im not sure there's going to be a clear winner by my judgement

So far Destiny looks like a joke.

@BTE I'm not a Destiny stan but really - Finkelstein namecalling, talking/shouting over the others, demanding that he can finish his statements but not offering the same courtesy, belittling someone on the other side of the table, etc.

think what you want about Destiny and his opinions but Finkelstein is a really poor communicator and debater imo.

@shankypanky The power went out here 10 minutes into the video but I agree that it was not very cool to call the other guy a moron like Norman did in the highlights at the beginning. I will finish the rest later today.

@BTE "I speak slowly because I place immense value on every word I say" and "words count" but he raised his voice numerous times declaring Destiny is a moron, moronic, running his motormouth, purposefully calling him by inaccurate names, etc. He was so passive aggressive throughout most of the nearly 5hr debate and it's really hard to take someone seriously or to give space for their ideas and opinions when he's so condescending and discourteous.

curious what your perspective is after you have a chance to watch/listen as maybe you see it differently.

bought Ṁ2,500 YES

I am so excited for this!! Norman is the best professor I ever had and look forward to watching him dominate this debate!!

@BTE I hope you'll share your thoughts afterwards! I have a very different bias from you so it would be interesting to compare and contrast our experience of it

@Tumbles I would be happy to.

IF the video is released at all 😁
