René Girard's mimetic theory offers profound insights into rivalry, desire, and societal conflicts. In this episode, we discuss imitation's role in human behavior, the scapegoat mechanism, and the resonance of Girard's ideas in modern technology, social media, and cancel culture. Featuring real-world examples, we analyze how these patterns shape society and propose strategies for fostering inclusivity in competitive environments.
