Visualizing Mimesis

3 NFTs to celebrate the launch of "Wanting" by @lukeburgis.

"Mimetic Desire All the Way Down"

People want what other people want because other people want it.
"Who do they think I think I am?"

Desires derived from what we think another person thinks they want. Image
"Opening Bid"

Value isn’t in the eye of the beholder; it’s in the eyes of the other beholders beholding me beholding, and wondering why.
The book is magnificent, please pick it up if you're interested in understanding why you want what you want.

Read Luke's masterful description of each piece, and bid here:

The unbundling of central narratives changes the nature of investment decisions dramatically.

Everyone has a unique media diet, and the result is a different view of what the future is going to look like.

Think the @BoredApeYC art is incredible or believe in the power of scarce assets that people can attach their identities to? There’s a bet you can make.

Think the Doge meme is just getting started or @elonmusk is legitimately working on it? There's a bet you can make.
