I actually wasn't talking about the "48 laws" in this comment - this was talking about RawPower's post about them, based on my suspicion that he found the idea that "real life works like this" plausible because he didn't think of things when he tried to think of things that didn't work like this. For what I think about the "48 laws," see here.

Feel free to use me to project onto though, if an interesting post comes out of it :D

Ah! I apologize! I thought that you were making a general statement about how the 'Laws' worked their 'magic.' I assumed you were treating them like they were horoscopes or something.

Now where would I get that idea?

Also, I am faced with the truly daunting task of asking myself if believing Robert Greene is really rational or not. It's not looking pretty.
