A highlight from IP#499 Gil Bailie The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self on Inside the Pages with Kris McGregor Discerning Hearts podcasts
"Discerninghearts .com presents Inside the Pages, insights from today's most compelling authors. I'm your host, Chris McGregor, and I'm delighted to be joined by Gil Bailey, who is the founder of the Cornerstone Forum and a member of the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars and the College of Fellows of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology. He is the author of God's Gamble, The Gravitational Power of Crucified Love. With Gil Bailey, we go inside the pages of The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self, Recovering the Christian Mystery of Personhood, published by Angelico Press. Gil, thank you so much for joining me. Thank you so much for having me. Pleasure to be here. It was just wonderful being able to dive into the pages of The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self. I found it to be so provocative and also very compelling. It's one of those kind of books that causes you to look at things through different, maybe clear lenses. Does that make sense? Well, I hope so. That flatters me, but that was my intent. It's a complex problem we face, but I tried to lay it out in a way that would be at least interesting to the reader. Now, I should bring out the full name, including the subtitle, The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self, Recovering the Christian Mystery of Personhood. Could you break that open for folks and help them understand why this is such an important subject right now? Well, first of all, before you get to the two, really two halves of the book, the first part, The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self, and the second part, Recovering the Christian Mystery of Personhood. We're in a civilizational crisis, and it's a political and a political crisis, a deep relative to moral and spiritual crisis. And my friend and mentor, Rene Girard, summed up in one of their books when he wrote, No one takes the trouble to reflect uncompromisingly on the enigma of a historical situation here that is without precedent the death of all cultures. Now, that's a sweeping statement, but it's like statements made by Benedict XVI on Balthasar and others. It recognizes the unique depth of the crisis that we've been entering into for a long time. I think one of the key features of this crisis is that we have failed to recognize and do justice to the very thing that sets us apart, sets our human beings apart from the whole created order, namely our religious longing. It's a longing which cannot be extinguished. It's the only question of orienting it towards its fulfillment or squandering it on idols. And in our time as faith has receded, many are eager to reflect before any ideological fraction that promises to relieve the boredom of not having a real collision. So that's the situation we face. And in the first part of the book, I try to draw it out in that chapters are, you know, I'm not an academic. I have a law degree and I never practiced law, but I began reading Western China many, many years ago. So the way to make this crisis intelligible and easy to recognize is I lay it out in chapters where I talk about people like Bob Dylan and Theresa Mitzvah and Flannery O 'Connor and Virginia Woolf and Descartes and Rousseau and Nietzsche and T .F. Eliot and Freud and all these. But in each of these chapters, I try to tease out one of the facets of spiritual crisis. And in the second half of the book, there's an edition on something. I mean, the way to summarize it is from Romano Lardini wrote in the 20th century, a book strikingly entitled The End of the Modern World. And in it, there's something that summarizes the second half of the book. Well, it actually connects the first half and the second half. And I'm going to quote it to you. The knowledge of what it means to be a person is inextricably bound up with the faith of Christianity. An affirmation and cultivation of the personal can endure for a time perhaps after faith has been extinguished. But gradually, they too will be lost. So the knowledge of what it means to be a person inextricably bound up with Christianity came into our vocabulary, our intellectual vocabulary. When Tertullian defined the Trinity as three persons and one God. So the word self and the word person are not only not synonymous, they are antonyms in a way. A person called in sin. The self is an antonymic creature who regards the will and the essential component of this being. And that whole triumph of will to coin a threat, not to coin a threat, but to pick up on Christ, so to say, with Nietzsche and Hitler. We think everything depends on our will. And I don't have a quote in front of me, but in the Casey decision, I think it was 1990, the Supreme Court said in the majority opinion that everyone has a right to use their own reality, to define reality. That's Nietzsche. That's that, of course. Right. But now it's become part of our it's what it's what a lot of people believe. And that's why we have friends, gender nonsense and who knows what else. But you can just make it up as you go along. If it's your reality is entirely up to you to determine by an act of will. And it's unbelievable what comes of that. And what we have to understand is that we are not the world does not conform to our will. We conform to our own. We are called in them. So anyway, the crisis we're living in is a crisis that became cultural with Nancy and Piddler and so on. But now it's become conventional in the sense that triumph of the will is everywhere. It's at one time, of course, and it's degradation of our real person to be a person is to be called in sin. And I think it's imperative we understand the predicament that we're in. And I think that's really important. I think for most in the culture today, for several generations, at the very least, if not many more in that we've never had the types of conversations in our formation, our educational venues about this particular subject. I mean, you spoke of a great friendship you had with Rene Girard, an important figure, philosopher, teacher, Stanford, and some would say a theologian. I know that Bishop Baron referred to him as one day. He may be considered, as he said, a father of modern theology because of what he described as that mimic theory that we as individuals and not necessarily as persons, because there's that distinction between the individual and what it is to be a person. And you knew him very well. That whole understanding of, as some would say, the mimic theory. What are your thoughts about that? Well, it was a great privilege to know him and he dispensed with him for decades. And I think his work will take a while, like all great thinkers. It takes a while to sort itself out. The first take on Girard is that it's all about violence and imitation. And of course, in some way it is. And my first book was all about that. But there's so much more to it. And one of the things I tried in this book is to expand the understanding of Girard's his favorite theologians are the same as mine. It was John Culver II, Benedict, Van Valken, even though Van Valken had some complaints about Rene's early work. And that's before the real theological implications came out in its later book. But he had great affection for John Culver II and especially for Cardinal Ratzinger, Benedict XVI, but also do it again, and so on. So I try to integrate Rene's work with these theologians. And I think it helped fill out a deep Catholic understanding of our crisis. And so I think we're in a difficult situation. But we have been given intellectual and spiritual giant whose work now we can make available to ourselves that would reckon with the predicament we're in. Well, I think that's how Rene Girard and how someone even like a G .K. Chesterton, for example, they were able to challenge them in their early lives when they looked at literature, when they looked at art and those popular cultural icons, those types of works that had deeper meanings to them. And they were able to see certain truths and certain movements and things. And then they came out and then they expressed it, why it touches the human heart in certain ways, either for good or for ill. And they were able to distinguish that. And I think that's the importance of looking at those figures who have a gift for that. And you do that, like you said, whether it's Bob Dylan or it's Flannery O 'Connor or even someone who captures the heart and imagination of the world like a tres. What is it that they're trying to communicate to us in? What is the potential, the beauty, the good, the true, but also the warning that are contained in their expressions of their works? And I think that's what you're trying to do in the book, in each of the many, many chapters that you have on those different type of whether it's literature or it's prose or, again, even in music. And so I think that is a wonderful way to go about it, don't you? You know, I'm so happy you mentioned it because it reminds me of something that I think your listeners might be interested in. It's a way of approaching the situation we're in. von Balfour Jarre, in one of his writings, says to human history after the Christian revelation, consist of a mutual intensification of the yes and no to Christ. Now pause and think about that. History after Christ consists of the mutual intensification of the yes and no to Christ. If that seems to require too much theological sophistication. Bob Dylan said something exactly like that in this 1979 song, God Accured Somebody, in which he said, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you're going to have to bury somebody. So both the theologian and the popular poet listed only two choices. The theologian said it's the yes or no to Christ, and the poet musician said we're going to end up serving either the devil or the Lord. Now where Testament comes in is the Testament said once that if everyone, I'm going to paraphrase him because I think it's a little punchier to say this, like if everyone lived a thousand years they would all die Catholic, which is the paraphrase of what he once said. And the reason is, I would say, he didn't spell it out, I'm going to, if we had a thousand years of experience to look back on, we would realize that all the little choices were made along the way were in some small way the yes or the no to Christ, or the choice between the devil and the Lord. And then we would understand, if we had a thousand years of experience, that the drama of history is the mutual intensification of yes and no to Christ. And the implication that for our time and thought is that as the world becomes more emphatic in its projection of Christianity, we have to become more compelling in our sense of Christ in its church. over spiritual 3000 formation programs and prayers, all available to you with no hidden fees or subscriptions.

We're talking with Gail Bailey, the author of The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self, recovering the Christian mystery of personhood. To understand the importance of what it is to be a person, the Church Fathers didn't use until it was really brought into the context of the Trinity, the three persons, as you pointed out. But what is the Trinity? It's relational. It's a relationship. There's an identity, but it's also in relation. So when Dylan talks about whether you are to serve, you got to serve somebody, it's either going to be the devil or it's going to be Christ. And that entails when you serve, it's going to be relational. You can't get out of it. And to say that I have this individual autonomy all to myself to do and think the way I want to, it's to negate the relationship. And you can't get around that. But yet that's what the culture is implying, isn't it? It is. And one of the things that's lost in that emphasis on self and self -will is the idea and this is involved with our great contribution, the idea of the field drama that we are in, we live dramatically, we're part of a drama that's unfolding and our task is to live and our task is to fulfill the obligation that are incumbent upon us as members of the cast. We have to live in such a way that we ourselves and our loved ones and spreading out for those we know or maybe those of you catch a glimpse of us coming out of the church on Wednesday morning and wonder what the heck are people doing in church on Wednesday morning. Whatever it is, we have an obligation to live in the drama on behalf of Christ in this church in whatever way we can. Whatever our role in life, our vocation in life, our situation, there's always an opportunity to be an icon of Christ and to contribute to the historical field drama that way. And for years I've quoted the 13th century Islamic poet Rumi who said, and I'm gonna quote, he said, be like one who when he walks into the room, luck shifts to the one who needs you. And there's a Christian analog to that which is of course St. Peter who said always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks here to give a reason for the hope you have. So we have to be beacons of a hope that may be totally puzzling to others but if we live in such a way that it's compelling, they will at some point want to find out how we tend to have that hope and a conversation can be had that could be very fruitful. So we live dramatically, not in some self -conscious way or in a physical way, but our lives should be evangelical in the sense that we should be willing and eager to allow anyone who cares to know why it is we had hope even when the situation is, it's never hopeless, but is dire as there is today and may very well be more so in the future.

"Did this happen? And especially the regional banks, even though, again, I pointed out just the percentage waiting of what SVB would do to that entire index if it sold off 60%. But are we imputing a bad securities portfolio on a lot of these regionals, but how about the biggest banks with the best balance sheets in the world? Yep, no, you're right. And I think what the market is worried about is, you know, as you guys talked about with the employment numbers coming tomorrow, we have to make sure the Federal Reserve gets this inflation under control. And if we're sitting here in 6 months and inflation is still at 5 6%, we're not going to see a terminal rate of 5.5 and a half percent. Therefore, if rates go up much higher than these bond problems become more of a problem for everybody, but we have to remember that the banks are not forced to sell these bonds. Most of these are governments and agency bonds and they are not credit risk, but you need the funding that right side of the balance should write it out and the money senators can. Two legends in one night. Tyler Matheson and Gerard Cassidy. So I want to take you down memory lane Gerard if you allow me to September 17th, 2019, we don't talk about it. We probably don't need not talk about it, but the overnight repo market blew up and I'm choosing that word. And there's some signs out there that maybe the reverse repo market, my question to you is that to me was the beginning of what we saw subsequently in 2020. Any concerns in the repo market and what it might be telling us. Guy night and thank you for your compliments. I would say not yet. Certainly we're watching it carefully. You know how large the reverse repo market has become with the Federal Reserve doing what it's doing by paying higher rates of deposit there, but so far it seems to be pretty much under control compared to what you said in 2019. Now, I'll go back a little further if you go back to 1980. This is the problem that the savings banks had in New York City is exactly what you sort of say with Silicon Valley. Who's got to comment on an idea here, Jeff, jump in. Yeah, so my comment would be that I totally agree with what girard is saying relative to the dynamics of all of this. I mean, I think it's more of a macroeconomic issue more broadly for the banks versus something here that's going to translate to some problem across all of them and I do think that today was a little bit of an overreaction. I guess what I would want to know from Gerard is thinking about the macro economy going forward, how do you think that then translate into bank performance more broadly outside of what we're talking about today? Broad credit exposure, things of that nature. Jeff, Jeff, if you put your thumb right on it, it really, this is today, it was unfortunate. But it will get through this, in my opinion. And it's really all about credit. Every time we've gone through a credit cycle, if it turns out to be really bad, that's when the bank suffered the most. We all remember O 8 O 9, 1990 was another tough one. O one not as much. But this is the key part about this inflation number because if the fed has to continue to raise the fed funds rate to 7, 7 and a half, maybe 8% because they can not get inflation under control. We will go into a hard landing. That means bigger credit problems. So to your point, that is the macro call. We're not there. We're not suggesting that. We think they're going to get to the terminal rate at 5. We'll get somewhat of a soft recession. The other thing too is that since the financial crisis, the banks have to go through this stress test every year, which is extremely difficult. So our banks and I think you guys touched on it, they're better capitalized. They have more liquidity and credit is very strong. And so when it comes, they'll be able to weather the storm, but that is that is what we're watching. Right now, we're not ready to jump off the ship on the banks to say get out of them because in credit, that's too early, but that is what we are watching. Gerard, thank you so much for being with us. Always a delight and you're fire looks so warming

"Really how they're looking at that after we saw some positive news in the wage growth number, but we still have this underlying strength that could ultimately filter in the services prices and maybe turn what I just said on inflation last had a bit. Hey, Tim, you know, I'm an equity person, so I'm used to seeing declines of 20% on any given year that's called a bear market, but boy in a fixed income space in 2022, those were negative returns like have never been seen before. So in my simple analysis, I figured I'm jumping into the deep end of the pool and just buying every Bond I could find. I can't get any worse. What do you think of my analysis there? Well, I think on the fixed income side, there's definitely a lot of opportunity. As you look across various sectors, you are finding value in the long end and then I think there's a good case to have some exposure there if the hedge, what a hard landing might look like. On the short end, it's relatively anchored with what federal funds expectations look like and we may not see that sort of asymmetric or season even more symmetric return profile this year. I think it's going to be a little bit more asymmetric. And then you start looking around in credit both investment creation shows that it has some value. I think in the short end, high yield attractive, just very high side of things is looking as you go down quality a little bit, yield to maturities up in the high single digits, low double digits. So I guess I'm not going to be pushing back too much against your shotgun approach, but there's definitely a lot of value in the fixed income side of things, especially relative to equities right now. And our recent positioning and our core theme as we head into the years, really trying to long good carry slumping of our exposure to the credit, those on the investment grade and below, investment grade side of things since the fall rates not will not nearly be as high as we've seen in prior recessionary cycles. But also building up in quality and bumping up that treasury exposure, especially on the long end of sort of hedge our bets. Just in the credit side of things, if we were to do a recessionary environment poll, that's a bit more severe than more abstraction. All right, Tim, good stuff. Appreciate it. Tim Chubb, he is executive vice president CIO of girard. That is a wealth division of univers giving us his thoughts. I think the fix that comes space, you know, I'm going to tell Mike at his start looking for some bonds out there. I mean, you know, you can't 13, 14, 15% declines across most of the fixed income space in 2022. And these guys come in and tell us, we've never seen this before. I mean, the world's not coming to an end. Twice a bond. I mean, I couldn't agree more from someone who has absolutely no knowledge about any of those works. That's exactly right. I mean, in my opinion, because of the matter, but yeah, it makes a lot of sense and you're seeing yields, the likes of which we haven't seen really in this generation in this past decade. If we see investment grade yields that are giving you 6 or 7% or more, that sounds great to me. I mean, you look at just the two year treasury 4.16%. We were obviously up at 4.5%. T bills.

And that's why it is likely that they came across some of these other documents. And yesterday he announced to the world that he had a Corvette in this garage in which they were found, which the public wouldn't have known about that otherwise. They just would have known they were found at his house, but he kind of gave the press some more details. So this is an unfolding story. We'll stay on top of it and we appreciate you coming here, Jody. Jody Schneider, she does all the political stuff for Bloomberg radio TV news. She is our go to person down in D.C.. Looking at the markets here, kind of Dow actually turned a little bit positive here. The S&P off about two tenths of 1%. So coming off of the lows we had in the futures market and the open of the market today. So coming off those bottoms, let's check in with Timothy Chubb, executive vice president and CIO at girard to get his thoughts on these markets, Tim. Thanks so much for joining us here. What are you telling your clients here as we kind of get into 2023 after what was a brutal 2022 both in equities and fixed income, really no place to hide there. What are you telling your clients these days? Yeah, good morning, and thanks for having me. I think this year is a bit of a level set and it's really talking about the transition that we expect to take place where we will likely see some of the inflation worries give banks or completion items and kind of get worried some of the growth concerns that we have and just how severe this acceleration of the global economy will look and the last week or so we've seen data I guess on both sides of the Atlantic that is amazing fairly confusing for just how severe that acceleration in the first half of 2023 will look, but ultimately the central banks will see their I think cycle will ensure and then will likely see a little bit more of a natural environment between stocks and bonds as far as correlations are concerned and not just be that one way train that we saw for the better part of 2022. So base case is somewhat cautious. But I think as we've seen economic data come out here in the last couple of weeks, I think there's been a growing voice in the back of our minds as investment committee members that maybe a soft landing is possible as the markets have priced in thus far this year. Yes, it does look like people have gotten much more optimistic. And the fed has come out and said, well, we only have to do 25 at the next meeting, at least three speakers, not Powell, obviously. But does that also make you more sanguine that they're calming down? Yeah, I think what we've seen after the news on CPI prone is that investors are really moving past inflation. We've got I think a pretty good case for is a move gradually towards that three to 4% number this year with using good supply constraints, peak and sheltered inflation, which we haven't seen necessarily come through in the data yet, but it will slower wage growth, which has been phenomenal to see, and as you just mentioned in the lead in lower inflation expectations from consumers, we really haven't seen long-term inflation expectations too much higher than anchored, which is really good news for that self controlling prophecy for not happening. And then lower commodity prices and so you add all that together and I think we're able to move past sort of the inflation narrative maybe it's a little premature to say. But I definitely think we're starting to see, I guess, the focus for maybe shift towards the growth side of things, although the strength in labor markets still really persistent. And the interesting to see from the fed officials in the coming weeks

"The defense of assistance. Who are they getting the message from, what are the techniques we're coaching this week? How who's correcting these guys? What are we doing? And so to me, that's what it looked like on film, that there was a disconnect there, like, because all of the units, for example, and this is something I keep meaning to bring up that I keep forgetting about. The later in the season the Patriots went, one of the things that I saw that was concerning to me and specific the JC Jackson is he kept looking for the ball early. Whereas if you remember like the 2011 patriots team, a really bad lack of talent defense and almost won a Super Bowl, those guys, whether it was the ravens in the AFC championship game, you know, Sterling more against Lee Evans, I think it was the wide receiver. He's not even looking for the ball. He's playing through the guy playing through his hands, that kind of stuff. JC Jackson, just in the last game against the bills, is, you know, looking back and now he's jumping and he can't reach the ball. And that happened time and time again. And so I think there's a disconnect between who's coaching the coaches who are then coaching the players and making sure everybody's on point. I think that Bill needs to look at this and say, all right, we went through Brian Flores was our defense according to 2018, won a Super Bowl title held the ramps three points. Then it went to girard and Steve in 2019, 2020, 20 21. How did we do? How did we end up in those season? How did we finish? Did we finish strong where we all coached? I don't think they have been well coached. So maybe it's time I think it's time for him to say, all right, enough's enough. It's been three years. Somebody's got to be defensive coordinator. If it's Bill, you know, let us know that you're in charge. And I'm fine with that. I'm more than fine with that. If it's Steve, do that, if it's draw do that. If it's Matt Patricia coming out of the box and getting back on the coaching staff, do that, I just.

And Miami especially because you got the good weather and it's approach to sports town. Nobody cares so much you're winning at the highest level of my end. And then they dealt with some of the NCA bullshit. If you remember and they got cleared of all of it, but it hurt them at that time. They lost some guys that they were going to get in and never showed up at Miami. So Miami to me Lauren egg in his 70s, it's kind of caught up with them. He probably needs to retire soon. Leonard Hamilton. It is 70s. That's the one that's probably the biggest surprise to people this year. They're really down, they've been good, but they've had probes. They do not have pros this year. Yeah, and I think that will bounce back. I think he recruits a too high a level. He's done it for a long time. I think that if you look at it next year that could be back to being Florida state. I don't look at that as a problem. Then you got behaved in his 70s, brings his two kids in this year. I saw him in the preseason and I was like, all right, listen, there are gonna be days when they compete anybody, because they've got three or four elite shooters, Cole swider, finally started to shoot the ball fairly well, but buddy's not shooting it great from three, but his all round game is better. Joe girard, the problem with me, and I said this, if they're not making shots, they can't really put it on the floor. They can't they're not great defensively. They're not athletic. But not athletic.

And also there's a lot of celebrities it's become really trendy to do ping pong and so he opened up that space and he also founded a foundation sport in educational foundation and that is to use ping pong as a way to help people with the early onset dementia and of brain disorders because it helps with your brain connectivity with hand-eye coordination and it allows you to live healthier longer. There's a lot of studies especially in japan on this and he was very passionate about it and so he's working both in in the sound dacian as well as in his training and he met are under bernard in in the tennis center he loves playing ping pong and he's designer comes from the three d. background experiential design the multifaceted design background and they just started talking and they said you really want to do an auction for the sporting educational foundation. And this was in two thousand eleven. And they said what's out like. What can we make this really cool and that we could auction reflector and spiderman was really popular in one of the actors from spiderman would come play ping pong and so they were able to connect with marvel comics with sony entertainment and get a permission to design like a really crazy Spiderman table and they had a stanley be downer creators of spiderman. Come and sign the table approved and it was a really fun. Collaborative effort with these companies to create something cool and collector overseas purchase. The table and the money went to the foundation. And i think they thought okay. Maybe this isn't like that was a really cool project and then people started saying. Oh wow this is like we can meek like custom. Table know usually. It's just a traditional table. The horlick middle legs and caustic top. It's not very exciting. When you're looking at putting it in your home you wanted to really make sense in your space. And people started coming to them so for four to five years from two thousand eleven. Two thousand sixteen. They were doing just small production so it was like high profile clients really specific projects and it was cool. it's like a relief thriving project and then after those few years. They decided you know. We really want to open up this to a larger market and everything still built los angeles where we built out our production and have created like international shipping and installation. You need to have professional installers in order to really build the table because you can't ship it all on key and to make sure that it's level playing surface and there's technical aspects of that so they've really built out as a company and really want to create things that are innovative sculptural pieces but also the highest quality so it's it's for entertainment For the art for the interior on. It's it's for the game player so it's like everybody gets the highest quality for their for their use of the table. What are the things that i think is really interesting because my background in broadcast and specifically sports in sports marketing having worked for nascar. Nba nfl major league baseball I loved the the sports and design aspects. Also think it's really interesting. The celebrity endorser and the celebrity connection to this. The company has really taken advantage of that. And i think it's something that designers can look at that idea of the connection in the endorser. The talent behind the product to really galvanize the point in the message behind what it is it tell me about that philosophy of how they've ruled that out because you have a lot of big names behind this yes absolutely so we're building on a league actually not just athletes but artists fashion designers collaborators. Who are going to create tables with us and find that working at collaborating with partners. Collaborated with rolls royce. Joined tables for rolling stone like luxury brands. Unique people have a vision of their own and do something cool that working with them inspires us anything. It also opens up both companies to cross promotion meeting audiences as it opens your anything. It opens our minds as creatives so lot of this. Collaboration actually originally organically are. I kinder micro. He knows a lot of people and through his background and ping pong in the sports world started connecting with athletes with with the table tennis centre with actors as people really find to do something just like the first table with the spiderman table and so he met. Stephen girard actually leave when his home. He didn't even know he was going there. He was helping him install a table and we started talking and steven was liking. I really love Cool design like. I really love the people out there. That are amazing and we started talking. Seen this company called eleven raymond's and they love what they do. He was just installing a traditional table tennis table and both like. Oh i'm i'm the founder of that company and then they started talking. They're like i love you. Do you know. Stephen girard's famous soccer player in europe. And we're like. What can we do something fun together. So it tends to happen organically. It's through relationship. That a lot of our collaborations have begun. And we're just launching now Wayne gretzky table this year. And we're making a limited edition of five so that was Through a again another organic relationship and connection in the sports world where we are both passionate about something and we wanted to find a way to work together and it happens naturally so for us. That's really important is just the natural relationships involved in this too that we don't want to just gimmicky ian. Go out there and do something. We wanted to be like. Something again connected with our collaborators. Funny that you mention that. It's it's phenomenal to. Because you're collaborations are with non table. Tennis players with kobe bryant and stephen girard and wayne gretzky and you know you've got skateboarders designers and artists and musicians. What an interesting way dynamic way of getting this particular brand out into the into the public space because table tennis professionally is not is not a popular sport in states. It is from players perspective but clearly. It's not a. It's not a tv sport but how phenomenal because from from a recreational standpoint get his. It is so popular in one of the things that we learned through this whole pandemic. I mean last april or may just try to get a ping pong table or try against so now to take that idea and to elevated to to such a high level. I think is really cool. There are other products as well. So you've got the shuffleboard table. You've got dennis. What else do you do. We billiards poker. Blackjack snooker shuffleboard. At league tables we tables for like four people card games so people purchase them for chess. Checkers backgammon Do air hockey's really kind of any game you can think of. We probably table for it. And we're always open to innovating for clients if a client comes to us with something that we maybe haven't done before we're.

"So that's part of what's happening. I mean so you know again. We're we are now able to kind of look at ourselves and say oh my gosh. I mean he was innocent. There was nothing about him that would justify our reaction this way to jesus and yet again we as humanity. This is how we reacted why. Why did we behave this way. And i think one of them was fascinating sort of keys to understanding walking. This is the guy name rene jarrar. D- came upon this theory of what he calls. Medic desire mimetic rivalry. How mimetic desire leads us to conflict and war and diane to scapegoat other other people. And it's a very complicated thing. I i have an entire chapter in the book on this but but big to simply just explained the simplest terms. I may be terms. The christian audience can draw address lines to connect some dots to gerard points. Out about how this mimetic desire is is really exposed in the ten commandments. That the ten commandments are actually affirming. That this is exactly right. That part of humanity's biggest problem stems from our desiring. This is our means. Desiring things that other people desire in other words are not our own. We desire what other people around us desire. So it's a collective kind of thing and so the ten commandments addresses. This problem in the ten commandments. Shine a light on the fact that you know. We desire neighbor's wife. We desire we want to commit adultery. We decide we wanna steal somewhere to stealing. Well you haven't. It's yours. But i want it so i take it then helps romantic desire. Even do not kill i mean is is still addressing because this mimetic desire. I want something you got it. There's a struggle oriented. I decided to kill. You can take something that belongs to you and we see it happening. Even for example that happens with king david wright he sees that sheba he desires worry kills her husband and takes her all. These things are examples of desire so the ten commandments. Affirm that rene girard is correct that there is a there's a there's a deep embedded thing in humanity that is expressed this way and it's an for many of its unconscious not even aware of it that we're doing it and so but anyway it's there and the but the problem with the commandments. Is that it only says. Hey ron this is your problem. Stop doing it but the problem is we can't stop doing it because this is in our dna. This is who we are at our core. We cannot stop mimicking the desires people. So it's good to know that yes. This is struggle but it's not helpful because it just don't do it. It doesn't say how how we can prevent doing. And here's where the beautiful things that jesus does and affect this. I think is one of the ways that jesus quote unquote saves us pro our sin because if our santa's expressed in this being slave to this medic that that is within all.

And we weren't ready and we didn't answer the bell. And for some reason, the Golden Knights figured us out defensively. They figure this out, and that's the end of the whole story. They did show an interesting um They showed an instructor. Interesting thing in the first period of the game that you may not have seen, But they showed what what The strategy was of the Golden Knights that their second their defenseman, touch the puck. All of the forwards immediately are making their way to the other zone. So that isn't an easy get that puck up the ice.

"Have that group of the baiters of students that he would have bible studies with debated with that eventually kind of started in. At least in switzerland started that anna baptist movement in the this movement started up several places almost at the same time but if he didn't encourage a space for debate. Yeah it would have looked differently and at the same time the reaction to the anna baptist. Right away oh. We want debate but you go too far. We still have to do this to be safe to be saved from government influence or to be saved from this. So it's fascinating. This interplay between the safety of group thing moving away into spaces of debate but then trying to find that safety again. And that's kind of where i find myself here. Part of me thinks yeah. We need to have unanimous belief on some things and we need to have lots of debate on things but there's a danger of only ever debating and never moving together on anything and even when you were talking about that when thinker that came to mind was the ideas of rene girard but one of the things he said was that part of the power of christianity comes from self criticism comes from looking critically at our culture and growing and becoming something different so south evaluation right and i think perhaps that's that's also helpful way of engaging life in general i mean to me that's part of what it means to be emotionally. Intelligent is to have a certain level of self chrismas more self evaluation and how you respond to others how you respond to the world how you respond to your faith and how you know all all those kinds of things right when we can have that level of self criticism i think we move forward and continually interrogating things that we do and say and belief are healthy as long as we still have a place of safety from which to stand to jump off that that's always my that's always my thing so somebody who doesn't pace safety to jump off for for that person displays of self criticism.

That knows more about street photography than than or has forgotten more about it than i probably will ever know about street photography. We're gonna dive into that a little bit as well as what. It's like shooting in and around new york city now and before pandemic all that stuff going to talk about gear all this stuff so gerard. Welcome to the show man. How's it going very well. Glad to be here. Yeah it is good to hear man. I'm excited to chat. So we've got you know. The the john mara of photography. And then this genre of let's call it of photojournalism or that that world of shooting. What's the difference. What's the difference between street photography. And that i think that in journey with photo journalism you tend to think in terms of projects. Not just one image. You know a a series of images that tell a complete story and i think with straight photography. is generally just one image. Okay okay has got to tell the story one at a time. So let let's rewind back to the time to. Let's let's do origin story thing so cue. The flashback so the origin story of girard. Where what was that moment where you knew that. Okay i feel like. I need to be taking pictures of this. This amazing city. I live in well on my planet. We didn't really have photography. And when i came to earth. And i'm sorry all right more and you know it's funny. It's the only thing i've ever wanted to do since As far back as i can remember one of my earliest memories of my father staying his role affleck's in my hand. While i took the first picture took and which was a ship underneath the verrazano bridge and it just stuck in my mind. He passed away about a year after that. And you know. I it just all these feelings about photography and loss. Let's say i don't know all came together. And i just knew that this is the direction i wanted to go. Yeah yeah and it's a good direction. It's the world photography from my standpoint on of you agree with this but it's it's equal parts. Geeky ray is we like the technology and all that stuff and then it psychology you when you're dealing with the public and trying to get the right shot or get the shot or permission to do the shot and the you know the all of this stuff in between psychology science physics wrapped up into the time machine that we call a camera to fast forward to now the president or the recent the recent present. Let's call it like this last this past five five or so years me decade your adventures in and around new york city. The i can't imagine being a street photographer. There for just an extended period of time when i'm there is overload. It's just like what. Do i take pictures of two months. It's too much going on you get analysis paralysis. What would have been some of the standout experiences you've had in city over the past decade or so that you like okay. I got to tell this bar story. Wow pick were got to pick one. I think defining Well this is. It's further back than ten years but sure for for the finding event was i was involved in a robbery and a camera store. And it's a long story but rather traumatic thing. Somebody was killed and and i got roughed up a little bit and it was it was. It wasn't pleasant. But it was. After that i i realized well putting yourself out there making yourself vulnerable and taking pictures strangers asking or you know. I don't think covertly taking pictures of people is for me. It's just not right so if you're going to ask or you're just going to be obvious bat it you've got to put yourself out and up until that point I didn't know what i was expecting to happen but After that i figured well. What's the worst that can happen. I already found out what the worst that can happen. And it really It helped me in. Maybe be taught me to be very aware of my surroundings almost in a comfortable way though. So that okay. Let's not ever forget. I've gone into situations where drug dealers on a corner. And i was taking a picture of this house that was closed and abandoned actually in patterson not beard city paterson new jersey which is really exciting. We've got a water tower waterfall. There you go and a crappy movie was made by. Jim jarmusch bad it. It lasts two years ago and any case so i am standing there taking pictures and You know. I hear this guy walking up to me and it was interesting because there were like three. Get two or three guys on each corner but not the corner i was on the house was and i'm i'm taking pictures and i hit. This guy comes up behind the camera up to my eye. And i can hear him. I'm aware of him and he said. Hey what are you doing. I told them flat out. I'm taking pictures of buildings that have been foreclosed on You know and properties that have been abandoned families that have gone kicked out. And what have you. And he goes off and you know then he goes How much do you think they want that house i should. Oh i don't know but whatever it is going to be pretty cheap

"Can you imagine if i said to you like him on. What's phony us and he goes. I use a an lg swimming. Something do you use the little wayne's got one and got no no no like you don't choose your phone.

We you know you're describing. Rene girard is one of those writers that i love. Reading is very dense but one of the things he talks about is mimetic desire. That human beings don't actually know what to want and so what they do is they look like what are other people pointing at and looking at and whatever they're pointing up towards then that means if i get i get what other people want and therefore i keep moving up and so it's it's a fascinating thing to think of a club. Promoter has basically the the peddler of mimetic desire its collective effervescence is the reason that people go to the nightclub and then it is. It's that Is that mimetic desire. Because i've seen businesses the worth hundreds of thousands of pounds a year not events a weekly friday night. Let's say and they're put in two and a half thousand people in a week and they make around about one hundred to two hundred grand a year bottom line profit walk home and went in three weeks. They've gone from being the biggest thing in town to shut because the bigger kula near club just opened round the corner and not business goes kaput. Like can you imagine if some sung bring out a good new tv and that means the lg stops selling. Tv's has to sell up shop like that's just not how it works but Yeah it's a it's a really unique industry mind. And then when it comes to the dominance hierarchy stuff you have to think like why why are people following the guys at the top. Which because they party harder they drink more. They've got more followers on instagram or twitter or facebook. They write more outlandish status..
