I can’t say this is true, but it seems to me that Peter Theil views René Girard’s ideas on scapegoats and mimetic theory as correct, but views them not as an identification of the flaws we must outgrow as a species, but as a feature to be used to control and rule.
Descriptions cannot directly lead to prescriptions. Values come from you (the subject).
'Junk food is bad for your health' is a description, but who is it that decides that health is more important than pleasure? The prescription 'Don't eat junk food' is rooted in a value (e.g. that health is more important than pleasure), but you have the freedom to simply reject that value. How much moderation we should have is subjective.
