> Anyway, never too late, at least one Stamford documentary on YouTube... Please check him out.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, surely you can share the link with us.

Sorry I thought the Girard Thiel Vance timeline courtesy of Yeats https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43290/the-second-comi... was common knowledge here. I will see myself out now.


You mean "Things Hidden: The Life and Legacy of René Girard | Full Length Documentary"?

Youtube is full of Girard stuff and it's not clear which of the many you were thinking of.


Yes Stanford documentary there is one.

Explain it to me like I'm 5, please?

Life doesn't have an obvious purpose so people tend to pick up on what others around them are into, so may be into social justice, or greed is good, or islam or christianity or whatever.

Then they tend to clash, fight and blame the other group for their problems.

Kids don't really do it but it's why dad has to go bomb the islamists or jihad the infidels or similar.


At 5 you should not be told about mimetic violence, you would not understand.
