    Destiny starting to leave his computer to do content but forgets to change his clothes.

    Props to whoever handled their audio because that looks windy af but the recording sounds great
  • It’s hard not to respect Destiny. So many political streamers just stay in their lane, posturing to ‘their crowd’ - if you watch a Destiny video, more often than not he’s debating someone he disagrees with & often with an audience who wouldn’t ordinarily be friendly to him. These conversations are how we can move forward & find common ground.

    I like how Steven looks like he's doing his daily exercises in a prison yard.
  • @KanziKanz
    Every debate should be like this, one mic, so they can’t interrupt eachother
  • I respect both Destiny's and Peter's perspectives and love seeing these 2 talk about issues together! More please!
  • @mastercats
    I feel like destiny guessed his first thing in the first try? But the other guy said no? It was basically the same idea of "the institutions are too corrupt"
  • @JL4YT
    I appreciate that both interlocutors wore mismatched shades of blue.
  • Whoever chose this location to shoot and framed this shot knocked it out of the park
  • @Birdishi
    Peter “Nazis don’t change their minds” Daryl Davis “hold my beer!” 🍺

    Awesome. Looking forward to the rest of the episode in Miami.
  • Love seeing you participate in the epistemology game, Peter! It's good to hear you formulate your ideas and opinions with data to back up your reasoning. Whatever people think about Destiny, he's got more balls than Matt Walsh and is willing to engage in conversations, instead of just judging others from the comfort of his office. 👍
  • I find it hilarious that Destiny tried so hard to steelman what he thought Peter's argument was gonna be, when in reality it was literally just "burn them down because they're woke" lmfao 😂
  • @maxxel_
    i really like the format with walking the mic back and forth so you physically can't interrupt each other or talk over the other person
  • I like this format. It gives you a lot of extra information about the knowledge both parties have about the opposite side with that intro and gives clear information on the arguments instead of it just being a shouting match.

    The SAT was designed to identify students with excellent grades from inferior high schools who are indeed capable of succeeding at previously high-performing universities like the Ivies. Students who got high grades at inferior high schools and scored low on the SAT were very likely to wash out of demanding university programs. Students who got high grades at inferior high schools and scored high on the SAT were very likely to do well in demanding university programs. This was very important in ending racial discrimination in university admissions during the 1960s. High SAT scores are a great help to students from poor economic backgrounds fighting against racial discrimination.
  • Can we make the semi circle larger? Please? I want to see mic guy run for 4-5 seconds between takes. Thanks 🙏
