How Not to Apply Rene Girard to Current Events, Tho Bishop, Dr Yu - A Neighbor's Choice LIVE 9-2-21

David Gornoski starts the episode by deconstructing a misinterpretation of Rene Girard's mimetic theory and explaining how we can avoid further misinterpretations. Is it possible to be exposed to Girard's work and still scapegoat others? What are the latest Orwellian revelations coming out of Australia? Are parents finally standing up for their children against tyrannical restrictions? Also in the show, Dr. Weiping Yu, the chief science officer of A Neighbor's Choice, joins David Gornoski for another exciting segment of Science and U. The physicist comments on the claim that scientists have discovered the secret of wireless charging and whether the universe was really created through a big bang. Plus, the Mises Institute's Tho Bishop calls in to talk about Joe Rogan's daring to go against establishment medicine; the media parroting of "dewormer;" the big corporation monopoly on medicine; the recent abortion restriction in Texas; and more.
