What if your desires aren’t yours?
René Girard believed we’re all trapped inside a hidden psychological mechanism—mimetic desire—where we don’t just copy what others want… we copy their delusions, their confidence, and their stupidity.
In this video, we break down:
🔥 Why foolish ideas spread faster than truth
🔥 Why social media accelerates collective insanity
🔥 Why Girard believed identity itself is an imitation
🔥 How scapegoating, rivalry, and tribalism emerge automatically
🔥 How to see the trap operating in your own life
🔥 Why “authenticity” might be an illusion—but awareness isn’t
From tulip mania to modern cancel culture, from mass extremism to the daily trends that shape your desires, the mimetic trap explains why humanity keeps falling for the same patterns again and again.
If you've ever wondered why society feels more irrational, more reactive, and more tribal than ever, Girard already gave us the explanation decades ago.
This might be the most important philosophy–psychology framework you’ll ever learn.
