Knowing what we want
Some things we could do to better understand what, or how, we want :
- Watch those who influence what we want
- Categorise models as internal or external
- Watching how obsessed we get with what our neighbours have
- Figure out the system around which your desires are shaped; the system around which you make your choices
- Take a look at the history of your desires to know where they come from
- Own your desires, though they may be shaped by others. Leave your mark on it.
- Move towards anti-mimetic being by watching for desires that don’t make you feel restless, and something that gives you long-lasting joy.
- Above all, surrender to serendipity
