Hidden Gods: Meaning, Lacan, & Gnosticism

It’s our fav returning guest….Deacon Jon. Plus, Jason has guest host Nic Laccetti back to grill this guy. Jon shares insights from his recent academic paper exploring the intersections between ancient Gnostic theology, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and critical theory. The discussion delves into how these three distinct frameworks offer complementary perspectives on human desire, lack, and our relationship with modern market systems. Jon explains how Gnostic myths about divine wisdom and separation resonate with Lacanian concepts of psychoanalytic lack and desire, while offering fresh perspectives on how these ideas apply to contemporary life. The conversation takes an interesting turn when examining how these combined frameworks can help us understand modern market systems as a kind of deity that shapes human consciousness and behavior. Rather than simply critiquing capitalism or promoting a return to some imagined “true self,” we explore how Gnostic thought might offer more nuanced ways to understand and navigate our relationship with markets and desire.
