Show notes

Why are the masses falling prey to a media that acts as the establishment's PR front?

How do we foster a community of innovators in a world filled with people squabbling over political scraps? How do we get that creative mentality back from the dungeons of the establishment?

The Apocalyptic Fallout from Biden-Trump Debate - A Neighbor's Choice Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

As expected, nothing of value was discussed in the Trump-Biden debate. David Gornoski points to how the mainstream media's twisted narrative was well represented by Chris Wallace's woeful moderating. How will this debate impact our subconsciousness that identifies with the visuals? Will there ever be a discussion of real solutions, like curing cancer and other diseases, on the political stage? All the status quo cares about is getting rid of the heretic that has managed to gain control of the highest seat in the country. Listen to the full episode for David Gornoski's breakdown of the debate and what must be done to escape this neverending mimetic crisis of blame-shifting.

Biden vs Trump: Battle of the Scapegoat Stories - A Neighbor's Choice Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

David Gornoski resumes his exposition of the election media coverage that has mostly focused on Trump's taxes but has failed to mention anything about Biden and Harris' record of warmongering and locking up non-violent offenders. "The 1619 project is nothing but a sleight of hand," David says as he points to the real problems like the media failing to hold their favorite politicians accountable and Big Tech censoring dissident voices online. What can't we expect from the debate? We won't hear about any real solutions like too-cheap-to-meter energy, ketogenic nutrition to counter diseases, and other voluntary market-based innovations. Listen to the full episode for an epic dismantling of political scapegoating.

THINGS HIDDEN 21: Jean-Michel Oughourlian Interview Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

In this Things Hidden conversation, David Gornoski and Shannon Braswell are joined by Jean-Michel Oughourlian, psychologist and author of 'The Mimetic Brain.' Oughourlian starts the discussion with an insider's perspective as Girard's collaborator and how he found breakthroughs in the field of psychotherapy upon studying mimetic theory.

"The mirror neuron is something fantastic," Oughourlian remarks, "because if you experiment, if you put a CT scan or PET scan on your own head and mine, and I'm drinking a glass of water, and you are on the other side of the Atlantic just looking at me, in both our brains the same regions will be activated the same way. In other words, whether I do the action or whether you look at it, the brain functions the same way--it mirrors what I'm doing."

How does this discovery relate to the right and left-hemisphere brain study by Iain McGilchrist? How has mimetic theory helped Jean-Michel Oughourlian in the field of psychotheraphy?

"What I try to do when I see a patient is not so much find out what he is suffering from but to find out who he is suffering from. In other words, who is his rival," Oughourlian states, "This becomes extremely tricky because some people look like friends but they are your enemies, some other people you think are your enemies but they are friends, they want to help."

Is mimetic theory connected to physics? What is consciousness, or more precisely, how does consciousness function? Since we're all compelled to imitate, how should we select our role models? Listen to the full podcast to find out and more.

Ron Paul Returns, Trump and Biden Prepare for Battle - A Neighbor's Choice Sep 28, 2020

Show notes

David Gornoski starts the show by paying tribute to Ron Paul's ability in uniting people across party lines through sheer integrity and concern for fellow man. "It's very rare to find a person these days who actually believes in something." David also comments on how the Democratic party has changed from being anti-authoritarian during the Bush days to espousing the worst aspects of both parties, being for war, censorship, mass incarceration, and mass surveillance. "What they call 'Democratic Socialism' is nothing but pure Fascism." Is Trump using the Presidency for greed, as the media claims? Are Obama and the Clintons not guilty of the same when we read about their book and podcast deals with mega-corporations? Should Carla Bruni's remarks on Trump be considered valid?

Our Cannibalistic Desires: Shannon Braswell Interviews David Gornoski Sep 26, 2020

Show notes

Shannon Braswell, in his first episode of Polymath's Paradise, sits down with David Gornoski. The two resume their discussion on the works of Rene Girard. David takes us through his disillusionment with mainstream Christian talking points and his introduction to Rene Girard.

"Jesus was basically an object for folks rather than the subject of your life," David says, "Jesus had become an object with people to have a social status in comparison with others." How do we make Jesus the subject of our lives?

How does the eucharist relate to cannibalism? How is civilization, as we know it, rooted in cannibalism? How has Christ affected humanity through this ritual consumption of the other in our species? Listen to the full podcast to find out.
