@DataDrivenMD @mollyjongfast This dynamic is prime #ReneGirard: the cycle of #mimetic contagion and the #scapegoat dynamic that thrives on a #demagogue type feeding on #scandal which blurs the distinction between #sacred and #profane.

> The people with power in the U.S. today — whose wealth has skyrocketed even as their fellow citizens’ prospects darken — have the power to do a lot to change that mindset.
#MurtazaHussain made me think of #AmitavGhosh on how views of #TheGoodLife are #mimetic , #PopeFrancis mentions the need for a change of #MindSet in his #Encyclical writings too.

> .. the conception of wealth.. [in]this framing of #justice and #equity is fundamentally #mimetic: “Until I have what the Other has, I am poor”; or “Not till I have what the Other has will justice be served.”.. this conception of wealth is founded on the #Other’s conception of #TheGoodLife, as a standard to be aspired to.. if the Other’s conception of the Good Life were to change, then the resonances would be felt everywhere.
