  • Turn the Other Cheek

    Turn the Other Cheek
    Jul 1 2024

    Christ's admonitions to turn the other cheek, love thy enemy, etc., from the Sermon on the Mount unsettle many brave Christians. We interpret these admonitions conclusively with the help of René Girard's mimetic exegesis. Take courage soldier! – Jesus does not advocate cowardice or resignation. We also reference C.S. Lewis, and discuss how "love thy enemy" links to Sun Tzu's precepts in The Art of War.

  • The Call of the Political Void

    The Call of the Political Void
    Jun 13 2024
    • L'appel du vide -- the call of the void; or as Nietzsche says, "If you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back at you"
    • A mimetic theory interpretation of the call of the void: inflamed (rather than mortified) desire leads to sadomasochism, leads to an urge to dash ourselves before the terrible and awesome model-obstacle
    • Call of the void in romantic pursuit and poverty (forgot to discuss existentialism and atheism)
    • Call of the void leading to political and ethnic self-harm
