Mimetic Monsters

Mosaic Ark by Rachel Fulton Brown, KJ Crilly, Kilts Khalfan, and Mel Wiggin

Episode notes
In the beginning there was... murder? RFB steers the Ark through Girardian Mimetic Rivalry, exploring the dynamics driving human Scapegoating. Flowing across themes from George Floyd to COVID to Cain and Abel to opioid addiction, we unpack the murderous mythology that lays the foundation for civilization. Why do certain events resonate so strongly in the crowd, and is Christ just another human sacrifice like all the others? —Streamed March 15, 2023
