The Most Controversial Self-Help Book Ever Written

[@migcha8]

Love this channel. Coincidentally, I just started reading The Prince, I feel as this video might have been the summary I needed to prepare me for what's coming.

Sometimes I try to imagine a world where there are nothing but 'princes' or lions. Then what? What if it was not possible for any humans to fall into some kind of 'victim' mindset/mind-state, then would there be endless bloodshed, or true boundaries?

I've read and reread "The Prince" very long ago. Now, it's the third time. Thank you.

What Machiavelli was exposing is how basically stupid we all are. It doesn’t have to be the way it is. It’s because we all believe things without really questioning them - spirituality and religion, common mantras and means such as you have to “have purpose” in life, what sort of healthiness love is, how old or young you have to be to do this or that, who should love whom based on such things as age or socioeconomic status, that you can’t be happy unless you are this way or that way or doing this thing or that thing or found this thing or that thing in a society that is new to humanity. If you follow along with history, then you have to wonder how humans were happy for the 99% of our existence before modern society, modern careers, modern problems existed. If all this nonsense we never question is necessary for happiness and/or just the way it is, then how did we get to here? For instance, how can all women care about for mating is money when for most of human existence, it didn’t exist? How can any of the things we tell ourselves about the modern world be true and when almost all of our existence was based on not having these things to apply to?

As a possible counter balance to the ruthless antics of those who embrace elitism, I submit that the Jedi should exist outside of the realm of the business community and landed aristocracy. These individuals should be highly disciplined warriors that are willing to sacrifice their own lives un order to preserve dignity and freedom that state level leaders reject in favor of personal gain. One who fights for the sake of principle is uncontrollable, and therefore unconquerable. Is it better to be loved or feared? I say it is better to be feared by those incapable of love Memento Mori, my dear friends. Do not die without having lived to bring greater good into being. You guys deserve credit for having created a KZbin channel that never fails to provide exceptional content Happy Belated New Years ❄️🎇🍻

You should read some of these books. I’ve got time to listen, but I travel a lot and no time sitting to read anymore.

After reading the Prince, Draft Dodging became justified.

[@RodentHunter]

Been there. Done that.

Cutthroat tactics might get you into power but you’ll also lose it just as fast. Morality always wins in the end.

[@liev3430]

Read it a long time ago - it has useful insights, but merits more nuance.

[@TheF.B.I-dj7hs]

Uh.. that's certainly one way to say it..

[@arthurmarte1996]

Seems like a lonely philosophy- Just watching your back all the time... Never fully trusting or opening up to anyone in your tribe. Almost seems like a role "loner's" like Hitler, or other political leaders considered "outliers" at one point took on or take on. Wondering if that is truly a happier route then taking up a morality or code stance.. 🤔🤔

Not everyone loves a leader who gets things done even if his hands get a little dirty.
