EP 318: Luke Burgis - How Our Future is Shaped by What We Learn to Want, and Why?

<div>Luke Burgis explores human ecology and how our technology, relationships, politics, economics, education & systems affect what we want, our desires. Our future is shaped by what we learn to want and why. Luke wrote 'Wanting', a book based on the work of René Girard, a French polymath who coined the term mimetic theory, which describes the process of imitation or mimicry through which people portray and interpret the world. It's a way of thinking about our models - people or things that show us what is worth wanting, our perceived desires. Luke is incredibly insightful and this conversation, when intentionally absorbed, will impact every aspect of your life.</div> <div> </div> <div> <div>LINKS</div> <div> </div> <div>Luke Burgis website</div> <div><a href="https://lukeburgis.com/" rev= "en_rl_none">https://lukeburgis.com</a></div> <div> </div> <div>The Mojo Sessions website<br /> <a href="https://www.themojosessions.com/season-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.themojosessions.com</a><br />  <br /> The Mojo Sessions on Patreon<br /> <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions?fan_landing=true">https://www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions</a><br /> Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.<br />  <br /> The Mojo Sessions on Facebook<br /> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions/">https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions</a><br />  <br /> Gary on Linked in<br /> <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle-helping-unlock-great-ideas-b5182011/"> https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle</a><br />  <br /> Gary on Twitter<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/GaryBertwistle">https://twitter.com/GaryBertwistle</a><br />  <br /> The Mojo Sessions on Instagram<br /> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/themojosessions/">https://www.instagram.com/themojosessions</a><br />  <br /> If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-mojo-sessions/id1530154809" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple
