Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

Mimicking the herd invites regression to the mean.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

There was no absolutely desperate situation in this world, there were only people who despair.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

I had once rejoiced, gradually, I became unmoved by the world. And now! All I have left is an expressionless face, my gaze is as tough as a monolith, only perseverance remains in my heart.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

I had once screamed, gradually, I lost my voice. I had once cried, gradually, I lost my tears. I had once grieved, gradually, I became able to withstand everything.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

I screamed. I cried. I hoped. Never again.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

Even if the world is full of thorns, I will cut through all the thorns in my way and pave out a blood filled path myself.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

People often betray you not because you were not good to them, but because the benefits of betraying you are too great.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

In the end, standards are not about pride; they are about survival in a world that always tests your limits.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

Lower standards don't bring peace.

They bring tolerance for mediocrity. When you accept less, you train the world to offer less.

Those who complain about standards usually benefit from you having none.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

Your pain is worthless unless it is refined into strength.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

Even if I cannot achieve my goals in the end, so what?

Failure does not terrify me. What terrifies me is to stop moving forward.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

These were just bystanders’ ways of looking at you. Those who lived according to others’ points of view were really pitiful.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

Why would insults matter to me? Insults were insults, what could they do? A superficial person would be angry due to curses and would be happy due to praises.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

I don't network.

I make friends and I help them.

I don't expect them to help me back...but they still do.

@EvanWritesOnX He is just to superficial, not considering, changing incentive structures of global players behind those states, he just focuses on the states facades alone and is stuck in static policies which they used in the past.

There was no absolutely desperate situation in this world, there were only people who despair.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

In their eyes, you no longer exist. Killing you would change nothing.

You aren’t even considered a pawn because of your insignificance.

You're likely the slave to one of their pawns, herded together with the rest of the cattle and managed by those they might deem useful.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

Do you know why snow is white? It's because it forgot its own color.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

Know the game you’re playing, the options you’re choosing from, and the information asymmetry created by others’ signaling or deception.

Outsource, delegate, and let other players do the dirty work for you. Make them dependent on you while keeping your options open.

Game Theory: 48 Laws of Power

Know the players in the game.

Understand their value, status within the hierarchy, weaknesses, incentives, habits, and values to be able to

Befriend (through mirroring) the most useful players. Avoid making enemies unnecessarily.

[Übermensch @ManipulatePower]

Signaling can increase your perceived value in the eyes of other players and, therefore, their receptiveness to your attempts.

Make things appear effortless. Appear well-connected.
Appear valuable.
And strive to embody all those attributes.
