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
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)
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.
This is so refreshing in a world of those perpetually exploiting for profit or disgusting pleasure the most base of the human condition.

@@HighhPlainsDrifter Yeah. 99.999% of people never commit assault or murder or r@pe or theft, most people don't go out of their way to hurt or abuse or lie to and manipulate people for their own gain.

What he says around 8.30/8.35 is spot on. Spot and deal with issues as early as possible, because if you don’t they will likely become unmanageable. Great stuff…another one for multiple listens I think.
this channel is incredible. thank you so much for this & meditations and others. please keep going. i LOVE the modern interpretations. gives new life to these works & brings new levels of enjoyment. please i pray you continue. do more works that will help us all become philosopher kings
A friend told me to read this a couple of decades ago , never got round to it. Now I understand why they told me read it. Better late than never I guess! Plus now I can lie back and have it read to my!! Fantastic!
You have a great voice and cadence for narration. I enjoy your choice of colloquialisms for translating old words into something understandable. Thank you and good job.
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.
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.
I love this book .. first time i read the book age 20 in Oxford .. And many days i. Search this book on you tube but nothing video on these book Thank you legendary lora love from Pakistan

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.
I can't believe that this is now kind of out of date. I'll do my best to update this, but this isn't my specialty so I'll probably just get rid of the need for it.
Funny putting the template over the English princes, some consider UK has become a new principality, and a failing one at that. People forget UK has really only began post 2016 and William doesn't appear to be following the Machiavellian wisdom.
Great video to condense the book. However, youre reading too fast, and a lot of times distractingly colloquial. Like: bruv da boi in de hood cant do shyte, thats how some passages sound
I didnt understand what "modernized " meant in thr description till i heard the phrase shady used. Im on the fence, but im leaning pretty hard towards this is great.
@@nklinefCicero's 'De Officiis' is in the works, and we're currently going through some of his defense speeches to see which ones could make good videos.
@@TheLegendaryLore the Cataline Orations would be the obvious choice, but of defenses instead of prosecutions; Pro Caelio, Pro Sulla, and Pro Archia Poeta(which could be interesting to translate in that he uses poetry as a rhetorical device)
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.

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
I always felt The Prince was meant to protect people by helping them understand how people manipulate others.
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
I don't know if machiavelli meant it that way but it definitely can be, regardless of his intentions

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

Headphones on in pre headphone times is crazy.

I Machiavelli approved
Phew man that's a whole lot of things to keep track of as a prince. With all this trouble to go through one might think is power actually worth it.
Compare this information to Rod Serling endeavors, as a writer?
Is there a modernized written version available?

Is this translation found on Spotify or somewhere else ? So I can listen while driving
Not yet, unfortunately. Others have requested audio versions, too, but I haven't gotten around to setting up a Spotify account.
