Tune in to hear:
- What is “manufactured desire” and what sinister role does it often play in contemporary life?
- Why is our tendency to let others’ influence our decisions a dramatic outlier from much of the Animal Kingdom?
- What is French Theorist René Girard’s Mimetic Theory and why can understanding it help inform the ways in which we make important decisions?
- Luke Burgis, one of Girard’s disciples, categorizes desires as either thin or thick. What distinguishes the two types of desire and why is this delineation so important?
- What are a series of questions you can ask yourself to parse whether the desire in question is thin or thick?
