About

Science and business follow the same principles and are practically the same thing - you experiment, you observe, you make conclusions, and you repeat. I help entrepreneurs build software, content, small companies, and freelancing careers with actionable advice. I try my best to distill new developments in technology for the masses. Most importantly, I practice what I preach. I failed countless times on countless projects with a few small wins, and I have come to realise that this is the norm :) Collabs: [email protected]

Video Description

Attend a FREE AevyTV video editing masterclass - https://class.aevytv.com/learn_editing I'm exploring philosopher René Girard's fascinating theory of mimetic desire - how most of our wants aren't actually our own, but copied from others. From that dream car to your career goals, I'll uncover why you desire what you desire, how these imitated wants create rivalry and conflict, and why social media amplifies these tensions. Learn how society deals with these copied desires and what it means for your own life choices. 00:00 - Intro 02:08 - Chapter 01 - Mimetic Desire 07:15 - Chapter 02 - Scenario 08:01- Chapter 03 - Problems 14:13 - Chapter 04 - Scapegoat 19:38 - Chapter 05 - Religion 24:25 - Chapter 06 - Hierarchy 26:27 - Chapter 07 - Capitalism
