Understanding Gérard & Building A Portfolio Of Careers with Johnathan Bi

Johnathan Bi is on the founding team of Lonsdale Investment Technology, a financial technology startup. He is launching a 7-part lecture series on René Girard, a French philosopher who posited a theory that rivalry, imitation (mimesis), and scapegoating mechanism govern human interaction and history, and how Girard’s Mimetic Theory impacts the contemporary world. A recent graduate of Columbia University in Philosophy and Computer Science, Bi is also writing a book on the intersection of Girardian social theory and Buddhist phenomenology.
