp every little concept you gave to us but there's so many. That would be perfect if you published a paper where everything is written. That would also help me in my philosphy classes.
49:00 I feel that so hard. About to finish my biochemistry degree but I don't want to go into biochemistry, I want to go into psychology. I'm going to do a masters conversion and I hope that in a few years time I'll finally be on a path I chose because I wanted to, not because I felt I had to
Interesting conversation at 33:02. What Dr. K mentions is true for other topics too. For example, the topic of organizational leadership. If I am a leader of a corporation and someone comes to me for help with something that I do not understand, what do you think I will do? Will I tell them something that may not be right, or will I get the subject matter expert to help them? If im not familiar with helping someone on a professional level, I will still help them by advising them to seek professional help.

Jesus this was such a powerful conversation. Love the respect they have for each other. Watching dr k talk in these interview/conversations are when I really understand his monk side.
23:00 - 30:00 was so helpful, this is exactly how I feel and now I know way to handle it.
This was a great conversation, thanks for this
Honestly this was a nice change of pace
i just found the older video of Dr. K and Destiny and was thinking that I'd love to listen to more and well here I go
same, every insightful stuff
its funny how it ended up being like a chill conversation about what dr k do and his thinking... destiny was that kid in class who was curious about everything and asked lots of questions xD (imo those kids are not bad at all )bet dr k had a good time just having a convo interview with him
Man, first ten minutes... cut right through that point of view like a hot knife into butter. Very objective. I love it.
18:43 I think Dr. K really stumbled upon something here. We need professional heroin contests
This one felt like Destiny Interviews Dr.K lol. loved the insights and perspectives
Now I don't feel so bad about switching between current projects in my life. Feels like there is so much I want to do every day and cycling between my top 5 or so and pouring energy into them one at a time feels like how I want to do things.
EDIT: This is the best episode of HealthyGamerGG I have ever seen!
Maybe that is how I should approach different things i want to do in my life. Tackle them on different days and pour my energy into them giving them each their own time to flourish.
Thankyou for the videos Dr K. They've helped me so much.
this has been awesome, thank you
I take therapy and watch Dr K. My therapist is really good too, Dr. k helps me take action. I find both have a different function in my life. Frankly, therapy helps me feel my emotions and Dr K helps me rewire my brain to create a new model of thinking
This conversation makes me feel my heartbeat in my brain. It's awesome.
These kinds of conversations are the best.
Lol "you need to either duplicate yourself or write a book"
"I wonder if I can duplicate myself"...
That had me rolling
calvin and hobbes.
i love how although they do disagree on parts it is really good to listen to both sides of different beliefs and it shows how even though they do not agree they are willing to understand the other point of view w/o hesitation
Destiny: So what is your favourite...
Dr K: *HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL BRO*
Can I think for a second?
@@dawn-blade jus' a lil bit of banter
@@dawn-blade nobody is making fun, you dunce. People LOVE the way he stops to think when he needs to. This should be more accepted.
really fun to watch this keep it up
I love the whole stream rules interaction in the beginning, it's so funny
Need more of this duo, PLS
Did i hear DIO , speedwagon?
Does anyone know if dr. K has written any books?
He plans on writing one , if I understood correctly
He recently did. Its for parents though
That book for parents is still worth a read if you're child-free or don't have kids yet
I started reading it its good for any people who game and how to better yourself and using the parenting strategies towards yourself
1:50:00 - Oliver Sacks, the famous neurologist, wrote a great essay called 'Altered States' that explores these areas, and collected similar essays in a book called Hallucinations which I recommend.
So grateful we have the ability to listen to two people of this caliber intelligence discuss these topics
Lee Tucker same :)
lmao love the thumbnail. Great interview as well
18:56 for some reason my mind went immediately to comedy. Now I want to see a Heroin Tournament parody. "Did you see the angle he held his syringe? Jeff! I think we need a replay on that!" For some reason, that's super funny to me, dark but funny.
this was one of my favorites so far
Dr. K, if you haven't already familiarized yourself with Sartre's existentialism I would suggest looking into it! Much of what you talk about in regards to Karma and Dharma seem to have some interesting overlap with Sartre's idea of "The Situation" that he pairs with the idea of a human being's freedom. Really appreciate these more spiritual/philosophical based conversations. Would love to see you try to compare/contrast Western philosophical ideas with your idea of Karma/Dharma/Etc.
55:13 ”I didn’t believe in Destiny”
Destiny got etherealized in this debate
damn this destiny guy asks really good thought provoking questions
Destiny is very good at interviewing and creating good questions. This was very eye-opening
"Not like hours worth of questions"
Video Length: **are you sure?**
hours worth of answers mostly
12:33 this is like the lawsuit in the beginning of the movie The Incredibles
Destiny Interviewed Dr. K. in this debate
Destiny's the first thing you said about it was and it would and I have an 30th April available in September
@Vladimir Putin its nonsense. I was pressing autocomplete randomly
@@gggrow holy fuck i just though i had gone braindead
gggrow we all have that moment sometimes
@@ezclap1445 we'll have more than enough space for us 🇺🇸 if you dont want it to use the site then we could have to take it 😉 😏
Love these kind of vids
1:19:34 and the few minutes afterwards is probably my favorite section.
Actually maybe the entire stream after that point is my favorite.
I have no idea how I work. I've been in therapy a couple of times for years at a time, and neither time did I really get around to figuring out how I work. It was mostly about trying to treat certain issues in my life at the time. Figuring out me more would be good.
I kinda feel like the study about mdma and psilocybin could be tied to the convo around ego and EQ. Maybe it's just because I'm tired, but the idea of hallucinating some being in that way, feels a lot like people are peering into their own psyche a bit. I imagine there's potential for great relief in finding some sense of understanding about your emotions and it seems like it wouldn't be unreasonable for people to characterize their emotions or ego in some way while on drugs.
what an awesome conversation :)
I think it may be helpful if Dr K distinguished between his understanding of karma, and what is generally understood about karma. It's like saying "that's because of a previous life" but actually meaning "that's because of things that happened before you were born".
Using "a previous life" or "karma" as explanations, comes with the weight of the generally understanding of those words, which doesn't seem to be what Dr K. Actually means, and that meant that they were talking past each other a little bit.
It would be like me saying "yeah, I believe in an afterlife" but actually meaning "my actions will influence the world once I'm gone". That's not the generally understanding of an afterlife, so that language would cause more confusion than clarity.
I'm new to the channel casually checking out a few interview vids and Dr. K's ayurvedic side was starting to filter me out a bit, this conversation gave me a better insight to where he's coming from with it
Given Dr. K’s explanation of karma, I’m curious what his take on free will would be
i don't think he would say we don't have free will, just that any action we take with our free will has a consequence
@@kipz ultimately free will has to be an illusion if you really think about it. i think he would be more likely to say something along those lines. would be interesting to see with which of us he would agree :)
Isn't his explanation of karma synonimous with determinism? Thus no free will
Giz s its legit hard determinism
@@egdrei Compatabilists are people who believe that free will and determinism are compatible.
For me, even if you are pre-programmed to make your choices, they're still _your_ choices.
i loved this! thanks Dr. K and Destiny for this!
I would LOVE to see Dr. K having a conversation with Jesse Lee Peterson, I'm sure Destiny would too. lol
LULW Amazin
It could produce some incredible content and memes like we've never seen before.
I think its different since Jessie Lee Peterson mainly deals with politics and Dr. K mainly deals with mental health
@@WildfoxAttack Yes it's different, but just seeing Dr K trying to wrap his head around how this man works and the crazy shit he says would be hilarious. Who knows, maybe he can even get Jesse to realise some things about himself.
That would be fuckin' hilarious!
I guess I've been an addict of both opiates and videogames. I've been clean for 2.5 years after a few years heavily addicted to fent, and my video game addiction was years before that, playing games online 5-10hrs a day for multiple years. I don't really know where that would put me on any addiction spectrum, and at the time I never really thought of it like an addiction, but after going through my opiate addiction and listening to the psychology behind video game addiction I can see the parallels, especially when I neglected so much in my life while for gaming.
Although, in my experience, opiate addiction is a lot more physical in nature. Sure, the psychological attachment is what keeps you doing the drugs, but eventually your body doesn't function properly without it. It feels important to make that distinction, because the road to recovery from each problem is going to be very different.
All the best to anyone out there struggling with either problem. Change starts in small steps, then it's one foot in front of the other.
Just down here to express that I thought this was a great conversation and to please the algorithm.
Destiny is the type of dude who can get along with almost everyone without going along. He's a special breed!
Great interview.
Why does Dr. k talk about reddit karma so much?
@@VolliVolliVolli yikes
@@leonlx564 ?
@@landlubbr the other guy was making a joke, which he, and you I guess, failed to notice.
@@leonlx564 Pretty sure he was following along with the joke
beautiful interview.
For that conversation at the end about psychedelic experiences having a high reporting rate of an experience with a higher being - the non-drug-induced psychotic break from reality I had a few years ago, I felt the presence of beings that I thought wanted to communicate with me. I remember specifically at one point feeling like... whatever they were "telling" me, I was responding with "variety is the spice of life" like that was the answer and I was heating something up in the microwave and it dinged, and I perceived that as like "ah! light bulb moment! I understand what you mean."
I also felt like there was this interconnected system of beings throughout the world that could connect with each other and were like telepathically linked, and I kinda felt like, in that state, I was one of them.
Wild shit.
There was also a wide array of other shit I was thinking and ended up needing to be hospitalized for it, but it was an extremely fascinating experience, and I'm really glad I was able to have it, even though at the time, there was a lot that terrified me at the time and I scared my family.
Anyways, I thought it might be something worth noting; idk if the beings people felt connected to while on psychedelics might be strictly linked to drugs... idk if my non-drug-induced experience was similar to what they experienced..... I'm curious about that, though.
I love you both!!!!! Great stuff here =)
"i don't know what the rules of my stream are" what a troll
he thought destiny was talking about twitch rules, which he isn't familiar with
nigahiga878 you’re definitely wrong about what he meant
Toke Asaurus420 what did he mean then? Because I don’t see why else he would say he doesn’t know what the rules of his stream are, lol.
Asa his job is to let the patient feel comfortable. by leaving an open groundwork for the person he's working with it allows them to open up a lot quicker and easier if they can be , know, the way they want
@@camdubuc9700 that's makes sense.
They need to run it back this was a great listen
dr K is a blessing to the twith community
That last part about psilocybin/mdma actually resounds with the writings of Albert Hoffmann - creator of LSD.
100% recommend his book “LSD: my problem child,” as far as reading on that particular topic
19:07 - 19:41 fuck this hit me hard cause I literally brought that up with my therapist 2 years ago and gave up on my dream cause everybody told me I was addicted...
Loved watching this.
Super engaging to watch 2 smart people discuss topics I enjoy.
calling destiny smart lmao
Destiny is smart, what are you guys saying? Is his smugness or arrogance annoying? Sure but the guy is pretty intelligent
Destiny and smart don't belong in the same sentence
@@landlubbr damn, I guess all the angry conservatives are coming out of the wood work, lol.
@@immortaldawnent5956 Imagine being so insecure that you need to deny somebodys obvious intelligence just to make yourself feel better about yourself.
The first topic they talked about regarding one's decision to commit suicide reminded me of that one anime, Babylon.
Essentially it's a place where people are allowed to take their own lives, legally. Worth a watch.
Umm I want to point out the donation at 16:50 from Ryulchimonji , I think Dr.K’s team see the donations but I’m just concerned about the person who wrote it and I hope someone saw what he wrote and helped him.
that document project seems to be exactly what I needed. I've been tryinge to frasp every little concept you gave to us but there's so many. That would be perfect if you published a paper where everything is written. That would also help me in my philosphy classes.
I've seen destiny talk to flat earthers and creationists its so refreshing to see him talk to another smart person
Underrated comment.
2 faces on full display. One of the best streams I've seen!
49:00 I feel that so hard. About to finish my biochemistry degree but I don't want to go into biochemistry, I want to go into psychology. I'm going to do a masters conversion and I hope that in a few years time I'll finally be on a path I chose because I wanted to, not because I felt I had to
good for you, good luck
Interesting conversation at 33:02. What Dr. K mentions is true for other topics too. For example, the topic of organizational leadership. If I am a leader of a corporation and someone comes to me for help with something that I do not understand, what do you think I will do? Will I tell them something that may not be right, or will I get the subject matter expert to help them? If im not familiar with helping someone on a professional level, I will still help them by advising them to seek professional help.
i swear to god you could put destiny in a room w/ LITERALLY anyone and it'd be a really interesting 2 hours. dr k is just the icing on the cake
This is legitimately the only good comment section I've found on youtube
I love all of you thank you
