Never dated anyone (and was a virgin) until about two years after I graduated college. Six month of intentional learning how to be a good supportive boyfriend and also how sex works definitely easily replaced that “lost” decade of experiences. Speaking from experience, it’s all gonna be ok guys. Sometimes it just takes longer than you’d want
@@fiat_ow7876 met a friend of a friend and we immediately fell for each other. I wanted to be the best person I could for her so I very intentionally worked on my communication skills and we’ve only gotten stronger as a couple. We’re pretty different so we’ve both learned a LOT about life and relationships from each other. Coming up on two years and they’ve been the best of my life
Same! I didn't have my first relationship until 23 and didn't lose my virginity until then either. Now she's my wife, we have a house, I have a good job, and life is good! I was so scared of rejection but as soon as I actually tried I went on multiple dates and pretty quickly found the one I married.
i'm so happy for you guys! its good that all of that waiting paid off! i've wanted to be in a relationship for many years but i was always so scared to talk to girls and even in my mid 20s i still can't do it! lol!
I find that Steven does something very interesting, which is when he and someone else accidentally talk over each other, he would say "go ahead", but also will repeat the last thing that person said. It could just be me, but I don't see it done often, and I find it very considerate and shows how interested you are in the other person's perspective. Really cool
There's actually a conversation technique so to say in Japanese that I think everyone uses there. They often repeat parts of sentences the other person said and I guess they reinforce their attention and all that. I do not know what consequences this has, in what way talking changes but I just think that's quite similar.
It lets the other person know you listened and now are adressing and adding your opinion on what exactly they said, so they can also better understand how what youre saying relates to what theyve said, and what youre trying to get across to them with it. Effective communication skills.
This will blow your mind - there was a recent meta-analysis that compiled dozens of high quality studies on depression, anxiety, and even schizophrenia, to figure out if there was a common thread underlying them all. After controlling for a host of spurious factors across all the populations, the conclusion for the study found a statistically significant and undeniable proof in the data that Destiny is indeed a girl's name.
Was able to tune into half of it and this seemed like a good stream. I agree with Dr. K - I like how Destiny moved conversations and addresses opposing opinions
I learned more from this conversation than most media I've consumed over the past year. The information density is fantastic. Thank you for your incredibly insightful commentary. Both you and Destiny.
I really enjoyed the videos from years back where Dr. K talked with Devin Nash about mental health, I think it would be interesting to see another talk as a part of Mental Health May
I mean just... wow. Never have I felt compelled to take out a notebook and write down pieces of advice from media before, but this video is different. It seems as though each topic they speak on has so much value to the average person, so much PRACTICAL information that can be applied in one's life immediately. They are truly incredible people, who have spent so much time learning about life and mental health. I'll be keeping this in my saved videos forever.
Destiny: “I only wanna take a strong position on something that I feel incredibly grounded in, and for everything else I want to leave myself open to change”
49:09 "as you get older, there really are a lot of things you learn with age" Of course. I'm reminded of the quote from Muhammed Ali, who was quite radical in his youth and then became much more mild and temperate as he got older: "If a man is the same man at age 50 as he was at age 20, he's just wasted 30 years of his life." Nobody should want to stay the same as they get older. It just means you haven't grown at all, and if you aren't growing, what's the point of being alive?
I feel like Destiny and Dr K complement eachother so well. They are both similar in the fact that they're clearly very smart introspective guys, but they personalities are complete opposite and that makes for good convo's.
from my perspective that lack of friction and struggle is because people like me are in a difficult economic situation so we kind of get funneled into very few paths and options. So when you're forced to pick between options that don't work for you, you don't want to put in the extra sacrifice for it time and time again. I want to struggle to get the important things in life, but i'm not even allowed to do that sometimes. People make better decisions when they're in better positions to improve their lives.
Great content Dr. K. I’m new to your channel and your conversation with Destiny was very interesting and insightful. Big W to the moderation in the live chat for temporarily banning some of the worst chatters I ever seen in a long time. This is supposed to be a positive and safe space for intelligent discourse.
I think the natural way for a human to experience emotions is as objective features of the world. Its only since the advent of language and categorizing these feelings that we are able to separate them from our experience of reality. For example, I used to consider myself to be a person who didn't feel jealousy. Its only fairly recently that I noticed that I actually do feel jealousy however the way I would have previously conceptualized this feeling was like "I'm not jealous... their just really annoying". I think that this is the way in which people who are unaware of there emotions experience emotional states.
Destiny is amazing. I found him through dr K. I love These interviews I cannot enough of them and I don’t Know why. I have Bipolar depression (recently diagnosed about 2 weeks ago), I’m also diagnosed with MDD (major depressive disorder), anxiety, I also have medication to help me sleep if I’m having trouble. My psychiatrist says I have hallmarks of add/adhd but I haven’t been prescribed with any medication. I’ve known I am hyperactive for years, but I’m scared to ask because I’m not sure I could handle another diagnosis within two months. I have had disorders my whole life and am only now learning to live with it because I’ve just been diagnosed at 38. I hope my family is trying to understand it too but I’m not sure. Thanks for the content Dr K
I love talks like these because I used to think Destiny and I were very different on our view points, the more I watch or listen to people I used to disagree with and not understand the more I learn we are not so different afterall. Life should not be an echo chamber and we all have something to learn from somebody. People are multi-faceted, no one person can be right or wrong, its important we take all the bits from each other and learn.
1:48:15 Exactly. People have the outcomes of these service (friends on discord, convenience of food delivery apps, etc.) and are still miserable, which should be a testament to these so called “conveniences” being anything but. It all comes down to money and greed though lol.
From age 11 I went from my grandmother's to my mother's. And at my mother's I learned how to get away with literally everything. My poor mom was an alcoholic so no boundaries.. Today at 61 I'm still like that. Aimless. I've spent a lot of time focusing on changing that, then got diagnosed w adhd.. Like three months ago😂 listening to Dr k has really helped me more than all the therapists I've ever seen and still see. Light at the end of the tunnel.😂 I've spent my whole life getting away with it all..or so I wrongly thought. Now the price is high because I've not worked towards the age I am now. No savings. No security. Instant gratification with everything but that's a hell of a lot harder than setting a goal and actually working towards it.
I’m only a couple minutes in but since May is mental health awareness month I wanted to bring attention to the upcoming World Narcissistic Abuse Day. It’s a global event that takes place annually on June 1. Could you maybe offer your time to address this complex subject, please?
jesus i was looking forward to this one but its a long ass video :D thanks for both of your time and effort and that we can watch these videos for free! :)
Adults with memory loss are twice as more likely to kill themselves than their counterparts. This is how we lost our beautiful Robin Williams. Working in an Alzheimer's home, I can attest, they want to die. And its heartbreaking.
I don't know how to socialize anymore. After therapy and meditation, I feel super disconnected from people. Most people want to either socialize at Church/Bar. Both feel empty to me. I feel like I have to pretend to make friends. I'm 32 and all the friends I had in my 20s (bar friends) aren't my "friends" anymore. Idk where or how to meet people. When I randomly meet people too I feel so disconnected. Either attracting people that want/need help and I'm tired of being people's therapists, I want a friend. OR people that care about, what I feel like, are superficial things. So I end up having to be disingenuous/inauthentic. IDK where or how to make friends and it feels like the Simpsons meme of Grandpa. "I used to be cool and part of IT. Now what is cool is weird and scares me. It'll happen to you too"/
1:05:00 this is interesting because the only reason I engage in discussion the vast majority of the time is to learn what I might be missing. The conversation may sound like a debate, but I’m actually most of the time merely trying to figure out how two rational intelligent people could possibly come to two different conclusions if given the same set of facts. For me, it’s never about winning or losing. I don’t remember a single time I’ve ever thought about trying to win in a conversation or debate. It’s also probably why although I sound very obstinate in my beliefs, people are often surprised at how quickly I change them when presented with new information.
In regards to the comments about political beliefs being less subject to change within parties around the 58:00 ish mark. I think individual people can change beliefs more nimbly, groups of people (especially ones established around believing particular things) almost never can without huge amounts of coordinated effort.
Holy shit... I finally understand why I have so much trouble finding motivation. I am 33 now, but when I was 23, I decided to move out from my parents house. The reason? Because I felt like every aspect of my life had been decided for me and for once, I wanted some control, some say, as to what to do. Simplest things like what to wear, what to eat, what to watch, what to play, who to talk to, how to decorate my room, how to cut/ style my hair, what to believe in, how to spend my free time, and as I got older, where to work, and what college to go to, had to be decided by my parents. I felt like my life was being lived for me, and so I packed my shit one day, and left. It was a shock to them ofcourse, because they had no clue I was gonna leave everything they had provided for me, and just figure shit out on my own. They were sad and angry, but they still told me that I was welcome to return if I ever needed to. But I refused. 10 years later, I still have the same job, I work from home, as a leather carver for this boot company. I droped out of college 2 years after I left my parents, and as much as Id like to go back, I struggle so much deciding what to go back for. I live alone, and I usually stay home just carving leather, really only have 1 friend, I have 2 youger brothers that I love so much, and have a girlfriend, that has to put up with me being so antisocial and reclusive, because I really like being alone here in my apartment. But even having their support, I find it very difficult to stay in task, often falling behind with work, and always finding ways to distract myself here. Lately, Ive been really wanting to do more, stepping up my game, from solely carving on leather, to creating my own business, and perhaps make my own leather products. Im also really interested on nutrition, and the way it affects the mind, and lately been looking into the investment world, long term/ day trading and the sorts. But I just dont have the motivation, I dont know where I should start, sometimes I feel like theres a lot of things I want to do, but I become overwhelemed about where to begin, which one i should focus on, and as a 33 year old, I feel like my time is running out. Also, I hate people offering me help whether its monetary, offfering me a job, or telling me I should do this and that, mainly because my whole younger life, I was told what to do. I feel like I need to figure things out on my own, and so, It feels like Im trapped, because I know that if I let people help me, my life could probably improve, but I just dont want to. I have to be capable of figuring things out on my own, or else I feel like Im failing myself and that means that I will always need someone to tell me how to live, and to me, thats fucking pathetic.
2:14:35 not asian american, but this is literally why i stopped going to therapy, i made up some bs excuse because to me it was insanely expensive even if it did help me.
Its kinda funny how all of the "positive community" messaging goes down the toilet once some of the people in this community see someone that disagrees with them politically.
Don't trust comments. People who are extremists tend to be overrepresented in comments to post negative things when they see a political opponent because they want you to hate them. It's purely manipulation and you're dumb if you fall for it.
There are a lot of great topics covered in this conversation. I'll have to remember to come back to this video from time-to-time to review and re-digest the discussion. 🌞
I was never encouraged to cry and actually learned it was best not to cry. From school experiences as well as at home. I can go to the funeral of someone I love dearly and not shed a tear. And it's not a good thing.
feelin sad for someone is okey but to cry means you value something too much so it is a natural result of that it is kinda normal if its your parents too but is it supposed to be encouraged ? i can grayp you tf out if you want to cry that much and you decide if its good thing , if its good then i wouldve committed a virtue by doint this :D
It’s called the limbic system. We identify with our worldviews because our worldviews inform what we viscerally believe to be an accurate map of reality, as in how to survive, what to do and what is best, and this shapes our identities, too, it’s all tied together. If someone then questions your worldview, that, by extension, is an attack on your identity and your boundaries in terms of what you believe on a gut level is what you need to do to survive, so it feels like the equivalent of literally being attacked, like by a wild animal, switching on the sympathetic nervous system and going into fight or flight mode. It’s also called cognitive dissonance. Because of our modern ideologies, informed by ideas that are detached from real survival, real perspective, we develop these ill fitting identities. There are tons of other factors involved, of course, but that’s the geist of it.
1:16:50 I just KNEW the moment Dr K would acknowledge a bias against men in psychology he needed to cover himself with things like "in a sense....not toward women" or "I don't wanna get into gender dynamics". It's a rule for Dr K: You can acknowledge biases against women confidently all day long but never against men without 1000 appeasing words. Without fail, every time
@@reiggier9211 Id consider it emotion in the same way « love » or « infatuation » is an emotion. Lust is a feeling, and it can influence your behavior. Yeah it’s rooted in sexual attraction, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t an emotion. I think in many ways your question echoes OP’s point. Love and heartbreak have been branded archetypically feminine so are more clearly seen as emotions. Lust is more archetypically masculine, so is viewed less as an emotion.
@@greatgyatso5429 I don't think so yeah that doesn't seem right to me. I don't know how to argue it but it doesn't express itself to me in my consciousness as an emotion it just seems like being horny.
@@reiggier9211 Well that could be said for any emotion really. Lust is influenced by your situation and influences your behavior and mood. I would classify that as an emotion.
He gotta talk fast to explain "simple" claims that debate opponents often give that actually lacks important details after all lol, especially when the opponent like to battle with just being tribalistic & loud
It's partly why I actually enjoy listening to Destiny. Especially during debates. So many people are so long winded and take forever to make a point. But Tiny here speaks quickly and concisely when making his points. Its so refreshing.
Why do I wanna quit cannabis? The reasons are twofold: 1 - because I want to be able to pass a drug test and 2 - because I'd rather spend the money I spent on weed on Warframe instead.
I also did sense a tinge of pretentiousness or mainly just DrK KNOWING everything and destiny having to be educated as he is on a lower level of understanding. I wonder if destiny knew this would be the context when he came on. Also I do find it a certain divine retribution because this is generally the dynamic between destiny and his guests.
Just saying I've been wanting this again for so long. I follow Destiny and Dr K and love seeijg these two humble intellectuals interact. So glad yall could have a conversation !!
It would be really cool to have the completely out-of-balance streamers chat with these 2 gents for like an hour or so about their perspective and issues. great and productive conversation
1:01:40 I don't think that's true. It's not about "the thing 10 years ago" being unforgivable. A lot of times I think people just want an admission of fault or an apology. They want to hear that it wont happen again or the person will try not to let it happen again or that they're currently against it. I keep seeing people online say that "if you give people an inch, they'll take a mile" or to "never apologize". When something bad is brought up, the person doesn't apologize, gets defensive, calls it cancel culture, and continues to engage with it while bringing more attention to how defensive they're being. You shouldn't have to answer for every single bad thing you've done in your life but if you've left it up online for the public to see, it does matter how you address it when it's brought up. That's why sometimes not apologizing ends up working. If a UA-camr did something bad in the past, but they're well liked, not engaging can leave their fanbase to assume "of course they've changed, that was X years ago" There's also fans who will get really upset if they apologize because they "caved to the mob". Staying quiet lets the fans who care assume whether they've changed or "caved" without losing any sides.
I wish Dr.K could do a breakdown of all of the Destiny hate. People seem to take real offense with his demeanour and hard hitting arguments. I think there is some ego involved where people can't take to hear that they are wrong about things and Destiny might not be the most "careful" person when it comes to that since he doesn't care if you get mad.
Yes but it's also ego on behalf of Destiny as well. I have not got round to watching the whole video yet so hopefully this is addressed. One of the biggest issues that the more rational haters of Destiny have is frustration with him being unable to concede any arugment. He will talk and talk and talk and despite a great many of his debate opponents proving him wrong time and again he refuses to give ground. Recent examples of this is where he has someone explaining literal musc theory to him and refuses to walk back his opinions int he face of someone vastly more qualified than he is about a specialist topic. Neither does he do himself any favors when he refuses to budge from the "we don't have all the information" position any time accusations of SA come up in the "online" community. The biggest problem here is that the way he expresses his stance often comes across as victim blaming.
@@ullantra I've never heard Destiny blame victims of SA, or say anything that comes off as victim blaming. I do know he's been clipped in a way where he comes off as if he's victim blaming but can you fault him for that?
@@Laroac yeah I get that. He also said the biggest problem is the way Destiny expresses his stance on SA. I don't think there's a problem with the way he expresses his stance at all
Destiny wrote a whole thing about how white people using the n-word is okay, hate raids trans streamers, was willing to bankroll kiwi farms, and hangs out with Nick Fuentes. It is not hard to understand why people hate Destiny when you see the kind of person he is
It's not that "Men" don't see anger as an emotion, but that emotional is typically used for, well, multiple emotions. When a woman is simply angry all the time, she too is said to have "anger issues". But the emotional angle is used when someone frequently shows a scope of different emotion. If anything, the reason you only hear about men having issues with anger is because that's the ... "society-approved" emotion. But for men who also show a spectrum of emotion, they too are said to be emotional. Source, a guy who's been called emotional many times, both as praise and insult.

@@WanderTheNomadsomeone asked about racialized trauma in the live chat. Dr. K said he didn’t have anything specifically for it but I was too slow to respond in the chat.

Of course. I'm reminded of the quote from Muhammed Ali, who was quite radical in his youth and then became much more mild and temperate as he got older: "If a man is the same man at age 50 as he was at age 20, he's just wasted 30 years of his life."
Nobody should want to stay the same as they get older. It just means you haven't grown at all, and if you aren't growing, what's the point of being alive?
Why do you think growing is the point of being alive?
I feel like Destiny and Dr K complement eachother so well. They are both similar in the fact that they're clearly very smart introspective guys, but they personalities are complete opposite and that makes for good convo's.
from my perspective that lack of friction and struggle is because people like me are in a difficult economic situation so we kind of get funneled into very few paths and options. So when you're forced to pick between options that don't work for you, you don't want to put in the extra sacrifice for it time and time again. I want to struggle to get the important things in life, but i'm not even allowed to do that sometimes. People make better decisions when they're in better positions to improve their lives.
Great content Dr. K. I’m new to your channel and your conversation with Destiny was very interesting and insightful. Big W to the moderation in the live chat for temporarily banning some of the worst chatters I ever seen in a long time. This is supposed to be a positive and safe space for intelligent discourse.
It is, but also a place where people with poor mental health may gather.
@@WanderTheNomad You are probably right, the personal attacks were so nasty. Disgusting.
@@Chris-il5im you should probably look into destinys history more if you think that the chatters were disgusting
@@rentaltoast2201 Two wrongs don't make a right
@@meltygear5955 okay? destiny is still gross himself that fact remains
I was hoping this would happen again and here we are, i love listening to you too
I pressed play on this video and completely forgot it was running while I did my work. the “chat” at 9 minutes scared the absolute crap outta me
My favorite collab. Thanks guys!
The last hour is fantastic and really interesting topics I haven't considered
I think the natural way for a human to experience emotions is as objective features of the world. Its only since the advent of language and categorizing these feelings that we are able to separate them from our experience of reality.
For example, I used to consider myself to be a person who didn't feel jealousy. Its only fairly recently that I noticed that I actually do feel jealousy however the way I would have previously conceptualized this feeling was like "I'm not jealous... their just really annoying". I think that this is the way in which people who are unaware of there emotions experience emotional states.
Destiny is amazing. I found him through dr K. I love
These interviews I cannot enough of them and I don’t Know why.
I have Bipolar depression (recently diagnosed about 2 weeks ago), I’m also diagnosed with MDD (major depressive disorder), anxiety, I also have medication to help me sleep if I’m having trouble. My psychiatrist says I have hallmarks of add/adhd but I haven’t been prescribed with any medication. I’ve known I am hyperactive for years, but I’m scared to ask because I’m not sure I could handle another diagnosis within two months. I have had disorders my whole life and am only now learning to live with it because I’ve just been diagnosed at 38. I hope my family is trying to understand it too but I’m not sure. Thanks for the content Dr K
Loved this and other Dr K & Destiny convo's. I really appreciate Destiny's approach.
I love talks like these because I used to think Destiny and I were very different on our view points, the more I watch or listen to people I used to disagree with and not understand the more I learn we are not so different afterall. Life should not be an echo chamber and we all have something to learn from somebody. People are multi-faceted, no one person can be right or wrong, its important we take all the bits from each other and learn.
1:48:15 Exactly. People have the outcomes of these service (friends on discord, convenience of food delivery apps, etc.) and are still miserable, which should be a testament to these so called “conveniences” being anything but. It all comes down to money and greed though lol.
From age 11 I went from my grandmother's to my mother's. And at my mother's I learned how to get away with literally everything. My poor mom was an alcoholic so no boundaries.. Today at 61 I'm still like that. Aimless. I've spent a lot of time focusing on changing that, then got diagnosed w adhd.. Like three months ago😂 listening to Dr k has really helped me more than all the therapists I've ever seen and still see. Light at the end of the tunnel.😂 I've spent my whole life getting away with it all..or so I wrongly thought. Now the price is high because I've not worked towards the age I am now. No savings. No security. Instant gratification with everything but that's a hell of a lot harder than setting a goal and actually working towards it.
Dr K is gonna show up on Chris Williamson's podcast soon? That's so hype
I’m only a couple minutes in but since May is mental health awareness month I wanted to bring attention to the upcoming World Narcissistic Abuse Day. It’s a global event that takes place annually on June 1. Could you maybe offer your time to address this complex subject, please?
Seconded. Thanks, Douglas
👍😎
Destiny at 15:37
jesus i was looking forward to this one but its a long ass video :D thanks for both of your time and effort and that we can watch these videos for free! :)
Adults with memory loss are twice as more likely to kill themselves than their counterparts. This is how we lost our beautiful Robin Williams. Working in an Alzheimer's home, I can attest, they want to die. And its heartbreaking.
I love how they wanted to wrap up and kept talking for over half an hour xD
great conversation! Thanks
Damn this was fire from start to finish I'm not even joking, 3 hours of complete engagement holy hell
I don't know how to socialize anymore.
After therapy and meditation, I feel super disconnected from people. Most people want to either socialize at Church/Bar. Both feel empty to me. I feel like I have to pretend to make friends. I'm 32 and all the friends I had in my 20s (bar friends) aren't my "friends" anymore. Idk where or how to meet people. When I randomly meet people too I feel so disconnected. Either attracting people that want/need help and I'm tired of being people's therapists, I want a friend. OR people that care about, what I feel like, are superficial things. So I end up having to be disingenuous/inauthentic. IDK where or how to make friends and it feels like the Simpsons meme of Grandpa. "I used to be cool and part of IT. Now what is cool is weird and scares me. It'll happen to you too"/
1:05:00 this is interesting because the only reason I engage in discussion the vast majority of the time is to learn what I might be missing. The conversation may sound like a debate, but I’m actually most of the time merely trying to figure out how two rational intelligent people could possibly come to two different conclusions if given the same set of facts. For me, it’s never about winning or losing. I don’t remember a single time I’ve ever thought about trying to win in a conversation or debate. It’s also probably why although I sound very obstinate in my beliefs, people are often surprised at how quickly I change them when presented with new information.
In regards to the comments about political beliefs being less subject to change within parties around the 58:00 ish mark. I think individual people can change beliefs more nimbly, groups of people (especially ones established around believing particular things) almost never can without huge amounts of coordinated effort.
Ah, mature conversation is so refreshing
Holy shit... I finally understand why I have so much trouble finding motivation. I am 33 now, but when I was 23, I decided to move out from my parents house. The reason? Because I felt like every aspect of my life had been decided for me and for once, I wanted some control, some say, as to what to do. Simplest things like what to wear, what to eat, what to watch, what to play, who to talk to, how to decorate my room, how to cut/ style my hair, what to believe in, how to spend my free time, and as I got older, where to work, and what college to go to, had to be decided by my parents. I felt like my life was being lived for me, and so I packed my shit one day, and left. It was a shock to them ofcourse, because they had no clue I was gonna leave everything they had provided for me, and just figure shit out on my own. They were sad and angry, but they still told me that I was welcome to return if I ever needed to. But I refused.
10 years later, I still have the same job, I work from home, as a leather carver for this boot company. I droped out of college 2 years after I left my parents, and as much as Id like to go back, I struggle so much deciding what to go back for.
I live alone, and I usually stay home just carving leather, really only have 1 friend, I have 2 youger brothers that I love so much, and have a girlfriend, that has to put up with me being so antisocial and reclusive, because I really like being alone here in my apartment. But even having their support, I find it very difficult to stay in task, often falling behind with work, and always finding ways to distract myself here.
Lately, Ive been really wanting to do more, stepping up my game, from solely carving on leather, to creating my own business, and perhaps make my own leather products. Im also really interested on nutrition, and the way it affects the mind, and lately been looking into the investment world, long term/ day trading and the sorts. But I just dont have the motivation, I dont know where I should start, sometimes I feel like theres a lot of things I want to do, but I become overwhelemed about where to begin, which one i should focus on, and as a 33 year old, I feel like my time is running out.
Also, I hate people offering me help whether its monetary, offfering me a job, or telling me I should do this and that, mainly because my whole younger life, I was told what to do. I feel like I need to figure things out on my own, and so, It feels like Im trapped, because I know that if I let people help me, my life could probably improve, but I just dont want to. I have to be capable of figuring things out on my own, or else I feel like Im failing myself and that means that I will always need someone to tell me how to live, and to me, thats fucking pathetic.
This was such a fantastic philosophical discussion
What an awesome conversation. Loved this whole thing.
2:14:35 not asian american, but this is literally why i stopped going to therapy, i made up some bs excuse because to me it was insanely expensive even if it did help me.
Always fun to see these two talk.
Its kinda funny how all of the "positive community" messaging goes down the toilet once some of the people in this community see someone that disagrees with them politically.
And it’s not even that big of a difference. Narcissism of small differences, I guess.
It’s really disappointing
Don't trust comments. People who are extremists tend to be overrepresented in comments to post negative things when they see a political opponent because they want you to hate them. It's purely manipulation and you're dumb if you fall for it.
lol yea was looking at youtube chat and its just weird accusation flying everywhere
Empathy for me and not for thee
Destiny has really matured since I was watching him back in 2016
Leaving the far left will do that to you. Oh, and age as well :)
@@TheAbsoluteSir he was never far left, please understand what you're talking about first before using those terms
@@MidnightEkakityty
How so?
There are a lot of great topics covered in this conversation. I'll have to remember to come back to this video from time-to-time to review and re-digest the discussion. 🌞
I was never encouraged to cry and actually learned it was best not to cry. From school experiences as well as at home. I can go to the funeral of someone I love dearly and not shed a tear. And it's not a good thing.
feelin sad for someone is okey but to cry means you value something too much so it is a natural result of that it is kinda normal if its your parents too but is it supposed to be encouraged ? i can grayp you tf out if you want to cry that much and you decide if its good thing , if its good then i wouldve committed a virtue by doint this :D
2:31:46 The exact moment Dr.K thought of the greatest roast of all time
One Love!
Always forward, never ever backward!!

Loving this content! One of the best conversations
this was such a great conversation. so much information and ideas
It’s called the limbic system. We identify with our worldviews because our worldviews inform what we viscerally believe to be an accurate map of reality, as in how to survive, what to do and what is best, and this shapes our identities, too, it’s all tied together. If someone then questions your worldview, that, by extension, is an attack on your identity and your boundaries in terms of what you believe on a gut level is what you need to do to survive, so it feels like the equivalent of literally being attacked, like by a wild animal, switching on the sympathetic nervous system and going into fight or flight mode. It’s also called cognitive dissonance. Because of our modern ideologies, informed by ideas that are detached from real survival, real perspective, we develop these ill fitting identities. There are tons of other factors involved, of course, but that’s the geist of it.
Had to check to make sure I didn't have playback speed sped up at some points when blue hair was talking
Kind of sad they didnt get to talk about the mental impact of living as a man with a girls name.
You get to be a millionaire and have a hot gf
Can someone tell me the name of the paper that Dr.K was referencing around @2:35:04 about factors affecting learning in rats
3 HOUR TALK LETSGOOOOOO! :D love this
Ive missed the interviews! Keep em coming
1:16:50 I just KNEW the moment Dr K would acknowledge a bias against men in psychology he needed to cover himself with things like "in a sense....not toward women" or "I don't wanna get into gender dynamics". It's a rule for Dr K: You can acknowledge biases against women confidently all day long but never against men without 1000 appeasing words. Without fail, every time
It seems like a bias on your end too. Iirc, he used the same quotes when talking about men and rejection
Can't express how much I love this crossover. I'm not even a hard fan of neither of them
Dr K is the best therapist in the universe he really gets me
I think the whole “emotionality is for women” only sells because anger and lust have somehow been re-branded as “not emotions”
Is lust an emotion? I think lust is just sexual desire right?
@@reiggier9211 Id consider it emotion in the same way « love » or « infatuation » is an emotion. Lust is a feeling, and it can influence your behavior. Yeah it’s rooted in sexual attraction, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t an emotion.
I think in many ways your question echoes OP’s point. Love and heartbreak have been branded archetypically feminine so are more clearly seen as emotions. Lust is more archetypically masculine, so is viewed less as an emotion.
@@reiggier9211 Horniness is definitely an emotion
@@greatgyatso5429 I don't think so yeah that doesn't seem right to me. I don't know how to argue it but it doesn't express itself to me in my consciousness as an emotion it just seems like being horny.
@@reiggier9211 Well that could be said for any emotion really. Lust is influenced by your situation and influences your behavior and mood. I would classify that as an emotion.
That was a very interesting conversation. These collabs with streamers are always great content
Destiny's talking so fast I keep checking my playback speed!
same HAHAH
Yeah, I keep forgetting to drop it from 2.0x to 1.75x when Destiny's on stream.
He gotta talk fast to explain "simple" claims that debate opponents often give that actually lacks important details after all lol, especially when the opponent like to battle with just being tribalistic & loud
It's partly why I actually enjoy listening to Destiny. Especially during debates. So many people are so long winded and take forever to make a point. But Tiny here speaks quickly and concisely when making his points. Its so refreshing.
For the first time, I didn't have to manually increase the speed
I can't stop thinking about Walt busting into Jesse's van, going "why are you BLUE???"
uffff looking forward that trauma deep dive, thanx!!
Why do I wanna quit cannabis? The reasons are twofold:
1 - because I want to be able to pass a drug test and
2 - because I'd rather spend the money I spent on weed on Warframe instead.

How's the new update?
@@banqsterz8160 Pretty fun, I gotta say
yeah but then u cant play Warframe while high so what's the point?
@@newuser689 you can still play high on caffeine.
I didn't know this was going to be 3 hours of DrK psychologizing Destiny and disproving every single one of his preconceived notions.
I also did sense a tinge of pretentiousness or mainly just DrK KNOWING everything and destiny having to be educated as he is on a lower level of understanding. I wonder if destiny knew this would be the context when he came on. Also I do find it a certain divine retribution because this is generally the dynamic between destiny and his guests.
is dr K partnered with youtube now? i've seen a lot of his recent streams be on youtube
When it comes to this, Destiny is banned from Twitch so the interview has to be done here
He wanted to reach a broader audience by using both twitch and UA-cam streams
Twitch recently dropped their exclusivity clauses so pretty much everyone started streaming to multiple platforms (mostly UA-cam)
Thanks!
I would never have put it together that my teenage romanticized idea of “live for today” was a product of my circumstances. Thanks for the insight.
I love these kinds of videos. So educational.
Just saying I've been wanting this again for so long. I follow Destiny and Dr K and love seeijg these two humble intellectuals interact. So glad yall could have a conversation !!
44:46-48:43 passive vs active motivation
I WATCHED 3 Hours of this podcast and don't regret 😂
It would be really cool to have the completely out-of-balance streamers chat with these 2 gents for like an hour or so about their perspective and issues.
great and productive conversation
It’s been a while since I needed this video
Very useful discussion, thank you for this !
does anyone have a link to the study mentioned at 2:34:28?
1:01:40 I don't think that's true. It's not about "the thing 10 years ago" being unforgivable. A lot of times I think people just want an admission of fault or an apology. They want to hear that it wont happen again or the person will try not to let it happen again or that they're currently against it. I keep seeing people online say that "if you give people an inch, they'll take a mile" or to "never apologize". When something bad is brought up, the person doesn't apologize, gets defensive, calls it cancel culture, and continues to engage with it while bringing more attention to how defensive they're being. You shouldn't have to answer for every single bad thing you've done in your life but if you've left it up online for the public to see, it does matter how you address it when it's brought up.
That's why sometimes not apologizing ends up working. If a UA-camr did something bad in the past, but they're well liked, not engaging can leave their fanbase to assume "of course they've changed, that was X years ago" There's also fans who will get really upset if they apologize because they "caved to the mob". Staying quiet lets the fans who care assume whether they've changed or "caved" without losing any sides.
why is this guy so argumentative. like he just wants to fight everyone!
when
I wish Dr.K could do a breakdown of all of the Destiny hate. People seem to take real offense with his demeanour and hard hitting arguments. I think there is some ego involved where people can't take to hear that they are wrong about things and Destiny might not be the most "careful" person when it comes to that since he doesn't care if you get mad.
Yes but it's also ego on behalf of Destiny as well. I have not got round to watching the whole video yet so hopefully this is addressed. One of the biggest issues that the more rational haters of Destiny have is frustration with him being unable to concede any arugment. He will talk and talk and talk and despite a great many of his debate opponents proving him wrong time and again he refuses to give ground.
Recent examples of this is where he has someone explaining literal musc theory to him and refuses to walk back his opinions int he face of someone vastly more qualified than he is about a specialist topic.
Neither does he do himself any favors when he refuses to budge from the "we don't have all the information" position any time accusations of SA come up in the "online" community. The biggest problem here is that the way he expresses his stance often comes across as victim blaming.
@@ullantra I've never heard Destiny blame victims of SA, or say anything that comes off as victim blaming. I do know he's been clipped in a way where he comes off as if he's victim blaming but can you fault him for that?
@@danethenice he said "comes across" not that they were it a subjective opinion some peopel have regardless of how destiny didn't mean it
@@Laroac yeah I get that. He also said the biggest problem is the way Destiny expresses his stance on SA. I don't think there's a problem with the way he expresses his stance at all
Destiny wrote a whole thing about how white people using the n-word is okay, hate raids trans streamers, was willing to bankroll kiwi farms, and hangs out with Nick Fuentes. It is not hard to understand why people hate Destiny when you see the kind of person he is
It's not that "Men" don't see anger as an emotion, but that emotional is typically used for, well, multiple emotions. When a woman is simply angry all the time, she too is said to have "anger issues". But the emotional angle is used when someone frequently shows a scope of different emotion.
If anything, the reason you only hear about men having issues with anger is because that's the ... "society-approved" emotion. But for men who also show a spectrum of emotion, they too are said to be emotional.
Source, a guy who's been called emotional many times, both as praise and insult.
Need more of these convos with Destiny
I unfortunately don’t have 3 hours to watch all of this. are there some moments people can clue me into to get a grasp of important stuff?
Interesting thing about range of acceptable mistakes at 25 - 35
Just put it on while you do something else. It works great as a talk show while working
I always enjoy y'all's discussions :)
Great vid! Here for Dr K, but interesting guest

Anyone know what happened at 26:25?
This is completely unrelated but Dr. K is 40?? First guy Ive seen to reverse age. Wow. I thought he was like 28-30
This is what most 40 year Olds look like. Hate to break it to you. 40 isn't old.

asians dont get old until 60 tbh
@@chi.chosen I could see thinking he's in his mid-thirties but if you actually thought Dr.K was 28, your age-detection game needs serious calibration.

@@Endra616 I don't think it's a bot since they're not spamming it everywhere. Also it's actually somewhat relevant to the content of this channel(though maybe not to this video).
@@WanderTheNomad my money is on its a bot. lots of youtube channels posting comments such as these have had playlists on succulents. (oddly enough) chances are you're a bot too.
@@Endra616 dunno man, I've seen a lot of different types of bots on UA-cam and this doesn't seem like any of them. Though I might change my mind if I see the exact same comment being spammed on another comment thread, video, channel, etc.
I'll also start to keep in mind that succulent playlist thing you mentioned, but normally I just check the username, profile picture, when the account was created, and it's most recent comments(which I'm pretty sure you can only view on the mobile app).

@@WanderTheNomadsomeone asked about racialized trauma in the live chat. Dr. K said he didn’t have anything specifically for it but I was too slow to respond in the chat.

Destiny has a lot of issues and his biggest problem is he sees life as a debate and only listens to himself but at the same time its like he doesn’t see all his obvious flaws. This guy is one of the most knowledge filled individuals who’s actually very unintelligent.
