Ever Read Any Machiavelli?

[Meta Reign]

Never read any myself. Which is strange considering I've come across him so many times in reading (him being the neocon Jesus Christ and all). I just ran by a few quotes of his, and I'll be damned if he ain't the GOAT of evil geniuses.

“How we live is so different from how we ought to live that he who studies what ought to be done rather than what is done will learn the way to his downfall rather than to his preservation.”
― Niccolò Machiavelli

[Darth Nubian]

The Prince is power move sensory overload. It's filled with great quotes that seem really insightful, but problem is that The Prince is designed for those who already have power and want to maintain it. It doesn't do much for those that are trying to gain it.

Read the prince in my undergrad, its a personal favourite

 

[OsO]

the prince is a 16th century originator of shyt like 48 laws of power and other shyt that will help you understand the mind of elitist power brokers. it's information that when applied correctly will help you maneuver through the matrix, but if applied incorrectly will lead to your own demise.

in other words, let it help you decipher the actions of others, but do not let it influence YOUR actions on a personal level.

please people, keep yourself separated from the actions of the beast or you will suffer the same fate.
