Rene Girard
Rene Girard was a French historian, literary critic, and philosopher known for his theories on mimetic desire and scapegoating, which have influenced various fields including theology and social theory. His work suggests that human desire is imitative, leading to rivalry and conflict, and he proposed that the figure of Jesus Christ represents a way to transcend this cycle. Girard's ideas have gained traction in Silicon Valley, where they are often cited by tech leaders and thinkers seeking to reconcile their pursuits with ethical and spiritual considerations.
