I am NOT watching 13 minutes of a YouTube video. Can you please put this into your own words for a useful 'discussion'?

Perhaps I can save you time and data. The discussion is philosophical in the sense that it will not help you decide between a Chevrolet Equinox and a Pontiac Solstice. It observes that Buddhism is often more fatalistic than Hinduism, which you probably already knew. Hinduism accepts the existence of forces, conditions or entities that do not change.

The speaker says that some people try to reconcile the difference by variously interpreting scriptures.

My own opinion of Buddhism is that it can help people escape the confusion of semantics, otherwise it is not helpful.

Wow, thanks Erjenious.

Now let me see what I get out of your comment on the OP.

1. I am not buying a car. ( though a new Mazda CX5 would be nice...maybe next year)
2. How is Buddhism seen as more fatalistic than Hinduism. What is the mechanism or pertinent philosophical point involved in this conclusion?
3. What forces are these in Hinduism?
4. Which scriptures?
5. What on earth does your last sentence even mean? What has semantics peculiarly to do with Buddhism and why is something so unimportant so relevant in your personal opinion?

.. and MOST importantly

6. Why is what this person says on YouTube important, authoritative or worth watching? From what you have said it seems I saved my time.
