So the 48 laws of power is required reading material? Link to google talk of Robert Greene (2018) : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KcaVhMt71qE https://m.youtub

  This book is regarded as pseudo-science by psychologists. Although it's not like there is much good science when it comes to a subject this complex. For anyone wondering what the list of proposed laws are: https://www.nateliason.com/notes/48-laws-power-robert-greene https://www.nateliason.com/notes/48-laws-power-robert-greene > Law 7: Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit Always shocks me that some people are actually proud of and recommend this kind of stuff. I guess it makes sense for a google talk, especially given how the google promo and perf review system works.

    It’s regarded as pseudoscience? That seems generous, it’s not even that. It’s just a book some guy wrote. Not sure it’s aspired to be anything else. Though, in fairness it seems to have succeeded somewhat on those terms.

    you dont have to be proud of it or approve of it to recognize that this is a real thing people do. it helps you realize when it’s being done to you.

  That particular set of rules is a little Machiavellian for my liking bordering and possibly on the unethical but yeah that is roughly what I meant
