Nothing could be less intellectually fashionable that Rene Girard. His work on Mimetic Desire led him to the Catholic Church and a brazen critique of the intellectual fashions of our time.
Totally agree. Pope Francis has taken up this message--we're basically entranced in a global cultic religion worshiping a deity called Money. Or called, mysteriously "The Economy."
Nobody (frankly) knows what "The Economy" is, nobody quite knows how this whimsical entity works, it is shrouded by mystery and reverence. But we really believe it to be the source of life, before whom everything else must be sacrificed. Including, obviously, truth and planetary life itself.
Nobody in a cult believes we are in a cult. We believe it to be reality. This would be us, today. Girard was right, Mark Twain was right, TS Eliot was right, William McDonough's right, the pope is right, these economists likewise. But try convincing people in a cultic trance that we are wrong, and angry resistance will be entrenched all the more.
Mind blowing. Brilliant. The one idea to bind them all. 💥
Not so sure. Peter Thiel says his choice to invest in Facebook was based on Girard's work. Any groundbreaking anthropological insight can't help but inform investment.
Thiel says a lot of things, doesn't make them factual.

You can’t talk about this without talking about Christianity .
True, Christianity solves the Divine Dilemma here and provides the perfect Sacrifice.
@@johnnotrealname8168 They think that the Apocalypse is about the old world order and a new one is coming. Nothing new is happening, man is exhausted. The apocalypse is the end of the human world. Luckily!
How can something be called original or New Economic Thinking when the subject is so intuitively obvious that someone who has never studied economics knows about it. Much ado about nothing.
I, too, a profoundly foolish and homeless idiot, am familiar with such ancestral registries as those of the “Clash of Civilizations,” “Understanding,” “World,” “Society,” “Difference,” “Relation,” “Trade,” “War,” “Theory,” “Practice,” “Management,” “Prediction,” “Ways,” “Means,” “Jump,” “Structure,” “Whole,” “Part,” “Lead,” “Question,” “Psychology,” “Theology,” “Evolution,” “Apocalypse”…. 👌, “Greeks,” “Literature,” “Modernity,” “Application,” “Celebrity,” “Romance,” “Advertisement,” “Ritual,” “Coinage,” “Media” or “Medium,” “Duke” (120 Days of Sodom anyone?), “Jurisprudence,” “Culture,” “Politics,” “Realpolitik,” (did you mention this? 👌), “Intelligence,” “Cognition,” “Sterilization” (American and German influence anyone?), “Map,” (Dora the Explorer anyone?), 👌👌👌🤫, “Oedipus,” “Force” (Hegel’s nonsense anyone?)… I mean the list goes on and on. You get the Idea.
Did I mention I am a homeless bum with no formal education and no job? I have nothing and am a complete nobody who, as for the prospects of knowing anything whatsoever, have yet to make any gain in intellectual superiority over my “common” fellows.
I just laughed to myself and then committed to existentialist rhetorics.
Perhaps Schopenhauer is correct in his judgment when he identifies the facial snickering and grimacing as being more indicative of intention among sensible men, as distinguished from and in opposition to their timely employment of the concept. Lmao pooooooop
Try being homeless. I am.
they are inspired by a french philosopher, it doesn't.
french fashionable nonsense, again.
Lol, pleb, try again
Read more Girard before you talk. Actually read the present French economists.
