as posted by the channelAttend a FREE AevyTV video editing masterclass
I'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.
