Does anyone know of anyone who has actually used @vgr’s Gervais Principle (https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-or-the-office-according-to-the-office/ …) to materially change their career situation?

Maybe in your circles? Not to say your circles aren’t more relevant than mine…I’m from a heavily religious background.

To be known because Girard made Thiel's fortune says too that the mimetic theory works. But if you admit such results it's strange to dub him an irrelevant philosopher. There's many good things to do with his theory: I converted to Xtianity, worked out a theory of sexuality...

And now I'm working on manners to avoid mimetic rivalries, mapping how to reach a new kind nationalism by mourning those we murdered to establish our cultures...; these last things thinking to the majority of people here in Europe that are today very far from religions.
