What drives our rivalries and desires? Exploring mimetic theory reveals so much about our behaviors today. How do you see these dynamics play out in your own life? 🤔 #MimeticTheory #SocialDynamics #Reflection https://open.spotify.com/episode/1aRNnafJyWoMznLihbQilK

Just what we needed: another theory. This one's about Middle-earth. Because, apparently, regular Earth theories are too mainstream. 🌍 #MimeticTheory #MiddleEarthMadness

1. Thiel Turns Girard's Anti-Competition Theory into a Pro-Monopoly Justification Girard’s View: Competition is Violent and Self-Destructive Girard argues that competition fueled by mimetic desire leads to violence, destruction, and the scapegoat mechanism. As people and groups imitate each other’s desires, they become locked in zero-sum rivalries that escalate toward conflict. His theory warns against unrestrained competition, suggesting that societies must find ways to mitigate mimetic rivalries to avoid destructive outcomes. Thiel’s View: Competition is Bad… But Because It’s Inefficient Thiel agrees that competition is harmful, but he uses this insight to argue in favor of monopolies. He selectively applies Mimetic Theory to conclude that startups and businesses should seek to escape competition altogether by forming monopolies. In Zero to One, he writes: “Competition is for losers.” His idea is that the most successful companies avoid mimetic rivalries by creating unique, unchallenged market positions where they don’t have to compete. Where Thiel Gets It Wrong: Girard was warning against destructive mimetic rivalries in society, not just in business. He saw competition leading to war, not as a problem of inefficiency in capitalism. Thiel reframes Girard’s critique of rivalry as an argument for eliminating competitors altogether. But Girard was not advocating for monopolistic dominance—he was diagnosing the dangers of human imitation spiraling into conflict. Mimetic rivalry cannot be escaped through monopolization. Even if one dominates a market, new competitors will emerge, and monopolists can still fall into internal mimetic rivalries (e.g., look at Google vs. Facebook vs. Apple).
#Thiel misapplies #Girard ( #mimetictheory ) for power, not peace.

To understand Trump’s behavior, look to Peter Thiel and Girard’s mimetic theory, a religious-like ideology that justifies scapegoating, chaos, authoritarianism, and endless conflict as political necessities. Mimetic theory teaches that desire is imitation, rivalry is inevitable, and society resolves tensions through scapegoating—a strategy Trump weaponizes by targeting immigrants, the media, and political enemies. Thiel, who views democracy as inefficient, sees chaos as a tool and conflict as the engine of power. The end goal is a post-democratic order, where authority is concentrated in a ruling elite who manipulate desire, control narratives, and maintain power through perpetual conflict and crisis. Mimetic politics doesn’t govern—it destroys, scapegoats, and consolidates power, all under the guise of an unprovable, elitist ideology disguised as truth.
To understand #Trump, look to #PeterThiel and #mimetictheory, a religious-like #ideology that justifies #scapegoating, #chaos, #authoritarianism, and #endlessconflict.
