Saying and doing.
In the moment, it's not so easy for some people.
YOU NEED DISCIPLINE!
It's a comfortable position to say that while calm. Another entirely while frustrated and not thinking clearly.
And again, debate is a practiced skill, meaning some people will just be naturally better at it than others.
It's a process.
there are ways to control your emotions, I understand that its harder for some people, but you can do it if you follow a methodology like Buddhism for example.
especially when your opponent is actively trying to disrupt your emotional state and obfuscate what they're saying
you have to essentially learn how not to care
I wouldn't practice apathy
I've went down that road
thats not what I mean
Can I jump rope without a rope?
Destiny isn't a good debater, he just takes easy targets
The left lose most debates because it’s all fueled by emotion.
That was the joke, sorry. lol
I don't believe in destiny personally. I just believe in changeable circumstances.
when he comes across someone with a coherent position, he just ends up going "WaAaAhT!?!?"
@Enigmus destiny is a YouTuber.
oh
He's not a *bad* debator, but debates with him typically end up getting mired in definitions and descriptions.
:c
I...
yeah
That was a blunder, lol.
like I said, he doesn't debate with good opponents, he just gets random people on twitter and pulls them into a debate.
He debated Sargon.
And Sargon subsequently pasted him.
Verbally speaking.
Destiny... who is that?
Is that his literal name on YouTube?
and then when Sargon debated with him, he had a hissy fit and DMCAs his second channel for putting clips of the debate on it.
that or OmniDestiny
Yeah.
😮
Destiny vs Jontron was interesting.
In a bad way.
Jontron is a smart guy, he's just not very practiced at debates.
Yeah
Jontron isn't that smart
he doesn't have a well fleshed out view of politics
