  Nothing could be less intellectually fashionable that Rene Girard. His work on Mimetic Desire led him to the Catholic Church and a brazen critique of the intellectual fashions of our time.

  Not so sure. Peter Thiel says his choice to invest in Facebook was based on Girard's work. Any groundbreaking anthropological insight can't help but inform investment.

  How can something be called original or New Economic Thinking when the subject is so intuitively obvious that someone who has never studied economics knows about it. &nbsp;Much ado about nothing.

  I, too, a profoundly foolish and homeless idiot, am familiar with such ancestral registries as those of the “Clash of Civilizations,” “Understanding,” “World,” “Society,” “Difference,” “Relation,” “Trade,” “War,” “Theory,” “Practice,” “Management,” “Prediction,” “Ways,” “Means,” “Jump,” “Structure,” “Whole,” “Part,” “Lead,” “Question,” “Psychology,” “Theology,” “Evolution,” “Apocalypse”…. 👌, “Greeks,” “Literature,” “Modernity,” “Application,” “Celebrity,” “Romance,” “Advertisement,” “Ritual,” “Coinage,” “Media” or “Medium,” “Duke” (120 Days of Sodom anyone?), “Jurisprudence,” “Culture,” “Politics,” “Realpolitik,” (did you mention this? 👌), “Intelligence,” “Cognition,” “Sterilization” (American and German influence anyone?), “Map,” (Dora the Explorer anyone?), 👌👌👌🤫, “Oedipus,” “Force” (Hegel’s nonsense anyone?)… I mean the list goes on and on. You get the Idea. <br><br>Did I mention I am a homeless bum with no formal education and no job? I have nothing and am a complete nobody who, as for the prospects of knowing anything whatsoever, have yet to make any gain in intellectual superiority over my “common” fellows. <br><br>I just laughed to myself and then committed to existentialist rhetorics.

  Perhaps Schopenhauer is correct in his judgment when he identifies the facial snickering and grimacing as being more indicative of intention among sensible men, as distinguished from and in opposition to their timely employment of the concept. Lmao pooooooop <br><br>Try being homeless. I am.
