Listen to what he sausy

Never made any sense to me and it still doesn't.... I remember the first time I came across this idea, when I read Rene Girard.... I just thought that was the biggest pile of nonsense I had ever read... No matter how I think about it, it makes absolutely NO sense....

so good. informative . Peirce logic ---- Spencer brown laws of form ---- Benjamin God's violence Rene girard scapegoat mechanism -- Agamben Homo sacer . These are all tangled up .

So this is how this whole idea started, interesting.

It would be useful to put the links of part 1 and 2 (is there a third?) in the description of your video so that people can more easily navigate to them...

Rene Girard understands the subject so well.

Rene Girard .... a very special man. He opened my eyes.

is experience simply triangular or can it be dialectical?

so the self-to-other relational dialectic

indiana a great state for catholic scholars.

As a person individuates, he acquires a great possibility of knowing his own thoughts, beliefs, desires - distinguishing them as what others value vs what he actually values. However, to do this one must give up all the benefits of having one's ego assuaged by the fact of expressions by others applauding one's desires, etc. This all takes work. I do not think it is 100% invariable or impossible to overcome to some degree.

I think Girard will continue to enlighten me into his 100s

A great thinker.

@ble86n Great idea. I am also using his theories in a novel I am writing. He is quite genius. A fascinating aspect is the implication that a meaningless moment acquires meaning when it is seen in relation to others.

he says explicitly in his book. theory includes a range of feudal era to capitalism

That being selfish is good, anyone should pay for himself and don't care about the others. That if there are problems is because of the external 'enemy', the scapegoat, not because of the system that guarantees the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. That people are free to fight to get richer and don't care about morals. And so on and so forth.

For example?

He would not define himself an American...well I can understand his reasons. All what he says is just the opposite as what Donald Rumsfeld says.

Women imitate men poor men wanna be rich rich men wanna be kings and a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything

Obviously, in the concept of Nation I mean not its' modern sense: State, understood as something like an institutional mechanism, but in ethno-nationality meaning. Each real Person is nationalist in ethnical sense and each such type a Person is a cosmopolist too in its best meaning.

I apreciate the value of Mimetic Theory, as it's one of the fundamental achievement in improving of interpersonal relations, but I often met this detail and don't know, why for such emerited professor, like Rene Girard, nationality and cosmopolitism, internationality are concepts, which exclude each other... When they not only could go well between them, but also reinforce each other..

Noble Prize winner in what?

Say it clearly: that's capitalism. Anarcho-capitalism.

how did u get a hold of these ideas tapes?

This guy goes on forever... How about getting Rene on the mike? Bla bla I am a christian and my wife loves applestrudel and please
