Aloha, Here’s another microdose of thoughts--made by me, Raad—founder of Lawtrades and writer at Spacecult. If you enjoy what I write, hit that heart icon or forward this to a friend. 1/ An idea I learned Mimetic Theory of Desire Humans are sheep. We don’t know what we actually want, so we imitate others to help us understand who and what to desire. If people imitate each other’s desires, they may wind up desiring the very same things; and if they desire the same things, they easily become rivals, as they reach for the same objects (such as a job, first place prize, or a lover).
