Geoff Shullenberger is back for another fantastic episode. Geoff is one of the leading scholars on French philosopher Rene Girard. For this episode, we explore Girard's ideas and why they are important. We discuss the implications for the "New Right"; how Girard's ideas are becoming more popular; religion mapping to Girard's ideas; Christianity, Judaism, and Violence; growing out of your Ayn Rand phase, and much more.
Geoff is the Managing Editor of Compact Magazine, a teacher, a thinker, and an important influence on many leading figures in Silicon Valley and beyond.

I interview Jennifer Schulp, director of financial regulation studies at the Cato Instituteâs Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives. She focuses on the regulation of securities and capital markets. She has testified before Congress multiple times, including before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services, and the Committee on House Administration.
We discuss regulatory land grabs and mission creep, why ESG is terrible branding, crypto as a store of value for electricity, fractional reserve banking, payment for order flow, and how to protect investors from themselves. This is a wide-ranging conversation with a true expert in the field. Highly recommended.

Hello, my bubelahs, and happy Thanksgiving! This week we have a lot to cover, including:
The FTX blow up. We have a lot of detail here, including the supposed polycule. Where did the money go? How come the mainstream press has been so gentle to FTX? Does it have to do with the CEOâs political alignment? His donations? All the good FTX news has broken on Twitter. And Twitter under Elon is more fun than ever. He is doing a great job. The World Cup is fun to watch! Disney has a new (old) CEO. I donât think he was so incredible the first time around, Iâm not sure why all the hype that he is back. The LSAT is gone at a lot of top schools. We discuss standardized tests as part of a strategy for racial discrimination.Remember that The Lee Show is a crowdfunded project that depends on your support.

On this weekâs podcast, I had the privilege of speaking with Geoff Shullenberger. Geoff is a teacher at NYU and an accomplished author and thinker. He is one of the worldâs leading experts on the work of Rene Girard. We had a far-ranging discussion covering:
What is the new right? What does conservatism mean now? Ayn Rand as the intellectual ancestor of everyone on the ânew rightâ. The David Pogue article in Vanity Fair â itâs a very important piece. JD Vance and compassionate individualism Christopher Rufo and his anti-CRT crusade Anti-partisanship The firing of Felicia Sonmez at the Washington Post Elite Overproduction â is there such a thing and is this theory credible? The myth of scarcity Rene Girard, mimicry, social contagion, and transgender kids And much moreI highly recommend listening to the whole thing, I learned a lot from Geoff and I think he is a great intellectual.
You can find Geoffâs writing on his blog Outsider Theory and in Compact Magazine as well as on Twitter.
