Description

In Episode 194, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Lukis Burgis, about the power of mimetic desire, what it is, and how it operates in society at large, whether that be in financial markets, politics, or the broader economy. In practical terms, this means understanding the forces that shape how we come to want the things that we desire, from fancy degrees, to high-flying stocks, to political ideologies, so that we can learn how to extract ourselves from the systems of wanting that leave us exhausted.
