WTP is great for social interaction under drinks.

At a friends party, I was able to easily read everyone’s motivations. After they were drunk, it was even easier to understand and say what they wanted to hear.(I was drunk as well but managed to stay lucid somehow )

Many things happened, which tested my frame, old friends also brought up some embarrassing stories to bring me down from dominating the conversation. But I held through with grace, I easily deflected the jabs thrown at me. Even threw a few back, all in good fun.

I am also able to read micro expressions of the one I am directly talking to. It only conveys surface level thoughts, but it’s still pretty cool to see peoples words and their actual thoughts.

The newest log on TWTP:

@Sub.Zero

TWTP has changed me from an idealist and a man of moral principles into an opportunist whose moral attitude is the core of his social game and politicking. I’ve changed from a naive guy into a political being. I’ve become really shrewd. It took two months only… that’s really impressive.

[Viktor]

HeO did the opposite for me, i went from being somewhat shrewd to upholding my moral values above slight opportunities.

I wonder what will happen if someone stacks HeO & WTP.

[Athanaxos]

@Viktor

I wonder what will happen if someone stacks HeO & WTP.

You become the Honourable Rogue archetype. Probably

@Viktor

I wonder what will happen if someone stacks HeO & WTP.

My guess is that you’d become someone who uses a profound understanding of power dynamics for all the right reasons.

Will to Power lesson: people care only about themselves

Today we (the friends of my previous work place) are going to a wedding, we scheduled a big taxi that will take everyone, we agreed on a payment with the driver everything good

Suddenly, today, few hours before the wedding, people are starting to say in the WhatsApp group that they are not coming in the taxing, they are coming with their own cars

The thing is that we already have a set price with the driver, meaning every person will need to pay more the less people we are

Now, me and my gf would definitely think about other people in this situation, we would think about the fact that we already scheduled with other people and if we bail they will pay more

But not other people, they think only about themselves, or maybe we are thinking about others too much

The lesson i learned is that even friends care only about themselves in the end

Will to Power lesson: people care only about themselves

Therefore, appealing to their selfishness, self-interest and greed is the best way of deceiving people and gaining power over them. Only the virtues cannot be deceived and influenced that way. You would set yourself for failure going that route with them.

Read Greene’s books. That will help you progress on TWTP massively. Life lessons await you.

[RagnarLothbrok]

@Sub.Zero

Read Greene’s books

I actually read them and didn’t find them very helpful, maybe it’s because im not smart enough to understand them

I will read again the 48 laws of power though, maybe WTP will help me to understand the book better

[Trader]

I read 48LP, one chapter/law per day for 48 days. So it was slow enough I could think about the stories/examples given throughout the day and think about times in my life where I had either felt the effects of that law, seen it in action on others, or done it myself.

I was doing a loop of PCC after each one, but only got a week or two in with that. If I were to do it again, I think 5 min loop would suffice.

@RagnarLothbrok

im not smart enough to understand them

It’s not about smarts but a matter of perspective.

I read a few chapters of Greene’s book but I refused to believe that it was true about people so I didn’t care.

But after a few runs of WTP, and reality shows that everyone is that way, you see what you ignored previously and you know what, that’s OK.

It’s a social dance and we all partake in it

Run Quantum Limitless. That should fix that problem

[James]

Greene’s books are OK. I see his point on a lot of things but it also feels really limiting at times. I’m curious how he came up with the 48 Laws of Power. What was his process? Same with the Laws of Human Nature. Although that one is a bit more accessible. If I was still working in corporate America 48 Laws of Power should be a prerequisite.

[RagnarLothbrok]

That’s what im doing

[Viktor]

I read the 48 laws of power daily for a few years, And I still get new insights and deeper understandings even after rereading them all of those times.

Pair the book with taking action. You have to experiment and experience some things out yourself to understand them better.

Beware of the illusion of understanding when reading books. your mind will often make you think that you understand the information just because you see it written in front of you, when actually, you don’t.

There are things that i thought i knew after i read the book, but in reality i didn’t actually understand them. It takes introspection, observation, and trial & error to truly grasp some of the lessons from the book.

Take the information from books to real life and see how they hold up.

That’s another thing TWTP helps me with massively. Just as the sales copy promises. It improves two levels of understanding the social game, actually described by Greene in his books. The intuitive (visceral) and analytical (rational) understanding of the social game.

I secured my job relying on the former understanding almost entirely when I needed to trick my company into offering a new contract as they intended to trick me into working with none. Normally, I would have got upset and walked away, but securing the job was aligned with my long-term self-interest and saved me the turmoil of looking for another job that wouldn’t be as good, most certainly. I played them masterfully without second-guessing.

How much, if any, direct wealth scripting is in TWTP?

[RagnarLothbrok]

Thanks to this amazing subliminal i can now identify and understand the smallest micro expressions, it was not even a micro expression it was a certain look in the eyes

Me and my gf watched black panther together, during the scene in which the black panther was fighting a challenger to the throne, the camera showed a shot of his best friend watching the fight

I immediately said to my gf “why does it look like he want the black panther to lose?” She replied “what are you talking about? He is just standing there watching the fight” but i understood the look in his eyes and told her “he is definitely going to betray him”

I was right, he betrayed him

Now i know it’s just a movie, but the fact that i could identify his motives just by his look (he didn’t move a single muscle in his face it was just something in his eyes) is amazing in my opinion

My gf was shocked when he betrayed him

[Thunder]

For anyone interested there’s a book called “how to use your enemies” by baltasar Gracian, which is much shorter than the 48 laws but just as useable and practical.

Making me think about a CWON/WTP custom now.

[Evolver]

I do the same stuff with all the TV shows I watch, its so much fun to predict what characters would do based on their expressions.

Sometimes I even check the news and man I see a lot of lies.

WTP is a must in our fast paced world
