Girard’s theory of mimetic desires (we desire things because other role models desire them) states that the reason we’re such blank slates at birth is because us mimicking other people is what made us so successful. Horses now do the same thing as horses did 100,000 years ago. In order for us to reach this level of civilisation we have to come out of the womb very empty and very eager to imitate each other. Which unfortunately leads to war and other problems, since we want what others want.
