      Excerpts: Imitation of desire is a form of mimesis called Mimetic Desire. Individuals who desire the same thing are united by their alignment of desires. When desires cannot be aligned, a mimetic conflict ensues.

      The conflict is resolved in the collective violence of scapegoating, where both parties agree to sacrifice that which is maligning their desire. Periodically reenacting the sacrifice, prevents a return of the conflict.

      It is not that the individuals are particularly passionate about their sub-group desires, but that they are intertwined in a Mimetic Crisis of Attention (MCA) within the group, as humans naturally seek attention for status and mate-seeking.

      Reenacting the sacrifice of individuals in other sub-groups, unites the group, and temporarily relieves them of their pain of struggle within their own sub-group hierarchy.

      Because group level mimetic conflict maximizes interaction, which drives profitability, this trend will accelerate as long as maximizing profit is the main objective of the networks.

      We are at a point where the optimization of conflict, achieved through exploiting mimetic desire of humans in social networks, is inflicting a crippling opportunity cost on other areas of development and innovation.
