Have We Reached Peak Stupidity? - Destiny - #756

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Destiny. He's a streamer and a YouTuber. It's hard to work out what's happening in the world. It's difficult to determine if what you see or hear or read is truthful or trolling or a psyop. So are people actually becoming dumber, or is it a normal response to a confusing time? Expect to learn what the future of media might look like, why being tribal is so dangerous, whether we have passed peak woke, Destiny's thoughts on the 2024 election, if the red pill movement is dead or alive, what Destiny thinks about his most recent ADHD diagnosis, his reaction to the internet chiming in on his divorce and much more. I always enjoy speaking to Destiny. He's got interesting insights. He's a guy who is ardently from the left and very reasonable and prepared to debate and understands his positions. And you don't need to agree with all of the things that he says, but the fact that he has got a very well thought out base and foundation about why he thinks those things, I think is quite admirable. And it is always good to hear different perspectives. Don't forget that you might be listening but not subscribed and that means you will miss episodes when they go up. The next few weeks have got an insane lineup of guests, including a world first for both Modern Wisdom and I think the entirety of podcasting. And I'm very excited to tell you more about that. But the only way that you can ensure you won't miss them is by hitting subscribe. Plus it supports the show and it makes me very happy indeed. So go and press follow on Spotify or subscribe on Apple podcasts. I thank you. Honestly, the difference in the quality of your life when you have a world class backpack is pretty hard to describe. Nomatic make the most functional, durable and innovative backpacks, bags, luggage and accessories that I've ever used. their 20 litre travel pack and carry on classic are absolute game changers. The amount of thought that they've put into every pouch and zipper is incredible. They're beautifully designed and not over-engineered and will literally last you a lifetime because they've got a lifetime guarantee. So if it breaks at any point, they'll give you a new one. They also offer free shipping on orders over $49 in the contiguous United States.

And it is the only wearable I have ever stuck with because it's the best. It is so innocuous. You do not remember that you've got it on. And yet it tracks absolutely everything 24-7 via something from your wrist. It tracks your heart rate, it tracks your sleep, your recovery, all of your workouts, your resting heart rate, your heart rate variability, how much you're breathing throughout the night. It puts all of this into an app and spits out very simple, easy to understand and fantastically usable data. It's phenomenal. I am a massive, massive fan of Whoop. And that is why it's the only wearable that I've ever stuck with. You can join for free, pay nothing for the brand new Whoop 4 strap, plus you get your first month for free and there's a 30 day money back guarantee. So you can buy it for free, try it for free. And if you do not like it after 29 days, they will give you your money back. Head to join.whoop.com/modernwisdom. That's join.whoop.com/modernwisdom.

Well, it was like a live segment from this morning, sure.

**Chris Williamson** (3:59)
Okay, yeah, how was that? Is that the first time you've spoken to him?

**Destiny** (4:01)
Yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (4:01)
All right, what did you think?

**Destiny** (4:03)
It was okay. It could have been way worse. It could have been way better. They brought me in, it was a segment on like, the differences between like Trump and Biden and their senility. Basically, is Biden's senility gonna be a huge problem? And my opposite person is like Tommy Lauren, and it's a very much like mainstream media opinion, or mainstream media appearance. So it's like, give me your like 30 second splurge, give me your 30 second splurge, and the next question. And I hate that back and forth like drives me crazy.
