How René Girard’s ‘Gospel Technology’ Denudes the State, with Guest David Gornoski.
In a riveting intersection of philosophy, theology, and the heart of voluntaryism, David Gornoski unravels ‘Gospel Technology’ – a groundbreaking concept that lays bare the machinations of state power. Drawing from René Girard’s insights, we uncover a revolution in personhood that challenges and dismantles the hierarchies of authority.
Join us on Gracearchy with Jim Babka for a deep dive into reshaping social constructs for a liberated future, including…

We’ve described René Girard as the anthropological inspiration for Gracearchy. We just recently did our most important episode, “René Girard: The Founding of Religion and State.” And now…
Mr. Gornoski, host of A Neighbor’s Choice, is the first commentator we’ve invited on the program to add color and depth to the subject. David shares his testimony as to how he discovered René Girard. He also unpacks Girardian insights such as…
- The true definition of Apocalypse (it’s not cataclysmic destruction).
- Shakespeare’s method of apocalyptic satire.
- The contagious nature of desire, including how societal movements can gain ‘magic energy.’
And David brings his own brand of Girardian analysis to other topics such as…
- The insufficiency of Libertarianism.
- The modern compartmentalization of faith, and its implications for personal and societal ethics.
- The idea that modern ideologies and movements, even those seemingly secular, are deeply influenced by the narrative and ethos of Christ – a concept he calls “the Christ haunted world.”
On top of all that, we have two Gracepoints – ways to use and apply the information found in this rather unique presentation.
Why It Matters
This episode of Gracearchy is more than a mere conversation; it’s a clarion call to dismantle the myths that shackle us and to pioneer governance rooted in dignity and respect. If hidden myths obstruct our path to true freedom, it’s our duty to unveil them.
