mimetic desire 

A phrase coined by the anthropologist Rene Girard to explain why your best friend is trying to steal your boyfriend from you.

Also known as triangulation of desire.

Mimetic desire, the desire for what somebody else has or wants, accounts for why I really want to go out with a guy that a lot of other girls find attractive.

Mimetic Desire 

OoOoOoOo! You don't actually want the thing you want OoOoOoOo! These aren't the droids you're looking for OoOoOoOo! The SOLUTION is my incest cult and my incest cult says that you have to be humble OoOoOoOo!

Hym "Yeah, no fuck you. I don't want to be you. Don't want to be like you. You're shit. I don't think you're actually capable of accepting other people's thoughts or desires as fully real or legitimate in the absence of some top down figure to impose that on you. And in a world were half the people think evil ghosts can puppet your body around and the other half thinks that them mashing their genitals together makes them better than me. Let's talk about what YOU want. You want me to not get credit for my contributions to AI. Or you would be giving it to me. You want me to not make any money for my contributions Or I would have it. Let's talk about how YOU are not sacrificing YOUR pride and allowing yourself to be commanded to save the live of a child in accordance with YOUR incest cult. Let's talk about how you are just trying to jedi mind trick every into believing retarded nonsense. 'OoOoOoOo! YOU actually want THE OPPOSITE of what you want! Wants aren't even real! YOU aren't even real! The self is an illusion! OoOoOoOo! You are an illusion in my mind! You're the ghost of Christmas past! OoOoOoOo! You're a spooky ghost in my mind!' And I'M supposed to hear you say retarded shit like THAT

and I'M supposed to say 'Oh shit! That's so profound! I should fucking so that immediately or women are going to fuck a retard instead of me! Please sir! I'm the lowest scum on the planet! Please let me like your boot! You're I want the opposite of all of it wants and I am the opposite of what I think I am and evil ghosts are gonna get me if don't have a relationship with your slut daughter after she spent the last 10 years fucking everyone but me! Thank you sir! Thank you for stealing my shit! I how your kids live forever and the women all get a fat cock and I'll just do all the work and give your retard boyfriend all of the credit!' THAT'S my REAL mimetic desire!"
