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?
