I'm a fan of Girard and have also been against IP laws for a few decades, I agree that ideas are not property, you can however keep possession of your ideas, by not putting them out, were they can end up in MY head. In other words you own your head and so long as the ideas remain within, they are yours and yours alone.
Society if not helped in the slightest by IP laws, they are a good way to create stagnation.
Have you come across David Gornoski from "A Neighbor's Choice"? He's a huge Girard Fan, I was on his podcast a few times, you would make a great guest and vice versa. https://aneighborschoice.com/
An early reader of my book mentioned Rene Girard to me, and when I didn't know who that was, he pointed me to David Gornoski. David and I connected over the winter, and he invited me to his podcast to talk about my book. I wrote about it here at Substack (and the link to the podcast episode is in the article): https://goodneighborbadcitizen.substack.com/p/can-you-resist-utopia-and-escapism
Share a link to one of your episodes, if you have the link handy!
Not sure if either of this will play for you, hopefully at least one will. The shows I did with him were up on youtube as well but they nuked his channel and he had to start over after covid.

I was able to listen to the show with your segment from April 7, 2020. Ah, to revisit the early days of the #COVIDHoax! :-D
