Mental Model
Mimetic Desire: Mimetic Desire or mimesis is a good mental model to keep on the back of our heads. It is a psychological model. It speaks about our desires and how we mimic others without knowing or acknowledging them. We all have desires, and we think most of them are our independent desires. But we all are affected by models for the desire. For example, you may think that you wanted that t-shirt and it is entirely your choice, but you subconsciously have been influenced by a person(celebrity or someone you know) to buy that product. This is harmless mimesis but many times it leads to mimetic rivalry. To read more about this I recommend you see David Perell’s videos and read everything Luke Burgis writes.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT is addictive. For those who don’t know it is an AI which answers all your questions for you. It can write for you, it can code for you, it can do anything. So as an experiment I asked ChatGPT to write a small 50-word blog post on my newsletter. This is the result:
