>randomly remember dad forcing me to read and recap pic related when I was 10>read it again 15 years later>it's just common sense mixed with psychopathic hebrew tactics straight from Talmud
>>25227583I thought 48 laws was based on "The Prince"
>>25227587how does that differ from what OP said
only a hobgoblin could write this book
>>25227641Machiavelli got his ideas from the Talmud?
>>25227641the prince is an autistic manual on being a prince written for an educated teenager
>>25227583>muh common senseIf its name was accurate it ought to be called uncommon learning. Not only is common sense a misnomer, it is an oxymoron
>>25227583It's slop on par with self help motivational dreck. It is in essence of that genre.
>>25227583It's not bad per se. It can be a fun read. But you're right that it has all been said before. I guess what makes it decent is that Greene distilled a lot of ancient and medieval concepts about power into readable modern language. But the way some black people treat it like the bible is pretty corny.
>>25227688he got them from maimonides so same difference
>>25227954Urban blacks don't have access to the classics so in many ways it is like the Bible to them, a Summa Vis for the African American reader.It's like why white women read Oprah gurus instead of authentic the Sutras
>>25227583you'd be surprised how much of this is just repackaged esotericism by lesser minds like what >>25228345 wrote
>>25227961Smells like bullshit to me
>>25227583>Remember my father forcing me to do things that never happened Great thread, dipshit.
>>25228356I should clarify that I don't think repackaging of ideas is necessarily a bad thing. The Greeks plundered the Egyptians Mysteries and Buddhism has never shied away from its Hindu roots. Those who love Greene's book with such affection probably need it more than most people. Besides, it's a fine compilation written in parables and anecdotes. If it gives them the tools to protect themselves from other, more predatory personalities, then what's the harm? Goofy but better than nothing
>>25227583>randomly remember dad forcing me to read and recap The 48 Laws of Power when I was 10 years old in 1998Why are you lying on the internet?
>>25227583RIGHT WING BASICShttp://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pi20Rr9_BxBbMIfcZUTTGslfZTifEiCmgoogle drive easy to use interface...that book in this collection see politics section
>>25228501nice load of shit you got there
>>25228425Not OP but my dad made me read Rich Dad Poor Dad when I was 10. It's why I'm a billionaire today. :(
>>25228371>>25228425>my father never bothered to educate me hence no father ever made a child read a bookIs this the part you're struggling with? Or did you think narcissistic psychopaths never had children?
>>25228501is this what I'm supposed to read if I want to induce schizophrenia
>>25228501glowies have never been subtle
>>25228773Nobody ever made a 10 year old read the 48 Laws of Power. Shit bait. Shit thread.
>>25228854Yall niggas stay responding to bait like flys on shit instead of genuine posts. Psychological component tho fosho my nigga. You came in this thread after all but not my thread where i actuslly want to learn.
>>25228854My father did, and whenever he had his drinking buddies over he'd make me recite the laws in front of them.If you think that's not something a parent could ever do, a year prior he got drunk, called me up and vaguely offered me a "test of strength". When I said yes he immediately doused my neck and chest with water from a hot kettle. After that, having to read a book didn't seem that bad.In the future, I suggest you avoid projecting your own sheltered past onto other people.
>>25228918I'll take "shit that never happened" for $2,000 Alex.
>>25228918if real i hope you smother him with a pillowstay strong anon
>>25228939Thanks. Life has never been better since I got a job and moved out. From the occasional visits I can tell he's showing early signs of dementia, which runs in the family. The best revenge would probably be just forgetting about him and raising a functional family that isn't constantly suffering from tyranny and infidelity.
>Made a book thread on /lit/ just so he could BAAAWWW about abusive daddyTake it somewhere else, bitch.
