When Destiny debates while playing video games it makes me feel dumb like he has multiple processors in his brain but I only have a single processor.

I mean, at work i usually listen to podcasts or something while working. It kinda helps me focus on solving problems in the code and concentrating on what i am listening at the same time. If i do work in silence i will actually be less focused, same goes for listening to something and doing nothing else, i will remember less from what i listened to and find my mind wandering off of the thing i am listening to. Maybe it is similar for him so a game helps him focus in a weird way...

If you're multitasking instead of giving your "opponent" your full attention, nobody is going to take you seriously, as people do with Destiny.

Destiny is the only one who I have seen do this well

[joshuawynne]

This dude says "I" and "Me" soooo much

Interviewing destiny is definitely a low point in lex’s career.

Destiny is not at all always able to simultaneously play video games and debate effectively. I switched off to him after he debated a vegan playing some game. His argument was "but meat tastes good" and "I am one person and so will never make a meaningful difference so what's the point".

These are weak arguments anyone could come up with. His opponent thought his time was being wasted. It wasn't compelling listening at all and I've not bothered with him since. Although he does have his moments I'll admit.

I still.miss the destiny from the StarCraft days

[lgroots]

Is this guy a serious person that people respect on the left or who is he?
