I know zero about Girard. This seems like a plausible and comprehensive dismissal. Would be interested to know what counterarguments there are?https://arcade.stanford.edu/rofl/deceit-desire-and-literature-professor-why-girardians-exist …

One more thing to note: there are strong evolutionary reasons why we’d have innate desires. If a psychological theory of everything ignores evolution it’s a very bad sign.
Yes that really struck me while reading it too. If it was all mimetic, you’d expect extinction in a generation or two

Mimetic desire is evolutionary though. Desires are memes, subject to evolutionary forces. Humans have evolved (biologically) to support culture, culture confers adaptive advantage. You can't have a culture without mimesis. Culture is built on imitation, desire included.
