We know, we know, we know. ‘Who Do You Desire? is a very click-baity title.
But we’re pretty confident that if you DO take the bait (come onnnn), you’ll be nicely rewarded.
In this episode, our resident psychologist Dr Emily talks with Hugh, Ryan and Josh about the concept of Mimetic Desire – the idea that whether we like it or not, pure originality is impossible.

Once again, Dr Emily has the answers.
