David Gornoski on the Hypocrisy of Jennifer Aniston, Old Gods Reborn as Political Correctness - A Neighbor's Choice

Jennifer Aniston recently remarked that it's "irresponsible" to vote for Kanye while proclaiming her vote for Biden based on women's rights.

What's Left for the Left? - A Neighbor's Choice

"The American left should work toward abolishing the Constitution someday—either for a new document or a new democratic order without a written constitution." This was written in a column for the New Republic. David analyzes this statement and points to the lack of any real vision on the Republican side as well as the alarming views held by many on the left. "What is left for the left?" David asks. The left has nothing to offer. At this point, they are all for victim-garbed totalitarian control and censorship. How do we move past the left's victimist authoritarian ways and get down to solving real issues and defend real victims? The key, David says, lies in the imitation of Christ.

The Revolt Against Differentiation and the Normalization of Violence - A Neighbor's Choice

David Gornoski addresses the prevalent postmodern critique of traditional values such as the family, gender roles, and chivalry. "It's a rebellion against nature, against boundaries. Differentiation becomes evil and violence becomes passé." David argues that political correctness is not just an "idea" but also a religious movement that has, in some sense, rightly identified social imbalances. The question is: what are those imbalances and how do we address them? Listen to the full episode to find out and more.

What is Critical Race Theory? James Lindsay, Michael Rectenwald Roundtable

Michael Rectenwald, author of Beyond Woke, and mathematician James Lindsay, author of Cynical Theories, join David Gornoski to address a certain subject that was brought up during the presidential debate by Chris Wallace, namely Critical Race Theory. What is this ideology that has crept into the universities? James Lindsay says, "this ideology that we're up against today has cherry picked from the critical theory tradition, from the postmodern tradition, liberal traditions of social justice, [and] liberalism itself to concoct a rather horrifying totalitarian ideology that we've worked backwards to explain." Is Critical Race Theory just racial sensitivity training as Wallace claimed? Michael Rectenwald says it goes further than just that. "Rather than seeing race as one aspect of society... it sees race as an all-determining totality that reaches into every aspect and informs all experience." How does this ideology shape the human psyche? Why does it exclude the need for evidence and logic? How do we tackle this ideology? How can we formulate a genuine alternative to Critical Race Theory that deals with real injustice and helps real victims? Listen to the full podcast to find out.

Why are the masses falling prey to a media that acts as the establishment's PR front?

The Apocalyptic Fallout from Biden-Trump Debate - A Neighbor's Choice

As expected, nothing of value was discussed in the Trump-Biden debate. David Gornoski points to how the mainstream media's twisted narrative was well represented by Chris Wallace's woeful moderating. How will this debate impact our subconsciousness that identifies with the visuals? Will there ever be a discussion of real solutions, like curing cancer and other diseases, on the political stage? All the status quo cares about is getting rid of the heretic that has managed to gain control of the highest seat in the country. Listen to the full episode for David Gornoski's breakdown of the debate and what must be done to escape this neverending mimetic crisis of blame-shifting.

Biden vs Trump: Battle of the Scapegoat Stories - A Neighbor's Choice

David Gornoski resumes his exposition of the election media coverage that has mostly focused on Trump's taxes but has failed to mention anything about Biden and Harris' record of warmongering and locking up non-violent offenders.

What can't we expect from the debate? We won't hear about any real solutions like too-cheap-to-meter energy, ketogenic nutrition to counter diseases, and other voluntary market-based innovations.

THINGS HIDDEN 21: Jean-Michel Oughourlian Interview

In this Things Hidden conversation, David Gornoski and Shannon Braswell are joined by Jean-Michel Oughourlian, psychologist and author of 'The Mimetic Brain.' Oughourlian starts the discussion with an insider's perspective as Girard's collaborator and how he found breakthroughs in the field of psychotherapy upon studying mimetic theory. "The mirror neuron is something fantastic," Oughourlian remarks, "because if you experiment, if you put a CT scan or PET scan on your own head and mine, and I'm drinking a glass of water, and you are on the other side of the Atlantic just looking at me, in both our brains the same regions will be activated the same way. In other words, whether I do the action or whether you look at it, the brain functions the same way--it mirrors what I'm doing." How does this discovery relate to the right and left-hemisphere brain study by Iain McGilchrist? How has mimetic theory helped Jean-Michel Oughourlian in the field of psychotheraphy? "What I try to do when I see a patient is not so much find out what he is suffering from but to find out who he is suffering from. In other words, who is his rival," Oughourlian states, "This becomes extremely tricky because some people look like friends but they are your enemies, some other people you think are your enemies but they are friends, they want to help." Is mimetic theory connected to physics? What is consciousness, or more precisely, how does consciousness function? Since we're all compelled to imitate, how should we select our role models?
