Mimetic desire, scapegoating: if you've been hearing these terms thrown around lately, it's because the French Catholic philosopher René Girard (1923-2015) is having a renaissance, with powerful people like J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel citing his influence on their thought. Trevor Cribben Merrill, producer of the new documentary Things Hidden: The Life and Legacy of René Girard, joins the podcast to discuss Girard's principal ideas, and reflect on aspects of his thought which seem difficult to reconcile with Catholic doctrine.

Dr. Chris Rhodes is a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from UC Davis, and a Nutrition, Biohacking, and Longevity expert who has spent his research career unraveling the mysteries behind intermittent fasting and its incredible ability to optimize health and extend lifespan. During his 8 years of clinical research into prolonged fasting, Dr. Rhodes uncovered that a 36 hour fast was able to greatly enhance the biological function of the human body, taking already young healthy people and optimizing their cellular performance, recovery, and protective systems. Dr. Rhodes discovered that these effects were due to a unique set of molecules that are produced in the body only during long periods of fasting and that these “fasting metabolites” could be used to recreate the beneficial effects of fasting without actually needing to fast. To share this breakthrough with the world, Dr. Rhodes co-founded Mimio Health, a biotech company creating first-of-their-kind biomimetic supplements designed from human biology to optimize health, slow aging, and enhance longevity.Website: https://mimiohealth.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrishrhodes/360 Age Reversal: https://www.360agereversalprogram.com/Connect:Dr. Trip Goolsby & LeNae Goolsby are the co-founders of the Infinite Health Integrative Medicine Center, and are also the co-authors of the book “Think and Live Longer”.

Chris Duffin sits down with expert guest Anthony Castor to delve deep into the fascinating world of insulin mimetics, glucose metabolism, and their implications for overall health and aging. The conversation kicks off with an examination of metformin's widespread use in diabetes management and its controversial potential benefits in cancer prevention, as highlighted in a recent study that casts doubt on its anti-cancer efficacy. Anthony and Chris explore the intricacies of balancing key cellular pathways—AMPK and mTOR—and their roles in muscle metabolism and aging. They discuss how the AMPK pathway acts as a guardian of energy preservation in the cell, especially under conditions of low nutrient availability, while mTOR is pivotal for muscle protein synthesis and energy expenditure. They also touch upon the impact of gut microbiome shifts on insulin sensitivity and how products like berberine and metformin can influence these pathways, sometimes to the detriment of muscle mass gain. Metformin and Gut Microbiome Positive impacts of metformin on gut microbiome GI disturbances related to insulin mimetics Role of AMPK signaling in energy preservation and muscle protein synthesis Benefits of products like berberine, banaba leaf extract, and alpha lipoic acid Hormonal support and muscle mass considerations   This episode of the ARCHITECT of RESILIENCE podcast is available on Apple, Spotify & YouTube, and is sponsored by  @marekhealth : Performance.

Mimetic desire is what makes us human, and what prevents us from seeing others are connected to us. How does Jesus model the way out of this mimetic trap and what can we learn about changing ourselves to change our world?

Many people think that Christianity is merely about where you go after you die. But did you know that the New Testament is deeply political? Check out this episode of One Question as Pastor Adam and Dr. Lyle Enright discuss politics, theology, and mimetic theory. Lyle Enright is the Research Director of unRival Network. His blog on Substack is Religion is for Losers. A recent article by Lyle is "René Girard, J. D. Vance, and You".

I have been highly influenced by mimetic theory to understand how the Bible reveals the nonviolence of God and the human tendency to scapegoat. Tragically, major politicians have started using mimetic theory as a tool for doing precisely what mimetic theory warns us not to do - scapegoat others. In this episode to begin season 5, I talk about reclaiming Christianity and mimetic theory. I hope you enjoy it!

Atonement Theories are foundational to any denomination or faith group ‘statements of faith'.  MOST believers have no idea what they mean or how they were developed.  Most of us were given a very simple description of what they meant and you need to agree and believe it if you want to remain a part of ‘our fellowship'.  No room to question anything.  Well, here on ‘Still Growing In Grace', we question everything and search for a more ‘hope-filled perspective'.  Enjoy this mini series as we explore a better perspective of who God is and how that affects how we love others!!     Watch Today's Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/nWE9Davq6_E    Or listen to the audio podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/still-growing-in-grace     Donate today and help keep this going:   In CANADA:  https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XHQ9UTBPTKDPW   In the USA: https://eschurch.com/donate - check the ‘GROWING IN GRACE' box     FOR MORE TOPICS & CONTENT, TUNE IN HERE:   Michael Zenker's Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MichaelZenker Weekly Blog: https://mikezenker.blog/     Still Growing In Grace YouTube Playlist:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKfv-9uArQHIzcebDIyS8F3nj2MF_FV-H FACEBOOK page: https://www.facebook.com/growingingraceministriescanada   Web: Growing In Grace www.growingingrace.ca Spotify:   https://open.spotify.com/show/6AvFWO7epyVeIuNf5WHFRD Grace Awakening Network weekly Program 9:30pm EST: https://www.gantv.com/ GAN ‘On Demand': https://watch.gantv.com/categories/102/still-growing-in-grace   Guest Info And Links Richard Murray: https://thegoodnessofgod.com/ Parking Lot Theology with Richard Murray: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKfv-9uArQHKCXZQPsLeEVYe-bt4YN5lj Bill Thrasher: https://www.facebook.com/groups/444411502587439 Fred Young: https://eschurch.com/ Randy Elstrott: https://www.randyelstrott.com/ Mike Zenker: www.hopefellowshipycc.com

The Story of Abraham: Part 8, A Mimetic Life   Teaching Text: Romans 4:13-25 Preached by Paul Khochay

A lot of my current listeners may have missed this previous episode with guest, Luke Burgis (and even if you did hear the original, it's a great one to re-listen to as you understand how mimetic desire may appear in your life!) Once you learn about mimetic desire, you realize how much it has impacted your life, how much it is all around us and how to begin to set yourself apart... Mimetic desire — the act of desiring simply what others desire – imitating what others want instead of developing our own intentional, conscious wanting – is powerful in our development, our world and in our everyday lives. Today's guest, author Luke Burgis, shares his expertise about this concept, how society influences mimetic desire, how we can determine what we truly desire, the impact we can have on the desires of those around us and more! ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Resource: Motivational Code Connect with Luke: Website Instagram Substack Book: Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire Episode Sponsors | The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors.

If you're always imitating others or aspiring to be something else, what's left of the "authentic" you? According to the French philosopher René Girard, not much: Nothing can be truly authentic, he argued--everything comes from somewhere else. This is just one of the many original and counterintuitive claims put forth in Girard's sweeping approach to human history. He argues it is sameness, not our difference that leads to conflict, and he sees religion as a way to contain the chaos as opposed to its first cause. Listen as Stanford University scholar Cynthia Haven speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about Girard's theories of desire and violence. The conversation also includes a discussion of the power of forgiveness to put a stop to conflict's rinse-and-repeat.

This week Dr. Andre Rabe joins the podcast to discuss his latest book, "Processing Mimetic Reality: Harmonizing Alfred North Whitehead and Rene Girard". What, if anything, does Process Philosophy have in common with Mimetic theory? Rabe seeks to answer this question, not by collapsing the two schools of thought into one, but rather seeking to harmonize them. Dr. Rabe demonstrates that deep, broad, and significant harmonies exist between process philosophy and mimetic theory. Girard enriches Whitehead through exemplification, and Whitehead enriches Girard through an expansion of the overall narrative and deeper ontological insights into the processes that made us human. The result is an illuminating unveiling of the biases we developed in becoming human and a proposal for how we may access the more creative and beneficial aspects of desire that lie latent within these processes. I really enjoyed this conversation and even got emotional at the end! Enjoy.

This week on Snarky Faith, we're thrilled to have Jon Turney, the author of In an engaging blend of literary scholarship and accessible philosophy, Matthew J. Distefano offers readers a fresh perspective on J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved creation, focusing on the unassuming yet profoundly wise Hobbits. Through the application of mimetic theory, the book examines how desires are influenced and shaped by those around us, using Hobbit society as a mirror to our own. Distefano skilfully navigates the intersection of fantasy and reality, prompting us to question the foundations of our social interactions, aspirations, and the very fabric of our communities. With wit and clarity, the book not only pays homage to Tolkien's work but also extends an invitation to adopt a more thoughtful, Hobbit-inspired approach to our lives and relationships. It's an enlightening read that promises to enrich the podcast discussion, offering listeners both a deeper understanding of a literary classic and practical insights into living a more connected, meaningful life.Links for More:More from Matt Distefano: https://www.allsetfree.com/Get Mimetic Theory & Middle-earth: Untangling Desire in Tolkien's Legendarium here: https://amzn.to/3TNnJ8BFeatured Crackpots, Grifters, and Prophets: Hank Kunneman, Greg Locke, and Kent ChristmasBig thanks to these outlets that make the Christian Crazy possible:Right Wing WatchChristian NightmaresFriendly AtheistCome along for the ride as we skewer through life, culture, and spirituality in the face of a changing world.www.SnarkyFaith.com Check out the other fantastic Quoircast partners: The Heretic Happy Hour Podcast, Apostates Anonymous, The Messy Spirituality Podcast, Ideas Digest, The New Evangelicals

Today's episode talks all about Matthew's new book, Mimetic Theory & Middle-earth. We also get into some Christian Nationalism and the now infamous and meme-worthy speech by Sen. Katie Britt.

David joins us in studio today to chat mimetic theory, scapegoating, and René Girard.

All the unforgettable teachings for this retreat are now available to own. The Recipe for Rapture: Why the World Must Now Be Sacrificed: https://bit.ly/recipe-rapture   Description: This explanation of Rene Girard's model of social functioning, based on the ego's uncertainty about what it wants, brings new clarity to our personal difficulties and those in the realm of macropolitics. The discourse describes the chain of effects brought about by coveting the attributes or possessions of a chosen other. These cascade from envy to imitation, to rivalry, and to some level of symptomatic violence. We must become free of scapegoating and being victimized, as well as from all rescue fantasies. There is an easy way out.

Here, he finds a scene between the Roman emperor Trajan and a sorrowing mother who demands justice.Demands it so much, in fact, that she and Trajan have a dramatized conversation, although they're carved into marble. Eagles soar. Knights tramp the ground. What's Dante up to?Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we watch Dante the poet push the claims of realism to the breaking point to end at the moral crux of all of PURGATORIO: How do you balance justice and compassion?Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:14] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto X, lines 70 - 93. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please go to my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:07] The first major players in the passage: the Roman emperor Trajan and the widow at his horse's bridle.[05:19] The third major player in the passage: Pope Gregory the Great.[07:21] Trajan is named outright, although other reliefs use periphrastic phrasing to identify the characters in the marble. Is that difference important?[10:30] The passage picks up and alters the vendetta thematics from INFERNO.[13:01] The woman at Trajan's horse's bridle seems a middle ground between the submissive Virgin Mary and the haughty Michal: an actionable humility.[15:56] An interpretive question about the difference between history and story (or "istoria" and "storiata," to use Dante's words).[18:53] Mimetic (realistic) art relies on imagined details to bolster and enhance the realism claims.[23:45] The moral crux of Purgatory is the balance between justice and compassion.[25:36] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto X, lines 70 - 93.

During the break between seasons, we go to Gold School. The Gold School sessions are episodes I find myself referring back to and refer to in my keynote speeches and those I work with personally. Each one has given me 'gold' that I've adopted into my world or shared to help others be the best they can be, unlock their great ideas and get their Mojo working.   Luke Burgis, author of 'Wanting', writes about the study of French Polymath Renee Girard, who coined the term mimetic desire. From the theory of memesis, mimetic desire is how we imitate each other. It's about how someone does something, and then within weeks, it's a thing, everyone is doing it, and it's imitated widely. It's why certain tribes dress the same, speak the same, and have the same desires, good or bad. Well, that's memetic desire. I found it a profound learning and one that I share as much as I can in keynotes.   LINKS   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2024 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

EP340 Jonathan Foster On Mimetic Theory by Christopher Fisher

Some of René Girard's notable works on Amazon: Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World – https://amzn.to/3JnU7ca The Scapegoat – https://amzn.to/3UqNrQI Violence and the Sacred – https://amzn.to/3UnPSUg René Girard's entire collection of books – https://amzn.to/3xGHhmx Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase, I may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. __________________________________________________ René Noël Théophile Girard (25 December 1923 – 4 November 2015) was a French polymath, historian, literary critic, and philosopher of social science whose work belongs to the tradition of philosophical anthropology. Girard was the author of nearly thirty books, with his writings spanning many academic domains. Although the reception of his work is different in each of these areas, there is a growing body of secondary literature on his work and his influence on disciplines such as literary criticism, critical theory, anthropology, theology, mythology, sociology, economics, cultural studies, and philosophy. Girard's main contribution to philosophy, and in turn to other disciplines, was in the psychology of desire. Girard claimed that human desire functions imitatively, or mimetically, rather than arising as the spontaneous byproduct of human individuality, as much of theoretical psychology had assumed. Girard proposed that human development proceeds triangularly from a model of desire who indicates some object of desire as desirable by desiring it themselves. We copy this desire for the object of the model and appropriate it as our own, most often without recognizing that the source of this desire comes from another apart from ourselves completing the triangle of mimetic desire. This process of appropriation of desire includes (but is not limited to) identity formation, the transmission of knowledge and social norms, and material aspirations which all have their origin in copying the desires of others who we take, consciously or unconsciously, as models for desire. The second major proposition of the mimetic theory proceeds from considering the consequences of the mimetic nature of desire as it relates to human origins and anthropology. The mimetic nature of desire allows for the anthropological success of human beings through social learning, but is also laden with potential for violent escalation. If the subject desires an object simply because another subject desires it, then their desires are bound to converge on the same objects. If these objects cannot be easily shared (food, mates, territory, prestige and status, etc.), then the subjects are bound to come into mimetically intensifying conflict over these objects. The simplest solution to this problem of violence for early human communities was to polarize blame and hostility onto one member of the group who would be killed and interpreted as the source of conflict and hostility within the group. The transition from the violent conflict of all-against-all would be transformed into the unifying and pacifying violence of all-except-one whose death would reconcile the community together. The victim who was persecuted as the source of disorder would then become venerated as the source of order and meaning for the community and seen as a god. This process of engendering and making possible human community through arbitrary victimization is called, within mimetic theory, the scapegoat mechanism. Eventually the scapegoat mechanism would be exposed within the Biblical texts who categorically reorient the position of the Divinity to be on the side of the victim as opposed to that of the persecuting community.

The Buscemi Family Dentistry is synonymous with biomimetic, biological and airway dental services in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and their corner of the Mitten.Let us break it down: “Bio” refers to the word “life.” “Mimetic” is rooted in the word “mimesis,” which means to “mimic” or “imitate.” So, biomimetic services and techniques are designed to mimic the properties of natural tissues. Therefore, my guest supports this tissue-preserving approach to dentistry by:Conserving as much of the teeth as possible, minimizing the amount of tooth structure that is drilled away during procedures, avoiding root canal therapy and other more extensive dental procedures whenever possible.He emphasizes treatments that restore and retain the natural tooth, rather than the removal and replacement of teeth. https://www.buscemifamilydentistry.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Luke Burgis (ethical entrepreneur, mimetic desire expert) reckons none of us knows what we want. We like to think we are incredibly original creators of our artfully curated lives. But, in fact, we only ever mimic others' desires. Luke's thesis draws on the work of philosopher Rene Girard who coined the term “mimetic desire” and who has become an obsession among Silicon Valley bros. I was keen to find out why Girard's idea has become so hot and asked Luke to join me to put things straight. Luke is a veteran entrepreneur, the entrepreneur-in-residence at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC and the author of Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life, named by the Financial Times as one of the most important business books of 2021. In this chat we cover how the social media pile-on is not so much about difference, why women are so often scapegoats and how Lamborghini cars came about due to a mimetic rivalry with Ferrari (and their bad clutches).Wanting is available to purchase hereYou can follow Luke's writing over on his Substack: Anti-MimeticFollow Luke on InstagramIf you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" pageFor more such conversations subscribe to my Substack newsletter, it's where I interact the most!Get your copy of my book, This One Wild and Precious LifeLet's connect on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

In this thought-provoking episode pulled from Taylor's event this year, in London, we dive deep into the concept of hyper imitation, mimetic desire, and how we can utilize these inherent human traits for personal growth. We also explore the idea of self-influence and how to harness it to create a better future.Recorded June, 2023IF you enjoyed the show please leave us a review to help push this message to more listeners around the world!Please visit Taylorawelch.com to access all of Taylor's socials and content Text Taylor: 615-326-5037Chapters: (00:00) Intro to Mimetic Desire(02:21) Examples (04:49) Connection Between Mimetic Desire & Hyper Imitation(07:15) Using Mimetic Desire for your own benefit(10:14) What is the "Worthy Model"?

The last time we had entrepreneur, professor, and author Luke Burgis on the show, he discussed the concept of mimetic desire, which says that we want the things we want because other people want them. Since that time, Luke has continued to explore the idea of mimesis, and how to resist its negative consequences, in his Substack: Anti-Mimetic. Today on the show, Luke and I dig into these ideas and discuss ways we can step outside the tempo, cadences, and priorities that the world would foist upon us and establish our own rhythms for our lives. Luke unpacks what it means to have “thick desires” and become a “political atheist” and how these concepts can help you live a more anti-mimetic life.Resources Related to the PodcastWanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life by Luke BurgisLuke's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #714 — Why Do We Want What We Want?Leisure: The Basis of Culture by Josef Pieper Deceit, Desire, and the Novel by René GirardThe Red and the Black by StendhalAoM Article: What Do You Want to Want?AoM Article: Freedom From…Freedom ToAoM Podcast #215: Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction With Matthew CrawfordAoM Podcast #796: The Life We're Looking ForAoM Podcast #847: Overdoing DemocracySunday Firesides: Not Everything Is PoliticalConnect With Luke BurgisLuke's WebsiteLuke's Substack: Anti-Mimetic

How do we have it all? That can only happen when you start letting go of compromises. There's so much of this cultural narrative that these compromises are okay. No! I want to be in a great shape. I want to earn good money. I want to have loving relationships. I want to do incredible work that I love. Why can't I? Who's saying that I can't? When I first started no one was saying, "I can't." It was me who was saying it. I just need to be able to change what that narrative is. - Christopher Dufey Live Life Well from Sunrise to Sunset Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Superfoods brand, ORGANIFI, including their Sunrise to Sunset Bundle and their Women's Power Stack that includes HARMONY + GLOW for true hormonal balance and great health radiating through your beautiful skin.

"Show me your calendar. I want to see what you do on a daily basis because that will tell me what it is - that you're actually putting in your time, attention, energy, and resources towards your goals. Show me your bank account statement. That will show me what you're putting your time, energy, effort, and resources towards as well." - Christopher Dufey If I love Myself... "The question that I ask myself frequently is, "If I love myself, would I..." If I love myself, will I go to the gym today? If I love myself, will I read this book rather than watch Netflix? The "if" takes the hardness that could stop us from, "Do I actually love myself?" Which is obviously a journey that we need to be able to go on."- Christopher Dufey Work Hard Towards Your Goals "If you're working really hard towards something, at some point, you've got to push harder. You've got to go past that breaking point and make it happen. Other times, put it down and change directions. It's just not the right thing for you to do." - Christopher Dufey The Closeness of Death "What I took from this world is the fragility of life and how I could be snatched from this at any moment. We need to keep the closeness of death with us so that we can then best show up into this world." - Christopher Dufey Links From Today's Show  Christopher Dufey 512 Alison Armstrong: Unconscious Emasculation, What Women Don't Understand About Men + How To Get The Love You Want 369 Paul Chek | All Is God: Three Part Series 438 Justin Donald | Why Wellness Is A Pentagon: The Art of Financial Intelligence & Lifestyle Investing Mimetic theory 386 Mark Groves | Create More Love: How To Deal w/ Breakups, Boundaries, & Beyond 482 Dave Asprey | Advanced Biohacking For Body Mind & Spirit: How To Train A Healthy Brain, Boost Your Flow State + Remove False Beliefs 311 Mark Wolynn | It Didn't Start With You: Ending The Cycle of Inherited Trauma 528 Vanessa Lambert | Clear Karma, Find Dharma: The Healing Power of Kundalini Yoga + Akashic Records On Bullshit by Harry Frankfurt The Brain Always Wins: Improving Your Life Through Better Brain Management by John Sullivan 435 Dr. John Gray | Wellness In Relationships: Testosterone, Estrogen, Semen Retention & Sexual Polarity Tim Ferriss Wild Wild Country 548 Dr. Stan Tatkin | Healing Toxic Relationships: What's The Bite That Fits Each Other's Wounds?

On today's episode, Charlie explains that when you're making changes in your life, you must take stock of the environment that brought you to where you are in the first place, and make sure to be around people who are doing what you want to be doing. The theory of Mimetic desire by Renee Gerard teaches that human beings create their desires based on what they see in the culture around them. Which means our desires may not even be our own! It might be that what we desire is based on something we see in our society, which all of a sudden we want. All of a sudden we find ourselves needing the thing we may not have even known existed before we saw it! Ie- the world of fashion! Therefore, the environment we put ourselves into is critical! Charlie explains: -The importance of being connected to something which creates an environment in which your new habit is normal, like a workout buddy -The danger of falling back into your old neural connections -Why it might benefit you to make your new habit public Thanks for listening, sharing, tagging, and reviewing!

Today we're joined by Luke Burgis, author of "Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life," to discuss where our desires come from and how we can better shape them. We discuss his article, "The Three City Problem of Modern Life," in which he expands on the idea, "What does Athens (reason) have to do with Jerusalem (faith)?" by adding a third city to the discussion: Silicon Valley (technology) and proposing that this Silicon Valley "city" has changed our relationships with reason and faith. Then, we talk about mimetic desire: what it is, why it's important, and how we can respond to our own desires based on where they come from. We define "disruptive empathy" and "trendy narcissism" and talk about how real love ties into all of this. WE'RE GIVING AWAY 5 SIGNED COPIES OF LUKE'S BOOK!
