What happens when you finally achieve the thing you wanted… and still feel weirdly unchanged? In this episode, I'm joined by author, musician and meditation teacher Cory Allen for a conversation about ambition, creativity, overachievement and the strange emotional flatness that can follow success. We explore why so many high achievers quietly expect achievement to do something it was never designed to do: finally make them feel enough. In this episode we explore: Why achievement often fails to deliver the feeling we expected The exhausting cycle of striving, arriving, and immediately moving the goalposts Mimetic desire and how we learn what to want by watching other people The hidden fear beneath obsessive, brittle overachievement Cory's idea of "rotating the prism" — and how changing the way we look at disappointment can completely change our experience of it LINKS Cory Allen's website & books Cory on Instagram Mandy on Instagram Meg Josephson episode

Hey friends, Chase here. I want to talk about something that might be uncomfortable — but if you're willing to really look at it, it can change everything. What if you're working incredibly hard… at the wrong thing? This is one of the scariest patterns I've seen — not just in the creators I coach, but in my own life. People are climbing. Grinding. Achieving. But they're climbing a mountain that isn't theirs. What's Really Going On Most people don't realize they're succeeding at the wrong thing. From the outside, it looks like progress: Momentum Validation Money Status But internally? There's a low-grade unease. Something you can't quite name. You tell yourself: "I just need one more win." "One more level." One more external yes." But what if that feeling isn't about not being there yet? What if it's because you're on the wrong mountain entirely? Why This Happens We humans are mimetic creatures. We learn what to want by watching what other people want. In a world optimized for visibility, comparison, and performative success… that instinct goes into overdrive. We chase what's celebrated. We optimize for what's rewarded. We pursue what looks like a "good life" from the outside. And somewhere along the way, we stop asking the most important question: Why am I doing this? Not the polite answer. Not the resume answer. Not the Instagram caption. The honest one. The Core Idea When you're unclear on your why, you default to someone else's. And when that happens, success becomes incredibly easy to misplace. You can chase: 100,000 followers A bigger team More money A certain lifestyle But if you don't know why… You can end up winning a game you never meant to play. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why we unknowingly adopt other people's goals How mimicry shapes our definition of success The danger of chasing external validation without internal clarity Why "one more win" can actually be a trap How to start defining your own version of success Timecodes (So You Can Jump to What You Need) 02:00 – The idea of climbing the wrong mountain 03:02 – The feeling of low-grade unease 03:27 – Mimetic behavior: why we want what others want 04:16 – The most important question: why? 05:21 – Why people succeed at the wrong thing 05:47 – The reframe: you might be pursuing the wrong end 06:13 – That restless feeling is actually alignment 07:06 – Clarity over chaos: small shifts, not big resets 07:33 – Interrupting mimicry 08:06 – Trading achievement for energy 08:29 – Choosing one honest action 09:16 – Stop outsourcing your ambition 09:38 – The danger of succeeding at the wrong thing 09:59 – Finding your mountain If You Feel That Unease, Read This That restless feeling you can't shake? It's not dissatisfaction. It's alignment trying to get your attention. And the fix isn't blowing up your life. It's pausing. Pausing long enough to get honest about what you actually want. Not what looks good. Not what's rewarded. Not what other people expect. What's true for you. Three Ways to Reorient Yourself 1. Interrupt the Mimicry If nobody could see what I'm doing, would I still want this? 2. Trade Achievement for Energy Which of your recent wins actually energized you — not just relieved pressure? 3. Choose One Honest Action Do one small thing aligned with what you actually care about — even if no one sees it. The Truth Most People Learn Too Late The fastest way to feel trapped isn't failure. It's succeeding at something that was never yours. I've lived this. I've climbed the wrong mountains. And when I found the right one? Everything changed. Your Assignment This week, get clear. What would you pursue if no one was watching? What actually energizes you? What's your mountain? You don't need a perfect plan. You just need enough clarity to take one honest step. Until next time: Stop chasing someone else's definition of success. Get clear on your mountain. And start climbing the one that's actually yours.

Bu hafta konumuz, René Girard'ın taklitçi arzu teorisi, yani insanların aslında ne istediklerini kendileri değil, başkalarının ne istediğini görerek keşfettiği fikri. Ve bu mekanizmanın kariyerde, ilişkilerde, sosyal medyada ve tüketimde nasıl göründüğü.Ücretsiz koçluk ön görüşmesi için emineyesilcimen.com/kocluk

Author and entrepreneur Luke Burgis joins us to explore the invisible architecture of human desire — and how understanding it can radically change our choices, ambitions, and sense of self. Drawing on his book *Wanting* and the mimetic theory of René Girard, Burgis unpacks how most of what we "want" is shaped not by independent reasoning, but by models — people we unconsciously imitate.From adolescent identity formation to startup culture, self-improvement traps, and curated social media personas, Burgis reveals how easily our values can be hijacked. He discusses the destructive loop of rivalrous desire, the myth of the autonomous goal-setter, and how most of us never pause to ask *why* we want what we want. The conversation also dives into the difference between thin vs. thick desires, how to build a life rooted in fulfillment rather than status, and the importance of discovering what only *you* can do. For anyone seeking clarity in a noisy, comparison-driven world, this episode is a wake-up call — and a blueprint for reclaiming your inner compass. Hosted on Acast.

This week, the team dives into the feud that has been brewing between Anthropic and the Pentagon — and what it says about how the government interacts with tech companies. Later, Zoë tells us why figuring out whether you are agentic or mimetic has become the new litmus test in Silicon Valley. Plus, we discuss the key takeaways from the State of the Union address and give a farewell to the TAT-8 undersea cables — the ones that made our modern internet possible.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Welcome to Episode 197 of the Bodybuilding Down Under Podcast! In this episode, we take a different direction and explore the psychology behind bodybuilding ambition, unpacking the concept of mimetic desire and how our goals may be shaped more by influence and status than we realise. We discuss whether physique goals are truly internal or socially driven, how social media amplifies comparison, and why division standards continue to evolve year after year. The conversation explores the influence of iconic athletes on category growth, the shifting criteria across federations, and how rivalry and prestige can subtly shape the direction of the sport. We also unpack the role coaches, podcasts, and industry leaders play in influencing athlete aspirations, and examine the fine line between healthy inspiration and destructive comparison. The episode finishes with a discussion around autonomy in a sport built on judging, rankings, and public evaluation. Whether you're a competitive bodybuilder, a coach, or someone simply invested in improving your physique, this episode offers perspective on identity, ambition, and what really drives progress in modern bodybuilding.

Doug welcomes back returning guest Jim Babka for a libertarian Christian deep dive into Donald Trump's “second first year” in office. They walk through key events from 2025–26 and ask what they reveal about power, symbolism, and the state.Topics include:Why Trump's second term feels so different from his first, and how anger and “getting even” seem to shape his decisionsThe Iran bunker‑busting strike and what it says about the myth of Trump as a “peace president”The push to buy Greenland, the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico, and how Trump uses symbolism and deal‑making theatricsICE's shocking tactics as “terror theater” to drive self‑deportation and deter migrationWhy Jim argues the Epstein files are thedefining story of 2025:How Congress slow‑walked and then quietly passed the disclosure lawHow the administration has violated it with redactions and delaysWhat the limited releases already reveal about Epstein's roles in intelligence, arms, and under‑the‑table influenceHow the Epstein issue is uniquely damaging Trump in the pollsAlong the way, Doug and Jim connect these developments to memetic theory, the deep state, Zionist influence, and the fragility of American faith in both church and state.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

Kanyi Maqubela's journey is nothing short of extraordinary—from fleeing apartheid South Africa as an infant, to living in a homeless shelter in New York City, to becoming a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley. As managing partner at Kindred Ventures, Maqubela sits at the intersection of culture, finance, and technology. In this episode, he talks with Scott McGrew about why he believes crypto has already succeeded—even if it doesn't look the way early critics expected.Maqubela argues that value isn't just stored in physical assets or spreadsheets—it can also be stored in memes. Whether it's gold, real estate in Las Vegas, or Dogecoin, he suggests that cultural momentum and shared belief can give something staying power and real economic weight. “Mimetic value is value,” he says, making the case that virality itself is a form of capital.This conversation explores why the blockchain matters, how meme coins might be more serious than they seem, and why the next generation is right to question the financial systems they inherited. It's a provocative look at the future of value—and the stories we tell to justify it.

How do we decide what we want? By imitating other people, says Luke Burgis. His new book is Wanting. • If you enjoy the show, please consider supporting us by subscribing to our daily newsletter.

Mimetic desire, scapegoating: if you've been hearing these terms thrown around lately, it's because the French Catholic philosopher René Girard (1923-2015) is having a renaissance, with powerful people like J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel citing his influence on their thought. Trevor Cribben Merrill, producer of the new documentary Things Hidden: The Life and Legacy of René Girard, joins the podcast to discuss Girard's principal ideas, and reflect on aspects of his thought which seem difficult to reconcile with Catholic doctrine.

Dr. Chris Rhodes is a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from UC Davis, and a Nutrition, Biohacking, and Longevity expert who has spent his research career unraveling the mysteries behind intermittent fasting and its incredible ability to optimize health and extend lifespan. During his 8 years of clinical research into prolonged fasting, Dr. Rhodes uncovered that a 36 hour fast was able to greatly enhance the biological function of the human body, taking already young healthy people and optimizing their cellular performance, recovery, and protective systems. Dr. Rhodes discovered that these effects were due to a unique set of molecules that are produced in the body only during long periods of fasting and that these “fasting metabolites” could be used to recreate the beneficial effects of fasting without actually needing to fast. To share this breakthrough with the world, Dr. Rhodes co-founded Mimio Health, a biotech company creating first-of-their-kind biomimetic supplements designed from human biology to optimize health, slow aging, and enhance longevity.Website: https://mimiohealth.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrishrhodes/360 Age Reversal: https://www.360agereversalprogram.com/Connect:Dr. Trip Goolsby & LeNae Goolsby are the co-founders of the Infinite Health Integrative Medicine Center, and are also the co-authors of the book “Think and Live Longer”.

Chris Duffin sits down with expert guest Anthony Castor to delve deep into the fascinating world of insulin mimetics, glucose metabolism, and their implications for overall health and aging. The conversation kicks off with an examination of metformin's widespread use in diabetes management and its controversial potential benefits in cancer prevention, as highlighted in a recent study that casts doubt on its anti-cancer efficacy. Anthony and Chris explore the intricacies of balancing key cellular pathways—AMPK and mTOR—and their roles in muscle metabolism and aging. They discuss how the AMPK pathway acts as a guardian of energy preservation in the cell, especially under conditions of low nutrient availability, while mTOR is pivotal for muscle protein synthesis and energy expenditure. They also touch upon the impact of gut microbiome shifts on insulin sensitivity and how products like berberine and metformin can influence these pathways, sometimes to the detriment of muscle mass gain. Metformin and Gut Microbiome Positive impacts of metformin on gut microbiome GI disturbances related to insulin mimetics Role of AMPK signaling in energy preservation and muscle protein synthesis Benefits of products like berberine, banaba leaf extract, and alpha lipoic acid Hormonal support and muscle mass considerations   This episode of the ARCHITECT of RESILIENCE podcast is available on Apple, Spotify & YouTube, and is sponsored by  @marekhealth : Performance.

Mimetic desire is what makes us human, and what prevents us from seeing others are connected to us. How does Jesus model the way out of this mimetic trap and what can we learn about changing ourselves to change our world?

Many people think that Christianity is merely about where you go after you die. But did you know that the New Testament is deeply political? Check out this episode of One Question as Pastor Adam and Dr. Lyle Enright discuss politics, theology, and mimetic theory. Lyle Enright is the Research Director of unRival Network. His blog on Substack is Religion is for Losers. A recent article by Lyle is "René Girard, J. D. Vance, and You".

I have been highly influenced by mimetic theory to understand how the Bible reveals the nonviolence of God and the human tendency to scapegoat. Tragically, major politicians have started using mimetic theory as a tool for doing precisely what mimetic theory warns us not to do - scapegoat others. In this episode to begin season 5, I talk about reclaiming Christianity and mimetic theory. I hope you enjoy it!

The Story of Abraham: Part 8, A Mimetic Life   Teaching Text: Romans 4:13-25 Preached by Paul Khochay

A lot of my current listeners may have missed this previous episode with guest, Luke Burgis (and even if you did hear the original, it's a great one to re-listen to as you understand how mimetic desire may appear in your life!) Once you learn about mimetic desire, you realize how much it has impacted your life, how much it is all around us and how to begin to set yourself apart... Mimetic desire — the act of desiring simply what others desire – imitating what others want instead of developing our own intentional, conscious wanting – is powerful in our development, our world and in our everyday lives. Today's guest, author Luke Burgis, shares his expertise about this concept, how society influences mimetic desire, how we can determine what we truly desire, the impact we can have on the desires of those around us and more! ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Resource: Motivational Code Connect with Luke: Website Instagram Substack Book: Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire Episode Sponsors | The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors.

Why do we want what we want? Philosopher, theologian, and literary critic René Girard posits that we draw our desires largely from the people around us, a fact which has implications for everything from how we should plan our careers to the direction of foreign policy. Following a career spanning business, religious discernment, and academia, Luke Burgis joins Madison's Notes to explore Girard's philosophy of desire. Along the way, he delves into the concept of 'political atheism,' America's struggle with China, the future of social media, and why artificial intelligence will render the humanities more relevant than ever. Luke Burgis is Entrepreneur-in-Residence and Director of Programs & Projects at the Ciocca Center at Catholic University of America, as well as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Business in the Busch School. He has founded and led multiple companies and is the founder and director of Fourth Wall Ventures, an incubator for people and companies that contribute to the formation of a healthy human ecology. He is a graduate of NYU's Stern School of Business and of a pontifical university in Rome, where he studied theology. He is the author of Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life (St. Martin's Press, 2021), and his next book, The One and the Ninety-Nine will be released in 2026.

If you're always imitating others or aspiring to be something else, what's left of the "authentic" you? According to the French philosopher René Girard, not much: Nothing can be truly authentic, he argued--everything comes from somewhere else. This is just one of the many original and counterintuitive claims put forth in Girard's sweeping approach to human history. He argues it is sameness, not our difference that leads to conflict, and he sees religion as a way to contain the chaos as opposed to its first cause. Listen as Stanford University scholar Cynthia Haven speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about Girard's theories of desire and violence. The conversation also includes a discussion of the power of forgiveness to put a stop to conflict's rinse-and-repeat.

David Gornoski appears on Jason Mironchuk's “At the End of the Day” show alongside Q of Mimetic Value. “Many people know of Rene Girard's theories of desire and violence, but what does his Mimetic Theory and the Scapegoat have to say about Christianity? Are we Westerners haunted by the Cross? Is Trump the scapegoat to end ALL scapegoats?” Subscribe to 2 Bit Podcast here. Q's Substack. Visit aneighborschoice.com for more

This week Dr. Andre Rabe joins the podcast to discuss his latest book, "Processing Mimetic Reality: Harmonizing Alfred North Whitehead and Rene Girard". What, if anything, does Process Philosophy have in common with Mimetic theory? Rabe seeks to answer this question, not by collapsing the two schools of thought into one, but rather seeking to harmonize them. Dr. Rabe demonstrates that deep, broad, and significant harmonies exist between process philosophy and mimetic theory. Girard enriches Whitehead through exemplification, and Whitehead enriches Girard through an expansion of the overall narrative and deeper ontological insights into the processes that made us human. The result is an illuminating unveiling of the biases we developed in becoming human and a proposal for how we may access the more creative and beneficial aspects of desire that lie latent within these processes. I really enjoyed this conversation and even got emotional at the end! Enjoy.

In this episode, Jake and Simon are piggy backing off last week's episode about uncovering our needs and are now exploring what happens when our needs lead to comparison or conflict.

This week on Snarky Faith, we're thrilled to have Jon Turney, the author of In an engaging blend of literary scholarship and accessible philosophy, Matthew J. Distefano offers readers a fresh perspective on J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved creation, focusing on the unassuming yet profoundly wise Hobbits. Through the application of mimetic theory, the book examines how desires are influenced and shaped by those around us, using Hobbit society as a mirror to our own. Distefano skilfully navigates the intersection of fantasy and reality, prompting us to question the foundations of our social interactions, aspirations, and the very fabric of our communities. With wit and clarity, the book not only pays homage to Tolkien's work but also extends an invitation to adopt a more thoughtful, Hobbit-inspired approach to our lives and relationships. It's an enlightening read that promises to enrich the podcast discussion, offering listeners both a deeper understanding of a literary classic and practical insights into living a more connected, meaningful life.Links for More:More from Matt Distefano: https://www.allsetfree.com/Get Mimetic Theory & Middle-earth: Untangling Desire in Tolkien's Legendarium here: https://amzn.to/3TNnJ8BFeatured Crackpots, Grifters, and Prophets: Hank Kunneman, Greg Locke, and Kent ChristmasBig thanks to these outlets that make the Christian Crazy possible:Right Wing WatchChristian NightmaresFriendly AtheistCome along for the ride as we skewer through life, culture, and spirituality in the face of a changing world.www.SnarkyFaith.com Check out the other fantastic Quoircast partners: The Heretic Happy Hour Podcast, Apostates Anonymous, The Messy Spirituality Podcast, Ideas Digest, The New Evangelicals

Today's episode talks all about Matthew's new book, Mimetic Theory & Middle-earth. We also get into some Christian Nationalism and the now infamous and meme-worthy speech by Sen. Katie Britt.

All the unforgettable teachings for this retreat are now available to own. The Recipe for Rapture: Why the World Must Now Be Sacrificed: https://bit.ly/recipe-rapture   Description: This explanation of Rene Girard's model of social functioning, based on the ego's uncertainty about what it wants, brings new clarity to our personal difficulties and those in the realm of macropolitics. The discourse describes the chain of effects brought about by coveting the attributes or possessions of a chosen other. These cascade from envy to imitation, to rivalry, and to some level of symptomatic violence. We must become free of scapegoating and being victimized, as well as from all rescue fantasies. There is an easy way out.

Here, he finds a scene between the Roman emperor Trajan and a sorrowing mother who demands justice.Demands it so much, in fact, that she and Trajan have a dramatized conversation, although they're carved into marble. Eagles soar. Knights tramp the ground. What's Dante up to?Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we watch Dante the poet push the claims of realism to the breaking point to end at the moral crux of all of PURGATORIO: How do you balance justice and compassion?Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:14] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto X, lines 70 - 93. If you'd like to read along or continue the conversation with me, please go to my website, markscarbrough.com.[03:07] The first major players in the passage: the Roman emperor Trajan and the widow at his horse's bridle.[05:19] The third major player in the passage: Pope Gregory the Great.[07:21] Trajan is named outright, although other reliefs use periphrastic phrasing to identify the characters in the marble. Is that difference important?[10:30] The passage picks up and alters the vendetta thematics from INFERNO.[13:01] The woman at Trajan's horse's bridle seems a middle ground between the submissive Virgin Mary and the haughty Michal: an actionable humility.[15:56] An interpretive question about the difference between history and story (or "istoria" and "storiata," to use Dante's words).[18:53] Mimetic (realistic) art relies on imagined details to bolster and enhance the realism claims.[23:45] The moral crux of Purgatory is the balance between justice and compassion.[25:36] Rereading the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto X, lines 70 - 93.

In this thought-provoking episode pulled from Taylor's event this year, in London, we dive deep into the concept of hyper imitation, mimetic desire, and how we can utilize these inherent human traits for personal growth. We also explore the idea of self-influence and how to harness it to create a better future.Recorded June, 2023IF you enjoyed the show please leave us a review to help push this message to more listeners around the world!Please visit Taylorawelch.com to access all of Taylor's socials and content Text Taylor: 615-326-5037Chapters: (00:00) Intro to Mimetic Desire(02:21) Examples (04:49) Connection Between Mimetic Desire & Hyper Imitation(07:15) Using Mimetic Desire for your own benefit(10:14) What is the "Worthy Model"?

The last time we had entrepreneur, professor, and author Luke Burgis on the show, he discussed the concept of mimetic desire, which says that we want the things 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 “thick desires” and become a “political atheist” and how these concepts can help you live a more anti-mimetic life.Resources Related to the PodcastWanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life by Luke BurgisLuke's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #714 — Why Do We Want What We Want?Leisure: The Basis of Culture by Josef Pieper Deceit, Desire, and the Novel by René GirardThe Red and the Black by StendhalAoM Article: What Do You Want to Want?AoM Article: Freedom From…Freedom ToAoM Podcast #215: Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction With Matthew CrawfordAoM Podcast #796: The Life We're Looking ForAoM Podcast #847: Overdoing DemocracySunday Firesides: Not Everything Is PoliticalConnect With Luke BurgisLuke's WebsiteLuke's Substack: Anti-Mimetic

Today we're joined by Luke Burgis, author of "Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life," to discuss where our desires come from and how we can better shape them. We discuss his article, "The Three City Problem of Modern Life," in which he expands on the idea, "What does Athens (reason) have to do with Jerusalem (faith)?" by adding a third city to the discussion: Silicon Valley (technology) and proposing that this Silicon Valley "city" has changed our relationships with reason and faith. Then, we talk about mimetic desire: what it is, why it's important, and how we can respond to our own desires based on where they come from. We define "disruptive empathy" and "trendy narcissism" and talk about how real love ties into all of this. WE'RE GIVING AWAY 5 SIGNED COPIES OF LUKE'S BOOK!
