An important thread by @NancyRomm which strikes huge Girardian undertones (“the enemy of my enemy is my friend”). This is fundamentally about the loss of distinctions in my view, which precedes a mimetic crisis.
This book is excellent. Makes a strong case for empirical foundations and Dr. Andrew Meltzoff has an entire essay in it on neurobiological basis:
That’s why you should read the book. We’re talking about it right now.
Excellent essay by @halemur on @veryharryhill "Hill owns his thirst." Yes—in part because he understands mimetic desire.
A friendly reminder that in 1986, California’s forced a governmental task force on self-esteem. It took them about a year to come up with a definition. Excellent review of @jessesingal’s book by @akheriaty
P.S. that is a great book
Great article by @nytdavidbrooks connecting the Beatles rise to fame with the work of @CassSunstein and René Girard:
Highly recommend.
George Holtz speaking to @lexfridman. “If the history of AI has taught us anything, it’s that feature-engineering approaches will always be replaced by and lose to end-to-end learning.” Excellent essay by @justindeanlee
My friend Danny Warshay, who leads the entrepreneurship center at Brown (and who I happen to share the same stellar editor with), has an excellent book coming out tomorrow—the best intro to the entrepreneurial process you'll ever find. Get a copy:
Great book! I’ve read them all :)
Hey @ritholtz, I recommend this piece by @aaronvalue —and I'd be glad to answer any questions via email.
