Livestreamed Conversation - The value of a man with Yetineti

[LordFall]

@yetineti takes me up on my offer to have a live streamed conversation on our disagreements about what makes a man valuable. 

It'll be streamed live this Sunday 8 pm EST on my Youtube channel. 

Feel free to come up with questions for us to answer and we'll address them on air.

I need you two to hug at the end

😂

This should be very fun.

I'll try and think of some questions

[yetineti]

Let’s be clear on the topic at hand. The debate is not generically on what makes a man valuable. You gave me the option to pick the topic.

We will be debating whether or not I have any worth as a man.

Let’s not shy away before it’s already happened.

Will tune into this!

[LordFall]

@yetineti Even better.

@LordFall

Then let’s be absolutely clear about what you just agreed to.

I said nobody would talk to me like this in person, so you challenged me and let me choose the topic. I chose whether I have any worth as a man.

You then broadened it into “what makes a man valuable.” I corrected the topic, and you responded, “Even better.”

I don’t have to challenge your definition of value or argue that mine is better. I only have to demonstrate one form of value that you already recognize, using your own standards. You now have to prove that my life, relationships, actions, abilities, and potential contribute absolutely nothing of value.

That’s the almost impossible, and a genuinely dehumanizing, position you just enthusiastically volunteered to defend.

This is gold.

[yetineti]

You trapped yourself.

[yetineti]

You owe the world 10x value for the next year for wasting all of our time.

[LordFall]

I don't think you understand how arguments work so I'll give you a hint.

Low value does not mean absolute zero; it means failing to meet the baseline standards of competence, agency, and leadership that define a high-impact man. A penny has value, but you can't buy dinner with it.

If your strategy is gonna be to prove to us that you're worth at least a penny then I think indeed you will manage to do that. If that satisfies you in terms of your own existence then I will say you've already lost long before we ever exchanged a single word.
