The worst part about Destiny is how much of the metadebate showboating he does: “did you even read the ____?”… “he’s not answering the question!”… etc. these are bloodsport tactics to enrage the interlocutor and not tools of genuine debate.

Actually there’s a lot of bad things about destiny so idk if that’s the worst. It’s just incredibly grating as an audience member and I see how it affects his followers, turning them into more aggressive and less informative debaters. It’s gross, like nails on chalkboard.

You can look on the comments of Destiny’s twitter spats to see a small army of these dipshits who have been trained in the rhetorical art of making really bad points in ways that are likely to make their opponents annoyed.

It’s profoundly depressing that all of the energy that went into filesharing between 1999-2009 was then put (often directly) into crypto, which is now a decade in with no viable uses other than enriching early investors.
