Today on Bold Perceptions we welcome the infamous Seattle Bookman for his third time (epi 103 and epi 98). 39 episodes after his last appearance, his business is succeeding massively and he has begun scaling up. This has led him to ask himself: are revenue and sales what he truly desires? George and Bookman dive into desire and if humanity desires things “autonomously” or a mimetically. French philosopher René Girard proposes that all human desire is mimetic -or in other words- derived from social proof, what others value, and/or is a product of influence. This leads to a deep discussion of what being “bold” really means. George and Bookman also get into free thought, crypto, the Instagram influencer effect, Elon Musks’ endgame, and more.
