“Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.”
― Michael Scott

I read Machiavelli as a teen, what i took from it was mostly "if you gon be bad you better be the best at it"

I've never met a horse that knew so much about philosophy, let alone horses. Nice work.

Just so you know, there are high school teachers using this video in their classrooms to talk about Machiavelli. You're doing AMAZING work for it to have reached the classroom :)

“Machiavelli wasn’t very Machiavellian” that took me out 😂

One of the most profound books I've ever read. And to correct people's incorrect assumption. Machiavelli wasn't evil. He wrote about the strategies he observed people in power used to achieve and retain power. It's what he observed.

Easier to avoid wolves if you know how they’re hunting.

I don’t see Machiavelli as evil, I see his views as a how-to navigate an evil world.

Keep going, take breaks, don’t burn out ❤️. Great vibe, great synthesis, thank you!

The way I see it, Machiavelli's philosophy is amoral rather than immoral. He's saying: "Here's the best way to act in politics, if you deviate from this by being execsively kind or cruel then you will inevitably run into trouble". Whether this should be followed or how closely seems to be left to the reader.

It is interesting to note that it is possible that Machiavelli wrote the book not as a guide but more like a warning for people for “this is how tyrants act”

So happy your channel has been growing so much recently, you deserve it man.

I always find it so interesting how some people can write or paint incredible things while alive and nobody cares but then once they're gone people finally realize how interesting these things were. I just feel sad for all these people who never had any recognition while they were alive

“Unless you have been led to commit yourself by writing, your denial will go as far as their assertion. Shun writing, therefore, for there is nothing so damning as a girl screenshotting your message.” - Machiavelli

It’s crazy how you keep consistently putting out some of the best video-essays on the platform... once a week! Fantastic work, yet again.

Excellent so far. Keep up the phenomenal work. This has quickly become one of my favorite channels.

i just want to take a moment to appreciate this man's work on the graphics and how the tales were visualised with pictures and fine texting

I'm so glad he brought up the "avoid being hated portion of that quote". No one ever brings that to light. I don't believe that he espoused pure ruthlessness, but you have to be cold to a degree to survive in this world.
