For someone who feels really unsocial in college because they don’t listen to DHH, don’t wear fancy sneakers, or don’t use Gen-Z slang while having convo with others, this is nothing but a reflection of a society that has been consuming the mimetic desires of influencers. Scapegoating someone for being the top 1% in the room, and constant comparison between you and your admired individuals-Ik it won’t change the people around you, but it will shape you with a new perspective on philosophy and life!

    Jealousy is the only feeling where not the person who gets affected by it are we ourselves. We let that ignite or spark grow into a big tree of jealousy, agony, anger towards that human, thing & it can be literally anything. Desires make or break.

    Some drawback in the philosophy (*i feel):
    1. Reducing complex phenomena of violence, societal conflicts and religion to just memetic desires & scapegoating mechanism.
    2. Buddha scapegoat is Kingdom for Memetic Desire but also for personal enlightenment & cessation of suffering.
    3. Every thing is not just the Memetic Desire: yes, dhoni six in wc11 ignites the spark for me to play cricket but it was love for the game that pushed me to still play. I no longer play for being him, I play for being ME.
    4. Individuality Difference. What about Innovation. Lack Practical Solutions.
    Love the fact, that you generalized the mimicry of Girard's philosophy♥

  • @Ash-hk2nd
    @Ash-hk2nd 17 годин тому +3

    René Girard’s mimetic theory is undeniably fascinating and offers a unique perspective on human behavior, especially in understanding conflict and societal structures. However, I feel it oversimplifies the complexity of human motivations by reducing them largely to imitation and scapegoating. While mimetic desires might explain how we are influenced by others, they cannot account for the depth of personal growth, creativity, or spiritual pursuits.
    Take, for example, the Buddha’s journey-it wasn’t merely about mimetic desire or rejecting what others valued. His quest was deeply personal, driven by the pursuit of enlightenment and the cessation of suffering. Similarly, in daily life, while imitation might spark an initial interest, the driving force behind sustained effort is often intrinsic. Watching Sachin’s six in WC might inspire someone to pick up cricket, but continuing to play and love the game often stems from a genuine passion, not just a desire to mimic.
    The theory also struggles to address individuality and innovation. How do new ideas emerge if all desires are borrowed? Think of groundbreaking inventions like the light bulb or the internet-these weren’t just imitations but bold steps into the unknown. Mimetic theory, while insightful, seems to focus more on why we want what others have and less on how we create something entirely new.
    Finally, its practical applicability feels limited. It’s excellent for explaining why we might desire what others desire, but how does it help us navigate the modern challenges of fostering individuality, solving conflicts, or encouraging innovation? I think human behavior is a mix of mimetic tendencies, intrinsic curiosity, and a deep yearning for meaning-something no single theory can fully explain.

  • @vidhathshetty3114
    @vidhathshetty3114 3 дні тому +17

    Man's quest for personal identity is in conflict with the harmony of the world. The same cycle repeating endlessly with seemingly no end. He wants connection yet can't commit out of fear of his own nature of infinity. So, a shared framework is what he hates but is eventually pigeonholed into. Great video Varun you've captured the essence of what's seemingly permanent but lasts very temporary. Your point of it being not about the object but the person's obstacle also makes us not see the origin of how things are made and that leads to Winner takes all and an extractive approach. Scapegoating also makes sense why cringe content is working and being watched by people even though they are so not like them. So given all the bodies of knowledge he is never able to make peace with the alien something that is outside the bounds of his knowledge. I hope this comment did justice and kept people longer in the video. Thank you for reading!!

    What if we make a country run like a Corporate? (Hypothesis)
    I have noticed that no one in a political party is generally held accountable for the promises they break (the promises they only made to gather votes and compete with other parties).
    Political parties in a democracy compete against other parties to get the seat (even by making fake promises), whereas parties in a dictatorship regime have no competition at all (sometimes not even inside their own parties).
    In a company like Google, every individual is responsible. If something bad happens to the company, then Sundar Pichai will lose his job. If something bad happens in a specific department, then the department head will lose their job, and there will always be someone eagerly waiting to take over their seat. This signifies an environment of accountability, which is often missing within many political parties. If model of an MNC is implemented on a country, will it make things better? Or worse?
    Just like this model where:
    1) CEO works like a president and will be chosen by a committee, just like in a corporate company. [They will take every step responsibly, as they can be removed for any wrong move they make, given that there are many others hungry for this position.]
    2) Committee (people in this position will first join as employees, but after showing good performance and competing with others, they will reach this position).
    3) Employees/Managers (will be the 3rd pillar of the structure). [Promotions will motivate them to work even better. Their ultimate goal is to become a committee member.]
    4) Citizens/Shareholders (influences the actions taken by the committee).
    In this model:
    Leaders will focus on measurable goals and long-term outcomes rather than making populist promises to win votes. This reduces the risk of short-sighted policies aimed only at gaining public approval.
    The model will also be data-driven and motivated to maximize the profits of shareholders.
    Can this model work? Or will this just be a mess?

    that makes me think -> how do we then actually know what we truly desire that is authentic and real.

    The thing which hurts me the most is that this kind of knowledge is going to benefit a very small number of people because still people follow the beliefs than the real facts, the preconditioning of people is really hard to change as years of immature training of society cannot be changed with a logical argument. The "change" is really hard to follow up. Even I wish I didn't realized the harsh truth of life and society. Really great vedio, I wish it benefit to as many people as it can. Thanks.

    The video editing on this is at a completly different level even for Avey/ Varun's standards, he is taking video production to a different level using technology!!! This increases audience retention, this just felt like watching Vsauce documetary

  • @babygoat-o1w

    Awesome video.
    I think, however, personally, there is one more factor that matters here - the desire to be remembered. I don't think this particular desire stems from what other people want - but it's something we end up wanting naturally. Social validation and such certainly plays a hand in many of our desires...............but underlying just as many of them is a desire for as many people to remember you (hopefully, positively) after you're no more.
    This makes it really hard to "detach" from our wants - especially since we can't use the "we're all gonna die someday" argument anymore....

    the best thing i did was to delete social media in class 10 and till today I don't use, yes you heard it right no instagram,watsapp,snapchat,facebook,twitter nothing. although i use UA-cam for entertainment purpose or learning new things and for studies too and believe me, this was the best decision, I still don't have my personal phone rather have a pc which is for whole family use, and I don't feel fomo about anything. What matters the most for me is family and their health. but the entrance exam part was most relatable, great content loved the way you explained 😇😇

    1. THE ANIMATION AT THE START WAS CEAZY GOOD.
    2. Yes, as someone who grew up isolated I was unaware of the concept of desire. i never felt the need to stylize myself even. I am still coming to terms with it, like how people judge me by shoes etc. (always wore sandals because functional) and only after buying shoes did I realise how it changes people perceiving you.
    3. i think you can think about this as well. More than actually belonging to the group, often we want others to THINk we belong to that group as well, because otherwise the remainder won't respect you. Every man wants to be respected. (You could put the you just have to be a good person to be respected argument but let's be honest genz doesn't think that way )
    3. This is the first time on UA-cam I have seen someone say its the philosophical values that matter and not the story itself wrt to religion. It made me go "omg finally" moment :p
    4. Your channel always shows imagery during the dialogue, but this time the amount of imagery, their consitent quality and the creativity/prompting behind them was a different level
    5. Also the fit rocks . A longer beard and you could pass up as a spiritual guru for the genz

    This is hands down one of the best videos on philosophy that I’ve come across.
    I’ve taken a lot away from this. This is a video most of our society needs to see and heal themselves.
    This is all about how we have been socially programmed. Once we realise why that is, something magical happens. We gain the ability to correct ourselves and our thought process.
    I love your ai videos Varun. But you definitely need to do more videos on the human condition.

The fact that something so complicated is explained in such simple words is truly commendable, and the editing takes it to a whole different level. I hope to see more content like this!

    You are providing outstanding content for educating people. Helping us think from different perspectives, interpretations, insights, and through self-analysis using the best resources available allows me to gain clarity in my life. This approach is much more beneficial than simply focusing on one narrow aspect. Thank you Varun !
