The One Law of Power

Have you read The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene?  It's an interesting read in Machiavelli's The Prince sense, however, it can be distilled into one sentence:

"Promise the world while delivering absolute garbage."

Bait and switch.  A sole proprietor cannot get away with that, but hire a manager, or better yet, a team of officers, and you too can deliberately deliver absolute garbage and force your customers to do all the work.

While this used to work in the days of anonymity and distance due to shipping and information delivery times, I do not suggest employing that One Law of Power.

Accountability will be back in vogue soon.

The Bible - the movie

Was "He" really Satan?

While reading a couple of quotes from the Book of Jeremiah, I noticed that it had contradictory language.  "He" referenced God of course, but then later, it seemed that "He" was referencing Satan.  I wonder if Satanic translators forgot a sentence or two and did not tell the reader that the new subject had switched from God to Satan.  That is a pretty easy omission to make and it looks to be deliberate.

Anyhow, I think it would make an interesting movie to simply change all the "He"s to Satan if it involves death or punishment.  Leave them as God if otherwise benevolent.  Destructive vs. Creative would be the dividing line.

Because God doesn't destroy.  God creates.
