Awesome man. And I know - my last name does the same :) I like to think that I'm a contrarian. But then after reading Girad, or even Thiel's thoughts on it, I realize that's the trick of mimesis: you don't realize you're copying.
Word. Definitely had the thought that I was just copying contrarian characters. I haven't read all of Girard but, one thought crossed my mind. Do we copy because life is too complicated for us to work out? Monkey see, monkey do, because we can't do what we don't see?

I think that's a major part of it, for sure. It's like our egos are the filter - because true "reality" would be too much for our minds to take in and process at once. And so then we default to our survival instincts, copying other monkeys, without realizing it
