The last time we had entrepreneur, professor, and author Luke Burgis on the show, he discussed\xa0the concept of mimetic desire, which says that we want the\xa0things we want because other people want them. Since that time, Luke has continued to explore the idea of mimesis, and how to resist its negative consequences, in his Substack: Anti-Mimetic. Today on the show, Luke and I dig into these ideas and discuss ways we can step outside the tempo, cadences, and priorities that the world would foist upon us and establish our own rhythms for our lives. Luke unpacks what it means to have \u201cthick desires\u201d and become a \u201cpolitical atheist\u201d and how these concepts can help you live a more anti-mimetic life.
