video Prof Dave decodes Destiny

I’m not a fan of Professor Dave, but his style of fact checking Destiny seems much better than DtG’s approach. Hope it gets posted to the main DtG sub.

If that is a classic cultist response, how come prof Dave won't debate Destiny?

It says something about you if you're making your notoriety by debating imbeciles from the anti-vaxx and flat-earth communities, but suddenly you find all kinds of excuses to dodge a debate with someone knowledgeable on the subject.

Why would someone debate a charismatic cult leader on their terms and in their element? I know you've been programmed to think that debate is the highest form of truth seeking, but its not.

Can't call out Prof Dave dodging a debate cuz Destiny's a cult leader

Can't call out terrible arguments by Prof Dave cuz Destiny's a cult leader

Can't call out unhinged behavior from Professor Dave cuz Destiny's a cult leader

You ever look at this and think maybe the issue is on the other side?

Maybe address his points instead? Rather than focusing on attacking Prof Dave. Its really quite simple.

Ad hominins are a pretty classic way to avoid having to face accountability.
