    Here’s the first of a series of videos that will be delving into some of the *key ideas* from The Prince, with a particular emphasis on how it applies in a *modern context* as well as the usual *historical anecdotes* that you’ve seen before. I hope it is beneficial for you.

    You've nailed the descending voice for narrating -- it is a beautiful narrative voice and very attention grabbing.

    Meanwhile, One of the 48 laws of Power from Robert Greene's book said that it is better to use your absence to make you appear less common.

      G zone Machiavelli is basically saying when a ruler lives nearby a local population. They’re more readily able to observe and more importantly react to emerging problems. A ruler who lives far away from a local population will only become aware of problems once they’ve become too large to be resolved easily.

    Monotheistic theocracies beat Machiavelli to these ideas. Instead of a temporal leader who could be eliminated by assassination, they threatened the credulous with an omnipotent, omnipresent ruler who supposedly threatened eternal punishment while promising postmortem rewards for good behavior.

      Try looking at it in a situation where everyone, high and low, rich and poor, etc. Follow from the heart those admonitions of Jesus and Holy Scripture. Not only some, and not only those who do not have power or authority, but everyone. That is what shows forth a comprehensive worldview, as if the whole world followed it's premises the world would become idyllic.
      By contrast, those who oppose such values of self sacrifice and brotherly love; if all were to follow their example, would create a world of brutal dictatorship and the everyday backstabbing of one's neighbor. An antitheistic social order therefore, is one that cannot exist if everyone follows it's example of tenets; as antitheistic govt. would by necessity begin to dictate what you can think say and believe. All in all therefore, it is best to have a secular (religiously detached, neither theistic nor atheistic) government and a theistic populace based upon the Bible.

      In a theocracy the ruler is interweave with the faith of the people themselves. By doing so they are ever present in their subject's lives. It takes a lot of cruelty however to maintain this fiction.
