Show notes

David Gornoski talks with renowned neuroscientist Iain McGilchrist on his groundbreaking paradigm of how the left and right hemispheres shape our world, institutions, and culture. Julian Jaynes's bicameral mind, Rupert Sheldrake's morphic field hypothesis, Rene Girard's mimetic theory, and Weiping Yu's dipolar particle theory are all explored with the premise of McGilchrist's "The Master and His Emissary" thesis in mind.

Government Monopolies Worsen Contagions - A Neighbor's Choice Mar 19, 2020

Show notes

During challenges like pandemics, the rule of law is essential to protect. Without a moral foundation for law, societies breakdown, families are torn apart, and cures for diseases are prevented. Collectivism depends on scapegoats. Freedom depends on self-sacrifice and skin in the game. David Gornoski explores what's at stake. Also, cow's milk and nuclear fusion.

THINGS HIDDEN 11: Coronavirus Scapegoating and Rainmakers Mar 13, 2020

Show notes

David Gornoski explores the anthropological origins of the recent attempts to quarantine guilt onto the back of President Trump, China, and other entities for the coronavirus pandemic emergency. Sir James Frazer's classic book "The Golden Bough" is explored to see how primitive societies used rainmakers, chiefs in charge of good weather to blame when bad weather and drought occurred.

THINGS HIDDEN 10: Tom Holland Interview Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

How did Christianity change the world? Can we trace a path towards a less violent world due to the impact of the story of Jesus's death on humanity's sense-making? David Gornoski talks with acclaimed historian Tom Holland on his new book Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World and how his study of history is drawing him back to the faith of his youth.

THINGS HIDDEN 9: The Impotent Sacrifice Feb 10, 2020

Show notes

David Gornoski explores how our forms of collective violence increasingly fail to deter violence because of our lack of appetite for publicly sanctioned brutality. This phenomenon, a product of the Gospel's influence in the West, will continue to render state coercion impotent in foreign nation building campaigns and domestic wars on nonviolent choices. Media ecology and anthropology are employed to see this trajectory.

THINGS HIDDEN 8: The Origins of Political Correctness Feb 03, 2020

Show notes

Where did political correctness come from? Why is it unique to the West? What force provides the context by which this contagious complex of victim-posturing for power arose? David Gornoski explores how our gradual demystification of historical texts acts as a blame-the-messenger self-obsession with attacking Western institutions and traditions.

THINGS HIDDEN 7: Why Nations Rage Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

David Gornoski explores why politics is failing to contain our violence and animosity increasingly in AD 2020. We examine the anthropological forces at play as division grows in politics the longer cultures steep in the story and values of the crucified one.

THINGS HIDDEN 6: How Myth Makes Modern and Ancient News Nov 11, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, David Gornoski analyzes the Apollonius of Tyana mythologically-intermediate story of a miracle in Ephesus. The pagan miracle worker is often favorably compared with Jesus of Nazareth by moderns anxious to posture rebellion towards their parents' Christian affinity. We then use this demystification process to deconstruct a modern news report on a pharmaceutical drug for Alzheimer's disease.
