Power 💪
Congrats for having Master Green return to your podcast Chris, in 2019 Robert 1st mentioned his upcoming book regarding the sublime on your show!
I see you're speaking French, the Podcaster was Austrailian if I'm not mistaken
Lord Varys : "Power resides where men believe it resides. It's a trick. A shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow."
Where does leadership come into this?
Never enough of Robert Greene!
I have so much respect and love for Robert Greene, the last week have listened to over 20 talks with Robert, and currently reading Daily Laws. I learn so much about myself and other people.
Love from,
a Human animal.
His book Mastery has been an important one for me. Much gratitude.
It requieres 20 years to build a reputation and just five minutes to ruin it
Happen to me. Not the 20-year mark, but an entire year that I build up my reputation and it went down hill fast this year.
Mmhmm
Me too. It took malevolence and strategy to destroy me but it was done
That is why you need to be working on the things that are not dependent on the thoughts of others. Work on your character.
read the forbidden book Magnetic Aura on Borlest, and you'll see the secrets they're keeping from us.
It’s a scam don’t do it
Dude I know you get this a lot, but I really do appreciate your channel and your outlook on life. The wisdom that you collate and put out is really invaluable. I love your perspective and eloquent way of speaking. Hope I get to buy you a drink in real life one day.
It’s just the accent dude
@@dougie2 but not all. he's humble on life or more like he's stoic
@@kishananuraaghe isn’t stoic. He becomes irate whenever talking about political issues, specifically ones to do with race and or religion. and he uses sarcasm as a coping mechanism when in that state. He also does it when talking about women in the context of relationships. Not always with the latter though
"Cosmic microwave background radiation of tweets" is a great word. The internet never forgets.
Can't wait for this episode!
Is this upcoming?
Power can be both perceived and actual. Perceived power can vanish nearly instantly -- in a word, this power is perceptual, it is in context of the senses. Actual power is grounded in reality -- this consists of physical, financial and mental strength. One does not perceive oneself to the tops of the highest, coldest, most remote and dangerous mountains on Earth.
I said something along these line too, and I think it got memory-holed.
The US and most of the western world has over criminalized real intimidation, which for centuries, has played a role in either tempering or displacing incumbent gatekeepers, who exhibited overly obtuse behaviors.
If a leader is respected or trusted, the group protects them from rogue actors. If they aren’t, physical intimidation will take its natural course. Think of the Great Depression as a somewhat recent example, with the teamsters effect on society in the 20th century, or the rise of the Yakuza in Japan after WWII.
The current administrative legal structure gives incumbent gatekeepers far more power, to "perceptually" hold back or banish competition, than they’ve ever had in history because the element of physical intimidation or receiving swift retaliatory action is now completely removed from their decision making process. So, in turn, they are free to be as obtuse as they please because there are little to no "perceived" physical consequences.
Note, physical power isn’t the only way to challenge incumbent gatekeepers, but when the element of fear was removed from those holding positions in the current “management class” they became something more akin to Egyptian Royalty, as opposed to Feudal Lords of the 16th century or the aristocracy of 18th century France, who had to directly deal directly with or negotiate with uprising serfs.
For example, what would the Comanche do today if the “management class” wasn’t negotiating in good faith, versus what they did in the 1870s? For those who know history, should the Comanche, if they time traveled to the current state, just follow the instructions dictated to them without question, because of a “management title” held by an “appointed person” and whose job it was to order them around?
@@momosgarage Thank you for taking the effort to post this. I am reading and mentally digesting this.
I always said that power is an illusion but some people are masters of illusions.
'Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely'.
Power doesn't corrupt necessarily but it definitely attracts the corruptible.
That studio set is niceee
It's a green screen, but yea looks good
@@Ounouhno its not!!!

Out in the real world, wolves are king
wolves are not king, wolves operate out of fear and high anxiety. their strength is in numbers not personal power. they sew lies and mistrust to reach their ends.
Sometimes you have to trade your reputation (which is dependant on others) to uphold your own character.
Power is a game of the Ego. Psychology is the space/interface of mind.
If you want to know if you can trust someone.
Trust them...
48 laws of power 💪💪💪
this format really suits me

What’s wrong with it?
The Midwest is known for a pleasant and passive culture. Charlie Barens the comedian has made a career from it. I realized lately that they are that way because they have to play the long game in classically small and non transient communities. A harsh word or mis step can affect your standing for life. Gma always kept a certain amount of money in the bank because the tellers would gossip to the town who had money problems.
The upside to this culture is the peace and prosperity of the Midwest. The downside is the passive aggressiveness plus depression and alcoholism and whatever else would never be discussed so suicide happens in bad times
@@ffliberty BRAVO BRAVO !
Well said. ✌🏼😎👍🏼💯
if all that matters is credibility (which i thoroughly agree), then you dont need to read the 48 laws of power since it's all about manipulation and lying.
Yep. You should still know how others try to trick you. It is less of an instruction, but rather a cautionary tale. If you cannot handle others playing unfair, but their foul play will usually not get recognized. You are out.
Thank you Chris for yet another ' spot on' discussion! 🙏❤👍
,(There was no World Wide web when I was growing up)
I therefore deeply think I understand and I certainly admire the career choise you have made! ❤
(I firsr got myself an University Masters degree in Economics and Leadership; But then, having experienced the rocky career of a professional Fashion Model,, I felt like I wanted to be there for my kids; Bu not t by staying home, but by becoming a fully qualified Nurse))
You remind me of my grown up kids:Tall, very smart and handsome! 😊❤👍
Watch the movie Revolver. "Mr Gold is everywere". Thanks for your amazing content!
True power has nothing to do with what people think about you
I think its in our dna for people to get a thrill when they put another person into motion. One of my cousins favorite game as a baby was for me to fetch a ball he threw out of his playpen, he would giggle loud and happy every time i went to get the ball.
That was probably a self-efficacy experience for your cousin.
7:17 - I have watched so many of Chris's videos that I can recognize just from his forearms. They sell!
Is this episode out?
Big guests atm!
CW is JG in a Roadhouse of the Mind.
Robert's favorite shirt.
Day 8 of asking Mr. chris williamson about his turgid, tediously popmpous or bombastic, and aspiring trophy husband forearms routine.
there is no such thing as a trophy husband, but you knew it
awesome
What is this Mackie Valiant he keeps referring to.
The winner takes it all. Kahit konting awa. Psalms 144:9. The music played. Hebrew 4:12.
Baseball is a game a chance and mind games... same with hockey, football, mma, boxing... dekes, feints, all sorts of ways to "bluff"... I do it while batting... skilled players will look at your foot position to gauge where you will hit the ball... well I just add an extra movement or two to make it look like I'm doing one thing but then I do the opposite.
I'll have the whole field shifted one way and hit the other.
Sure...

Ready for Oman Robert?
Power is the only addiction celebrated.
🙏🙏🙏(non-religious)
Cersei Lannister would disagree.
Yeah, except she an excelent character created by a mind with, ahem, psychology.

Calling David Rubin, the guy who would do anything to be back in the “cool kids” club and not be known as a drifter
best!!!
People getting drunk in a room to music 😂 😂😂
Why would you fold if you think he’s bluffing…..??
Thanks for this, Chris. This guy started way too slow for me and I lost track of the pod.
Apparently he gets into some stuff that I didn't know.
Gonna go back and rewatch this one and try to pay better attention this time.
Power is pure psychology.
Really? I am a psychology nerd.
Am I just pointing my power in a fruitless direction?
Very interesting.
Reminder: never apologize, never explain
Sociopathic
No.
the grand facade
Helluva an arm
No really sherlock you mean that.. jeez what is this detective school for the blind.
My background is Org Psych and I’m a successful CEO. Most of my career has been studying successful CEO’s. Some of what Green says is true but mostly it’s an observation of psychopaths and sociopaths in power. It is not what’s required to be there but rather an observation of many that get there. Point being, what he describes is not a recipe for success but rather a common glitch in the system. If he’s describing a glitch to enable it be fixed, great but, I rather think he’s describing what he thinks it takes to get to the top. In that regard, he’s offering very poor advice. Some of the most successful people in the world are very little Iike Greene describes. Many are, many are not. I suspect he’s hung around with and read up too much of the wrong type of leader. His personal fascination with Julius Ceaser is case in point. Ceaser existed in another time when the only way to the top was how Green thinks it still works. The world evolves and Greene misses that critical point.
Yours is also an observation
@@averyintelligenceyes but mine is based on 20+ years working and studying ceos and political leaders intensively and internationally. Many are like Greene describes but critically, many are not. Suspect he’s done far less work to have concluded anything solid.
Yeah it reminds me of the all in podcast. Very wealthy men but don’t look or sound like psychopaths
Power is a game for sociopaths.
You don’t understand power..
@@SensibleNutter Actually, I do. Power, especially in the context of politics, is nothing more than attaining control of apparatus that allows one to dominate others. Desiring that, in itself, is sociopathic in nature. Add to that the fact that arrogance, deceit, treachery, and corruption are what leads to attaining that power, and you have the ingredients for a sociopathic playground.
@@ickster23 everyone is a little bit sociopathic at some level and the thing is if you don't know how the game works you are more likely to fall victim to it.
I'm glad people like you exist with this current mindset. It allows the rest of us with some common sense to thrive.
Well, anyone who aspires to ascend in society or get a higher social status wants status (power) right?
Im giving you some evil advice here to destroy your enemies
Chris: Innnn other news
Hell no. The people with the best reputation freak me out. I know they are hiding something
Aren't we all
@@Vilify3d yes exactly!! But you’re honest enough to say that. People with “good reputations” are not honest enough to say that in my opinion.
@@kathleenkaleookalanismith8724 good point
