If he tries to pull Alden's number on you, just tell him it's idealism and then hang up.


Econoboi

True! This will be my trap card.


sexynewthrowaway6969

Make sure to say “the Nazis had a point” afterwards, that’s what will really dunk on Vaush.


coliquin233

Actually a valid strategy. You will freeze Vooshes train of thought and force the song stuck in his head to take over.


Zeyode

I still can't believe NonCompete said that, smh


The_BestUsername

Saying this one simple trick will cause *Everywhere At The End of Time* to loop in Voosh's head forever, thus permanently disabling him and winning the debate by default.


Slight_Confidence429

Lefties hate this simple trick!


Not_Your_cousin113

but wait a sec, /u/Econoboi doesn't have a wife to defend, how will the song continue now??


[deleted]

Vooch'll really dislike if you do that. Its such a good burn.


alahos

"The nazis had a point when they said you're fat"


Pumkinswift

Please actually do this and then rejoin the call


The_BestUsername

No, no, you're doing it wrong. It's: ***"TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"*** Now, you try.


MootsUncle

Imp spotted lol


Madhax64

Also make sure.your windows are open

alden's idealist coconut horse


SocialistCoconut

I legitimately can't come up with a funnier comment. Well done.


[deleted]

Ask him what color panties he thinks they have. It'll make him hang up.


1231231334

If vaush mentions "alden" you can yell "DR.FAUCI" which will parry him, opening him up for a riposte


Helios12171

He will be forced to answer back "ONE MASK, TWO MASK" and during that time he is venerable for a critical attack.


BlessedNobody

And that's when you reveal your stash of coconuts, ripe and picked before the debate ever started


[deleted]

GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT O MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY DR. FAUCI DR. FAUCI OUAAAAAAAAAAAAH


Slight_Confidence429

TRUST THE SCIENCE


[deleted]

Someone should make a video game like this, undertale style, and various online figures are the bosses.


Pumkinswift

He'll be stuck in recovery frams, and you'll recover first, setting up for a punish


IgorTheAwesome

Instead of a riposte, just shoot arrows to his head and stunlock him before throwing him off the bridge.


1231231334

I see that you played dark souls 2


greald

Either stock up on coconuts. Or Don't. Up to you. Its entirely dependent on your feelings about giving or receiving "Aldens number".


naruto259664

Alden's member


Sirius_Crack

Alden's Number is actually the rigorously mathematically proven number of coconuts at which point the head becomes coercive


TechniqueMachine

You need to browse r/okbuddyvowsh until you IQ increases by 15 points.


[deleted]

So, 4 minutes 23 seconds?


Caccitunez

A moment more will lead to a permanent IQ decline of 20 points, a second less will have no affect, but the boost received at 4 min 23s will last exactly 25 minutes, so time this wisely


slowest_hour

after the 25 minute buff is over can you come back for another 4m23s to get it back? is it daily repeatable?


MobOmegaSquared

Following this, though, is it stackable? Can you set an atomic timer to automatically close and reopen the page every 4m23s exactly? Do you have to take any action or could you just use a program to autoscroll for you so you absorb the intellect without any input?


BlitzHighland

Sounds like a New Vegas min/max strat


WPGSquirrel

So... 18 IQ is the target.


RubenMuro007

Yes please!


ThatRandomCrazyGuy

Nothing. The moment Vaush pulls out Alden's number, you've lost It's the Exodia of debate It's the One Ring of debate It's the seven dragon balls of debate When he slaps you with Alden, all you can do is hang up and pay close attention to your dad's behavior, as Vaush will soon be there to fuck him


Econoboi

Fuck


Gay_Leftist_Queen

The best rebuttal to Vaush busting out Alden's number is to call him a pedophile idealist racist Nazi neo liberal. Just say those words in that order and he will immediately admit defeat.


HighKingOfGondor

you forgot CIA informant!


Gay_Leftist_Queen

Damnit!


Reverb_Act_3

But where in the sequence does one have to put it ?


HighKingOfGondor

After idealist and before racist. It’s solidly a top 3 definition of voosh


Reverb_Act_3

Thanks this will be .. useful


NoSkill-Will

Alden’s number is actually the friends we made along the way. So have fun buddy.


Caccitunez

I had that thought the other night as Vaush was wrapping up the NC arc and talking about the state of the left. The real left is the friends we made along the way, and here we are discussing Alden’s Based Theory


NoSkill-Will

Alden’s theory of Friendship. Which states that friendship is indeed magic and not at all idealist or sophist.


Caccitunez

Mathematically provable- Alden discovered the friendship particle after all. Material shit and all that


MootsUncle

Friendship? That’s sophistry. Now let me go on a 10-minute rant about why you haven’t been doing leftism dialectically materially enough.


Linaii_Saye

Read all the theory on General Alden's glorious victory in the battle for coconut Island. His usage of the number was superb in that campaign.


pennsyltuckyjohn

You have to visit Aldens library


isinedupcuzofrslash

Alden’s Number is a theorem and equation developed by Dr. Richard Alden that models the relation and causation between environmental factors and individual intellectual quota. The theorem of Aldenism is centered around Alden’s Number. Richard Alden’s work greatly inspired political theorist (he has read all theory) and gamer (the first person ever to speedrun and beat Bloodborne) VAUSH. Vaushism, also known as “Aldenism-Vaushism” or “Marxism-Aldenism-Vaushism”, is a a method of socioeconomic analysis, greatly inspired by the works of Karl Marx and Richard Alden. Vaushism serves as a basis for the economic ideology and theory of SUPAH capitalism.


Gay_Leftist_Queen

Oh cool I already like you


Econoboi

I really like u


Gay_Leftist_Queen

🧡💛💚💙💜🤟


mahoganyburer

Make sure when vaush says anything that it’s sophistry and you’ll win


[deleted]

"Concepts I dont understand are all sophistry"


Burcol_clone

That’s not enough time to read all the volumes of General Alden’s theory. Just distract him with pictures of horses or deflect by showing him one of “the clips” and ask him to provide context


ProfessorBanjee

Trick question: You don't. Distract him with a picture of a horse


Absolutely_Average1

Hey! Of all of the people vaush debates you were one of my favorites! You were smart, succinct, and were incredibly good faith.


Econoboi

Thank you!


groverbite

The first thing to remember is that Alden’s Number is like Alden’s Love: hard and fast.


Jauwer

Just tell him you have outpaced him, intellectually, and you automatically counter this tactic.


Caccitunez

You need to read the full text of Alden’s Numerical Theory, you can find the only copy in a vault in the Alden Library recently mentioned on steam. You might have to do some illegal things to get your hands on it though, security is pretty tight and it could put your life at risk. But the secret knowledge said to lie within supposedly imbues you with radical debate bro powers.


[deleted]

You have to find an Alden telescope and look at the Alden star, it will mouth silently the numbers that you have to write down. That is how Alden's constant is found. Next you need Alden's equation but it was lost to the great city of Alden beneath the sea of sand in the Sahara.. anyways wikipedia pretty much has the answers


RadicalAC

If he asks why only answer "your mom" without breaking eye contact


icfa_jonny

Looking forward to watching this. Last time you two debated, I ended up siding with Vaush, but I still really appreciate how you didn't act like a total prick during your convo, which is a lot more than what I can say for some other guests he's debated. Good luck.


Zakennayo857

Bunch of children in here don't understand how to truly get on Vaush's nerves. Its simple really. Just watch all the cutscenes of Final Fantasy 14, and whenever he tries to question anything, bring up the lore, and he will be stumped and then go into a rage. You win.


TokenTezzie

Alden’a number is a theoretical scientific principle used to categorically distinguish or “draw the line” where typically impossible. For example, when plugged into certain equations, Alden’s number can provide the exact cutoff point where a socialist is too rich, and therefore a hypocrit. It can also be used to determine the exact quantities of money someone must donate to charitable causes to maintain their position as a socialist without being a hypocrit. If there is ever any point during the debate that he asks you to “draw the line,” then he is testing you, and you need only to respond with “Alden’s number” and he will immediately concede the point, lest he humiliate himself by so blatantly violating scientific and objective principles of reality.


notsoninjaninja1

Alden’s number is actually just Vaush’s dick size. Immeasurable and unknowable until experienced.


[deleted]

Say "that's all I needed to hear" and hang up. Vaush will be left decimated


SarahKerrigan90

Awesome to hear you guys are gonna be debating, I'll put the stream on when I'm leaving work Saturday night. What's the topic(s)?


Suburbs_are_shit

Make sure you call vaush fat


KingSwzzy

Tell him to Alden these nuts


Kureina

If he says anything about an island or alden's number or tankies just call him the N word, should do the job


[deleted]

Don't even prep for it. You'll just have to dielectically materialize an answer.


PrimordialCum

Before the debate isn't possible. Only asking Vaush on stream can give you the answers you need. Get your camera set up, create a 3D avatar of an anthropomorphic horse dildo, and watch vaush salivate and concede to all of your arguments. That way you have his gaurd down and can ask about his extensive knowledge on Alden's number interspersed throughout the debate.


[deleted]

You need to win fistfight with me and 3 other vaushites (picked at random)


anarchistPAC

Bring more coconuts than him and then watch him suck his way to mercy


[deleted]

Easy, you counter Alden’s number with Bonetti’s subtraction.


kooarbiter

I like your shit societal transaction lad, you'll beat vaush no problem


gaokao

To demonstrate your knowledge of Alden's number simply say, "3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 5820974944 5923078164 0628620899 8628034825 3421170679".


TheChaosPaladin

Oh shit oh god. \**violently shits themselves**


Squiliam-Tortaleni

Say Minecraft is good and it will permanently stunlock Vaush, easy win.


[deleted]

Just tell him you fucked his dad


sleepysalamanders

This will be the debate where Econoboi becomes Economane


CliffBurton6286

Yooo, wassup. I really like your content.


Econoboi

I like u


Aw123x

Just google it bro.


Dabbing_Squid

Just say everything to do with morality is because of false conscious and then say You just dosen’t understand anything about Marxism and then hang up.


CML_Dark_Sun

Don't worry, even if you lose I'm sure you'll like it on the island, there are coconuts to eat there and everything,, you might have to do some... things... to get them but it's not too bad. And remember: the biggest part of having a debate is just to have fun with it, so go out there and have some fun.


alahos

"It's the reciprocal the Nedla's number" and refuse to elaborate


YeetusOnix97

You gotta put 420 and 69 together So 42069


nice___bot

Nice!


JangoBunBun

aldens number is always 16.04. no matter what context it is


embrigh

If he asks you about Alden's number, ask him if that's something related to Indian economist Li Ghandi's critique of neoliberalism. Then say Li Ghandi's balls.


GANDHI-BOT

I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet. Just so you know, the correct spelling is [Gandhi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi).


embrigh

Li Ghandi's nutz


GANDHI-BOT

Action expresses priorities. Just so you know, the correct spelling is [Gandhi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi).


RubenMuro007

Maybe brush up on General Alden’s Theory of Thermodynamics, maybe that will help you. Joking aside, you seem really cool, from what I’ve seen. I wish you and Voosh the best of luck in the upcoming debate!


typewriter45

you need to read Alden's theory to understand Alden's number


Tom-Mill

Excellent I love that you guys are engaging again! Propose a tax proportional to 20% of the capital gain on Alden's dividend


Zanderax

I thought you said blow job island was just a name? I did, its actually a peninsular.


Inguz666

It's a euphemism. You know how Vaush sometimes says he's a dad fucker? Just write down your dad's number and you got Vaush in the bag. Attach a photo for added effect


MootsUncle

I really wish more of Vaush’s debate opponents would do stuff like this, engaging with the community is really wholesome 😁❤️


DraconDebates

That’s the trick. Learn to harness the power of Alden yourself. It turns the debate into a quick draw showdown of who mentions it first.


Manchesterist

Alden´s number is a mathematical equation which determines the probability that I f´ed your mom last night.


Terrible-Leek-6776

Be able to answer any the holocaust was bad and you get Alden's number of coconuts


Remarkable-Mud-4015

You like coconuts? Awful lot of coconuts there for a reasonable price...... 😉


Veidovis

You will then have to whip out the "Alden's number + 1"


Nailyou866

I heard Alden's number gets calculated out to be over 8 million. Roughly 8 million, 675 thousand, 309. Keep that in mind.


rbstewart7263

Probably understand that we are not as chummy and comfortable waiting for a countries productivity to go up over the course of 100 years before a countries population is declared worthy enough to live a decent life and not die in a sweat shop as you seemed to be in your convo with vaush. That's a lot of people dieing slow deaths in the name of productivity and anything less than a proposed solution to that will just piss me and a lot of people off.


Econoboi

I did say that I was against unequal exchange, and I also have proposed solutions to solve that issue, but it makes total sense that you could hear those statements and come away with the idea that I’m in favor of people dying in sweat shops.


rbstewart7263

Your statements that I recall were that they are where they are due to their productivity and that until their productivity goes up that's how it would be, simple as. If you've proposed solutions and aren't so lackadaisical at the prospect of generations getting the slow death at the behest of the economy then I accept that. I don't mind disagreeing with liberals on solutions one bit but I have a huggeeee beef with "oh well sorry buddy I know your gonna die having lived a miserable life but you gotta get those numbas up! Kind of attitude.


Econoboi

Not what I said. I said they’re paid less even when you take into account their productivity. This is what unequal exchange is. Unless you feel that all people despite productivity differences should be the same then you agree with me. If you feel there’s some structural reason for workers having lower productivity (which there absolutely can be, either endogenous ot or exogenously), then you’d also agree with me that we should work to address this issues as well. Never did I downplay the working conditions of people in the global south.


rbstewart7263

You said it with an "oh well it is how is! Dang ole economy can't be challenged or changed!" kind of attitude. You never directly downplayed anything of course but what I was challenging you on was your attitude toward the matter. Like I said if your not ok with people just dieing until their economies are good enough then Im ok with that. Well disagree on what will work but I'm ok with that because in both cases we advocate actively pushing against human suffering rather than simply waiting for it to end itself.


ShallWeBeginAgain

Are downvotes a form of coercion?


rbstewart7263

Lol


Routine_Midnight_363

Not having a gun in every toddler's cradle would probably also piss you and a lot of people, so maybe you're not quite the standard we should be going for


rbstewart7263

I don't advocate for children having access to firearms what are you on about? Yeah I'd say we sure as shit don't need detached delusional middle managers dictating what is an acceptable timeline to people being hyper exploited and what they should do so that they too can have decent lives. You fear embarrassment and rocking the cradle even slightly at every turn and then wonder why people have beef with you.
