WORLD BATTLE: TJ vs Scotty

Scotty 1 TJ 0

Anthony Jimenez

This episode was a lot of blathering about high level concepts that these stoners can’t grasp at all

Matthew Jury

Liked for TJ's draconian outrage.

Krista Vaillancourt

TJ won in my mind. Throw people in the mix with Scotty's nation, and it's far too easy for corruption to take place. If you're constantly researching why people make certain decisions, you'll find the answer. Now what does somebody DO with that information? Wouldn't they propagandize anyone and everyone to tow their line, wherever possible? Basically, it's just, "Why do people do 'x', and how can we change them?"

Justin Wallingford

Tj wins by default, Scottie’s was just platitudes and lots of words with no real ways to get there or clearly defined Realities in his society other than “re-education” for everyone that got what he considered the proper psychology profile

Tendercut

Scotty's going far the "cultural" victory, Tj might have a chance at a domination victory but he'd probably lose.

The True Nihilist

Birds show signs of culture. So do elephants and orangatangs. Some species of birds and elephants make graves, crows pass memories of the faces that capture them from generation to generation, other bird species make giant dowaries that rival human art and sculptures, orangatangs pass the knowledge of making tools to the next generation, elephants pass the knowledge of water holes to the next generation, ect. Also currently half - way done with the video and Scotty already won.

The True Nihilist

Hmmm, I guess Scotty's vision is marginally better than TJ's, but ultimately I disagree with both philosophical foundations. Neither freedom nor empathy are the best founding principle for a society. I'd always advocate for the UNIMPEACHABLE HUMAN DIGNITY to be the core idea, everything is based on.

Phantomology

Scottys world sounds like a research based safe space where everyone is sensitive and you never tread any topic that might be a little dark whereas TJ’s is about any and all discussion with little regard for feelings but mutual agreement that regardless of differences its only an opinion. In TJ’s world if you cant create change by convincing enough people then your idea doesnt stand up so you should move on whereas scotty is investigating the reason behind these opinions and trying to find the causation first rather than the result. Both have flaws but TJ’s would be much less of a nanny state. Ps easily my favourite episode.

Jetexpress

TJ and Scotty's ideal societies are both horrible, dystopian hellscapes.

WileyBoxx

We all know Paul's ideal society. Nuclear winter.

WileyBoxx

I think Paul wins for creating such an epic versus episode. Bonus for wearing the shit out of those prime-pimp sunglasses

Brandon Lee

Poopy!

WileyBoxx

Retard

David Finch

It's pretty disgusting how Paul kept misrepresenting everything that TJ was saying, while handling Scotty with kiddie gloves and pitching him one softball after another. I'd be very disappointed in Paul's handling of the episode if I still had any respect for him, but I realized long time ago that he's an intellectual degenerate.

Maya Balsich

You're both a mixed bag. I think I'd rather see you two try to actually work together. I don't think I see either proposed world as definitively better than the other. Both would probably be an improvement upon our current society.

Sev Obzen

Scotty giving me Super high tech VR? Scotty wins for me

Wilikers

I was with scotty until TJ brought up that I can be the lazy piece of shit I was always meant to be. Not having to contribute anything to society. TJ wins.

Dan Childers

I’m so ready for Scotty’s fascist utopia. Hail Scotty, long live the emperor!

Y'know, I kinda like the "debate paradise" idea for the entertainment portion. But y'know what would make it more likable to the masses? Instead of just two talking heads going at it, it should be like, "Matt Dillahunty vs. Dinesh D'Souza FULLY RAW!" and they just tackle religious arguments completely naked since nudity on TV would be normalized. Whoever loses (according to a public polling at the time of viewing) can never put clothes on again and has to show their teeny peeny wherever they go. Now, when I weigh both options as a whole, I decided I would prefer to hit the eject button and launch myself onto Mars where I will live out the rest of my day (yes, singular) alone on a cold, alien planet bombarded by radiation until I turn into a pile of carbon sludge and flake off to become part of Mars' barely-existent atmosphere. Only then may I achieve the only dream I could possibly have in a society like Scotty and TJ would want me to live in which is to freeze and become part of Elon Musk's new Mars Polar Ice Cap Ice Cubes. I find being in a glass of water, sipped by some oppressed Earthling, far more preferable to living in either society.

deviant stepchild

Both of your societies are authoritarian and I wouldn't want to live in either. You both sounded like modern american politicians trying to swindle the populous into believing that everything would be so perfect under their regime. Neither are worth claiming for residency

Cambleman

Neither.

Jacob Goodyear

Tjland

Javier Gonzalez

They both make fair points, but I think Scotty's world would be better to live in.

Panda

Scotty won as soon as TJ basically said that art wouldn't be valued in his society. Other than that I had them sort of tied, but scotty knows how important art is so a society being livable so Paul was correct.

Patrick Lively

Both of them are great honestly but I'd err on the side of TJ

Jimmy Crafton

I too have determined to withdraw my patronage following Paul’s performance on a recent stream in which he placed Sonic in the B tier of a fast food list. He explained that this placing was knowingly inflated in order to reflect the high quality of their drinks, entirely in spite of their food which he described himself as being substandard. He should look at each establishment HOLISTICALLY while compiling these lists and should not discriminate on the basis of a single consideration deemed marginal by many.

Jean the Baptiste

TJ-land all the way!

Violin Vertigo

The True Nihilist

This was a really good episode of dff. Glad I spend the $5

Cambleman

Looks like I'd get banished from TJ-land and A Clockwork Orange'd in Scottypia. So I choose TJ-land.

Ishaan govardhan

Scotty's pitch is filled with platitudes and very rarely did he lay down any practical solutions or implementations. It was mostly "we'll study this and we'll talk to people", and everything is "as much as possible". If we took a shot of vodka every time Scotty said As much as possible, we'd be blacked out half way through the presentation. TJ's pitch has more practical solutions and clear vision and robust answers to the questions posed. Paul the arbiter, misrepresented TJ's policy of dealing with people who break Tijonia's cardinal and possibly only rule, i.e. resorting to violence, where TJ will quash them or deal with them without mercy. See, you have only one rule which is Do No Harm, and if everything is provided for you to have a decent life, and all freedoms are guaranteed, anyone who resorts to violence under these circumstances is obviously a nutjob and liability on the society, and no matter how you try to "study them" as Scotty proposed, you will end up most likely woth one conclusion, that they are a sociopath... Also Scotty didn't offer any solution whatsoever to the question of How will you deal with those who break society's rules or resort to violence... "We'll study them" isn't an answer... and Paul let it pass... which is an indication of flawed arbitration. While TJ offered harsh but clear practical solutions. Which aren't really harsh, given that there is no reason to resort to violence when all your basic rights and needs and freedoms are provided and if you have any opposing views, Tijonia offers ample room for debate and discussion and abiding by the will of the people. And I think Paul was solely sold on Scotty's Entertainment pitch. Which is a cool pitch. But honestly, that isn't the job of the leader of a society to propose how Entertainment goes in their society. It is a great idea that can be implemented in any of those two competing societies. So Scotty can win on best entertainment pitch, but has nothing to do with which society is better. Comrades, I invite you all to join TIJONIA, where leadership has a clear vision, and is there only to ensure your freedom and rights to live in dignity, with minimal intervention. And is there to swiftly deal with any sociopaths who exist only to do harm to others for no reason. Stay away from Scottistan, where they only sell you platitudes in order to trick you into growing your own tomatoes and milk your own cow, so the lazy government takes no responsibility and does nothing other than "Study as much as possible"...

Both society's would be great providing the populace lived under constant threat of invading cyberneticly enhanced space Vikings called the Scjorn culling and harvesting limbs and organs to further their longevity.

TJ “prison is bad, but let’s gas the violent” Kirk

Rants n rambles

I kinda want them to go back to the old intro occasionally I was a big fan of the aggressive Japanese sounding "Deep Fat Fried"

Eco Thunderbolt

FREEDOMLAND; TJonia!!!

nihilgeist

Very close indeed. I, Señor Tomat, have trouble deciding the victor. How I see it is, Scotty's society sounds better, but TJ's is probably more practical. Before I make my proclamation, let me first acknowledge the fact that TJ's society was criticized more than Scotty's society. With a narrow lead, Scotty's society seems preferable to a tomat such as myself. Discussion and empathy would be a great thing to have more of. As a tomat my brothers and sisters of the vine are constantly looking out for their lives. Some heartless people will actually EAT TOMATINOES! I think Scotty's society will create a better understanding of human interest, along with Tomat interests as well.

Lord of Duck

Scotty calls Tj authoritarian but wants mandatory psychological profiling. Paul challenged TJ more then Scotty did (with better arguments). RoboScotty would rule like a "caretaker" AI.

Ivan Peeters

Tj's all the way.

Damnit. I thought I was rid of the worst theme song of all time... but its back again!

I got scammed by three neckbeards

I must admit, I didn't like this episode at first, but you guys really did a good job presenting arguments for what an ideal society should look like.

Jason

Honestly I'll go with TJ just solely on his new voting arguments, because I would rather have a leader who had a previous history and thought process of trying to make the system better despite endless pitfalls when they weren't the creator of the society I'd live in.

Ian Butler

If I gotta pick I guess I'll go with TJ.

Logan day

....... And the dominant Kirk is ...... Taylor 😂😂. Interesting episode. 🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤘

Scotty B

I’m with Scotty as well

Bo Prince

Why would anyone do the manual labor for upkeep to a society infrastructure if you can be paid for hobbies basically. Who would be responsible for work places deaths/injuries during construction. Would families be able to sue for damages? If so, could someone's family also sue for dying while doing something like being solo jet ski stunt man?

Bo Prince

T to the J

Niv Geffen B.

Call Merica, Fuck Ya!

Bo Prince

Why the hell for the entertainment section didn’t TJ just post up cameras in Anarchyland and record the goings on there. You could even edit it in a way for it to be propaganda on why that world is bad

Mecha

Scottyland all the way, I actually felt a little inspired listening to him, that kind of community focus with heavy backing behind the arts, science, and research is my kind of shit, feels like a society you could actually contribute to in a meaningful way. Plus that community/personal garden in your smart eco home where at any point in time you can plus yourself into some kind of insane VR world sounds like paradise to me

Mecha

You mean Tywin Lannister?

I choose Scotty's world. From the sound of it, it would be the one to make real progress, even if its kinda hivemindy. Tj's would be way, way too much pointless philosophical debates. Now don't get me wrong, that could be fun for a bit. ultimately Tj's society sounds rudderless, and wouldn't have much staying power.

Jaccob Fillpot

Paul wins..!!

TJ's society is the one that makes the most sense. Dont hurt each other. If you want to harm other people fuck you ZyklonT!

LMAO tj did scotty zero justice in this thumbnail

Hassan Sabree

If youre gonna make me choose between scotty’s reeducation camp and TJ’s anarchy dome, i pick the anarchy dome

Dallas

Scotty is a libtard. TJ IS THE WINNER

Dallas

TJ definitely has the better and more practical society, but if you took the rehabilitation and entertainment aspects of Scotties society, and combined it with TJs, it would be much better.

Dillon Childrey

If this dff has taught me anything, #Astroid2020 please!

when will the scammed again comments stop. i feel like even after TJ dies these boring memesters will still be posting that shit.
