Lukes: I have hoped that there's positive loops that we can transcend the cycle of violence. And it calls for blood sacrifices to be made with great regularity, with greater and greater frequency. The only way out is kind of through. Lukes recommends three books by weirdest people in the world on why the west is psychologically peculiar.
In this episode of Infinite Loops we spoke with Luke Burgis, author of the book 'Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life'. We talk about:
- Needs vs. Desire
- The current state of social media
- 'Celebristan' and 'Freshmanistan'
- How to identify fake "experts"
- Scapegoating and Mimetic Violence
- And a LOT more!
