His research centers on the gap between what people privately believe and what they publicly say, and the profound consequences of that gap for individuals and for society. This is one of those conversations that reframes something you thought you understood and doesn't let you go back.What We Dive Into:1. Your brain estimates group consensus using a simple shortcut: the loudest voices repeated most often. On social media, that is 10% of users creating 80% of content.2. Belonging means being accepted for who you actually are. Fitting in means changing who you are to be accepted. 3. Authenticity is not about being perfectly accurate about who you are. It is about making choices you genuinely believe align with who you are right now.✨THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:https://www.mudwtr.com/knowthyselfUse code KNOWTHYSELF for up to 43% off sitewidehttps://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfTry LMNT & get a free sample pack ___________00:00 Intro01:27 What Are Collective Illusions?02:05 The Cost of Self-Silencing05:06 How We're Hardwired to Conform07:40 Why the Brain Is Easily Fooled About Group Consensus09:13 Social Media and the Amplification of Fringe Views13:20 What Americans Actually Want in Private21:01 Who Profits from Keeping Us Divided23:52 Foreign Manipulation and AI Bot Farms29:37 The Most Consequential Collective Illusions36:38 What Authenticity Actually Means41:15 The Coming Age of Courage42:14 Belonging vs. Fitting In49:44 René Girard and Mimetic Desire59:43 How Collective Illusions Can Shatter Overnight1:05:58 The Velvet Revolution and the Power of Authenticity1:12:09 How to Build the Muscle of Living in Truth1:20:25 Todd's Personal Collective Illusion: Faith and Identity1:24:34 Spiritual Exploration and Holding Beliefs Lightly1:32:23 Certainty and Knowledge Are Inversely Correlated1:41:42 Fulfillment Over Achievement1:50:31 Small Actions That Raise Collective Consciousness___________✨MORE FROM TODD↳Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ltoddrose/↳Populace: https://populace.org↳https://www.toddrose.com/

Ceci est un épisode Solo et donc une lecture de ma newsletter à laquelle vous pouvez vous abonner juste ici - Je vous invite également à participer à ma cagnotte sur Tipeee, c'est juste là.j'ai beaucoup approché ce sujet sans jamais en parler directement alors dans cet épisode, je parle de l'épuisement systémique, pas de fatigue passagère. J'interroge l'incertitude comme carburant silencieux de notre surcharge cognitive, l'accélération décrite par Hartmut Rosa, la pression financière documentée par Antoine Foucher, le capitalisme de la jouissance analysé par Michel Clouscard, la machine à attention qui se nourrit de notre peur, et l'isolement silencieux de nos grandes villes. J'ai questionné aussi le grand mensonge de la productivité, et ce que Viktor Frankl, Pablo Servigne, Byung Chul Han et Olivier Hamant ont chacun à nous dire sur comment traverser ça sans se noyer. Et je finis par trois directions concrètes, pas des solutions miracles, juste des pas de côté qui permettent de ne pas s'épuiser à nager à contre-courant.Citations marquantes"Notre réponse à l'épuisement est presque toujours la même : on essaie de trouver une méthode pour optimiser. Et c'est là que ça devient pathétique, parce que même ceux qui veulent ralentir adorent une méthode pour le faire rapidement.""L'amygdale ne fait pas vraiment la différence entre 'un lion va me dévorer' et 'je ne sais pas ce qui va se passer dans six mois avec mon boulot, mon loyer, la géopolitique, l'IA ou le prix de l'énergie.' Les deux produisent de l'épuisement.""On n'a jamais été aussi optimisé et pourtant on n'a jamais eu aussi peu de temps.""L'ennui est biologiquement plus proche de l'énergie que de la léthargie. Le vide n'est pas un problème à remplir, c'est une condition nécessaire à la pensée profonde.""L'épuisement que vous ressentez n'est pas une faiblesse. C'est une réponse rationnelle à un système qui n'est pas conçu pour l'humain."Idées centrales 1. L'épuisement est systémique, pas personnel Ce n'est pas parce que vous êtes mal organisé ou pas assez zen. Nous sommes collectivement victimes d'un système qui n'est pas conçu pour l'humain, avec des ressources inégales pour y faire face. L'individualiser, c'est exactement ce que le système veut qu'on fasse. [~03:00]2. Notre cerveau est une machine à prédire coincée dans un monde imprévisible Pendant des millions d'années, l'anticipation était une question de survie. Aujourd'hui, cette même mécanique tourne en surchauffe permanente face à des menaces diffuses et globales qu'elle ne peut ni identifier clairement ni neutraliser. C'est là que commence l'épuisement, bien avant le surmenage. [~06:30]3. Trois accélérations simultanées qui se renforcent Hartmut Rosa distingue l'accélération technique, l'accélération du changement social et l'accélération du rythme de vie lui-même. Nous vivons les trois en même temps, sans jamais avoir le temps de nous adapter à l'une avant que la suivante arrive. [~12:00]4. La productivité vendue comme remède est souvent une cause supplémentaire L'ennui n'est pas de la paresse, c'est une émotion fonctionnelle qui prépare biologiquement le corps à l'action et ouvre la porte à la créativité. Remplir chaque vide par une stimulation externe, c'est se priver de la condition nécessaire à la pensée profonde. [~22:00]5. Le contrat du travail est rompu, et on fait semblant de ne pas le voir Pendant les Trente Glorieuses, on doublait son niveau de vie en 15 ans. Aujourd'hui, il faut 84 ans, soit deux vies de travail. Ce n'est pas une opinion, c'est documenté. Et continuer à courir plus vite dans ce contexte s'appelle de l'épuisement par définition. [~17:00]6. Nager en perpendiculaire plutôt qu'à contre-courant Résister frontalement épuise. Comme dans une baïne, la bonne réponse n'est pas de nager vers la plage mais à la perpendiculaire. Silence, soutien, sens : trois mouvements latéraux qui permettent de sortir sans s'y laisser noyer. [~28:00]Questions structurantes de l'épisodePourquoi notre réponse instinctive à l'épuisement est-elle toujours de chercher une méthode pour l'optimiser ?En quoi l'incertitude du monde contemporain active-t-elle les mêmes mécanismes que la menace physique dans notre cerveau ?Qu'est-ce que Hartmut Rosa entend exactement par "immobilisme frénétique" et en quoi ça décrit notre condition ?Comment le passage de la "société disciplinaire" de Foucault à la "société de la performance" a-t-il transformé la domination en auto-exploitation ?Pourquoi les médias et les algorithmes ont-ils intérêt à nous maintenir dans la peur plutôt que dans la réalité des chiffres ?Ce que nous avons sacrifié à vivre en grande ville mérite-t-il vraiment qu'on ne le questionne pas ?L'ennui est-il vraiment une ressource productive que l'on a collectivement décidé de détruire ?Comment Viktor Frankl trouvait-il du sens dans les camps de concentration, et qu'est-ce que ça nous dit sur notre propre rapport à l'adversité ?En quoi la "résonance" de Rosa est-elle incompatible avec le contrôle et la performance ?Qu'est-ce que vous faites parce que vous en avez envie, et qu'est-ce que vous faites parce que vous avez peur de ne pas le faire ?Références citéesPersonnesPablo Servigne (chercheur sur l'effondrement, invité de Vlan!) : "La vie danse toujours au bord du chaos.

[~21:00]SourcesCentre d'observation de la société : données sur l'évolution de l'insécurité en France [~24:00]Timestamps clés (optimisés YouTube)00:00 - Le bracelet connecté et le piège de l'optimisation J'ai voulu mieux écouter mon corps. J'ai obtenu un tableau de bord qui me disait si je méritais d'être fatigué. La réponse à l'épuisement est presque toujours la même : trouver une méthode. Et c'est là que tout déraille.03:00 - L'épuisement n'est pas un problème personnel Ce n'est pas parce que vous êtes mal organisé ou pas assez zen. C'est un épuisement systémique, dont nous sommes tous victimes à des degrés divers. L'industrie du développement personnel, 1.500 milliards de dollars, s'est construite exactement sur ce mensonge.05:30 - Pablo Servigne et le chaos comme condition du vivant "L'opposé du chaos, c'est la mort." Si c'est vrai, alors nous ne nous épuisons pas du chaos lui-même, mais de l'énergie colossale que nous dépensons à tenter de le fuir.07:00 - L'amygdale et le lion derrière le rocher Notre cerveau ne distingue pas entre une menace physique et l'incertitude géopolitique, économique ou climatique. Les deux produisent la même mobilisation d'urgence. Répétée sur des années, cette mobilisation s'appelle de l'épuisement.09:00 - L'anxiété cartésienne de Donna Brothers La pensée occidentale a construit un idéal de certitude. Quand on ne le trouve pas, on ne souffre pas de l'incertitude elle-même, mais de la collision entre ce qui est et ce qu'on croit qui devrait être.11:30 - Hartmut Rosa et les trois accélérations Technique, sociale, rythme de vie. Elles se renforcent mutuellement et nous n'avons jamais le temps de nous adapter à l'une avant que la suivante arrive. "On court de plus en plus vite pour rester sur place."16:30 - Le contrat du travail est rompu Pendant les Trente Glorieuses, on doublait son niveau de vie en 15 ans. Aujourd'hui, il faut 84 ans. Deux vies de travail. Ce n'est pas une opinion. C'est la réalité documentée qu'Antoine Foucher résume dans son titre.18:30 - De Foucault à Byung Chul Han : l'auto-exploitation Le passage de "tu dois" à "tu peux" est la mutation la plus insidieuse du système. Nous ne sommes plus soumis à une contrainte externe, mais à une injonction permanente à nous dépasser, au nom de notre liberté.20:00 - Le désir mimétique et Instagram Rousseau l'avait vu avant tout le monde : "on est heureux qu'avant d'être heureux." René Girard a théorisé le reste. Et Instagram est la machine à désir mimétique la plus efficace jamais construite.22:30 - Reed Hastings et le marché de l'attention "Notre plus grand concurrent est le sommeil." Ce marché n'est pas construit sur votre plaisir, mais sur votre peur. Peur de rater, d'être déclassé, d'être moins compétent. Et les médias ont appris à amplifier cette peur parce que ça marche.25:00 - Seuls dans la ville Sherry Turkle, trente ans au MIT : on peut être hyperconnecté et ne jamais vraiment rencontrer personne. Plus une ville est grande, plus elle rend seul. Et chaque interaction avec un inconnu est une donnée qui échappe aux plateformes.27:00 - Le grand mensonge de la productivité L'ennui est biologiquement plus proche de l'énergie que de la léthargie. C'est une émotion fonctionnelle qui prépare le corps à l'action. Remplir chaque vide par une stimulation, c'est se priver de la condition nécessaire à la pensée profonde.29:30 - Olivier Hamant et la robustesse Un arbre ne transforme que 1% de la lumière qu'il capte. Il est en sous-optimal quasi permanent pour pouvoir survivre les jours sans soleil. La nature entière sacrifie la performance pour la robustesse. Notre cerveau aussi.32:00 - Nager en perpendiculaire Résister frontalement épuise. Comme dans une baïne, nager vers la plage est la mauvaise réponse. Nager à la perpendiculaire, c'est aller ni contre ni avec, mais à côté. C'est là que commence la sortie.33:00 - Silence, soutien, sens : trois mouvements latéraux Pas des solutions miracles.

Scoppia il caso sulla prima Ferrari 100% elettrica, chiamata “Luce”: il punto non è solo se sia bella o brutta, ma cosa comunica. Perché il valore non sta nel garage di chi compra, ma nello sguardo di chi resta fuori.L'argomento “deve piacere a chi la compra” sembra buon senso, ma per un brand di lusso è un autogol: il valore-segno (Baudrillard) e la distinzione (Bourdieu) funzionano solo se una comunità ampia riconosce quel confine e lo convalida. Persino il desiderio del cliente “dentro” passa dal desiderio mimetico (René Girard): il miliardario vuole l'oggetto anche perché sa che tutti lo vorrebbero.E poi ci sarebbe anche un secondo tema: la trasparenza degli influencer invitati all'evento e la compliance con le regole italiane su contenuti pubblicitari e disclosure, ma non divaghiamo...Quando un mito smette di “donarsi” simbolicamente alla collettività (Mauss) e diventa pura merce per pochi, il conto non arriva subito dal sold-out, ma dal tempo: dall'immaginario condiviso, da ciò che i ragazzi continueranno (o smetteranno) di sognare.00:00 Due cose che fanno discutere00:01:08 Influencer e trasparenza mancata00:03:27 L'autogol: “piace a chi compra”00:04:48 I fatti del reveal00:06:20 Borsa, meme e reazioni00:07:52 Ferrari come valore-segno00:10:31 Distinzione e desiderio mimetico00:16:22 Il mito come dono collettivo#Ferrari #Branding #Marketing #AutoElettrica

Why does memory matter spiritually?In this reflective teaching on Psalm 77, John Ortberg explores remembrance, gratitude, grief, forgiveness, healing, and why memory itself can become a form of prayer.Using deeply personal family stories, Memorial Day reflections, and Psalm 77's call to “remember the deeds of the Lord,” John reflects on the spiritual importance of remembering honestly and hopefully.This episode explores:- Gratitude and memory- Remembering sin and forgiveness- God's faithfulness through suffering- Augustine's Confessions- René Girard and mimetic desire- Why Jesus told us to rememberThis teaching is thoughtful, moving, deeply personal, and filled with hope.Scriptures:- Psalm 77- Luke 22:19Resources referenced:- Eugene Peterson- Augustine's Confessions- René Girard#Psalm77 #JohnOrtberg #Prayer #Memory #Gratitude #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Healing #Psalms

In this episode, I reflect on René Girard's I Saw Satan Fall Like Lightning, especially the chapter entitled “Satan,” and explore how Girard's understanding of mimetic desire opens up a powerful way of thinking about Christianity, violence, scapegoating, and the dangerous comfort of accusation.Girard helps us see that desire is not as original as we imagine. We learn what to want through others, and the people who shape our desires can quickly become our rivals. From there, rivalry spreads, communities become anxious, and peace is often restored by finding someone to blame. This is where Girard's reading of Satan becomes so provocative: Satan is not simply a cartoonish figure of evil, but the power of accusation, contagion, and false unity through a victim.I also bring Girard into conversation with contemporary Christian nationalism, especially the way it often identifies immigrants, outsiders, and those who do not fit a narrow heritage vision of America as threats to Christian civilization. But Girard invites a reversal. The satanic is not found in the vulnerable outsider being accused. The satanic is found in the mechanism of accusation itself.This episode is an attempt to think with Girard, not as an expert, but as someone newly struck by the force of his vision, and to ask what it might mean if the cross does not bless our accusations, but exposes them.

Den franske filosofen René Girard er kjent for teoriene om mimetisk begjær og syndebukk-mekanismen. I dag løftes han frem både i MAGA-bevegelsen og i deler av Silicon Valley i USA. Men hvem var han egentlig, og hva gikk teoriene hans ut på? Vår gjest er Per-Bjørnar Grande, dosent ved Høgskulen på Vestlandet.

Why would God include violent prayers in the Bible?In this deeply challenging teaching on Psalm 137, John Ortberg explores anger, injustice, enemies, suffering, and why the Psalms are far more emotionally honest than most modern spirituality.John begins with a provocative statement: “You should stop having a quiet time.”Using reflections from Eugene Peterson, this episode explores the difference between prayer that merely calms us down and prayer that honestly confronts evil, grief, and the brokenness of the world.This episode explores:- Why Psalm 137 feels so disturbing- The role of anger and indignation- Why suppressed hatred is spiritually dangerous- Prayer as honesty before God- Jesus, enemy-love, and the Psalms- “Our hate needs to be prayed, not suppressed”Featuring reflections on:- Eugene Peterson- C.S. Lewis- René GirardScriptures:- Psalm 137- Ephesians 6:12- Matthew 5:44#Psalm137 #JohnOrtberg #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #Psalms #EugenePeterson #Justice #Forgiveness #BibleStudy

On the Self-Publishing with ALLi podcast, Joe Solari draws a lesson from Jeff Bezos's early years at Amazon — when Wall Street was calling it amazon.bomb and Bezos kept building anyway — to make a case for why indie authors need to stop watching their competitors and start watching their readers. Using the philosopher René Girard's concept of mimetic desire, Joe explains how author communities, for all their value, can quietly install somebody else's North Star in your publishing business without you even noticing. He offers two practical tools to counter this: a one-page North Star document that anchors your publishing vision before you open any dashboard or social media group, and a one-week information audit that helps you identify how much of what you're consuming is signal and how much is just other people's noise.

Michael Hardin explains how René Girard scapegoated the term sacrifice and the book of Hebrews and how he corrected course in regard to Hebrews. Karl and Paul discuss attachment of fundamentalism to the historical critical method, and then Nate and Paul point out to Michael the same problem with theological liberalism, and propose an alternative Christocentric hermeneutic in place of historicism.  If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work.

El salto de fe cambia tu mirada. Independientemente del resultado, el salto de fe deja una marca. Es una marca secreta, solo reconocible por quienes pagaron el precio. Luis Alberto lleva esa marca. Recuenco lleva esa marca. Yo llevo esa marca. No sabría explicarte qué es pero puedo reconocer por la calle a los que dieron el paso. Algo cambia en esos ojos, que ya no vuelven a sentir el miedo paralizante. Este podcast tiene muchas similitudes con los dos episodios de Recuenco porque Luis Alberto también se la ha jugado, pagando el precio personal más alto. Las barreras de entrada, en las empresas y en las carreras profesionales, se esconden en las rutas inesperadas. Tomar tus propias decisiones, cometer tus propios errores, es lo que te dará una ventaja. Solo tú puedes emprender ese camino y así construyes el propósito deseado. Es esta una idea que no puede comprender el que nunca tuvo intención de saltar. En el momento de máxima presión, cuando todos te susurran al oído que no lo hagas, tú decides dar el paso. Esa es la decisión más difícil. Esa es la decisión que todo lo cambia.Aquí tienes algunos links para conocer el fantástico proyecto educativo de Value School:La formación de Value School.Los libros de Value School.El podcast de Value School.Mi conferencia en Value School.Kapital es posible gracias a sus colaboradores:⁠⁠El Proyecto K⁠⁠.

In this episode, Annika Brockschmidt sits down with Adrian Daub, Professor at Stanford University and author of the upcoming book What Tech Calls Governing. Daub provides a searing intellectual history of the vibe shift in Silicon Valley, dismantling the myth that the tech world has undergone a broad political transformation. Instead, Daub argues that we are witnessing the radicalization of a billionaire elite, a small class of men like Marc Andreessen, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel, who have moved rightward not because of shifting data, but out of a reactionary backlash to post pandemic social pressures and the accountability of the MeToo and BLM movements. By examining the ideological bridge from 1960s counterculture to modern cyberculture, Daub reveals how the hippie to tech pipeline created a foundation for a brand of power that refuses to recognize itself as power, leading to a strange paradox where the world's most influential men consistently frame themselves as persecuted outsiders. The conversation dives deep into the specific ideologies driving today's tech giants, from René Girard's mimetic theory to the biohacking and eugenics adjacent subcultures of the ultra wealthy. Daub offers a brilliant critique of the current AI hype cycle, arguing that framing Artificial Intelligence as an unstoppable force of nature is a deliberate political maneuver designed to bypass regulation and democratic oversight. Beyond the policy, they discuss the revealing and often bizarre aesthetics of the tech elite, such as the AI generated gladiator imagery favored by aging billionaires, which Daub links to a historical fascist obsession with the idealized male form and ego. Looking forward, the duo explores the Palantir problem and the structural flaws in Silicon Valley's current political bets, while offering a preview of Daub's next project, Project 1933: Fascism Then and Now, which contextualizes our current moment within the darker chapters of 20th century history.

In dieser ersten Folge einer kleinen Ausgeglaubt-Trilogie sprechen Manuel und Stephan über Katastrophenangst und neue Apokalyptik. Wer wissen will, wie über Weltende, Antichrist, Rettung und Untergang gesprochen wird, sollte nicht zuerst in dogmatische Lehrbücher schauen, sondern ins Silicon Valley… Ausgangspunkt ist die Beobachtung: Die Gegenwart denkt sich selbst wieder unter Endzeitdruck. Klimakollaps, Atomkrieg, Pandemie, künstliche Intelligenz, globale Überwachung und zerfallende Demokratien erzeugen eine Atmosphäre permanenter Dringlichkeit. Aber diese neue Apokalyptik ist selten klassisch religiös. Sie fragt nicht zuerst, was Gott verheisst, sondern wer die Katastrophe verhindern kann, wer die Systeme kontrolliert und wer im Ausnahmezustand entscheiden darf. Eine zentrale Figur ist dabei Peter Thiel. Der Tech-Investor spricht über den Antichristen, über René Girard, Carl Schmitt, den Weltstaat und die Gefahr globaler Gleichschaltung. Das klingt zunächst bizarr, berührt aber eine reale Frage: Was geschieht, wenn Menschen aus Angst vor Katastrophen bereit werden, Freiheit gegen Sicherheit einzutauschen? Und was passiert, wenn Rettung nur noch als Kontrolle denkbar ist? Manuel und Stephan diskutieren, warum Thiels Warnung vor totaler Verwaltung ernst zu nehmen ist – und warum seine eigenen Antworten trotzdem tief in Kontroll-, Monopol- und Souveränitätsphantasien verstrickt bleiben. Es geht um demokratische Langsamkeit, um die Versuchung des Ausnahmezustands, um Tech-Religion, um politische Theologie und um eine reformierte Eschatologie, die das Ende ernst nimmt, ohne es verfügbar zu machen. Die Pointe: Vielleicht brauchen wir heute nicht weniger Eschatologie, sondern bessere Eschatologie. Eine Hoffnung, die wach bleibt, aber nicht panisch wird. Eine Sprache für Gefahr, Gericht und Zukunft, die nicht sofort nach Kontrolle, Machtsteigerung und autoritärer Entscheidung greift. Denn das Letzte kommt – aber es kommt nicht aus unserer Hand. Im Hallelujah verrät Manu ausserdem, dass er einen wirklich fesselnden Kinobesuch erlebt hat. Und im Stossgebet muss Stephan bekennen, dass er am Backofen versagt hat. Eine Folge über Tech-Apokalyptik, Katastrophenangst, Peter Thiel, reformierte Hoffnung – und ein Lob auf die Langsamkeit.

Un vecchio amico di PDR, Oliviero Bergamini, è stato alle controverse e inaccessibili conferenze romane di Peter Thiel. L'imprenditore e miliardario americano di origine austriaca, cofondatore di PayPal e della società di AI militare (e non solo) Palantir. Thiel è l'uomo che ha finanziato l'ascesa di J.D. Vance ed è stato il primo grande nome della Silicon Valley a sostenere Trump già durante il suo primo mandato. La figura di Thiel è stata l'ispiratrice del mio romanzo "Odio" (Oscar Mondadori https://amzn.to/44VUzdh ) per il suo ruolo nella fondazione di Facebook e per il dichiarato legame della sua strategia di investimento con il pensiero dell'antropologo francese René Girard, il teorico del sacrificio del capro espiatorio come momento fondante di ogni società umana. Le conferenze di Thiel (che sono chiuse al pubblico e si sono tenute a San Francisco, Parigi e Roma) ruotano attorno al tentativo di identificare l'anticristo nella società contemporanea. Oliviero racconta come è riuscito a "infiltrarsi" all'evento e cosa ha visto e sentito. Abbiamo parlato di transumanesimo, di guerra tecnologica, dei limiti contemporanei alla ricerca scientifica e delle ambizioni di AI "assoluta" di Palantir. In questa conversazione scopriamo cosa pensa Thiel del progresso, del monopolio e dello Stato; del ruolo di Palantir nella guerra in Iran e a Gaza e delle sue conseguenze sul diritto internazionale; delle radici del suo pensiero. E poi allarghiamo lo sguardo: come sta cambiando la guerra tra Cina e USA, che ruolo ha l'Europa, cosa succede con il nucleare, e come fa l'Iran a resistere agli Stati Uniti. Abbiamo parlato anche degli incontri di Oliviero con alcuni dei grandi della terra. Chiudiamo con una tradizione americana per eccellenza: gli attentati ai presidenti, da Lincoln a Trump, di cui Oliviero fa una breve storia.

What makes the cross of Jesus different from every other story of sacrifice?In this episode, John explores the idea of scapegoating through the work of René Girard and how human societies have always dealt with conflict the same way: by finding someone to blame. We find ourselves at the cross. The cross of Jesus changes everything. For the first time, the scapegoat is truly innocent and instead of justifying the system, the cross exposes it.You'll learn:why humans instinctively assign blamehow rivalry and imitation lead to conflictwhat scapegoating looks like in everyday lifehow the cross reveals the truth about human systemswhy God responds to blame with graceIn a world that runs on blame, the cross offers a different way.Not more condemnation.Not more scapegoats.But grace.

The meaning of the cross is bigger than any single theory.In the second part of this series, David Armstrong traces the road to Calvary — from Israel's sacrificial system and the ritual of Yom Kippur to the Hebrew prophets wrestling with the tensions of justice and mercy.We also explore various rich understandings of Jesus's death offered throughout church history — from Christus Victor to René Girard's remarkable scapegoat theory — before approaching a question many of us carry but rarely voice: what about the wrath of God?We conclude seeing that Good Friday and Easter Sunday are unified — not a failure followed by a rescue but one single, world-altering event. The cross was a victorious act of love descending into the deepest darkness, and the resurrection made that victory visible.

Dans cet épisode d'Esprits Libres, David Abiker reçoit Cécile Cornudet, éditorialiste aux Échos, et Jean-François Colosimo, théologien et essayiste, pour une discussion passionnante autour de la figure de l'antéchrist et de la stratégie politique de Jean-Luc Mélenchon.Tout commence avec une analyse approfondie de la pensée de Peter Thiel, l'entrepreneur milliardaire de la Silicon Valley, qui puise son inspiration dans les écrits de l'anthropologue René Girard et du juriste allemand Carl Schmitt. Selon Jean-François Colosimo, Thiel développe une forme de « gnose » transhumaniste, où l'homme augmenté est vu comme l'avenir de l'Occident. Cette vision s'apparente à une forme d'« antéchrist », en ce sens qu'elle se présente comme une alternative au Christ et au règne de Dieu sur Terre.La discussion se tourne ensuite vers la figure de Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Cécile Cornudet explique comment Mélenchon a réussi à mobiliser une frange de la population, notamment les jeunes et les habitants des quartiers, grâce à un discours radical et excessif, qui fait écho à un certain rejet du politique. Malgré les controverses et les violences, cette stratégie semble porter ses fruits, permettant à Mélenchon de progresser dans certaines villes lors des élections municipales.Les invités analysent en détail le phénomène, soulignant que Mélenchon cible délibérément l'électorat musulman en se faisant le défenseur de la cause palestinienne. Ils évoquent également la « lepénisation » puis la « trumpisation » de Mélenchon, qui emprunte des méthodes similaires à celles de Marine Le Pen et de Donald Trump pour séduire un électorat en quête de rupture.La discussion s'élargit ensuite à la situation de la droite française, qui peine à produire un discours alternatif face à la montée du Rassemblement National. Cécile Cornudet et Jean-François Colosimo s'interrogent sur l'avenir du parti Renaissance, créé par Emmanuel Macron, et sur la possibilité d'une candidature de centre-droit capable de s'imposer face aux forces de Mélenchon et du Rassemblement National.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

One of the real challenges of studying the Hebrew Bible is figuring out how to make sense of stories of divine violence—where a God of love seems hard to find. These passages raise real questions about the nature of God and what it means for us as we try to live faithfully.Our guest today is Riley Risto, director of Latter-day Peace Studies, who joined the Church after a powerful mystical experience while praying about the Book of Mormon, an experience that centered his faith on Jesus and shaped his lifelong effort to take Christ's teachings seriously in a world—and a Bible—full of violence and conflict.In this episode, Riley invites us to engage scripture through what's often called a cruciform lens—the idea that, if Jesus gives us the clearest picture of who God is, then his life and teachings should shape how we understand every Bible story. Instead of letting the most troubling passages define our image of God, we begin with Christ and the cross and allow his life—and his radical call to love our enemies—to guide the way we wrestle with the rest.Along the way we explore what René Girard's work on scapegoating might reveal about violence in scripture, what it might really mean to “take the Lord's name in vain,” and what a Christ-centered reading could mean about justice.Underneath it all is the conviction that we're not meant to be casual observers of scripture, but participants—trusting that honest wrestling can refine our faith and discipleship. For us, this cruciform lens has sparked new curiosity and breathed new life into our scripture study this year, and we're excited to share it with you.If conversations like this are resonating with you, we'd love to invite you to explore more of the work we're doing at Faith Matters. One podcast you might especially enjoy is Proclaim Peace, a joint project from Faith Matters and Mormon Women for Ethical Government.Hosted by Jennifer Thomas and Patrick Mason, Proclaim Peace explores what it might look like to read scripture through a lens of peace—and how those teachings can shape the way we live, engage conflict, and show up in the world.If this episode sparked something for you, we invite you to subscribe to Proclaim Peace on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts. We think you'll really appreciate the thoughtful conversations happening there.Become a Friend of Faith Matters or a paid Wayfare subscriber by March 31 to get Issue 7 in the mail! 

Good Friday arrives with some of the heaviest texts of the liturgical year — and Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Cody Sanders are here to help you preach them well.This episode covers all four lectionary readings for Good Friday (April 2, 2026): Isaiah 52:13–53:12, Psalm 22, Hebrews 10:16–25, and John 18–19. The hosts explore where preachers might "drop into" the long Johannine passion narrative, discuss Jesus' three last words in John ("I thirst," "Woman, here is your son," and "It is finished"), and reflect on what they reveal about Jesus' full humanity and divinity.The conversation also takes up Pilate's conflicted role as a study in the corrupting logic of power, René Girard's scapegoat theory as a lens on Jesus' innocence, the underrepresentation of lament in the lectionary (30 of 45 omitted psalms are lament psalms), and how Hebrews 10 speaks both to the meaning of the cross and to the life of the community gathered around it.Whether you're preaching a full sermon, leading a Seven Last Words service, or simply holding space for grief this Good Friday, this episode offers rich theological grounding and pastoral encouragement.

Week 49 of Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities list brings three modern French thinkers into conversation: Simone de Beauvoir, Michel Foucault, and René Girard. Unlike many earlier weeks in this project, these readings aren't novels or unified texts—they're philosophical excerpts that stand largely on their own. So rather than forcing a single theme, I consider how each of these writers might still be shaping the world we live in today.Beauvoir's The Second Sex asks why “man” is treated as the default while woman becomes the “other,” raising questions that still echo in modern debates about biology, identity, and women's health. It even makes an appearance with an interaction I had with ChatGPT!Foucault's “Eye of Power” examines surveillance and the famous “Panopticon,” showing how systems of observation quietly shape behavior. This is an idea that feels spookily prescient in our world of cameras, cookies, and algorithms. Finally, René Girard's theory of mimetic desire and scapegoating offers a striking explanation for why humans compete, blame, and sometimes unite against a chosen victim.

Author and entrepreneur Luke Burgis joins us to explore the invisible architecture of human desire — and how understanding it can radically change our choices, ambitions, and sense of self. Drawing on his book *Wanting* and the mimetic theory of René Girard, Burgis unpacks how most of what we "want" is shaped not by independent reasoning, but by models — people we unconsciously imitate.From adolescent identity formation to startup culture, self-improvement traps, and curated social media personas, Burgis reveals how easily our values can be hijacked. He discusses the destructive loop of rivalrous desire, the myth of the autonomous goal-setter, and how most of us never pause to ask *why* we want what we want. The conversation also dives into the difference between thin vs. thick desires, how to build a life rooted in fulfillment rather than status, and the importance of discovering what only *you* can do. For anyone seeking clarity in a noisy, comparison-driven world, this episode is a wake-up call — and a blueprint for reclaiming your inner compass. Hosted on Acast.

We're joined by Rosi Braidotti, Distinguished University Professor Emerita at Utrecht University and founding director of the Centre for the Humanities, for a wide-ranging conversation on posthumanism as both a philosophical project and a political orientation.Braidotti's work has constructed one of the most sustained and consequential accounts of what comes after the collapse of Eurocentric 'humanism.' The conversation traces the long arc from her early intervention on nomadic subjectivity, a materialist corrective to postmodernism's drift into linguistic relativism, through the ethical and ontological turn that her posthumanist project represents. Where poststructuralism gave us the critique of the subject as origin, nomadism gave us a subject that is grounded, embodied, multiple, and in motion.Central to the episode is the missing link in the American reception of French theory: the radical materialist tradition of Deleuze and Guattari, which diagnosed capitalism's schizophrenic logic (its ability to deterritorialize and adapt faster than any opposition) long before it became common sense. Braidotti traces the suppression of that critique through the French Communist Party's blacklists, the invention of "French theory" as an exportable product stripped of its political economy, and the consequences for a left that lost the ability to think technogenesis, cognitive capitalism, or the mutation of subjectivity under media saturation.The conversation then turns to fascism as concept rather than historical event: the philosophical move that Deleuze and Guattari made and that Foucault named in his preface to Anti-Oedipus. This allows Braidotti to connect micro-fascism (the cult of negativity, the eroticization of power-as-humiliation, the viral spread of impotence) to the coherent neo-fascist philosophical tradition running from Alain de Benoit through the Heritage Foundation and Budapest to Peter Thiel's Yale dissertation on sacrifice. While the left blocked its own analytical capacities, the right was doing serious philosophical work.Against all of this, Bradiotti proposes affirmative ethics: a Spinozist praxis of activating what a body can do. The episode ends thinking through scale, how affirmative ethics operates from the city to the planetary, and the urgency of the European federalist project as the only existing institutional attempt to participate in decisions about what we could possibly become.Some references:Rosi BraidottiPatterns of Dissonance, Polity Press, 1991Nomadic Subjects: Embodiment and Sexual Difference in Contemporary Feminist Theory, Columbia University Press, 1994Metamorphoses: Towards a Materialist Theory of Becoming, Polity Press, 2002Transpositions: On Nomadic Ethics, Polity Press, 2006The Posthuman, Polity Press, 2013Gilles Deleuze & Félix GuattariAnti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, 1972 (English trans. 1977, preface by Michel Foucault)A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, 1980Félix GuattariThe Three Ecologies, 1989 (English trans. 1991)Michel FoucaultPreface to the American edition of Anti-Oedipus, 1977SpinozaEthicsTheological-Political TreatiseAntonio NegriThe Savage Anomaly: The Power of Spinoza's Metaphysics and Politics, 1981Genevieve LloydPart of Nature: Self-Knowledge in Spinoza's Ethics, University of Minnesota Press, 1994Spinoza and the Ethics, Routledge, 1996Antonio DamasioDescartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain, 1994Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain, 2003Simone de BeauvoirThe Second Sex, 1949Frantz Fanon — mentioned in relation to decolonial thought and the anti-fascist generation Herbert MarcuseOne-Dimensional Man, 1964Eros and Civilization, 1955Rosa Luxemburg — cited as an ecological thinker; the dialogue with Lenin in Zurich narrated by Isaiah Berlin Isaiah Berlin — on Spinoza and radical enlightenment; on Rosa LuxemburgAltiero SpinelliThe Ventotene Manifesto, 1941 — founding document of the European federalist projectDonna Haraway"A Cyborg Manifesto," 1985VNS Matrix"A Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century," 1991Alain de Benoist — neo-fascist philosopher, intellectual architect of the European New Right; cited as formative influence on Steve Bannon and the Heritage Foundation / Budapest / Rome foundation networksJulius Evola — philosopher of Italian fascism; cited alongside de Benoist as daily reference for BannonPeter Thiel — PhD dissertation on René Girard and the concept of sacrifice, Stanford / Yale; position papers on technological selection and extinction

Comparison is the quiet engine behind condemnation.In this episode, we explore why sizing ourselves up against others feels so natural and why it so often turns us anxious, resentful, and judgmental. Drawing on insights from René Girard, social psychology, and Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, we uncover how comparative desire fuels rivalry, outrage, and “us vs. them” thinking.From the Ten Commandments to social media envy, from Cain and Abel to modern prestige rankings, we discover why wanting what our neighbor has never ends well and what Jesus offers as a radically different way to live.Today's Resources:René Girard, I See Satan Fall Like LightningJonathan Haidt, The Anxious Generation

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron offer a deep Christian theological analysis of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis involving Renee Nicole Good, examining the tragedy through the lenses of biblical anthropology, moral theology, and cultural analysis rather than partisan outrage. Drawing on thinkers like Augustine, Jonathan Haidt, René Girard, and Michael Polanyi, they explore how Christians should respond to politically charged current events, the tension between what is legal and what is moral, the danger of scapegoating and symbolic thinking, and why silence, prayer, and wisdom can sometimes be more faithful than instant commentary. This conversation is aimed at Christians seeking thoughtful, theologically grounded discussion of current events, Christian ethics, sanctity of life, authority, justice, and how to faithfully navigate polarized culture without surrendering compassion, truth, or hope.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

L'expression « bouc émissaire » a une origine à la fois biblique, religieuse et symbolique, remontant à plus de trois mille ans. Aujourd'hui, elle désigne une personne injustement accusée et punie à la place des véritables responsables — mais son sens premier était beaucoup plus concret et rituel.Tout commence dans l'Ancien Testament, dans le Livre du Lévitique (chapitre 16), texte fondamental de la tradition juive. À l'époque, les Hébreux célébraient chaque année le Yom Kippour, le grand jour de l'expiation. Ce jour-là, le grand prêtre d'Israël accomplissait un rituel destiné à purifier le peuple de ses fautes. Deux boucs étaient choisis : l'un était sacrifié à Dieu, l'autre devenait le bouc émissaire. Le prêtre posait symboliquement les mains sur sa tête et transférait sur lui les péchés de toute la communauté. Puis l'animal, chargé de ces fautes, était chassé dans le désert, vers un lieu inhabité appelé « Azazel ». Il emportait ainsi les péchés du peuple loin du camp.Ce rite très ancien visait à purifier la collectivité en rejetant symboliquement le mal hors d'elle. L'expression hébraïque originelle, ‘azazel, a longtemps prêté à confusion : on ne savait pas s'il s'agissait d'un lieu, d'un démon du désert ou du nom donné au bouc lui-même. Les premières traductions de la Bible en grec, puis en latin, ont choisi de rendre le terme par « bouc pour l'éloignement » (caper emissarius), d'où vient notre expression française « bouc émissaire ».Au fil des siècles, la dimension religieuse a disparu, mais l'image est restée puissante. Le bouc émissaire est devenu une métaphore sociale et psychologique. Dans toute société, lorsqu'un groupe traverse une crise — guerre, famine, épidémie, échec politique — il cherche souvent un responsable unique, un individu ou une minorité sur qui reporter la faute collective. C'est ce mécanisme que le philosophe et anthropologue René Girard a théorisé au XXe siècle : selon lui, les sociétés humaines maintiennent leur cohésion en désignant une victime expiatoire, qu'on exclut ou qu'on sacrifie pour apaiser les tensions internes.Ainsi, le « bouc émissaire » d'aujourd'hui — qu'il soit un collègue, un groupe social ou un peuple — n'est que l'héritier moderne du rituel antique : une manière de se débarrasser du mal ou du conflit en le projetant sur un autre. L'expression rappelle à quel point le besoin de désigner un coupable est ancré dans nos mécanismes les plus anciens de survie et de cohésion collective. Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode, Luke Burgis explores the question, “Are your desires really yours?” and how to recognize and reclaim what you truly want. He discusses how to tell the difference between “thin desires (fleeting, imitated wants) and “thick desires” (the deeper longings that bring lasting fulfillment), and why discerning between the two can change the direction of your life. Luke also shares practices for uncovering your true hierarchy of values, creating alignment between what you want and who you want to be. Explore how to pivot from “I don't want to” to “I do want to, I just don't feel like it” and how to feed the desires that lead to meaning instead of comparison or regret. Exciting News!!!

Key Takeaways: Exploration of the concept of mimetic desire and its origins in the work of René Girard. Discussion on how desires are often imitative and influenced by others rather than being inherently personal. The importance of discerning between beneficial and harmful desires in one's life. The parable of the two wolves as a metaphor for the internal conflict between positive and negative desires. Differentiation between “thin desires” (fleeting and influenced by external factors) and “thick desires” (deeply rooted in personal values and identity). The role of self-reflection and narrative in understanding one's desires and motivations. The significance of establishing a hierarchy of values to guide decision-making and desire cultivation. The impact of social interactions on shaping desires and the responsibility individuals have in influencing others.

Tech billionaire Peter Thiel is no cuck philanthropist. The co-founder of Palantir is leading his company at the bleeding edge of mass surveillance, facial recognition, predictive policing, and AI-assisted warfare. He also fancies himself a political player, responsible for funding his protege, JD Vance, to a heartbeat away from the presidency. Considering this CV, the announcement that Thiel would give a series of four lectures on the AntiChrist was puzzling.  Why would a tech-bro with a notoriously awkward and inarticulate speaking style hold forth on religious prophecy? Or would this be a coming out party, where he would finally confirm his alliance with Satan? Now that the lectures have happened, we can finally tell you—and later, we'll frame it in the context of Thiel's mentor, René Girard.

Paul Axton preaches: John identifies Jesus as the the rejected Logos, which means he is not the Greek logos, the Jewish logos, the philosophical logos, or the religious logos, or the logic, language, reason, or word that grounds this world's systems of human thought. Martin Heidegger is the prime example of recognizing the violence of the Greek logos, and then of presuming the Logos of Christ is a continuation of the same. René Girard brings out the absolute difference, developed most completely by Anthony Bartlett.  If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work. Become a Patron!

Ryan Duns is back on the podcast to talk about his provocative new book exploring horror and theology, and boy does he deliver some counterintuitive insights. He argues that horror is actually the most conservative film genre—and that's precisely why it works so well for theological reflection. Think about it: to be scared, you first have to believe there's something worth protecting. Ryan walks us through how horror films function as underground spaces where transcendence has been displaced and distorted, creating what he calls "frag events" that shatter our comfortable assumptions about reality. From The Purge and mimetic desire to The Black Phone and eucatastrophe, he shows how these films operate as photographic negatives of divine transcendence, revealing both our metaphysical vulnerability and our deep hunger for meaning. We dive into concepts like the "dark transcendent," the porosity of being, and why feeling horror is actually a sign of soul. Plus, Ryan shares stories from his Theology of Horror class—including angry parent emails and a student who ended up joining the Jesuits. If you've ever wondered what a philosophical theologian is doing teaching about chainsaw massacres and demonic possession, this conversation will blow your mind while making you rethink everything about faith, fear, and what it means to be human. Check out the book, Theology of Horror: The Hidden Depths of Popular Films. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Ryan G. Duns, SJ, (twitter) is a Jesuit priest and an assistant professor of theology at Marquette University. His locates his work the intersection of philosophy and systematic theology and is interested in regarding theology as practice or “way of life.” He has published on Karl Rahner, Jean-Luc Marion, René Girard, and his most recent work has involved a sustained engagement with William Desmond's metaphysics. His monograph “Spiritual Exercises for a Secular Age: Desmond and the Quest for God” argues that, when read as a form of spiritual exercise (Pierre Hadot), Desmond's philosophy can re-awaken a sense of the Transcendent.
