      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.

    • @bleach00101
      @bleach00101 Před 5 lety +33

      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 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.

      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.

      They both agree that we can determine the correct winner.

      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.

      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.

      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

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.

      @@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'.

    "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.

      @@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.

      @@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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

      "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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    Digi's arguing poorly for some sort of Bayesianism, I think. "Even if you see what appears to be a persuasive argument for a very improbable position, you should basically stick with your initial idea, since it's more likely that you've been bamboozled by a fast-talker than that the earth is actually flat."
    It's a decent philosophy for navigating life, assuming you're not in the top 0.1% of reasoners.

    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.

    Irony with Digibro's analogy of a debate between a flatearther and roundearther is that latter's position is actually substantiated by prior research, data and observation. Which is why Digibro can confidently say that the roundearther is factually correct. And this is where Destiny is right - debating is art of putting forth arguments and accompanying evidence in a manner that makes your point stronger than simply basking in being factually right.
