i love freshman's stand, because my friend alex danko did a three hour salon on memetic desire. If you're trying too hard to create a scene, guess what? It's not a scene. tim irban has a great idea, which is the only way we're going to get people to do better and be better. i have never been an envious person. I view that as a huge blessing. And so am i making too much of the idea that envy might drive more mometic comparison?
