There are so many theories like this ("all human behavior is explained by mimetic desire" or "mimetic desire is the primary driver of human behavior," replace "mimetic desire" with X). They're all convincing and there's no shortage of evidence for each of them. But there can't be many things that are "the primary driver of human behavior". This leaves these theories in an awkward position: "mimetic desire explains everything" is mind-blowing but clearly wrong whereas "mimetic desire is one factor among many" is a truism.
