This dude is deep! Thank you YouTube algorithm!
Comment from : Michael E

A French Rationalist but a Christian Catholic is interviewed by a Hoover Institute scholar whose best known book is How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life (!) on the crowd pleasing YouTube concludes with a Sunday School lesson for American viewers Who'd thunk the world, life and all that would be so easy to figure out Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth is much better as is the series narrated by Susan Sarandon Suggested reading in the Wikipedia article on Campbell has a list that is much more interesting
Comment from : bruce rawson

I think I have that same mug From Macy'sbrbrIt kinda gives another reasoning why none of us are God -- because we sin If a grouped accused any one of us of something, well, there probably was a time when we did something wrong to another person; thus, we do deserve reproach, but thankfully we have Grace Only Christ was without sin both in myth band/b in history

this guy is so over-rated
Comment from : AllUserNamesTaken111

When looking at Christianity from this lens(ie innocent savior slain by mob), it's easy to see why Communist regimes often wipe out their Christian populations
Comment from : MoonDog

I love this man
Comment from : Kyungran Park

Oedipus didn't kill his father and his mother he killed his father (Laius) and slept with his mother (Jocasta) and fathered 4 children off her body He was not killed He blinded himself and was exiled from the community Can we please get the essential details right?

Comment from : CashcroftTV

Christianity destroys mythology says René Girard I would have loved to see his reaction to Jordan Peterson's Biblical lectures where mythology was front and centre

"I don't know [And,] I don't want to make up an answer"
Comment from : Irene Choe

so essentially humans are in constant conflict because they want the same thing but both can't have it The only way to turn this conflict into peace is through a scapegoat I cant see how jesus fits into this someone help
Comment from : alexander leo

I think Girard would vibe with Jordan Peterson were he alive today
Comment from : lbarberiscanoni

If you read the comments here praising Girard and start agreeing to them, you're already experiencing mimetic desire
Comment from : Rahul Shrestha

Here is a man with a profound understanding of Conflict Quite astonishing
Comment from : Alef

If only you could have interviewed him prior to his death
Comment from : Jeffrey Segal

Fashion explained
Comment from : Watcher Dave

What if Christ was guilty? If he were a Jewish partisan, part of the Persian Jews, and fought the Romans as part of the Persian Wall against Rome
Comment from : Mai Jieke

and also technically in Leviticus they kill the pure spottless "sinless" goat and send the goat blamed for the sins of Israel (the scapegoat) out into the wildernessbrbrthe scapegoat isnt actually the one that got harmed, it went away with the mistakes and sins of the people that were atoned, the perfect "lamb of god" is the one who got harmed and sacrificed
Comment from : FƎEΔ ♆ΩV☈ ƧƬΛЯᵥₙG ᛖIᴎΔ

but there is always the first person who desires something, so where does this desire come from?
Comment from : Joseph

this interviewer is friggin funny
Comment from : Tairan Li

He's the thinking man's Jordan Peterson
Comment from : Eric Juul

All this erudition and discourse to persuade themselves and the world that Christianity is the one and only true religion
Comment from : Ahmed Maroud

As Peter Thiel said, in the 22nd century humans will look back to Girard as one of the great intellectuals of our time
Comment from : Lansana Camara

i am surprised by how many interviewers simply demand an explanation of a quote, ie, "you said this, now explain!" in my opinion, this is not proper technique in an interview the question should be a question, not a demand
Comment from : Kirrarengo

Just another sophist in the service of church
Comment from : autotrance

Investment banker? whut reporters be damnedsomebody make a theory about that lowlight pls
Comment from : copypastecopypaste

What year did this interview take place?
Comment from : Elaine Torpey

Ok what am I missing here there's an object (of potential desire) a subject (another person) who desires it, and us If we are simply mimicking their desire, where does their desire come from? How can they desire independently for us to mimic?
Comment from : Paul Renzi

What about Buddhism? Is it also does work as Christianity into braking up violence and sacrifices? brtoo bad Gené never saying anything about Buddhism
Comment from : sincity147

Rene Girard is in my mind was one of the most influential humans the world has not seen yet like Peter,Paul, a Prophet or one of those who where present at the Nicene Creed, ect If you were draw to something he said, check out the professors who studied himand their protege' (Baxter Kruger,Andre Rabe are a couple I enjoy how Rene has influenced them Be Blessed and continue to be enlightened y'all!
Comment from : Blue Magic

The rulers have found their scapegoats once again, only this time it's different because it's on a massive planetary scale First scapegoat is "terrorism"" This isn't a country, it isn't an ideology, it can't be personified Second scapegoat is "climate change" This cannot be vilified, it's a common responsibility, it has no intention These two scapegoats work wonderfully as tools to unite the world in the new globalized order brbrChristianity has nothing to do with Catholicism, Protestantism or Orthodox Christ's message has been distorted so much through history that it has lost most of its original meaning Augustine of Hippo was the first to distort the message It went downhill from therebrbrModern Christianity is a dogma, a religion and it no longer brings truth to the common interests of men It is no longer a way (ie tropos) of living, but a set of reward-centered rules promoting self-interest (ie saving one's own soul) brbr fwstiraswordpresscom
Comment from : Minister Chameleon

Brilliant this affirms what i say in debates, the religion and gods are created by the culture , there purely the imagination of the intellect; but Christianity is different it makes the community and culture guilty and goes against it
Comment from : Thomas Remmers

may he rest in peace
Comment from : Barbara Bradshaw

Interesting
Comment from : MadVentriloquistGurl

"Les idees directrices," Page 266 du Fu Man Chu; and by that I mean the Dao de Dung, otherwise known as the false Granet, ie that which Albin Michel purports to put out with a Leon Vandermeersch preface:brbr"Rien qui penche! Rien oblique!brSuivez l'Eauite (Yi) Royale!brNulle affection particuliere!brSuivez le Tao Royal!brNulle haine particuliere!brSuivez le Chemin (lou) Royal!brRien qui penche!

Comment from : TeeGee Schlitzky

I enjoyed this very muchI am doing graduate work in theology and am very interested in Girard's work Thank you
Comment from : Hannah Stewart

That is a "true" girardian" feeling If we were only rid of those christians, everything would be well
Comment from : Berzstiflag

Jesus denies the charges He is not against the Law and his kingdom is not of this world He is DESIGNED as guilty by the romans and the sadducees, exactly as girardian theory says
Comment from : Berzstiflag

that's the first thing I thought It negates his whole "christianity is different" thesis, doesn't it?
Comment from : Andy Hall

I apologize I totally misread your comment Bad day Sorry
Comment from : sunlitweb

I think you completely missed Jean Gove's point
Comment from : sunlitweb

Do you think Peter Robinson is actually getting what Girard is saying!?
Comment from : B Noble

Not a chance of following you on Twitter as I refuse to open an account
Comment from : Codenwarra Cove

Jesus was guilty of blasphemy to the Jews and rabble rousing to the Romans

Comment from : muel0341

@michigan6443 YOU were in error when you said "He should of said " You should have said "He should have said" :-)
Comment from : UISTMAN59

I missed something in my study of history I never knew during WWII that 1000's were killed by 'the communists' Why haven't I heard of this I wonder
Comment from : Darnice Nyce

@xxueajsqxx behave like christians, but not BE christians?
Comment from : Amarynthine

God allows scapegoating to happen, it is because He wants humanity to exist and so forth hmmm
Comment from : Amarynthine

I could be related to this guy hahaha
Comment from : girardbcp

@ManACanadian lol, calling Rene Girard ignorantwho are you?
Comment from : VoiceOfModeration

@ManACanadian But Islam gains converts through the sword It is even a requirement of that religion, and thus, it is a step back towards violence In fact, it blames non-believers for their ills, and makes scapegoats of the outsiders Christianity morality is universal It requires its adherents to treat non-Christians the same way that it treats Christians Not true of either of the Judaism or Islam Thus, the way you feel about the USA It gives unity to Moslems through scapegoating
Comment from : BugsMr123

@MsRedjay I'm confused, are you disappointed that critical thinking can lead to "appallingly conservative" (whatever that is) conclusions, or are you disappointed in your inability to be intellectually honest?
Comment from : Craig Wash

@77scar It was in some circumstances Read Josephus' accounts of Jewish nonviolent actions before or during the life of Jesus Sometimes they succeeded, sometimes not We might say that they had a better success rate than war
Comment from : Chris Haw

His memetic theory is a universal true We can see it clearly everywhere we go Now, desires are boosted by our environment which are ultimately a result of our passions and necessities as well I'd only point that our primitive needs are not fostered by this memetic desire, and in this sense these needs dispute with our desires the legitimacy of our actions
