Was listening to this yesterday. Jocko is awesome and relates everything to Jiu Jitsu or business.
Apparently the āMachiavellianā stereotype of being evil and merciless mostly comes from the Shakespeare play Richard III.
@Sam Anderson Machiavelli is as misunderstood & mischaracterized as Nietzsche.
He was also a rather piss poor general given how revered he is.
@Sam Anderson General? Machiavelli had troops? He was a minor political figure in Florence during the time of the Medicis. I've studied Machiavelli closely & never knew of any army he had.
Machiavellian thinking isn't "evil". He says "If a Prince takes control of an area & allows the local customs to continue & doesn't force new customs or attempt to stomp out the old ones his hold on the new territory will be muc easier gotten & maintained". That's hardly evil & makes a lot of sense.
Machiavelli has been misunderstood as "evil" like Nietzsche has been misunderstood as a "Nihilist".
I was reading āThe Art of War by Machiavelli and the into said that he preferred conscript infantry to mercenaries, cavalry or artillery. And it states that he lost cities and battles. Idk I must have just inferred that he was the general rather than the Prince.
Now, granted in a situation with small city states, everything must be hard to take and hold, because everybody is so similar in size. Its like the Perfect Competition model.
He lost those cities because of the use of conscriptions. See, Machiavelli was punished with "The Rope" during his life(many think because of "The Prince" supposedly written to educate Medici on how to be a proper ruler) which is what caused his departure from his political life & his escape to his country villa. His Art of War is, I beleive, to be satirical take on how "Generals" meaning political figures with a uniform rather than real generals who know warfare, tactics behave in war to impress foolish princes rather than win an actual war. That's just my opinion, I may be entirely wrong.
Well you sound more well read on it than me.
And yeah from my readings he does not sound like a fan of politician generals.

Mr. Taylor directly thanks the president for watching at 8:53. What does he know?
MASS LAYOFFS AT THE HUFFINGTON POST PRAISE ALLAH
@Sam Anderson No, he certainly wasn't haha.
@VinceChaos Will AmRen host the SOTU?
Firings
Trump/Taylor 2020?
Who's seen that "The Kids did the Redskins tomahawk chant" so the original story (on the Covington kids) was justified take?
New profile pic I thought was cute, might delete later.
Regarding Venezuela, Iām low info on the situation, but Iām anti-Maduro because heās mixed race, working class upbringing, not high cast- castizo, his grandparents are ethnically jews, and obviously because heās socialist. Anyone else have opinions on the Venezuela issue?
@Johnny B. Populus smug face and a MAGA hat seems to be in style.
@Sam Anderson Yeah, I'm normally not one for following trends but, this one is just along my lines enough for me to indulge it at least for a while.
Though it is rather yellow against the grey backdrop & now that I see it it is very distracting to my eye.
Pelosi thinks she has won because Trump postponed SOTU address. She *should* be shaking in her boots because Trump obviously wants precisely to be in front of the House of Representatives. What does he have planned!?
