👀 Mimicking Machines: Mirror Neurons & Mimetic Theory
For the last SIDK post of 2019, I took a deep dive into mirror neurons and Rene Girard’s Mimetic Theory. If you’ve never heard of Rene Girard, you’re in for a treat. He’s able to capture so much human behavior within one simple theory.
In a nutshell, we are imitation machines.
Since he developed his theory, neuroscientists around the world have uncovered the science to back it up. I break it down for you in this post.
As always, I thank you for being a subscriber and look forward to diving down all sorts of weird rabbit holes in 2020.
