      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

      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.

      ​@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)

    This is a great presentation, yet we need be mindful that “Machiavellianism” is part of the “The Dark Triad” …a psychological theory that describes three distinct, but interrelated, negative personality traits.
    Machiavellianism: This refers to a manipulative and callous interpersonal style, often characterized by a focus on personal gain and a willingness to deceive others.
    Narcissism: This involves an inflated sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.
    Psychopathy: This involves a lack of empathy, impulsivity, and a tendency to engage in antisocial behavior.

    “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.

    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.

    This should have been fantastic.
    Little concerned it opened with a leading comment about the letter being satire. That's a very new interpretation that very few, if any, serious academics give any credence.
    In fact, in his book The History of Florence, Machiavelli writes enough about Cesare Borgia to show consistency in his observations in The Prince. Not too mention his personal correspondences. When viewed in context these debunk the sataire hypothesis quite soundly.
    On another point. The speed at which this is read shows almost distain for the work. If you just wanted to get through it, without applying emphasis on the values, then why do the modern interpretation in the first place?
    It comes off as a high school project no one wanted to do and someone just wants a C on to get it over with.
    It's a shame really, this could have been truly wonderful.

      Don’t watch. We are fine with it 🤷🏾‍♂️ or buy the book and read it to yourself

      I like the speed. But, sometimes, I hallucinate and have to rewind

      I doubt that you understood the ideas more than shallowly if you think the speed is okay. Also, 0.75 sounds horrible because of artifacts and pronounciation

    Dude no offense but your hurried tone of voice and rough need for assertiveness kills the mood of the book, learn how to relax not everything has to be a race
