Luke  Burgis
“engineering desire, is the approach of Silicon Valley, authoritarian governments, and the Cult of Experts. The first two use intelligence and data to centrally plan a system in which people want things that other people want them to want -- things that benefit a certain group of people. This approach poses a serious threat to human agency. It also lacks respect for the capability of people to freely desire what is best for themselves and for the people they love.”
Luke Burgis, Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life

Luke  Burgis
“People don’t fight because they want different things; they fight because mimetic desire causes them to want the same things.”
Luke Burgis, Wanting: Mimetic Desire: How to Avoid Chasing Things You Don't Truly Want

Luke  Burgis
“Desire doesn’t spread like information; it spreads like energy. It passes from person to person like the energy between people at a concert or political rally. This energy can lead to a cycle of positive desire, in which healthy desires gain momentum and lead to other healthy desires, uniting people in positive ways; or it can become a cycle of negative desire, in which mimetic rivalries lead to conflict and discord.”
Luke Burgis, Wanting: Mimetic Desire: How to Avoid Chasing Things You Don't Truly Want

“I love Voltaire’s observation that “History never repeats itself; man always does.”
Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

Morgan Housel
“Money’s greatest intrinsic value—and this can’t be overstated—is its ability to give you control over your time.”
Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money
