i'll go first. sit down with a pen and paper and study how not to be like this person:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE-ABnIQZaA

If you start basing your personality on the fact that you read books instead of being someone who seeks to understand through books, it's giga-over for you. If you're prideful on top of that, it'll just send you down a severe and hellish path.

You can swerve and avoid being this guy. Please do so.

the guy Destiny is debating seems like he has read a lot but he hasn't actually absorbed what he read.

Destiny is alright, but I wish he wasn't such a massive news consoooomer. I don't think every piece of mainstream news is false, but just following the "official" line on every single story is pretty cucked. I wish he gave the news the same level of scrutiny as he gives the people he debates. He puts too much faith in our 3 letter orgs.

Destiny's problem is that his morals rest on faulty foundations. It's untenably individualistic. This is hardly a novel situation, but the problem arises from his failure to recognize it. I don't know if his uncritical acceptance of moral utilitarianism rests on a post hoc justification for his hedonistic lifestyle or his cold and mechanical outlook on life and especially social interactions (I remember he once stated that every person was "like him" in that they see relationships only in terms of what they can gain from the other person), but it amazes me that he fails to address it. Perhaps one led to the other.

This is obviously an easy translation from the economic sphere, where Destiny started, so his failure to recognize its limitations is especially surprising. Man is not a calculating self-interested economic animal. Furthermore, considering Destiny's state as a cuckold and his abandonment of his child to essentially play video games 12 hours a day (despite his defense that he is well taken care of financially which misses the point entirely), it is obvious that it is not desirable that man should be.

Destiny himself will realize this soon enough if he hasn't already. He has already wrestled at least one or twice with the notion that his grand philosophy of life totally falls short in its ability to provide or facilitate a greater purpose beyond mere individual preference of consumption. You also see this indirectly in his rehabilitation of religion. To butcher Tocqueville, "he thinks he acts in his interest but he does not. In looking after his business he neglects his chief business which is to remain his own master."

Destiny's obviously very intelligent, more so than myself, but he reminds me of some guy I found on goodreads a while ago while I was looking for criticisms of After Virtue. This guy launched an absolutely vicious and very fair dissection of MacIntyre's argument in a way that was very admirable (as someone who would prefer MacIntyre's argument not so easily susceptible to criticism). The next thing I found was his four or five star review of White Fragility, wherein he attributes DiAngelo with a basically airtight argument.
