Mimetic Desire Is Just How We Are Built

I don't think you can escape or avoid mimetic desire. So what you can do is try to influence the people that you gain it from. For example, if you're constantly on Instagram looking at supercars and live in a place where all your friends have supercars then you'll want a supercar. No shit. And if you realize that that isn't actually what you want because, for example,if you couldn't post about it, you wouldn't want it. Starting to change that environment that you're in is honestly much more effective and realistic than saying, yeah, I'll live in this environment. I just won't want these things.
