"Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" takes you beyond rhetorical "rabbits" and the shallow approach that the media and most thinkers today take to examine contemporary cultural phenomena. Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly.

this makes me happy
Protestant here, Symbolic thinking is valuable. We are rewakening to it as well.
Jesse, I think without a doubt that all of humanity is re-member-ing, as in putting back together what already is, this way of being. But it is so hard to remember when the way back is not something authentically in front of you. It's almost like we in the west are trying to remember our parents yet, we haven't been home in so long we don't even know what they look like. Maybe....
Insightful discussion. Thank you.
Mother/father, mater/pater, matter/pattern. The material is only half the equation.
mind=blown
is that coincidence or is there an etymological connection there
@@chrisc7265 I know for a fact mother is etymological material.
Wow I thought it was stupid when I first read it, but thats the actual etymology of both words. Interesting.
@@06rtm Yeah dude, it's a small fact that can have big impact on your intellectual frame.
@@EMO_alpha Yeah thats amazing
Interesting interview!
24:47 "It is the huge heresy of 'precedent' and our attitude to it that I attack. It is the view that because we have got into a mess we must grow messier to suit it; that because we have taken a wrong turn some time ago we must go forward and not backwards; that because we have lost our way we must lose our map also; and because we have missed our ideal we must forget it" [G K Chesterton]
Great conversation.
this is great
Lots to improve on indeed!
Audio soundin gooood Pageau!
Its great to see Jonathan in that test coming out with sincerity. Pageau is the Coolest! The best postmodern priest in humanity is Jonathan.
25:00 - I am not Orthodox, I am an American Catholic (I guess with a traditional bent). This is a difficult thing I had to come to terms with. The Founding Fathers had a very flawed understanding of the world, if not heretical. Thomas Jefferson, who was once my favorite Founding Father, wrote a bible that basically stripped any symbolic or spiritual content. The U.S. was set up in an unstable place, with one foot in Christianity and one foot in the Enlightenment, so that the country ever since has been in a constant state of tearing itself apart trying to find a stable point.
(As far as it's possible to have three feet), the foundation of America also had another foot in the esoteric with a number of the Founding Fathers being Freemasons. America's founding is fascinating because it's complex but relatively recent enough that we can still see the making of it.
Yes, you are bang on. The founding fathers based their philosophy on a heretical theological view of man and government. (Doctrine of natural rights.) then they turned around and tried to make a completely secular government, which is the same government that they based on bad theology. Completely contradictory way of thinking.
Woah, we are getting video today.
I like the new categories.
You should get E Michael Jones for a show on Logos
Count me in. If I can learn to stutter less and think more... or maybe think less and stutter less, thereby?
19:57 Disappointed to hear that maybe Pageau and Peterson wont be having a reunion any time soon
On the Symbolic World Facebook page, he just said he’ll be on JBP’s podcast soon
@@Keeronin Awesome
@@Keeronin I cant find where he said this, any chance you could show me?
@@06rtm go to “The Symbolic World within the Zombie Invasion” Facebook group (it’s a private Facebook group about symbolic thinking, not managed by JP), and he made a post on there 2 days ago saying “So I was just invited to be on the JBP podcast. Expect more traffic here and on Discord I imagine. 🙂”
@@Keeronin Oh okay thanks for replying. I mustve been looking at the wrong page. Exciting news!
California the weirdest place? Just watched a documentary it was all cocaine Florida, that state seems weirder. Unless we are talking about two different weirds.
I think two different kinds of weird
