This mimetic desire develops in adolescence and you only become an adult when you try different adult roles That's your first desire, to be an adult

Have to say, this really changed my life A lot of my ambition was driven by this feeling of being never enough and always wanting the next big thing While this has helped me work hard, it has also left me with a poor ability to enjoy life, be grateful, and have a clear sense of who I really am I think the root cause of all of this is not spending enough time knowing what exactly I truly want What is something I am willing to spend my life's work on, even if it will not bring me fame or even if it will fail? What is something that just by the very act of doing it, I enjoy? (Ex: Basketball or writing, even if I suck) After this, I realized a lot of the things I was chasing, weren't even things I liked And rather it was the other small things, building things, writing, sharing my thoughts, connecting with people that truly sparked me long-term joy, and that I could honestly say I chose out of my own free will (though it was probably sparked initially by mimetic desire)

halfway into the book I wouldn't say that it's a theory that holds true most of the time, however, it does provoke a lot of thought, which is probably even better, definitely worth the read

Gerard saw Christ as ultimate source of good mimetic desire Surrender to the real unrestricted virtue or thing —- God See Hamlet “show passes show Good mediators show the real virtuous thing but bad mediators disable and dislocate the real virtue

I love the scape goat topic For instant, so many people blame Musk about his Tweets and many refuse to look in the mirror after they invested on leverage and have to sell their positions at a loss Once things cool off, most will do the same again I guess the cycle is so strong What would it take for the majority to look in the mirror and admit we need to look at the person in the mirror RIP to the King of POP
Comment from : bullrun kryp

Yewww! I love it Thanks for shedding light on the destructive habits of our mimetic behavior I believe there is a cure for these negative behaviors and that God provided that cure via His Son as the final scape goat! Take faith in Jesus and be cured of its insatiable pull

Comment from : Manoj

Hey Gary, thanks for all the content its truly a gem of a page Wanted to ask you your personal opinion on non-technical individuals aiming to open businesses Would you say that getting a technical partner is beneficial for individuals with no technical experience or would you still rather that some sort of programming is learned such as Python as a starter?brbrThanks
Comment from : Ahmed Helmy

Comment from : Ukpono Okpongete

Another great video, Garry These videos are amazing, they're not only educational but also entertaining It would be cool to hear more about how other ideas from things like Stoicism/Hellenism can be applied in business and how you've seen it with you & your mentors

Comment from : Giles GQI

We are all born on an assembly line of grade school college job car marriage house retirement For whatever reason if you fall off the assembly line of life you can look outside in and it easy to spot new ways of thinking Wanting to be popular is antithetical to founding innovative companies

His (Luke Burgis) storytelling abilities are impeccable #Salute
Comment from : Wayman Harris

Garry, Super interesting You might really enjoy Revitalisations and Mazeways by American anthropologist A F C Wallace It places this kind of memetic theory within a broader social framework Deconstructs the psychological anthropological process of religious and cultural revitalisation movements Jobs was definitely tuned into this Examines the mechanics of movements like the biblical archetype of Exodus Leading disenfranchised people to the promised land

This is my first time to head about this theory This is awesome Thanks, Garry!brbrGoogled mimetic theory and loved this quote I found »»» “Man is the creature who does not know what to desire, and he turns to others in order to make up his mind We desire what others desire because we imitate their desires”

Hi Garry!brIn the "Mimesis in social media" section, you mention mimesis in companies that were going to become very large Which companies, that are currently small and bound to be large in the future, do you see have mimesis?
Comment from : HY

Hey garry , I’ve been trying to get in touch with you I’m a computer science engineer who’s obsessed with business and psychology My obsession has led to understand something fundamental about people and I am now starting a social media platform to solve the same problem I want 20 minutes with you and I’m sure I’d be able to convince you to help me in this and impact humans forever!! Please let me contact you! Thanks
Comment from : Sidharth Kasi

Mimetic theory is incredibly prevelant and so deeply ingrained in today's society that most people don't have the capability/inclination to think about the systems that govern us from the absolute fundamentals of humanity This imposed indoctrination, I feel, can be shed with the aid of facilitating discovery of one's true values and morals, stripping away the ego and becoming self awarebrLove your stuff Garry
Comment from : Mark RC

Thank you Garry Tan, you are providing best content on technology, startup and mindset !
Comment from : Sunil Bastola

Makes me wonder how Mimetic Theory relates to the work of the 1938 psychologist Henry Murray Murray believed that everyone has the same basic set of needs, but that individuals differ in their priority ranking of these needs Murray created a list of 28 psychogenic needs that serve as the basic constructs for a number of widely used personality tests (eg The Edwards Personal Preference Schedule) I guess I need to read Luke's book Fascinating subject Gary!
Comment from : shotime

Hey Garry,this must have been from your time with Peter Thiel right?brHe is the only one other person I have heard discuss this philosophy of mimetics on the Uncommon Knowledge channel!
