Heard same stuff before. I would add a few quick rules that are missing (based on my experience): 1 - Don't just pretend you don't care. . . but really don't care about the final result. If a woman doesn't give you time, MOVE ON. . . don't waste your time on someone who doesn't want you in the first place.. . . the less time you spend on a "NO" the more precious commodity you save which you'll never get back - TIME. 2 - Take care of your sh**t first. Pursue a career and hobbies, do your job and be happy alone with who you are. If you are not doing what you'd like to do and are unhappy with yourself, women will sense that and lose interest in you - perceiving your feelings as a weakness. 3 -DO NOT seek romantic relationship with women when a rug is pulled from under you (ie: your life is turned upside down and you're eating a shit sandwich). Give yourself time to put yourself back together, heal spiritually, mentally and physically. This might take some time in some cases (maybe even a few years) but that is life - you need to heal first, make a new plan for your life and be happy with yourself again before you can run.
Wholeheartedly agree with 2 and 3. 1 is dumb. Sure you get the person you don't care about but why the fuck would you wan the person you don't care about? Why would you want the job you don't care about? If I want to steal your girl, I will evade your "I don't care" attitude and seduce her with boldness. She will leave you to welcome a man who makes his intentions known that she is the only one who I desire. I move quickly and you, like many other men, lose terribly. Then your "I don't care" facade crumbles to dust as you blow up her phone with how much you miss her. I win and you return to the bathroom to jerk off and wonder how much your girl loves the taste of my cock. No offense though. Nature of the game and all that.
James - to me it sounds like you have a tendency to get hung up on a girl . . .and could be potentially blind to the fact that there are plenty other women out there in whom you might find qualities that you like (done the same mistake in the past). In case of relationships it takes two to agree: If she says "no" then there is nothing in the world you can do to love you . . . in fact trying to impress her somehow or horde her will only driver her further away. If (as you say) I had a girl and you "stole" her from me and she no longer showed romantic interest in me, I would let her go - it would show that she either (a) has low sense of loyalty (b) is the type who would jump ship at first sign of trouble or (c)is a shitty communicator when it comes to problems. You would be more than welcome to have a disloyal and divorce prone woman who will take half of your wealth and kids once she's gone. You also brought up an example of "Why wouldn't you wan't to pursue a job you like?" - this is NOT what I said - but I'll give you an equivalent: Let's assume that you'd like to be a UI designer (your dream job) and Apple (your dream company) told you "no" or that "there is no fit for you at the moment" (basically meaning the same thing), does that mean you have to get hung up on working for Apple? Even if you are an Apple-phile you should look into other companies which need UI designers and keep working on your UI skills (equivalent of game/relationship skills). Working for a small company initially might be equivalent of dating the "fat chick" - you are getting experience as a UI designer / experience in relationship skills until you find the job you want or girl you want. So no, you shouldn't care about the end result with one chick - her loss and your opportunity to learn and get better. I think that FAR WORSE situation is NOT KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT (career or woman). I learned that in times when a rug is pulled from under you and s**t is turned upside down in your life, it is easy to come out not knowing what you want and being demoralized - henceforth you need time to heal/figure sh**t out and in general it is not a good time to date.

I've managed to have an e-mail exchange with Robert Greene & waiting for his promised re-response for a good two months now, plus given the fact that I saw a whole, but very short summary consisting of mostly one-liners of The 33 Strategies of War get taken down by Greene's publishers has been quite discouraging. I won't cover *the entirety* of the 33 SoW, nor the AoS. I'd spend a good 1'000+ hours (I know some of you think I'm exaggerating, I am not) creating the two series in the hopes that they'll get more than just thousands of views, but if they might even be taken down, because of copyright I would be insane to proceed to waste my time in that way.

I try to stand out again by changing my style and moving things forward and what happens. I see my shit recreated in a lazy way the very same week. The exact same visuals, the same concepts, the same ideas. I'll make a review about a new book and I'll have a comment saying "Why are you doing this one?

Overall I like your content best. Fight mediocrity used to be great (still is) but I'm not seeing much content from him anymore. Kinda weird that Robert Greene's publishers would take down your summary though... Anyways, keep going I enjoy watching your videos
illacertus Keep doing your thing, man. There's value in your content and people who find it useful will respond. Do whatever it is that you really want to do. The world will follow.
The uneducated man is utterly incapable of comprehending not just the knowledge itself, but more desperately, the notion that any knowledge can, could or does exist outside his own. You can't begin to understand how silly even joking about this is by the very definition.
This reminds me of a very effective tactic I learned at a young age; disinterest is a powerful weapon. I have had a long life interacting with beautiful women driven largely by my ability to effectively ignore them and to be unimpressed. I was stationed in California were celebrity encounters are common enough. At one Car Show I encountered a very long line of men waiting for something. Turns out a Playboy Playmate was there signing her centerfold. As women always point out, "they don't look as good in real life" (NOT universally true, but anyway). I stood nearby talking to a friend and she started speaking to me; asked my name, tried hard to engage me in conversation=, while a line of men who had waited for an hour or more were ignored. Nothing came from that, it just shows the power of disinterest. I met and talked to a lot of models and actresses over the years, largely by being the only guy in the room that wasn't staring at her like a starving dog in the presence of a steak. That technique has served me well in my personal life. I have only dated beautiful women and married well. In courtship one commits fully to the woman but makes it clear in subtle ways that if she falters she will be replaced. There are many other flowers in the garden just as attractive as she.
I wish you were my cousin or dad I'd be way more intellectually prepared than I am now, your talks are direct and tells how things are... not the way they should be.
Just keep what you doing man, I appreciate the amount of effort that you put in making these videos and that is why I love your channel. Yours is the second channel that I found after FightMediocrity's channel & I have been a loyal subscriber ever since then. Just keep doing what you do man, your channel is actually quite unique in its own way..... :)
When I was in college, my friend asked me how I managed to go on so many dates with really awesome people. I explained that I used to stink at that until I learned that women did not want an ultra romantic person - but rather someone who was a project or hard to change/get. I joked that I knew the perfect method to seduce anyone. First, line your room with pictures of scantly clad women. You know - the posters of girls on cars and Sports Illustrated Swim Suit edition. The bigger the posters the better. Then, amid all those posters - put a single, well framed print of a Van Gogh or Monet painting. Don't make it prominent, but put it in a spot that easy enough to see. When she enters your room she will think "That Chauvinist A-Hole!" but then she will see the Monet and think "but inside that a-hole is a sweet, sensitive artistic man yearning to be tamed!" and you've won. :P Seriously though, just do your own thing and you will meet someone who is worth your time.
your videos are helping me out so much I can't say anything but thank you, I've been on a constant whirlwind with drugs and alcohol.. not the best place to be in when you know you hurt your loved one's... anyways I just want to say thank you for the 50th rule and the 48 rules videos. its helping me get back to life which I've lost for so long. thank you so much and im sure many others appreciate the way i do
Illacertus, you've just got a new subscriber. I really love your content and I have already learned so much from the few videos that I've seen. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future. Keep up the great content:)
I just wanna thank you for this videos and the whole 48 laws of power. I've become an indispensable member of my new work in just a few months. I befriended my superiors and gained my coworkers support. I also used a lot of charisma on command videos(specially game of thrones Videos) to guide my behavior. However, certainly you were the one who helped me understand the power dynamics. It's thanks to you that I didn't become a sucker, "nice guy", etc. But a loved ally of everybody.
First video i watch in this channel, i made up a profile of who might you be, could not help myself about not doing so.. You are dedicated, purist and a words and languages lover, probably a smooth perfectionist.
Greene's books are right up there with Art of War. A must read and own. You just have helped to make people aware that they need to own these books. Great job.
i follow plenty self improving and knowledge learning channels on TH-cam there are many, but only few stand out and are unique, also catches eye and ears. This guy should MAKE people WANT to better themselves and use skills and tactics to their full advantage. i hate seeing bs comments or subs just saying ANYTHING but positive thoughts on his vids. keep going, they hate you, make them understand the samurai ways. Well i hope they try to at least
Robert I watched one video briefly last night and I was intrigued. The timing was not right though because I realized that your work is not the kind of videos one plays in the background while working. I woke up to continue working on my research. First video i am watching and I love love love it. This information is gold. Thank you.
Hey man, you're the greatest, I started watching your videos back in 2016, they are the best one can find on Robert Greene and till now I still watch them. I used my old account that time, but I have being watch your content ever since and I love, cheers man
I never leave comments. You are easily the best channel I have ever come across. Your analysis and level of understanding regarding the material you cover here is phenomenal. Sir I wish you all the success you can find
Many long term marriages are built on a great chase, the challenge to be together despite the odds. So poetic, and some philosophy thrown in on many of these.
I came to your channel late after watching the 48 laws of power. Wow, the powerful message you bring to me, and many others. I came to message and applaud you for this wonderful work of art. I personally love your style of the animated characters - and how you depict non fiction characters from history, I learn a little bit of history along the way. Thank you sir. Subscribed and will be checking out your other videos. Please keep up the wonderful work. Your videos are not only inspirational, their relaxing and make me think about the simplicity of life we all take for granted. Respectfully, Ned.
I also found this channel after watching *48 Laws of Power*. Your honest and entertaining presentation and red-pill philosophy has helped me better understand my often-confusing experiences. You have given me some confidence in navigating the anxiety minefield of relationships. Thank you, _senpai_. Liked and subscribed.
Anyone who knows the value of real life knowledge gained through reading books by brilliant authors should love this content and the way it's creatively presented; it's the next best thing to a "the matrix" style brain upload of a new skill to use in just a few visually entertaining minutes. Unexpectedly though, your comedic timing is impeccable!
Getting into a relationship while young is better than having lots of sex and then getting married when you're older. Most people are growing while they're young and many traits solidify themselves and become who the person is. When two young people get into a relationship (a serious one) those two people grow essentially into one, and it runs deeper than mere coincidences in terms of likes and dislikes. Your likes are her likes, her preferences are yours, that way, you mold together into one being and that breeds commitment, which is more important than love.
But if that relationship breaks that creates psychological problems with the person who refused to let go...trust issues...not taking relationships seriously ....these are a few of them..., nd the most important thing is that u loose ur individuality...u will be forcing urself to be like ur partner....no two people in this world are the same...bt u will force urself to that extent that u will end up crushing ur own likes desires nd views....that doesnt happen in relationships of mature minds....they respect eact others choices nd differences in opinion..!!
Julio Garcia I disagree, I call that insecurity. Don't be scared to live a little and find yourself. Besides, what if she's one of these good looking bird's that age fast and grow an extra chin over night? Ain't nobody got time for that.
holy shit! im in love with ur content man!!! im so angry i havent stumbled upon this channel earlier... and btw i found your channel on my youtube homescreen after watching some stuff from Corey Wayne. Keep it up!!!
(6:00-6:45)One of the greatest books ever written (How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie) was mainly a book about mini stories/examples
As a big fan of your channel I was wondering if doing podcasts where you discussed points in the books people had questions and how to apply them in scenarios. What’s worked for some people and what hasn’t. People progress in areas and dilemmas. One example might be worth 100 examples but it takes one example people can relate to click and make a difference. I just wanted to also bring this community together to help grow as well as see more perspectives on each book when we work through them. I hope to see more from you!
Your work is amazing. I often watch each video more than once to absorb all the points being made in it. I am loyal subscriber to your channel :) Keep producing quality work (Y) Because of me, my book club is also now watching videos from your channel and we have even discussed a lot of the ideas in meetings! Please dont be discouraged by the haters. There are many people who have been silently appreciating your work and benefiting from it (Y)
Illacertus.... I have been blown away by your video, The 48 Laws of Power. Last night I came across it, and let's just say I am in a position in my life where this seemed like Fate. I am grateful, impressed, and subscribed for as long as you continue. The copycats are but pale imitations, like black and white compared to color. I am not an unintelligent man, and I recognize genius when I see it. I thank you again, and eagerly await your insight indefinitely. Ian M. Donel
Something I'm happy about with your videos is the community. XD most of us seem to want to gain some form of control. However, we all seem to want these for the right reasons. Personally I use it for entertainment and thought, but allot of people just seem to want love and a raise and just decent life 😁 Props to the community
a man I'm behind a 100% you helped make me realize my view of the world was correct and I wasn't crazy like everyone around me said I was. and I love the pigeon remark I laughed for about 15 mins because I pictured a pigeon playing chess and that's what they would do lol. keep up the good work friend
ive been practicing all this concepts my whole life , their all true stay low observe lay down a trap conversation and never talk about how good you are but talk about what you cannot do .
Keep going with your videos. Every other one thats been made the lazy way does not catch attention. This is the best one. I watch them often tk remind myself and keep going with what I want to do in ife
I really enjoy your videos and will continue to watch them because of not only the great material that you offer but also the personal insights as well . the copycats are just that and I've seen a few of their videos and remain unimpressed
Being single for a while made me find a decent book to read, then when I was about to check up on "The Art of Seduction" and I find this video. I'm not a book reader myself and I tend to analyze better through audiobooks. Thank you for your time in making this wonderful interpretations and summary! + 1 Sub
I love the animated books you put up. I myself have already read 48 Laws of Power, Art of Seduction, and currently reading Mastery. I sometimes go back to the books and reread a few pages. Just so I can internalize the material in my subconscious mind. I loved your vids on power. I was hoping there was more on seduction. Your work is great, they truly help as a way to review it. I hope there will be more videos of seduction.
The real trick is to focus on your career/job/business more than focusing on them. Indirectly it does the same thing but it actually happens in a positive way. You succeed in your career as well as with women. I have been a victim when i loved truly and lost focus on my career and found myself disgusted and eventually the girl left. Even if you truly love it does not matter. You should never express your feelings completely with women, it should be always in limit like rest of the things in your life.
At 8:56 you begin the statement the we observe the similarities between humans and the natural world and come up with metaphors analogies, etc. Are we not natural beings of the natural world? These lessons you illustrate, I believe, are the sum of true, complex behavior of humans as a species, not as some superior being. I am inspired to learn more.
It's like choosing fruit sold at the store. One can pick the best cherries. Or be patient and wait for another season, which makes the fruit ripe for plucking. This can be said about attracting women. Because chasing women is the same as a hungry dog chasing a faster and quicker squirrel. Thanks for posting this video and looking forward to any new posts you're planning to put on You Tube
what you say makes sense and has a lot of deep meaning, but i have to pause the video and take it to 10 seconds back to think about what you say and understand what you are saying, each sentence you say has deep meaning and requires deep understanding to catch, that's something you say great content
I enjoy watching your vides first thing in the morning, a worthy investment of time while being a bit slow, it sharpens the mind and get me ready for my challenging day!
I figured out a long time ago that if I needed a legal marriage to protect my interests from the possible future breakdown of the relationship, I was with the wrong person. This October, we will be celebrating the 21st anniversary of a marriage unsanctioned by church or state. My husband officiated our ceremony himself, declaring us man & wife by the power vested in himself. Never lose heart; true love can still trump the law.

Dear long & short-time subscribers,
Please take a quick minute to read this.
I thought I'd bring back the old school illacertus style that no matter how many of these new 'animated book summary' channels popping up every day (thinking that they're going to be the next FightMediocrity & make that easy cash) try to mimique, there's no such thing as the original.
I've managed to have an e-mail exchange with Robert Greene & waiting for his promised re-response for a good two months now, plus given the fact that I saw a whole, but very short summary consisting of mostly one-liners of The 33 Strategies of War get taken down by Greene's publishers has been quite discouraging.

illacertus I enjoyed your book summaries. I read the books before but your reviews reinforced what I learned. Please do more art of seduction reviews!
illacertus Keep doing your thing, man. There's value in your content and people who find it useful will respond. Do whatever it is that you really want to do. The world will follow.
"You wan't to sell something, you create a need for it." - This gives me a punch. Thank you!
That's the basic of sale 101 , use that and you will sell anything. The thing is you create the illusion for need , right moment or the best price .
@@salcho011 The perfect example is the smartphone. Its' useability and advantages are limited, the price is enourmous.

This is what I've found as well. You nailed it. Women want a challenge. Most men are offering themselves too willingly.
It is true. Did you get her?
This is true i can relate
Care to expl how do you subtly explain to a woman that she can get replaced?
By having others bitchs 😂
I wish you were my cousin or dad I'd be way more intellectually prepared than I am now, your talks are direct and tells how things are... not the way they should be.
Dude. That was brilliant about the "no reproductive rights for men" comment. Very smart.
I laughed out loud
Just keep what you doing man, I appreciate the amount of effort that you put in making these videos and that is why I love your channel. Yours is the second channel that I found after FightMediocrity's channel & I have been a loyal subscriber ever since then. Just keep doing what you do man, your channel is actually quite unique in its own way..... :)
Your acknowledgement is motivating. Thank you so much!
dido
I agree. The more examples the better!
you forgot the L. you misspelled it

When I was in college, my friend asked me how I managed to go on so many dates with really awesome people.
I explained that I used to stink at that until I learned that women did not want an ultra romantic person - but rather someone who was a project or hard to change/get.
I joked that I knew the perfect method to seduce anyone.
First, line your room with pictures of scantly clad women. You know - the posters of girls on cars and Sports Illustrated Swim Suit edition. The bigger the posters the better.
Then, amid all those posters - put a single, well framed print of a Van Gogh or Monet painting. Don't make it prominent, but put it in a spot that easy enough to see.
When she enters your room she will think "That Chauvinist A-Hole!"
but then she will see the Monet and think "but inside that a-hole is a sweet, sensitive artistic man yearning to be tamed!"
and you've won. :P
Seriously though, just do your own thing and you will meet someone who is worth your time.
Hilarious and brilliant! I hope your friend took your advice to heart.
Aqib J. Gotta check this book out. Thanks
What if she asks you to explain the Monet!?!!😱😱😱
lol
WTF that worked ?? 😂😅😆
your videos are helping me out so much I can't say anything but thank you, I've been on a constant whirlwind with drugs and alcohol.. not the best place to be in when you know you hurt your loved one's... anyways I just want to say thank you for the 50th rule and the 48 rules videos. its helping me get back to life which I've lost for so long. thank you so much and im sure many others appreciate the way i do
Wow. Thank you for the kind words. More power to you, friend!
illacertus thank you my friend
Grabherby theKitty You're gonna be fine dude. Keep pushing forward.
I hope your doing well now.
You are very underrated.....And that probably proves it even better how good your channel actually is. Keep up the good work.
thank you for every single video the way your structure and words go with robert Greenes chapters come together perfectly once again thank you
Illacertus, you've just got a new subscriber. I really love your content and I have already learned so much from the few videos that I've seen. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future. Keep up the great content:)
I just wanna thank you for this videos and the whole 48 laws of power. I've become an indispensable member of my new work in just a few months. I befriended my superiors and gained my coworkers support. I also used a lot of charisma on command videos(specially game of thrones Videos) to guide my behavior. However, certainly you were the one who helped me understand the power dynamics. It's thanks to you that I didn't become a sucker, "nice guy", etc. But a loved ally of everybody.
This video particularly has a title that represents my most important change. Direct game vs indirect game.
First video i watch in this channel, i made up a profile of who might you be, could not help myself about not doing so.. You are dedicated, purist and a words and languages lover, probably a smooth perfectionist.
Not bad.
Thanks!
seeing as i hardly ever leave comments, the fact that i am leaving this alone betrays my awe at the above video. awesome work. thank you
Greene's books are right up there with Art of War. A must read and own. You just have helped to make people aware that they need to own these books. Great job.
i follow plenty self improving and knowledge learning channels on TH-cam there are many, but only few stand out and are unique, also catches eye and ears. This guy should MAKE people WANT to better themselves and use skills and tactics to their full advantage. i hate seeing bs comments or subs just saying ANYTHING but positive thoughts on his vids. keep going, they hate you, make them understand the samurai ways. Well i hope they try to at least
Robert I watched one video briefly last night and I was intrigued. The timing was not right though because I realized that your work is not the kind of videos one plays in the background while working. I woke up to continue working on my research. First video i am watching and I love love love it. This information is gold. Thank you.
Love is the attempt of forming a friendship inspired by beauty.
"Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder".
Damn
Hey man, you're the greatest, I started watching your videos back in 2016, they are the best one can find on Robert Greene and till now I still watch them. I used my old account that time, but I have being watch your content ever since and I love, cheers man
I never leave comments. You are easily the best channel I have ever come across. Your analysis and level of understanding regarding the material you cover here is phenomenal. Sir I wish you all the success you can find
Many long term marriages are built on a great chase, the challenge to be together despite the odds. So poetic, and some philosophy thrown in on many of these.
I came to your channel late after watching the 48 laws of power. Wow, the powerful message you bring to me, and many others. I came to message and applaud you for this wonderful work of art. I personally love your style of the animated characters - and how you depict non fiction characters from history, I learn a little bit of history along the way. Thank you sir. Subscribed and will be checking out your other videos.
Please keep up the wonderful work. Your videos are not only inspirational, their relaxing and make me think about the simplicity of life we all take for granted.
Respectfully,
Ned.
I also found this channel after watching *48 Laws of Power*. Your honest and entertaining presentation and red-pill philosophy has helped me better understand my often-confusing experiences. You have given me some confidence in navigating the anxiety minefield of relationships. Thank you, _senpai_. Liked and subscribed.
Anyone who knows the value of real life knowledge gained through reading books by brilliant authors should love this content and the way it's creatively presented; it's the next best thing to a "the matrix" style brain upload of a new skill to use in just a few visually entertaining minutes. Unexpectedly though, your comedic timing is impeccable!
Oh man I've been looking for videos like this that look at history as lessons and not entertainment. So happy to find this channel!
Bro you win the internet
Getting into a relationship while young is better than having lots of sex and then getting married when you're older. Most people are growing while they're young and many traits solidify themselves and become who the person is. When two young people get into a relationship (a serious one) those two people grow essentially into one, and it runs deeper than mere coincidences in terms of likes and dislikes. Your likes are her likes, her preferences are yours, that way, you mold together into one being and that breeds commitment, which is more important than love.
I like the sound of that, but I don't think it is common.
But if that relationship breaks that creates psychological problems with the person who refused to let go...trust issues...not taking relationships seriously ....these are a few of them..., nd the most important thing is that u loose ur individuality...u will be forcing urself to be like ur partner....no two people in this world are the same...bt u will force urself to that extent that u will end up crushing ur own likes desires nd views....that doesnt happen in relationships of mature minds....they respect eact others choices nd differences in opinion..!!
Julio Garcia I disagree, I call that insecurity. Don't be scared to live a little and find yourself. Besides, what if she's one of these good looking bird's that age fast and grow an extra chin over night? Ain't nobody got time for that.
Well said
Not really.
holy shit! im in love with ur content man!!! im so angry i havent stumbled upon this channel earlier... and btw i found your channel on my youtube homescreen after watching some stuff from Corey Wayne. Keep it up!!!
Don't think is called "falling in love", rather, "falling for it".
It's important to distinguish love from seductive feelings.
In love, you never "fall". Love is a choice
keep doing this. Im such a big fan of Robert Greene and there are very few in-depth analytical videos on his books. I support you the full way!
(6:00-6:45)One of the greatest books ever written (How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie) was mainly a book about mini stories/examples
As a big fan of your channel I was wondering if doing podcasts where you discussed points in the books people had questions and how to apply them in scenarios. What’s worked for some people and what hasn’t. People progress in areas and dilemmas. One example might be worth 100 examples but it takes one example people can relate to click and make a difference. I just wanted to also bring this community together to help grow as well as see more perspectives on each book when we work through them. I hope to see more from you!
Your work is amazing. I often watch each video more than once to absorb all the points being made in it. I am loyal subscriber to your channel :) Keep producing quality work (Y) Because of me, my book club is also now watching videos from your channel and we have even discussed a lot of the ideas in meetings!
Please dont be discouraged by the haters. There are many people who have been silently appreciating your work and benefiting from it (Y)
Illacertus....
I have been blown away by your video, The 48 Laws of Power. Last night I came across it, and let's just say I am in a position in my life where this seemed like Fate.
I am grateful, impressed, and subscribed for as long as you continue. The copycats are but pale imitations, like black and white compared to color.
I am not an unintelligent man, and I recognize genius when I see it.
I thank you again, and eagerly await your insight indefinitely.

Something I'm happy about with your videos is the community. XD most of us seem to want to gain some form of control.
However, we all seem to want these for the right reasons. Personally I use it for entertainment and thought, but allot of people just seem to want love and a raise and just decent life 😁
Props to the community
High quality content as usual! Great work!
"It's up to you to catch them all, Pokemon!" Love it!!
catch em all?-pokemon, this video gets my thumbs up
Amazing. I am so lucky and fortunate to have found your channel. Keep up the good work.
a man I'm behind a 100% you helped make me realize my view of the world was correct and I wasn't crazy like everyone around me said I was. and I love the pigeon remark I laughed for about 15 mins because I pictured a pigeon playing chess and that's what they would do lol. keep up the good work friend
It's crazy this channel hasn't reached M subs. Good content
Your videos are powerful. This, this is what people need watch.
ive been practicing all this concepts my whole life , their all true stay low observe lay down a trap conversation and never talk about how good you are but talk about what you cannot do .
This video couldn't come at a better time. I really appreciate what u do keep up the good work
don't give up, this video was amazing and your talent will be recognized one day.
Thank you, mate.
can't believe it actually works the story helps to elaborate the point can't wait to see what's next
Keep going with your videos. Every other one thats been made the lazy way does not catch attention. This is the best one. I watch them often tk remind myself and keep going with what I want to do in ife
I recently found your channel and I love how you artistically presented the content.thanks for the good work
This is wonderfully, and masterfully done. You present all the facts and describe all the ways one could play their cards.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. 48 laws of power and the rest. Interesting to watch and re-watch
Man I think I love you. +1 sub
I just subbed from 48 Laws, and clicked this next, he's mine now.
You're the OG . THE AUTHENTIC! Well done!
I'm new to your channel, and I have to say thank you for posting these videos.
Your insight is incredible. You're the type of person that I would have lunch with and just pick your mind. I could learn a lot from you.
This was an amazing illustration to say at least! I ordered the book about 3 days ago and feel really excited to read it soon. Keep ut the good work!
Great video man. And so true. Because every almost time I have taken the direct approach, it has backfired.
I really enjoy your videos and will continue to watch them because of not only the great material that you offer but also the personal insights as well . the copycats are just that and I've seen a few of their videos and remain unimpressed
Words like yours brighten up my day. Thank you so much. I'm glad you're watching, Adrianne.
love your videos man, been of immense benefit!
Being single for a while made me find a decent book to read, then when I was about to check up on "The Art of Seduction" and I find this video. I'm not a book reader myself and I tend to analyze better through audiobooks. Thank you for your time in making this wonderful interpretations and summary! + 1 Sub
keep up the good work and keep pushing forward. I can't wait for another one From you
I was on the fence about subscribing because I only really do so when I believe the channel is absolute quality. As soon as he said Pokémon I knew.
Seducing viewership and fan base is good business 👍🏽 Thanks for this masterful piece!
This is great channel! Glad I found another channel that provides functional information. Liked!!
I don't care what anyone says I like your ideas on life and the take what you can get attitude. You rock!!
I love the animated books you put up. I myself have already read 48 Laws of Power, Art of Seduction, and currently reading Mastery. I sometimes go back to the books and reread a few pages. Just so I can internalize the material in my subconscious mind. I loved your vids on power. I was hoping there was more on seduction. Your work is great, they truly help as a way to review it. I hope there will be more videos of seduction.
The real trick is to focus on your career/job/business more than focusing on them. Indirectly it does the same thing but it actually happens in a positive way. You succeed in your career as well as with women. I have been a victim when i loved truly and lost focus on my career and found myself disgusted and eventually the girl left. Even if you truly love it does not matter. You should never express your feelings completely with women, it should be always in limit like rest of the things in your life.
Omg I’m in love with your channel! Keep up the good work!
I stumbled upon your channel and within two videos I love it can't wait to see more
Thanks for sharing! Great video!
im addicted to this channel
At 8:56 you begin the statement the we observe the similarities between humans and the natural world and come up with metaphors analogies, etc. Are we not natural beings of the natural world? These lessons you illustrate, I believe, are the sum of true, complex behavior of humans as a species, not as some superior being. I am inspired to learn more.
Great Video. I'm glad to be apart of the illacertus community :)
beautiful videos.everytime i watch i come up with a new perspective
I was reading Robert's greene's book during the time i had to sit through mundane classes. This interpretation is amazing. Subscribed.
WE LOVE YOU.....keep doing the good work....and God bless you.
It's like choosing fruit sold at the store. One can pick the best cherries. Or be patient and wait for another season, which makes the fruit ripe for plucking. This can be said about attracting women. Because chasing women is the same as a hungry dog chasing a faster and quicker squirrel. Thanks for posting this video and looking forward to any new posts you're planning to put on You Tube
Illacertus the God!!!!! Thanks bro, your genius work has shed so much clarity on Robert's books for me!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@10:22 Well, I never got "it" out of my system. In fact, I've yet to experience "it"...
like when you say things like "remember what I said in the previous video?" in order to get us to watch it. I see you, illacertus, I see you.
that quote with the pigeon at the end was beautiful
second video and hooked, is it just the amazing content or is there at play, haven't been this excited in a while.
Love your videos! You were my first subscribed. Thank you so much for your hard work. I love Robert green and history! Thanks 😊
Buddy your content and your video quality is awesome keep making more of them they are too good,Much appreciated ✌️
You are a Stud. I love your style of teaching., Very well done..
I've lived most of my life like this. It's sad having to be conscious about life to this degree and it's unfulfilling once you get what you want.
Your work is absolutely outstanding! Thank you for taking the time to make these wonderful videos. Please keep them coming.
I love Robert Greens books! You're work is awesome
what you say makes sense and has a lot of deep meaning, but i have to pause the video and take it to 10 seconds back to think about what you say and understand what you are saying, each sentence you say has deep meaning and requires deep understanding to catch, that's something you say great content
I like the music that plays during these videos. It fits the topic of power.
I just stumbled upon your channel yesterday. Great concept and keeps my short attention span interested. Very impressive sir!
Wow, I love your videos man. Can't believe I didn' find this channel earlier.
So much insight into this video, it's a incredible work!
I enjoy watching your vides first thing in the morning, a worthy investment of time while being a bit slow, it sharpens the mind and get me ready for my challenging day!
I figured out a long time ago that if I needed a legal marriage to protect my interests from the possible future breakdown of the relationship, I was with the wrong person. This October, we will be celebrating the 21st anniversary of a marriage unsanctioned by church or state. My husband officiated our ceremony himself, declaring us man & wife by the power vested in himself. Never lose heart; true love can still trump the law.
the velvety smooth voice is captivating lol. makes me very receptive to the info
Great video, concise and good flow!
Excellent advice. Worked for me for a long time
Your videos are perfect I'm happy I found them perfect introducing them to my son🙌🏾
