The Violence Inherent in the System (And the Path Out) GodArchy 25

Come see the violence inherent in the system!

You've may have seen the famous Monty Python scene from the Quest for the Holy Grail where Dennis shouts that line as King Arthur roughs him up. The bit is pretty funny, but also poignant. Because it does often seem the system is inherently violent, doesn't it?

And it doesn't matter which system it is. Violence seems to be cross-cultural and even ritualized.

The work of historian, literary critic, and anthropological philosopher René Girard sheds light on this seemingly ubiquitous violence. He work revolves around two ideas - mimetic theory and scapegoat theory.

Libertarian entrepreneur, speaker, and writer David Gronoski has studied Girard's work extensively and applied it to our modern world. As David puts it on A Neighbor's Choice website, "Jesus offers a way of life not only for personal transformation but also a roadmap for how our neighborhoods and nations should be socially ordered."

In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, I talk to David about mimetic desire, how that leads to scapegoating, how Jesus breaks the cycle of systemic violence and how we can apply these ideas in our modern world.

Tank Man GodArchy 24

In this episode, I talk with Robert Anthony Peters, writer and director of the Tank Man film.

You've probably seen the iconic image of the man standing defiantly in front of a line of Chinese Army tanks in Tiananmen Square. Nobody knows who that man was or what happened to him. The Tank Man film dramatizes the hours leading up to that historic moment. In this interview, we not only talk about the film, but the broader ramifications of that day. We also chat a little about the current situation in Hong Kong.

Identity Politics and Race: GodArchy 23

Race has become one of the most dominant issues in American politics. In my view, both sides of the political debate get it wrong. In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, I explore the issue of race and identity politics from both a biblical and political perspective. Ultimately, I believe racial politics is used as a tool to divide us and empower government. Racism is real, but politics isn't going to fix that.

Episode 74: Q&A #1

For this episode of The Gold Standard with Alan Mosley we take on viewer questions ranging from "what would President Mosley do" to "is ice water a soup?"

Episode 73: The Epstein Episode

With the recent news of Jeffrey Epstein's "suicide," Alan finally takes the time to share his thoughts on the whole case. In truth, this is very little about Epstein and more about criminal justice (or a lack thereof), conspiracy, and always remembering that lying liars lie.

Black Guns Matter GodArchy Podcast 22

In this episode, I talk with Black Guns Matter cofounder Maj Toure. Black Guns Matter is an organization that educates people in urban communities about the Second Amendment through firearms training. But it's not just about arming people up. The organization places a heavy emphasis on conflict resolutions. Maj and I talk about the organization, the politics of firearms, self-defense, the importance of conflict resolution and the idea of self-ownership. We also touch more generally on racial politics.

"I don't really care if you think my life matters. I know my life matters. And my black gun will protect my life."

Episode 72: Never Call the Cops

This week Alan and Blake avoid talking about recent mass shootings or gun control debates because, you know, they never end. Instead, Alan shares several news stories of people being murdered by the police during "welfare checks," and implores viewers to never call the cops.
