IGNORING REALITY DOESN'T CHANGE IT
Regretfully, Ignoring Manifestations Of This Reality Doesn’t Change It
Well, this is surely rounding out the picture regarding what the Machiavellian test is all about.
This article takes things further. It explains how High Machs are or become (nature versus nurture?) High Machs. If this article seems to be about human dynamics which some don’t willingly recognise. And yes, it can be very difficult to recognise or relate to anything this sociopathic sounding. However, the more alien this sounds to you the greater the chances are that one’s own resistance to understanding what this article is describing also may indicate that one is probably unconsciously on the receiving end of another’s power machinations rather than being on the power end. Those seem to be the only options. I wonder.
Machiavellian this may be, even terrifying, but this does not make the reality of it any less real. Kind of scary to consider it though, isn’t it? This article clearly illustrates that those who choose the position of powerlessness only are left the option to serve the Dr. Jekyll power mongers who are everywhere. Those who prefer powerlessness apparently enable the use and abuse of power by the Mr. Hyde side of those same disguised but power mongering types. It looks rather as if most must be minions who choose to ignore the reality of how power works, preferring to pretend that the human dynamics of power do not operate in this way. Worse yet, if this Law has any credence, it makes it clear that retreat and isolation are not viable options, as this kind of human power monger is everywhere! So much for living on the fringes?
Care to comment, anyone?
