I was shocked to see the title of the episode about miracles, but then based on the first minute, I thought perhaps Jonathan was playing along. Could not believe my ears with the ridiculous childish conversation that ensued. Do you want a reputation for all the nonsense that that guy was spewing? Two words…. Randi prize. Look it up. It was never claimed and if this guy was half true there would’ve been hundreds of people claiming the million dollars. What a waste of time in brain power listening... more
We’ve heard it and thought it many times that modernity has been throwing out the baby with the bath water. Bi is fantastically finding the baby and and trying to save him. So should you.
Very enjoyable series on Girard. Well structured and engaging - thank you :-)
This is a very comprehensive overview of Girard’s work. You use plenty of relevant, real-life examples to show how useful and important it is to understand Girard’s theory. This is fine at an academic level, so some may get lost with some of the ideas, but it is worth listening to it several times. Thank you very much and I highly recommend this!
