Destiny neither won or lost this debate, because winning is in the eye of the beholder.
damn we're getting creative
LOL OK to be fair, that isn't inaccurate;You can come out of watching a debate with your own opinion of the debate
In my eye, I think Destiny won. Still like both though, obviously.
He just participated. N e x t. L e v e l.
Which can be true. If you as a viewer of the debate can deconstruct the other guys argument, he will not have won in your eyes. Though if you view the arguments made against each other in isolation he won.
Those seem to be the two positions they have, but they're talking past each other so it just gets retarded. Both points can be correct and valid.
Three hundred and fifty two I would push back on both being correct and valid. Mainly because the way digi interprets a debate negates the entire purpose of a debate. A debate in a broad sense is a combat of ideas. If we are to take digi’s framework all we get is two or more people talking at each other with the crowd staying insulated in their previously held ideas because they know the “truth” but at the same time not necessarily because they are free to change their mind however should not be compelled to do so from sound reasoning. Digi is only technically correct in the sense that everything is subjective and nothing is “true” which is kind of a meaningless statement
I feel like digibro made a good point, but he didn't substantiate it PEPE
LUL, where
He doesnt have to, He only made correct points PEPE
@@MMAGamblingTips Yeah pretty much
@@TopBurger239 And his points are correct because they were substantiated elsewhere.
When someone makes a point that is supported by a known "fact"(that means it is proven(which also assumes that it is something provable by logic) ), even though it is not substantiated in the context of the debate due to the incompetence of the person raising the point, does not disprove the *fact*. But digibro fails to say this in a correct way. He misses out on not stating that a raised point is FACTUALLY SUPPORTED, but the factual support is not brought up by the one raising the point(due to incompetence) or the offender of the raising point(for the sake of winning the argument). In a debate that is aimed at reaching a correct(this assumes there exists a correct conclusion), or say better conclusion through conversation, the opposing side loses because the opposing side knowingly lets a factual point fall down. But in a debate aimed at showing how to debate well, the incompetent guy loses.
At the end of the video destiny mentions a math question where you get the correct answer but the process is entirely wrong, you get like one point out of ten.
He forgets to add that in a math question where you got the wrong answer due to a mistake made elsewhere but with the right methodology that would lead to the answer if that mistake was not made(lets say you added 2+7 and somehow wrote 8 there), you also get like one(though likely a higher point than one, but NEVER ten) point out of ten.
Digibro - "I like to touch the stove when its hot."
Destiny - "You enjoy burning your hand?"
Digibro - "STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH!"
You’d have to define hot first, because that actually is putting words in someone’s mouth. As something can be hot, but not hot enough to burn one’s hand. Saying I like hot showers isn’t the same as saying I like to scald myself.
@@wschippr1 You sound like you're a blast at parties.
Chris Diaz
lol wow what a witty and original retort. Next time instead of being a douche just admit that you didn’t have the most apt example.
@@wschippr1 You're original response was completely correct....just as my 10 year old is completely correct when I say it is 6:00 and she says its 5:57.
Youre "that guy" so just own it.
Chris Diaz
If this was about typical everyday conversations then you’d be a 100% correct in calling me a pedant. However, this video is about rational debate and discourse. To use your time example, telling a friend it’s 6:00 when it’s actually 5:57 is fine. However, it’s not fine for a doctor doing the same when telling someone time of death.
"The guy won the the debate even thought he didn't put up any good arguments because what he said was fact"
*a few mins later*
"You can't decide who won a debate*
Jesus christ later he says "You can judge an argument based on anything you want" alright guys guess I'm now going to start judging who wins debates based on who ever says the word potato the most and you can't say I'm wrong because objectivity doesn t exist. EzClap
@@spaceghosttoast I think he and the so called "skeptic community" have something in common after watching this shit. They are far too attached to their arguments while simultaneously absolutely needing to feel right that they have to back peddle and weasel their way out of actual debate whenever possible, but at the same time their egos won't let them back out of debate, so they instead do insane mental gymnastics so they can still tell themselves they won and are still right.
@@skylithium462 Yeah, "You are putting words in my mouth" always seems to translate to "You are making logical conclusions out of my premises to check for consistency, but since I never evaluate the logical implications of what I say, I was not thinking this when I opened my mouth, so you're putting words in my mouth"
Yeah especially after he refused to actually debate on what Destiny and Dick were debating lol it almost seemed like he was trying to justify thinking Dick was right...to himself, more than anything else, that's what it seems like to me at least.
The skeptic community has its roots in poking holes on religion. The major issue is "can debunk superstitious nonsense" is *not* the high benchmark for rational thought, so a lot of people that had no idea what they were doing snuck in because it's almost impossible to be 'wrong' in those instances.
A long time ago I personally viewed them as kind of reasonable because I never thought I had to question intelligence to the level of "wait, how do I know this person has fifth grade understanding of algebra". I just took for granted that most people had at least a basic understanding of logical facilities. I just thought a lot of people took shortcuts and glossed over things because they were *that* obvious, but no, they *legitimately* didn't understand any of it at all. @@skylithium462
Destiny won this debate because I agree with him...
lol
lol
lol
Lol?
I was going to substantiate my own lulz but I remembered I dont have to
"I'm arguing that: you can win a debate, debating poorly, by being correct."
Look at that sentence. Just look at it.
fucking hell
I think the guy is special ed or something, clearly has brain damage.
He should have just tried to make the point that winning or losing a debate, or making better or worse points in a debate, is separate from whether the topic being debated is true or not.
That is defensible. A terrible advocate of round earth could make worse arguments than a flat earther in a debate and still be correct. But if the arguments made were worse, by most peoples standards, they would lose the debate.
Losing a debate does not mean the argument they were pushing for is incorrect, it means they did not argue it well enough to counter the perceptions and arguments of their opposition.
ubuu7 you should debate destiny about that bruv
He's probably mistaking a logical debate with a simple quarrel. That's the only way i can comprehend this
Broad
>A is either B or C
>I think A is not C
-Oh, so you think A is B
-OOOOOH HOLD ON!
It's like a less articulate Jordan Peterson....
Ahh dude you cracked me up all over again. This is all I have been hearing from this guy throughout the entire video.
All I'm saying is A CAN be B if you already know that A being B is the truth!
More like
DesTINY>so you believe A is B because it can be either B or C
Digi>That isn't my position the way you've phrased it
DesTINY>oh so you accept the way I've phrased it? That means you believe A is C!
Digi>Uh no, I didn't accept the premise you folded into the question in the first place, so you can't assume that.
DesTINY>Oh my god you're so dumb! Everyone look this guy believes A is C!
It doesn't surprise me that the kind of people who believe Destiny is a good debater are incapable of processing or remembering the nuance in other people's statements, you just simplify it down into false dichotomies all day long because that's an easy strawman to attack, while people's actual statements aren't so weak.
his argument was that it wasn't a dichotomy.
@@aprilhart4810 Digibro's statement was that a point in a debate can be a good one without that person having to substantiate it. Destiny drew from that statement that Digibro was of the belief that facts don't need substantiation as long as one just generally believes a particular point is correct.
Destiny was incorrect in that assumption because Digibro then went on to say that facts in a debate do need to be substantiated... just by someone else, not necessarily by the individual in that particular instance making that argument. Which Destiny basically pointed out was a pretty horrendous way of trying to come out on top in an argument.
And that's pretty much it. Digibro is making about as vapid an argument as he possibly can, he's basically saying nothing. That there is both enough subjectivity in everything to analyse every argument but there's also indisputable arguments that don't need to proven because they can't not be correct.
Dude couldn’t see the difference between winning an argument and something being true. Yikers
I dont think you understood Destiny's point
NostrTXB He was talking about Dig
This guy is an utter moron. He is literally butthurt because Destiny is literally smarter than him ha
@@ManikMiner155 literally
Roba code exactly. I think that’s where destiny failed to capitalize. The whole time I just kept thinking say “you do realize there is a difference between winning an argument and being right. You can be wrong and win an argument.”
Holy shit! You got Digibro to admit at the end that he determines who "won" a debate entirely based on who he already agrees with, and he doesn't see the problem with that!
I used to watch a lot of Digi back when I watched anime, Digi is the most opinionated anime youtuber without any hint of justification or shame for the fact he lacks the capability to justify what he has to say. He treats himself like a god of logic without ever actually arguing anything. There was one podcast he did where he and another person on the podcast had had a back and forth in their videos and he just kinda rode a wave of "Isn't it sad he thinks that way?" without ever actually having done shit to show why this guy was wrong. Watching Destiny is a breath of fresh air by comparison.
@@OmegaThirty that was what made Digi one of the few old school anime TH-camrs that was watchable tbh
@@conorallen100 cause he was a train wreck?
Not really.
They both agree that we can determine the correct winner.
Destiny argues that if the debator does not show his work then he is not correct.
Digibro argues that as long as the final result is correct then that debator won.
Digibro actually raises a good point here.
Consider this.
A pedophile has lots of justifications about why raping children ought to be acceptable by society.
Another person does not waste time debating those points and just says "no raping children is wrong I won't waste time debating why it is wrong you either understand or you don't"
The same thing applies to flat earth.
Flat-earthers did not come to their conclusion by rational means...so logic is not effective for convincing them otherwise.
See the backfire effect of cognitive bias.
rationalwiki.org/wiki/Backfire_effect
Sometimes proving irrational people wrong with logic only makes them believe more strongly in their irrational beliefs.
This is the brain damage I live for.
I see you watch Lu Bu.

I laughed out loud at work...good comment
I exhaled aid out my nose, this one is funny.

@@Crihs95 Shut up and take my money
nah he got fucked by dampe
>spends half the debate arguing against objectivity, prescriptivism, and absolutes.
>"it's a good point as long as it's true"
this guy is literally a mix of a full-on relativistic skeptic nihilist and an objectivist... he literally believes in absolute truth while simultaneously not believing in it. he has reached the epitome of doublethink
He has reached the peak of the Skeptic community ftfy
Seems like conservacucks believe whatever they want to hear, Destiny clearly stated that the point is to substantiate one's point, the objective universal truth might not be a thing, but there are certain truths such as laws of physics (most of them have constraints not visible to the human in the everyday life) that are well studied. The point of the debate was that people can be hearing to a debate and still ignore good arguments in favor of "good points" as long as they confirm their biases...
Prescriptivist is subjective what the brainlet
@@user-ts7tp1dh6f Prescriptivism can claim objectivity as the basis of why you should follow whatever is prescribed. Prescriptivism can allow admit subjectivity, but perhaps argue that their approach would bring the most utility.
They would probably argue that what they are prescribing would objectively bring the most utility as well, making prescriptivism usually have some relation to claiming objective truth. I assume you were reacting to the idiot destiny was talking to and not me, right?
@@ByzantineDarkwraith Honestly, I thought both destiny and the other dude had a very limited understanding.
But in terms of prescriptivism. Let's break this down. When we asses whether a meta-ethical theory is 'objective or not' we use more specific language. This is moral 'realist' and 'anti-realist'. Or cognitivist and non-cognitivist. That was one of my major problems, very limited philosophical understanding in this debate.
Now my point could be done here just by linking you prescriptivism and seeing everyone put it under the 'anti-realist' camp, where morals aren't real, but I'll explain why that's the case.
Morals are real when we can definitively claim to derive a moral statement from an authority that makes judgements, on a consistent basis, what good and bad is. Theological absolutism, for example, prescriptivism has an adaptive moral code, one that permits change.
If morals existed, how could they possibly change?
As an example, a moral absolutist could make the moral statement, 'slavery is bad'.
A prescriptivist on the other hand would take the prescriptions into account, that is, slavery is a wholly a-moral deed, and simply a business practice.
Therefore, prescriptivism is a moral anti-realist notion. Or as they would very poorly refer to it as 'subjective'.
Digibro would be a terrible lawyer.
I'm not even sure if this dude is functional enough to breathe and think at the same time and you're here wondering how he'd be as a lawyer lmfao
Digilawyer: Objection! *WHEN DID I SAY THAT!?*
Court stenographer: At exactly 4:13pm
Digilawyer: fuck.
Your honor, Digibro makes a very good point.
He'd only be a terrible lawyer if the metric you use to decide if someone is a terrible lawyer is whatever they can win a case.
But not everyone has to use that metric, someone can decide he made a really good point and that he won because of it.
And IS a terrible everything-else!
The winner of any argument is always the one who has the most TRUE LULW 's in chat.

That is what we learnt from the story the Tortoise and Hare. The Hare was the faster racer even though the Tortoise crossed the finish line first the the Hare obviously won because I know he is faster.
It's funny. I randomly decided to start studying some math from my high school years and as soon as I open the book it starts with a quote from Aristotle something like "The primordial question is not what we know, but how we know."
I was instantly reminded of this hahahahaha
Aristotle really got ignored by digi in this debate
Aristotle didn't write for MLP, K-On or Psycho Pass, neither did he watch those shows, so he's irrelevant and his taste in animation is clearly shit.
Destiny: my math teacher deducting points for not showing my work
Digibro: Me, who looked up the answers in the back of the text book
I ask people if they are Destiny fans, then I relentlessly bully them.
Bag Shit You must have a lot of friends.
People used to "already know" that Zeus was the cause of lightning prior to discussions about the cause of lightning. We absolutely MUST substantiate affirmative arguments in court, it's called the burden of proof. Without that concept, anyone can claim anything at any time as true. Also, the fact that he admits that an argument MUST be substantiated at some point previously makes his point completely useless. Why have a discussion at all? Just claim that every point you WOULD make has previously been substantiated, declare yourself the winner, and leave.
@@jimflannery6335 Bill Nye and Ken Ham had a debate about the validity of creationism in 2014. If my memory serves, the topic of whether or not the bible accurately states the age of the earth was brought up, and Bill Nye cited the rings of tree fossils as evidence that the earth is far older than what the Bible attests.
Digibro would say that even if Bill Nye had not brought any evidence to support his claim that the Bible is wrong about the earth's age, at the end of the day, his point is still correct because, as he would put it, "you could just go look it up yourself."
And you are correct that this puts into question the very necessity of debates and discussions like this, which is why I think this video is a lot more interesting than people (or Destiny himself) give it credit for.
My guess is that the counter argument would be that you have debates about presubstantiated subjects if they are ignorantly contested by a large group of people in order to dispel any doubt of what is true. Such subjects could include climate change, vaccination, or even creationism and flat eartherism. In these cases, it is extremely important for the person debating on behalf of the objectively correct stance to substantiate their claims as accurately and as logically as possible in order to persuade the ignorant into abandoning bad ideas.
Buuuuut, even if they fail in this, that doesn't make the stance that they're advocating for any less objectively correct; therein lies the rub.
Really this whole thing was brought about by laziness, though.
Dick, Digibro, and others, all claim that Destiny puts words in peoples mouths during his debates. ALL. DESTINY. EVER. ASKED. is that they substantiate that claim with a single example. A single shread of evidence.
Here's the thing. It's pretty clear that people who claim this don't like Destiny or his content. To provide such evidence, they would have to go back and re-watch literally hours of destiny debate footage in order to compile a substantial amount of examples in which Destiny puts words in people's mouths. That is a lot of work and that is a lot of time spent watching someone you don't like talk. No one who holds this stance about Destiny is actually going to do the work to prove it, so they'd rather say "just go look up his videos and you'll see what we're saying."
So in the end, it's all laziness, and that's being charitable.
I watched this video and Destiny had opinions and points that I know are correct, so he won. I dont have to prove it, or even consider Digi's opinions. Truth is truth my guy.
Basically.
@Lain J is poking fun at Digi's thought process.
J destiny danced around saying truth, believe that.
@@HeiwaSolnum Aw shit, you right
Truth isn't truth! Oh wait, that's some other guy...
This is just 45 minutes of Digibro trying to make it acceptable for him to not make arguments.
Creative Nothing
This is the most productive day of my goddam life amen
What digi is actually saying is that he wants to say whatever is convenient for him to believe and no one is allowed to make him think with any larger scope or possible consequences.
For someone who is in art analysis he certainly has no idea that words and thoughts can be multi-faceted. He lives by taking things at face value.
@@crosleybendix97 thats not true about him in the slightest.
+Jonni Ok, what's your argument against that? Or are you saying that because you BELIEVE it's not true?
@@dcon9995 There is a larger scope and consequences to the things we say.
*oh you are talking to that other guy. Ignore me.
Woah woah woah, are you trying to put words into digi's mouth? He knows what he says and does not need somebody to rephrase his arguments for him, he chooses his wording very carefully for a reason. Boom roasted!
“You say ‘confirmation bias’ like its this really horrible thing”
Lmaoooooooo yeH this is when i stop watching
Don't stop there.
Its only 40mins
It gets worse.
Yeah hes also fine with being hypocritical because its inevitable that someone will eventually be hypocritical in some way so he doesn't even try to not be. I like some of his videos but i don't know how he does the mental gymnastics to reach some of these conclusions.
MadTrax Digibro did 16:10
Do you really think Destiny would ever say that lol
FrodoFraggins that mindset is so fucking stupid tbh. Like why even argue anything, ever? You’re literally saying you dont care if you ever contradict yourself, and thats totally antithetical to debate.
@@theblackswordsman9951 He doesn't need to make mental gymnastics at all to reach some of these conclusions, because he already knows he's right...or something.
Humans are 60% biologically related to cabbage, I think this explains this guy.
I don’t need you to substantiate this because I already know you’re right.
Cabbage is too healthy
"Dick Masterson brought up good points because they are self evident"
Good lord kill me, these people are beyond saving.
Agreed. Unfathomably, impossibly, incredibly stupid. Hopelessly stupid. How depressing.
They're just right because he agrees with them, I guess. That would mean that, to this guy, it is impossible for the people he agrees with to have a bad argument or to lose a debate. As long as he agrees with what they are saying, they are inherently correct and need not provide logic or evidence to back that up, they have basically won from the beginning. What the fuck?
A flat earther can win a debate. Debates don't prove whether the overall point is necessarily correct, it's just two (or a few) people attempting to justify those points to each other or an audience and they do that by providing evidence or logic to support their claims. If you fail to do that, you have lost that debate.
Digibro is not making a prescriptive argument, but Destiny is. Digibro is right in describing how it can actually work. It also not a crazy Position and much more in line with real-life versus Destiny's imagined prescriptive ideal world scenario.
Digibro argued that Destiny put words in his mouth and he was correct on all counts.
@Jesse Lee Peterson There's a difference between doing it on occasion and literally advocating it as an argument. If you can find me a time (in recent memory) Destiny stated that there was no need to substantiate a claim I'd flip my shit
@@DimiShimi So making reasonable assumptions from a vague statement is "putting words in people's mouths"?
This has to be the most pointless debate I've ever sat through.
According to digi, all arguments are pointless.
@@calmingvoice8646 Kinda paradoxical.
You can't prove or disprove that! it's in the eye of the beholder, which is apparently not yourself. I don't have to substantiate how this works everyone knows it.
An argument about how arguments work.
I think this might be the best debate actually.
New conspiracy theory: Somewhere in the US there is a special ed teacher who forces his/her kids to debate Destiny once they've gotten to a stage of being able to form grammatically correct sentences.
Cant wait for donald trump to reach that stage!
lmao at Digibro thinking he had Destiny when he said a flat earther could win a debate.
Someone: "Humans have 2 legs I won bingo yesterday that proves it."
Digibro: "HeY THaTs a GoOd POiNt!"
Everyone else: ??????????????
grhhh but then what’s the point in debates? If people are either right or wrong and the person that is right always wins the debate by virtue of showing up with the factually correct position, then why have a debate in the first place, the winner was decided before the debate began. Why did he agree to a debate? They are all pointless.
@@howiehiew The point of the debate is not really about who is correct as in some situations there is no correct answer. Usually when two people dabate they are convinced of differening veiw points, and the debate is to present your facts in a convincing manner to persuade the audience that your opinion is correct.
@@SourBitters but he can defend his beliefs, thats his point- i.e he can defend his beliefs but the person that made the argument couldnt- so he shouldnt have to change his beliefs just because some moron on his side didnt know which points to substantiate
@@squirllovechild Well in that case wouldn't you need to substantiate your points?
@@TheAhan2407 so therefore he lost that argument because he couldnt substantiate it. Right? It doesnt matter if its true. And then Digi says its entirely subjective to say who wins the argument, which is just stupid. Basically he said Dick Masterson won the debate because he has some "good" points that factually true, even if he cant prove it or give references to his argument. And no, just because someone won the argument doesn't mean you should change your beliefs.
"The earth is round" is a correct assertion. But it's not good enough on it's own, as it contains no argument, no reasoning, no evidence. And because anyone can assert anything at any time we need to make actual points and actual arguments to figure out which assertions are true and which are false.
Example: "Digibro is a pedantic bore", "Destiny is smarter than Digibro", "Digibro doesn't grok debate" - all these assertions are correct, but you won't know they're true until you listen to the video.
tl;dw - "Confirmation Bias is not a bad thing" and "Good points don't need to be substantiated" and "Let me be vague so I can walk back on any argument".
@@awerp9ioug8 Deconstruct? I'm not sure what you mean. Could you explain what you mean by "deconstruct one of the debaters arguments"?
[edit: "on" to "one"]
I'm pretty sure destiny understands what digibutt is saying. He addressed that Digiduder's argument is something that happens in the world, but Destiny's goal is the world not sucking. Being able to support your arguments is kind of healthy because we need to explore reality in order to come up with real solutions on topics that aren't as established as water being wet.
He rode that fence so hard I'm surprised it didn't break
@@awerp9ioug8 Agree with what you'r pointing out, but chiding ("semi-retarded") them for doing so isn't really fair. It kinda insinuates that it was blatantly obvious that the two argued on two different planes, but it really wasn't; when they're in the heat of the moment, the ability to make more broad assessments diminishes, meanwhile, you and I have the benefit of watching the playback and analyzing the discourse at whatever time and speed we wish. Hindsight is 20/20 man. :)
@@kmk1225 I picked up on this even before the end of the video, there's no need for in depth analysis and no real excuse to not have picked up on the fact that they were arguing about different things in real time. I could maybe see the "heat of the moment" thing because destiny kind of went out of his way to make ad hominem arguments and get under digi's skin, but in that case, it's really not as though though there's no one to blame for this trainwreck of a debate.
This is proof Destiny is a masochist. I would not have handled that well at all. Some people just want to watch the world burn, and some people want to debate them.

Eric Jett I think you’ve missed the point. For someone to be convinced, the argument must be more convincing than what you already know. If the case for the Earth not being the centre of the universe is better substantiated than what you already know then this will occur. However, just because in one particular debate between two people someone argues better than the other, does not mean you will be convinced by the better debater. The worse debater might make better points but fails to substantiate them there and then. Do you see the argument?
@@BrownBeast77 Yeah, but why would that be a good thing? Since Digibro came to Destiny to fight for it. Why would anyone do that?!
@@Yatsura2 Well if you agree with that argument, then it would follow that you would fight for the argument, on the condition that you wish to promote the truth (or at least what you consider to be a good argument)
@@BrownBeast77 How is asserting something as the truth with nothing to back you up is good way to promote the truth, more so when you say everything is subjective? I truly becomes I think something is true because I like or believe that person. Which there is conflict of saying everything is subjective, believing that there are truth claims, since truth claims are objective. Now, Ill grant art and beauty are subjective, but there are truths like dealing with the physical sciences.
Digi asserted DM was right about Destiny refuse to back that up with examples, same as DM did in his debate with Destiny. How does Digi believe DM is right? Other than he likes him, or believes DM is generally honest person, how does he know Destiny put words in people mouths. Yet, with out any evidence for DM claims, they fall pretty short. They come off as baseless assertions.
Outside general things people know, like sun rises in the east, sets in the west, fire is hot, water is wet, most things requires justification to believable.
Just asserting things to be true is literally al logical fallacy called fallacy of assertion. That's what we really got from Digi since he was trying to defend DM claims that destiny was putting words in people mouths.

@@Froad The problem is the clock is still subjectively right two times a day. If it was objectively right, the clock would have to have an infinite amount of precision in the measurement of time. Heck even then it would still be subjectively right because of the reference frame.
No, Digitard's logic would be that the broken clock is right twice a day - because we know it's right twice a day. And how do we know a broken clock is right twice a day? Because other factors substantiate it.

Destiny tried to use reasoning to prove his points, unfortunately Digibro is not a rational agent.
What do you expect from a guy who sits all day alone playing videogames and prolly has 15 minutes of face to face interaction a day.
@@LordSathar He runs an anime channel, not a gaming channel. And he has a girlfriend, so probably more than 15 minutes per day.
The most insufferable person you've ever debated, by far.
How Digibro became the voice of authority in the anime community is a mystery but it explains why the anime community is an irritating clusterfuck of elitism.
@Ulquiorra *SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP*
"How Digibro became the voice of authority in the anime community"?
He had one competitor and that guy was effectively retiring at the time when Digi got started. He put out more content about more relevant shows and identified when they performed well or poorly from a cinematographic perspective. You don't have to have strong logical reasoning skills to know how to compose a shot, whether with a real camera or with a drawing. Digi also talked about older and obscure anime, which made him even more unique and worth watching, even if you didn't necessarily enjoy watching his videos, because he exposed you to more anime you might like.
He hardly ever makes anime videos anymore, because *[drum roll]* other people are already covering the topic. He only got into it because there as a void.
Since when is Digibro the voice of authority
Ive never seen a destiny debate before but he comes off as a gigantic asshole. Also Digibro is just a fucking idiot who never shuts up
That's why I liked Gigguk and Glass Reflection way better than Digi. Never liked Digibros content. The dude is a joke
Logic got destroyed in this debate

"A point can be good even if it isn't substantiated so long as you know someone else has substantiated it"
"well, how do you know Dick's right? "
"because I could substantiate his points"
"Ok go for it"
"I don't want to"
So if he made points that have never been substantiated, then within his own definition they're not good points?
omgspofllol
Even if in reality they're correct 😁
omgspofllol and the
Why even debate at all then?
Since everything got substantiated by someone, somewhere, somewhen, every single argument ever made has to be right, according to Digibro.
One day, I was commenting on reddit, and I found this guy who argued that if you search up triggered SJW, you will see why the left is unhinged or something along those lines. I told him that was confirmation bias, then he gave me this hillarious reply:
"Frankly, confirmation bias is a bombastic concept. If new information is congruent with a previously formed notion, that’s not confirmation bias."
Dear God.

@Unknown ... ? I am referring to the OP's comment, and he is definitely quoting a young right-winger.
You lost when you mentioned going on reddit.
LMAO when Destiny asked Digibro early in the debate if he is on the spectrum. If you know anything about Digibro, he and his friends joke about that type of stuff to the point where sometimes it doesn't feel like a joke.
Pasicho do they really ?
he did a whole video about the spectrum a while back
Digi has said that he probably has some form of autism despite never being diagnosed. Autism is basically Digi´s favourite meme.

For a guy who used to make decent opinion pieces on anime, it's hard to digest he doesn't know the difference between stating a fact, and making a good point. That's pretty integral to understanding how an anime wanted to portray something.
The funny thing is he made an entire series pointing out why an anime was bad, and substantiating his points. Why didn't he just make a 30 second video and say, "it's bad, the end"
@@wibblemu9 true. He even had the good idea of expanding on the flaws and stuff.

This debate in a nutshell:
Destiny: 2+2=4
Digibro: In WhO's BoOk? I hAvE tO wOnDeR.
Is it just me, or do these to literally just have a different understanding of what a "point" is. Seems to me like digibro understands it to means "conclusion". To say "he made a good point" means, "he had a good conclusion". Destiny understands it the way I assume most people do, which is to say "he made a good point" means "he made a good argument."
Is that not the Crux of this entire issue?
Thing is: Digibro said this to fight for Dick Masterson and their debate style, which is circular. They are right, because they say they are right. They dont need to prove or substantiate anything, because they already said they are right, therefor they are. Why even start a debate with such mindset? Its totally useless. So even if you could turn and twist until Digibros nonsense makes sense in some way, its still begs the question: why? just why would you do that?!

Q: why can't you have a debate with a postmodernist
A: because they'll want to argue about what a debate is
It really was, and it demonstrates what's wrong with postmodernism outside of the domain of art; it's really just an excuse for bad-faith arguments based in semantic/epistemological hair-splitting. Or worse, endless devolution into such as the only things which actually can be discussed. Destiny ends this video literally accusing Digibro of being ant-truth, because of what was ultimately a very minor mismatch of scope in their usage of one term.
@@EuropiumGadolinium I mean, it is true in cases of fucking morons like Digi here, but it can be perfectly fine if used by someone with 2 functioning braincells.
This is fucking hilarious. Digibro is so laser-focused on pedantry that he refuses to acknowledge any reasonable conclusions from arguing in the way he does.
P1. Knowledge is justified true belief
P2. Digibro has claimed that he knows Dick's claims to be true
P3. Digibro could not justify that claim
Q. Digibro does not know that Dick's claims were true
Bad argument. You could plausibly have a justified belief without being able to prove that it's justified, ex. if you don't know how to express the justification for any number of reasons ;^)
The proper conclusion is that WE don't know if digibro has knowledge. Of course p1 is a hell of an assertion, so your argument may not even be sound
@@cool_sword
That's not how justification works. Irreducibles aren't justified, definitionally. It would just be a basic belief as opposed to knowledge.
@@cool_sword
>P1 is a hell of an assertion
JTB is a very common theory of knowledge. Unless you think Digibro is a student of Gettier I don't think you have a point here.
Digibro doesn't seem to have a justified belief, that is, in this specific case of his opinion of Destiny's behavior in the debate with Dick matching Dick's assertions, he implied that his justification was in what he saw in that video. Destiny even predicted that Digibro would not be able to bring up any specific examples as Dick failed to do as well.
Further, and more in general, it seems that Digibro doesn't even think solid justification is necessary, just that you "know it's true" prior, to which Destiny pressed him multiple times about *how* you know something is true given the prior evidence. Digibro deflected every time at that point. Given that and his defense of confirmation bias, can you have any justified beliefs while lacking any sort of solid epistemological foundation to build them on? I don't think this is just a matter of being able to communicate the justification, but I think it's reasonable to conclude that Digibro could not justify any claim, lacking any sort of reliable framework to do so.

@@howiehiew lots of drugs and therapy.
I know this is a hefty statement considering all the people Destiny has had to fight with, but THIS is by far the dumbest argument I have ever seen (on Digibro's part).
The implication that an argument can be good without substantiation is not only ludicrous, but it literally defies the reason people debate in the first place. If someone is claiming a position that is so obvious it doesn't need to be proven like "water is wet", then an "argument" between two people wouldnt exist. Debates exist literally to substantiate a claim or idea because it is a point of contention. Digibro saying that an point is good because it is right is ridiculous. We understand something or some statement to be correct or proper because you can PROVE it. I can say Michael Jackson was our 1st US president because thats how i feel but it doesnt mean anything because you can SUBSTANTIATE the claim that George Washington was through proof. This idea of having a good idea without any means to show it is good is absurd and delusional and defies any basic education we have ever been given.
A debate where a participant is so dumb that the argument became ridiculously circular and then went truly meta. amazin

Yatsura2 depends on what standards we’re using. But yeah, I know you’re referring to general debates for what’s rational in the 2010s
a debate allows everyone to come to a unified conclusion that works the best. if you just say all the facts without substantiating any of them, even if other people have substantiated these facts elsewhere, you probably lose the debate in the minds of all the people watching who have never had the opportunity to hear those points get substantiated. it's *your* job to substantiate the points *in the debate* so that people listening can hear the fact get substantiated. don't you think you'd want to convert the people who don't believe you? don't you think that in order to do that you would need to substantiate your claims right then and there to those specific people in order to win them over?
Yes, absolutely, in a perfect world. But the point Beatrice (nee Digi) is making is that the human condition exists. If two people in a debate have a side that is quantifiably wrong, and one that is quantifiably right, and have this debate in front of an audience that vehemently believe the point that is quantifiably wrong, then the emotional humanism can still make the person with the quantifiably wrong view the winner of the debate in the eyes of the audience. In theory, the lack of evidence on the wrong side and counterarguments on the right SHOULD sway opinion, but humans believe what they want. Some might want physical evidence that isn't possible, some don't have the tools to understand the evidence, some have deep emotional attachments to the incorrect conclusion and will disregard evidence without analyzing it.
The real issue here is that everyone is equating the winner of a debate with who is right. Debating, the sport, as trained and displayed, is about the argument and how you as a person can hold up that point. Destiny even agrees, you can have an incorrect view (flat earth) and if you can ague that point better than the round earther, you win.
The counter argument is that in quantifiable facts are by definition the winner, regardless of the individual debating them, debating in this case being arguing, not participating in the sport of debate.
Correct funny bhop man, but why are you here :))
If argue that destiny specifically chose "debate" both as a word and sport for just that reason. It has rules and metrics already established such that ones opinion or knowledge of truth don't matter. Team A may be better at sport than Team B, but if Team B gets a better score during competition, Team B wins. Regardless of facts about which Team "should" win when they compete.
"Destiny puts words in everybody's mouth."
@5:30 "so you're just kinda smarter than everybody."
Oh dear. This dude made it almost exactly 2 minutes from the start of the conversation before falling on his own sword.
Also, easy to defeat his position as his position seems to be "some people do some stuff, others do other stuff. Therefore nothing means anything." So any position he holds is as meaningless and useless as every other position. It's a universal tie.
Also, under his system, an argument of 11 = 11 vs 11 = 3 are both good points automatically prior to the individuals clarifying that one is using base10 and the other is in binary.
Yep.

It's pretty funny how Digi started arguing for borderline Objective Truths after he said there is not such thing as objectivity.
See, that's what i think is kinda hilarious. I agree that there is a such thing as an absolute objective truth in the universe (because ultimately everything is just mathematics and it all boils down to physics and blah, blah, blah this isn't what this is about) but he says in another video that objectivity doesn't exist.
There's a difference between saying there is objective truth and saying there is "objectively good" art. The only place where Digi asserts there is subjectivity is in people's opinions of things, and this is obviously true, people have subjective opinions about subjective things like art, and that's valid.
"I read Digibro's video titles therefore I understand his stances on everything"

@mayrana2 Openly. He's also doing a "Let's Argue" ripoff.

@mayrana2 oh, sure. I was just clarifying that he does it openly, having stated multiple times that he copied his format.
@Destiny Digibro seems to define "making a good point" with "stating the a truth", and by that definition, he is correct. What Destiny argues is that that is a misuse of language, because the correct definition of "making a good point" (at the very least in the realm of a debate) is to substantiate the conclusion you're arguing (hence "making" and not "having" a good point), i.e. it's more about the process than the result itself. Digibro (whether he realises it or not) seem to have dragged himself into a pointless argument about the use of language, while Destiny was trying to argue healthy critical thinking. You were talking past each other.
I wish Destiny had realised this earlier and made the point clearer so that he could have pointed out that the reason the focus on the thought process is so important is that a healthy thought process will tend towards a correct conclusion because it is self-correcting. Given the correct input, it will give the correct output.
Agree with this heavy. Its unfortunate that this barrier couldnt be passed because I wouldve liked to hear the positions as to why Digi thinks Destiny puts words in people’s mouths and I would have liked to see Destiny react accordingly
As much as I like this comment and agree that it might have made for a more productive conversation, I think Digibro expressed a number of other concerning positions that would have limited the amount of good that could come of progress in discussion, like his defense of confirmation bias and his refusal to answer Destiny's repeated requests for elaboration on how you know something is true from prior debate.
He tried with his example about how arguments in the world would be bad under Digiboro's framework. Digigu just yelled over him.
i dunno dude, destiny made it real fucking clear to digi what the problem with his thought process was, but digi just didn't get it at all. If digi was gonna argue about anything else under his definitions, continuing would've been completely pointless.
Reminds me of that the outline article, "The magical thinking of guys who love logic". Rationality and logic is a posturing in Digibro's world (and most of the Skeptosphere's), not an epistemological process of investigating the truth. Calling themselves logical and rational is almost a mantra to them, to quote the article, as if saying it over and over again makes it true.
One of those debates where Destiny argues against a person who hasn't researched philosophy on critical thinking and just wins the argument as a result... Honestly, when the guy made the argument that it is self-evident that the sky is blue I would've just suggested something like Plato's cave allegory... It's honestly just painful to watch this...
Destiny: *sets the bar at the floor for defending a stance*
DigiBrony: "I do not hold the stance that Dick Masterson reaches that bar"
Destiny: "So Dick Masterson didn't defend his stance?"
DigiBro: "Why are you putting words in my mouth?"
No you don't get it.
@Siedler Joe :^)
Wait, did I understand this right?
The conclusion is more important than the build-up (arguments, facts, reasoning etc) to this conclusion?
Exactly what digi is arguing.
Water is wet. Duh
If you know something is true, the arguments/facts/reasoning don't matter. Now how you know that X is true when you clearly don't care about arguments or facts is a different question. Basically : I like thinking X is true, so I think anyone who says it is correct, no matter how they got to that conclusion.
for someone who lives in debate Digibrony's childishness and ego doesn't allow him to engage in the format of a debate all that well. How is this even a conversation?

I think he's just trying to say "prescriptivism works for manipulation" despite not personally choosing to use it to that end, hence not "believing in it"
Whether or not you think prescriptivism "should be used"(which in most cases just comes down to whether you personally do) and whether or not it works are seperate arguments
Digi has said in the past that he takes pride in manipulating his friends and those around him, and described himself as "good at it", so probably not
Takes offense to ANY summation, yet constantly asks “So you’re saying......” lol
This guy spent the whole debate making a point about how you don't need to substantiate a good point, so why was he on here? Why did he spend the whole debate trying to SUBSTANTIATE that point. There would be no need to ever explain why you think you're right if everyone had this thought process.
He'd pribably say he did it because he wanted to. He keeps saying that no one SHOULD ever do anything but you CAN do whatever you want. He just believes in doing things despite futility.
He is saying that as a viewer he was able to substantiate, so the debater became irrelevant to his conclusion. (i know how to prove the earth is round, so i dont care how the debater tries to prove it, i simply listen to the counter points. If they are inadequite, i can conclude that round earth wins. Though objectivly the round earth representative lost the debate)
Hope that explains some of the logic
@@awerp9ioug8 can't really explain any logic where none is found
By his logic, a good point is one that has already been substantiated. Hence he felt the need to justify his hipster contrarian beliefs i guess
@@awerp9ioug8 In reality where context is a thing, the one who is closer to the truth (round) will bring better points. And even if ONE debate is less substantiated on the round side, on the average of all exchanges and debates pertaining to "Is the earth round or flat", round will get better arguments and eventually get accepted as reality.
You know as in the reality we live in.
If everyone had Digi's perspective, no scientific or political consensus would ever be reached, and roughly 50% of people would always be on the wrong side of one dichotomous debate (round/flat, evolution/creation, smoking kills/doesn't). This is utterly retarded and dangerous.
This debate is a shining example of why I've never had any respect for digi as a reviewer. He makes blanket assertions as if they are fact, never backs them up, and if you ever question him on it, he states it's all subjective and runs away. He doesn't understand what subjectivity/objectivity is and it shows horribly in his work. He once made a video where as you can know if a show is good or bad in the first episode, there are so many series that jump the shark or change direction in an incredible way after the first episode that this is obviously, demonstrably, false. When you actually listen to what he's saying, he's saying it's possible know if you'll "like" a show in the first episode, but he has no idea that's what he's actually saying because he has no idea, no understanding, of the concepts he's playing around with. Digi is a hack, always has been, and this debate helps to shine a light on that fact.
The best part is, he's been proven wrong by a show he thought was going to be good based on its first episode: Zankyou no Terror.
If you look through the comments on his 2 videos, you'll find a comment by him that links to a PRIVATE video by him, that breaks down why the show was bad.
Here's the kicker: he said problems with the show began to appear as early as episode 3, well within the "4 episode rule" that most people use, and which he dismissed as a waste of time.
@@GlassGolem That's beautiful. Digi is right until he's wrong, but he was never wrong because it's all subjective and he's right anyway so he was never wrong, but if he was, he wasn't, cause it's subjective.
I didn't know I needed this lmfao. What the heck crack is digi smoking these days
TM1337FalconPunch he’s been smoking this shit for years, dudes a weirdo
He's smoking Dick
His ego lmao. It’s fun to watch. Guy really thinks he’s Kanye or some shit
Literally admits his bias in the first minute of a video OMEGALUL
Basically, Destiny evaluates arguments on the merits of the argument, where as digibro evaluates arguments on the merits of it's conclusion. There, saved a lot of people some time.
jinofthethunder you’re not gonna stop me from getting lethal amounts of fucking stupidity.
Yeah but without considering the arguments you're pretty much just choosing whichever one you like the sound of best based on pre concieved notions
@@mikehawk9531 I don't see the connection between what you said and me.
@@mikehawk9531 Rope.
Digibro should stick to anime reviews.
He's got his head stuck up his own ass there, too.
And even there he gets shot down by Rikaperson.
Have you seen his "review" of Jojo Part 5? dude can't even review anime right.
@Lain Actually, no. People can have different taste about their Chinese cartoons. I never really watched his stuff beyond the very occasional TH-cam recommends. And didn't have a strong opinion about him.
But it was kind of hilarious to see him rebuke his own community for correcting him about his interpretation of aspects of Shield Hero when he was so clearly wrong that 30 seconds of re-watching a clip of the relevant scene would have mitigated.
From my experience, actually, he and I have similar taste in cartoons.
@@zillafire101 No, how bad is it?
And more important, does he...substantiate.... any of his points? haha
