Attend a FREE AevyTV video editing masterclass - https://class.aevytv.com/learn_editingUploaded 24-01-25I'm exploring philosopher René Girard's fascinating theory of mimetic desire - how most of our wants aren't actually our own, but copied from others. From that dream car to your career goals, I'll uncover why you desire what you desire, how these imitated wants create rivalry and conflict, and why social media amplifies these tensions. Learn how society deals with these copied desires and what it means for your own life choices.00:00 - Intro02:08 - Chapter 01 - Mimetic Desire07:15 - Chapter 02 - Scenario08:01- Chapter 03 - Problems14:13 - Chapter 04 - Scapegoat19:38 - Chapter 05 - Religion24:25 - Chapter 06 - Hierarchy26:27 - Chapter 07 - Capitalism Learn more about your ad choices.
