'The Prince' by Niccolò Machiavelli - The Complete Book in Today's Language

[@DarinPirkey]

I always felt The Prince was meant to protect people by helping them understand how people manipulate others.

[@Hidalgoes]

Even in the movie the prince wanted Ariel to get her voice back he didn’t just want a goth chick if she was secretly a fat aquatic sorceress embodying the chaotic menopausal feminine

[@hassanalkhalifah1565]

I don't know if machiavelli meant it that way but it definitely can be, regardless of his intentions And if people did see it (machiavellianism) in the politicians, the world would be a much better place by now

[@allenandrews2380]

That makes sense. Why publish it and expose all of these machinations otherwise?

[@allenandrews2380]

48 laws of power is often misinterpreted as a guide to " being a self serving manipulator" as well. But that author intended to enlighten with it as well.

[@illosovic]

​@allenandrews2380 you haven't read the book if you don't think it wasn't meant as a guide, read just the first law, notice how it's not enlightening the reader to be weary of people who never outshine their master and how it's in an instructional perspective (if you're referring to Robert's interview, you'll have to read his other book "the laws of human nature" to understand why he said that in that clip)

[@KarenHahn-g6h]

The Prince needs to be a requirement for anyone seeking high office. Understanding the past is a key to the future. Machiavelli is as relevant today as it was in the 17th century.

[@josephstumpp8804]

[@BobBarkerScientificHeretic]

What a historically significant writing about the acquisition of and the maintaining of power. I do have one question, how valid is the methodologies laid out here under a technocracy? Technological dominance is an entirely novel power differential which ultimately nullifies would be subjects and their their ability to revolt against over reaching tyranny. The days of torches and pitchforks are a long gone aspect of the balance of power of a would be ruler. This is why Technocracy is so frightening to me personally speaking.

I grabbed your Marcus Aurelius Meditations book , loving it so far. I think it's going to be easier to get others into stoicism since it's in today's language. Maybe an Epictetus book next?

Thank you, brother. I hope you're right that it will help more people get a grasp of what stoicism is about. Epictetus is a great idea! We're planning to release his "Enchiridion" in video format soon-it's a fantastic short-ish introduction to stoicism, while "Discourses" would probably work well in book format.

Chapter 23 “Beware of brown-nosers” 😉. “Flattery is like a drug; addictive and dangerous.” The part about being weary of flatterers, amongst your advisors and your innermost circle. Warrants a quick review of the way he’s chosen to introduce this “gift” to the next successor of the De Medici lineage. 🧐🐍(I can’t remember where this is explained, I assume I didn’t pay attention when I’d heard, what I’ve just now understood.) Then again, seldom does such an adjective and noun originate from one’s name, without earning it. IMO😅!!

2:20 Possibly one of the most untrue statements in history, right at the start The thing about The Prince is it's not terribly complicated, it's mostly just presented in the most pretentious way imaginable, and lies to your face about not doing so. It's like how his book called "The Art of War" is not really about war at all and is basically just him saying "look at all these cool people I hang out with!" then proceeding to tediously recall a conversation between a bunch of characters from Assassin's Creed 2 masturbating to how cool the Romans used to be in somebody's back garden.
