This rule contravenes the preceding rule (Rule #5: *So Much Depends on Reputation* ) - unless one courts attention in a manner that is consistent with one's (already established) reputation.

law 48: be formless
@noctuliusisaac6667 жыл бұрын
People are often afraid of “bad attention”. But I think attention, like most things in the game of power, is a bunch of smoke and mirrors. When you are scandalous, plenty of people will see you in a negative light, and plenty will see you in a positive light. It’s all subjective and up to interpretation. Take President Trump, for a really good example. The key to this law, I think, is to be able to spin the attention people give you. In this way, you’re able to gain a type of “flexible” popularity that sets up the flow of power with scandal and mystery, and then allows you the freedom to guide people’s interpretations down the road you want them to go. In a nutshell, first grab the attention however you can, then subtly forge a lasting impression in people’s minds.

I think a lot of these rules do contradict, but I view it as you use different rules in different situations, for example in some circumstances no #1 would be more appropriate than this one and vice versa

I wonder in this age of social media that courting attention at all cost is overplayed. It's getting to the point of saturation that anyone who does practically anything for attention is ridiculed and dismissed. People who do so at all cost appear to be desperate. That's why I don't use this law often. Only if I'm trying to sell a product, and even then I don't court too much attention. I remember when I wanted to sell some custom watches I made. I wore it and a girl like the look and asked me where I got it from. I told her I got it online. I never told her I made it. So I directed her to my website (I didn't tell her it was my website tho) and she liked the product and started spreading the word. I sold 10 watches that week. I made $150.
