Lyrics:

Feed on the information
Lines of data sent straight to your brain
Reading it so blindly, a necessity to gather knowledge
Follow the news, and all the papers you hold trustful
Hear the politicians speak and adopt to their vision so true

The public's opinion is fragile
Always controlled by the machinery hidden so well
Behind the curtains of the so-called free, unbiased media
Which the interest groups aim to heavily dictate

From a child to adult, environment guides the direction
Shaping the starting point, later just to be enhanced

They say that you live in a world without any worries
Where everything is going to a right direction, no matter what

Pictures, articles, video footage, the truth
All they have to offer is that one, narrow-minded view

Limiting information
Propaganda, public enlightenment
A constant stream of different agendas

The people's opinion is fragile
Always controlled by the machinery hidden
Behind the curtains of the so-called free and unbiased media
Which the interest groups aim heavily to dictate, deceit
The first successful demonstration of the internet was made in 1972 with the transmission of a message from a computer at UCLA to a computer at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI). This event marked the beginning of the internet's transformation from an experimental research project to a functional global network.

Elect me
I'm the one they should listen to
Elect me
A better representation then you
Elect me
Nothing but logic from my point of view
Elect me
Serving the public only speaking truth
I swear who cares
Who's awake an who's mad
Stacking the realest fans
A man could ever have
No voter fraud
Or invalid ballots
Or scheming off donations
Representing everyone
I don't have favorites
For i like real people
Who don't budge
When they try to bait you in
Whether you gen x
Or generation next
They want to trade you in
Too much mileage
Deep thinking
Flowing on an island
Lyrical insurrection
No January sixth
I can't believe most of yall
Fall for this
If that's the case
Elect me
I'm the one they should listen to
Elect me
A better representation then you
Elect me
Nothing but logic from my point of view
Elect me
Serving the public only speaking truth
Only speaking truth
I'm only speaking to you
Not the basis of a feud
So don't confuse or refute
You're like a computer
That don't compute
An npc that needs to reboot
Like an ugly face that ain't cute
So if you debate e and your rude
I'm kicking back
like a special interest group
Beyond the legislative
Executive judicial group
Breaking thru glass roots
But i'm shatter proof
Putting two an two together
Scattered truth
Never fight fair
Political nightmare
Blind you like a sky's glare
You're gonna need eye care
Flip em like time share
Make em noidy like your spine
Despising any spies
I'm wiser then your lies
Elect me
I'm the one they should listen to
Elect me
A better representation then you
Elect me
Nothing but logic from my point of view
Elect me
Serving the public only speaking truth
Elect me
I'm the one
Elect me
A better representation
Elect me
I'm the one they should listen to
Elect me
A better representation then you
Elect me
Nothing but logic from my point of view
Elect me
Serving the public only speaking truth
Government to help buy your 1st house. Lower interest rates
17 die in terrorist attack in a school this morning
New history museum is set to open next week
Public funding for the arts cut in half
Local hero's funeral has massive attendance
In the spring, national security to be doubled

No dreams last night
Woke up all right
No dreams last night
Lock me up

A group of city commuters cited for racial slurs
Post football match riot leave 4 trampled
Cost of health care has exceeded everyone's predictions
New curfew put into effect following the bomb scare
Will this be our most expensive year?
Corona isn’t fucking real
Not everything is what it seems
This is all a plot to sell vaccines
Rothschilds Rockefellers and the rest of the Bilderberg group said that they would do this in 2014
Bioweapons and shit like this
Man-made diseases
They’ve been used for centuries
For various purposes
Yall can suck my dick
If you don't like the truth coming from my mouth
I’ve been tryna get this message across
for all my fucking life
And I'm not gonna take no shit
From someone who can’t think for shit
Just get the fuck out of my face if you believe the lies
So if you’ve been following the news lately
You would know that this is our world but we can’t fucking live in it
Do you really think that your government has your best interest in mind?
they threw a red blood courtain!

where is the public interest that ain't with our brothers?
we lost another son!
we lost another mother!

liars!
liars!
I've been sleeping all day
Since my love went away
Front row tickets came
To a canceled game

Dreams are strange
Especially when they come true
Dance with a little darkness in our eyes
Get the feeling
Everything we touch will go
We dance with a little darkness in our eyes

Rainbows over graveyards
With widows of soldiers not coming home
Dead leaves looking for the roots
The walls that keep hope from getting through

Dreams are strange
Especially when they come true
We dance with a little darkness in our eyes
Get the feeling
Everything we touch will go
We dance with a little darkness in our eyes

Hills are burning by the fire
With the dreams of another young writer
Kids are playing at the public school
While the money gets moved to another interest group

Dreams are strange
Especially when they come true
We dance with a little darkness in our eyes
Get the feeling
Everything we touch will go
We dance with a little darkness in our eyes
Dance with a little darkness in our eyes

We dance with a little darkness in our eyes
In the ward of madness
Out of the sight of the public eye
A group of butchers
Ready to take a human life
Into the kiln of science
Like lambs to slaughter with no tomorrow
Human centipedes
Crawling at the gates of hell
Hell is a paradise

They cut you in half
Then sew you back together
Raise you from the dead
To offer you up for a sacrifice

Hypocrites playing god
Got royal flush with a dead man's hand
Standing atop a pyramid
Kings of the hill, new architects
Ashes turn to gold
Hate and respect walk hand in hand
Silence means hope
But no one will ever understand

In the poison chamber
Families are fighting for their lives
Against their will
They pay the price for the humankind
Into the kiln of science
Like lambs to slaughter with no tomorrow
Survival of the fittest
But the winners always have the scalpel
Do you have the scalpel

They cut you in half
Then sew you back together
Raise you from the dead
To offer you up for a sacrifice

Hypocrites playing god
Got royal flush with a dead man's hand
Standing atop a pyramid
Kings of the hill, new architects
Ashes turn to gold
Hate and respect walk hand in hand
Silence means hope
But no one will ever understand

We think all the same
To kill or to be killed
We are hypocrites
We kill or we'll be killed

Oh fucking hell

We think all the same
To kill or to be killed
We are hypocrites
We kill or we'll be killed

The new ordnance regarding human testing will be taking effect tonight
The government has mandated that citizens 
Will be randomly selected on a weekly basis 
To serve as volunteers in state-funded research
This policy will allow us to continue to evolve as a nation
And all volunteers should feel honored to help safeguard 
And advance the common good

Hypocrites playing god
Got royal flush with a dead man's hand
Standing atop a pyramid
Kings of the hill, new architects
Ashes turn to gold
Hate and respect walk hand in hand
Silence means hope
But no one will ever understand
Listen to me tryin to tell the truth to you
Tears falling down my eyes
I only balled em out to you
I hurt you bad but that don't mean I don't love you
Understand that I always want us to be cool
This side of me is vital privacy
Coddle me and honestly
You'll be the only one knowin
Lately I'm hardly known for being a poet
Time flies like sheep in the sky
I'm daydreaming that one day I
Can change the world
Like I changed you girl
For the worse or better
My brothers stuck behind drugs and barrettas
In the publics eyes
See deep down we know the truth
But its hard for us to publicize
We feel deeper
On the outside a bunch of grim reapers
On the inside we fight like zebras
Tryna survive, in the times
Where yo number might get rang like beepers
We be like my brothas cold but they carry them heaters
But that ain't my style
Im like a double edged sword with teeth sharper than Australian crocodile
And bars strong like African hippos
I dream like pillows
Peep em try to copy us like dittos
Survived times I'm a shell of a ghost
Experience through the mind
I'm controlling the host
Fighting a fight for freedom but may never come close
I'll always step up to the plate
I'd be damned if I choked
The West Coast most qualified, dignified, rapper guy
Feel like I'm the sky, electrified
Leaving doubters mortified
Crushed my pride
But no suicide, I'm subject to the almighty
My skills reborn multiplied
Black, it's a blessing to be dressed like this
Quick look in the mirror
Fore I give my chick a kiss
I'm talking life
She be giving me gifts
Like the research group I'm lifted
I rarely hear the competition
My mental composition
Like Warren Sapp blitzing
I kill em like Krillin
Fill the game like Willy Wonka
It's what I envisioned
This my impossible mission
I'm possible to finish
I got precision
I feel like I'm always winning
Even when I'm sinning
My death is only the start to a new beginning
But this black magic like Khaleesi dragons
Once in a generation, no fabrication but I know I gotta make it
Dear Boris Johnson you are one in a million 
But I'm not sure I mean that in the way that you think
Its your affinity with dishonesty
And your Trump like fondness for fallacy

I'm not just talking about the lies on the bus
Or the time you blamed Hillsborough fans for causing the crush 
Or the made up quotes and phoney anecdotes
That misled a whole nation and swayed the vote

You've been sacked twice for being a scoundrel and cheat
And it really wouldn't be of importance to me 
But when you're running for the office of the top MP
The are certain qualities we'd hope to see

But your falling short by a country mile
And its obvious behind that public school smile 
You're a man only looking out for number 1
And just like the party you belong to its all about the 

Money Money Money Money Money
Money Money Money Money Money 
Money Money Money Money Money Money

Now I'm not dumb but I can't understand
How you weren't locked up for giving your friend
The address of that journalist to have him attacked
But I guess just a black eye and a few ribs cracked

Now we know you like a good old fashioned cover up
Reports on Russian meddling strangely blocked
And one on your ex Jenny Arcuri
On if you funnelled public cash into her company

And you made clear your thoughts on being gay or black
With their Piccaninni smilies and bum boys in tank tops
Is there any group been spared your attack
Aside from billionaires and the bankers you rep

With your loose talk leaving Nazanin
Locked up on false charge in jail in Iran 
I really wouldn't wanna be anyone in real need 
With you in charge unless of course you've got loads of

Money Money Money Money
Money Money Money Money 
Money Money Money Money 
Money Money Money Money

With global surface temperatures on the rise
The burning question's what you'd prioritise 
But with a quick look at your political history
It doesn't bode so well for humanity 

As London mayor you buried news on toxicity
Of the air every kid in the city breathes
Now taking cash from climate denialists
While your fracking ban lasted a full 2 weeks

You promised us you'd lie in front of JCBs
But instead you lied to her majesty
And then your party increases subsidies
To the fossil fuel and oil industries 

We've all had enough of your Eton mess
We know you only act in corporate interests
Not for the planet or the nation or the NHS
Its just about time we said goodbye to you all

Bye bye bye Goodbye Boris Bye bye bye bye bye 

Lets Say goodbye bye bye bye bye.
Civil society noted disappointment in U.S. official visits that did not hold meetings with women groups.
The challenge for Meek, going forward
Will be to continue producing
Material like "Snupe"
Difficult songs addressing difficult
Issues that resonate
With the community that propelled
Him to success in the first place while also
Reaching for the kind of mass
Pop-cultural relevance that he, Nicki
And Atlantic Records all believe him
To be capable of judging by the portion of
The album he played in the studio, meek
Doesn't see these worlds as contradictory
There are clear pop efforts
Like the two songs that Meek and
Nicki argued over that night in the studio
But they are part of a larger texture
No more or less important than
Anything else confessional
Wounding songs recount providing for
His mother and sister songs with halting
Jazz-like piano riffs and drums fall
Over themselves and never
Entirely cohere hazy
Impressionistic ballads feature hooks
Sung by Future
And there's an operatic anthem that
Meek says he likes because it
Reminds him of ancient Rome

"Monster, " a single Meek put
Out this past winter, finds him
Reflecting on the darker implications of
His current situation nocturnal, rich, and
Restless the money turned me to a monster
He says repeatedly on
The hook i ask him about this song at dinner
And he tells me that he
Means the sentiment "in
A good and bad way being who
I am, in my position
You can't just be nice you have to give
People some direction you got to be
A monster" I tell him this seems surprisingly
Dark, and he nods rick Ross
Reaching across the table for another crab
Puff, agrees "It's all dark, " he says

When Meek needs a refuge from the pressure of
The studio and his bourgeoning public life
He turns to dirt bikes his
Cousin gave him his
First dirt bike in his early
Teens, a green Kawasaki KX80, and he's
Been street-riding ever since fans have come
To associate him with riding
Illegal on the street but
Increasingly popular in
Urban areas all over the
Country this past March, on
The night of his "Welcome
Back" concert in Philadelphia
Around 70 dirt bikes and ATVs
Were confiscated by the Philadelphia
Police, who had gotten wind that a "ride
Out" was being held in Meek's honor
Almost anytime he travels now
Including during
A recent trip to the Bahamas
He requests that someone find him a bike

One afternoon in LA, still bleary-eyed from
The studio session the night before
Meek and Chino rent two Yamaha four-wheeler
ATVs and have them driven
Downtown to an industrial neighborhood in
The Arts District meek, who I
Had watched earlier in the afternoon
Pay cash for the $2, 000 jacket he's
Wearing, grabs a can of gasoline and
Pours it not at all
Carefully into the vehicle's tank, spilling
Some over the edges chino, grinning in
A way that seems alarming
Grabs one of the ATV's grips and starts
Revving the engine in encouragement at
The slightest smell of gasoline
Meek's stress and fatigue
Seem instantly diminished

They chose this block because
It's relatively desolate
("I don't think cops go down there, "
Was how they phrased it) 
But it turns out to be a common
Route for semi-trucks as Meek and
Chino get used to the
ATVs, racing them quickly up
And down the street
They begin weaving in and
Out of the lumbering
Trucks they get increasingly brazen
Driving doughnuts that leave wide black
Orbs of burnt rubber in
The pavement placing their knees
Firmly on the backs of the seats
They pull up their handlebars until
The ATVs stand vertically
On their back wheels teenagers and
Construction workers gather to watch
Taking photos with their phones
After about an hour
A group of six or seven other
Riders pull up on their own bikes at first
Meek seems wary
("Usually when you run into some dudes you
Don't know in a back lot, it's
About something, " he will tell me later)
But they reveal themselves as fans
Saying they'd seen Meek riding
On Instagram moments before
And recognized from the photos that he
Must have been nearby soon the street fills
Up with fumes and roaring engines and
Blurred movement it's chaos
And at the center of it all is
Meek, by this time completely awake
And in his element
Waving his arms like the conductor of a
Dissonant symphony he smiles bigger than I
Have ever seen him smile, and then he
Hops on the back of Chino's ATV and
They speed off around the corner
Leaving the rest of us in a
Cloud of sparks and dust
He'd written so many things in so many areas perhaps he 
just lost interest. Whatever the reason, none of it had been presented 
to the public, so I started excerpting sections and submitting them, 
with a brief history of the 'lost' document and crediting Brain, to 
Various scholarly/literary conferences around the U.S. and abroad.
Tear gas
T-Tear gas, tear gas, tear gas (T-T)
It’s Jenny with the tear gas
T-tear gas, tear gas, tear gas
(We could have the Summer of Love)

You murdered them kids, Jenny, that blood’s on you
You know CHOP was a setup by your boys in the blue
Terror and paranoia from the informants and spooks
Sowed seeds for the violence, don’t act surprised when they bloom
Law enforcement, your first resort and the second
Status quo, at all costs to be protected (Yeah)
Civil rights protests is met with weapons
While you on CNN talkin’ ‘bout the next election
You can fool Chris Cuomo but you can’t fool the people
Grandstand ‘bout Trump for the East Coast liberals (Heh)
Say you wanna keep the Feds out your streets
But his goons act the same as Seattle police (Hmmm)
Authoritarian law and order, there’s more of it…
And now they got a taste for it…
‘Cause, funny thing about the tear gas
Once it’s out the canister, you can’t just put it back
Fascism dispersed, rogue police
Mike Solan’s pro’ly on the phone with Feds as we speak
And DHS been waitin’ to bring the heat
So Mike got his boys instigatin’ riots in the street
Now they can’t seem to answer 911
But got a small army guardin’ the police union
They wanna scare, panic, make mo’ danger
Puttin’ fake terror threats on the police scanner (Group of the Proud Boys…)
Public safety’s a protection racket
While Lorenzo died they played riot gear dress-up
Face it Jenny, they just do what they like (heh)
You banned tear gas, they use it the next night
You’ve unleashed this beast you can’t control and you know it
Every time you get on TV and lie, you show it
When the council tries to pass a bill, you gots to veto it
‘Cause your puppetmasters make you dance a dance that they’ve chosen
Stuck between a rock and a hard place, it’s certain
This mayor can’t handle the moral leadership burden
The city hurtin’, Trump got the Feds lurkin’
But Seattle’s biggest problem?

The world economic forum's annual meeting
At the end of January in Davos, Switzerland
Brings together international business and political leaders
Economists and other high profile individuals to discuss global issues
Driven by the vision of its influential CEO Klaus Schwab
The WEF is the main driving force for the dystopian great reset
A tectonic shift that intends to change how we live, work and interact with each other
The great reset entails a transformation of society resulting in permanent restrictions
On fundamental liberties and mass surveillance
As entire sectors are sacrificed to boost the monopoly and hegemony
Of pharmaceutical corporations, high-tech big data giants
Amazon, Google, major global chains, the digital payments sector, biotech concerns
Using covid 19 lockdowns and restrictions to push through this transformation
The great reset is being rolled out
Under the guise of a fourth industrial revolution
In which older enterprises are to be driven to bankruptcy
Or absorbed into monopolies
Effectively shutting down huge sections of the pro covid economy
Economies are being restructured
And many jobs will be carried out by AI driven machines
The WEF predicts that by 2030, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy
A happy smiling face is depicted while a drone delivers a product to a household
No doubt ordered online and packaged by a robot in a giant Amazon warehouse
No humans were involved in manufacturing, packaging or delivering this product
Rest assured, it is virus and bacteria free because even in 2030
They will need to keep the fear narrative alive and well
To maintain full spectrum dominance over the population
The jobless and there will be many could be placed
On some kind of universal basic income and have their debts
Indebtedness and bankruptcy on a massive scale
Is the deliberate result of lockdowns and restrictions
Written off in return for handing their assets
To the state or more precisely the financial institutions
Helping to drive this great reset
The WEF says the public will rent everything they require
Stripping the right of ownership
Under the guise of sustainable consumption and saving the planet
Of course, the elite who rolled out this great reset will own everything
Hundreds of millions around the world deemed surplus to requirements
Are to be robbed
Are currently being robbed of their livelihoods
Our every movement and purchase are to be monitored
And our main dealings will be online
The plan for individual citizens could reflect the strategy to be applied to nation states
For instance, World Bank Group President David Malpass has stated
That poorer countries will be helped
To get back on their feet after the various lockdowns that have been implemented
This 'help' will be on the condition
That neoliberal reforms and the undermining of public services
Are implemented and become further embedded
On 20 April, the wall street journal ran the headline 'IMF
World bank face deluge of aid requests from developing world
Scores of countries are asking for bailouts and loans
From financial institutions with 1 point 2 trillion to lend
An ideal recipe for fueling dependency
In return for debt relief or support, global conglomerates
Along with the likes of Bill Gates
Will be able to further dictate national policies
And hollow out the remnants of nation state sovereignty
Identity and meaning
What will happen to our social and personal identity
Is that to be eradicated in the quest to commodify
And standardize human behavior and everything we do
The billionaire class who are pushing this agenda think
They can own nature and all humans and can control both
Whether through geoengineering the atmosphere, genetically modifying soil microbes
Or doing a better job than nature by producing bio-synthesized fake food in a lab
They think they can bring history to a close
And reinvent the wheel by reshaping what it means to be human
And they think they can achieve this by 2030
It's a cold dystopian vision that wants to eradicate thousands of years of culture, Tradition and practices virtually overnight
And many of these cultures, traditions and practices relate to food
And how we produce it and our deep-rooted connections to nature
Consider that many of the ancient rituals and celebrations of our forebears
Were built around stories and myths
That helped them come to terms with some of the most basic issues of existence
From death to rebirth and fertility
These culturally embedded beliefs and practices served
To sanctify their practical relationship with nature and its role in sustaining human life
As agriculture became key to human survival
the planting and harvesting of crops and other seasonal activities
Associated with food production were central to these customs
Humans celebrated nature and the life it gave birth to
Ancient beliefs and rituals were imbued with hope and renewal
And people had a necessary and immediate relationship with the sun
Seeds, animals, wind, fire, soil and rain
And the changing seasons that nourished and brought life
We need look no further than India to appreciate the important relationship
Between culture, agriculture and ecology
Not least the vital importance of the monsoon and seasonal planting and harvesting
Rural based beliefs and rituals steeped in nature persist, even among urban Indians
Those are bound to traditional knowledge systems
Where livelihoods, the seasons, food, cooking, processing, seed exchange
Healthcare and the passing on of knowledge are all inter-related
And form the essence of cultural diversity within India itself
Although the industrial age resulted in a diminution
Of the connection between food and the natural environment
As people moved to cities, traditional food cultures
The practices, attitudes and beliefs
Surrounding the production, distribution and consumption of food
Still thrive and highlight our ongoing connection to agriculture and nature
If we go back to the 1950s, it is interesting to note Union Carbide's corporate narrative
Based on a series of images that depicted the company
As a hand of God coming out of the sky to solve some of the issues facing humanity
One of the most famous images is of the hand pouring the firm's agrochemicals on Indian soils as if traditional farming practices were somehow backward
Despite well-publicized claims to the contrary
This chemical-driven approach did not lead to higher food production
According to the paper new histories of the green revolution
Written by Professor Glenn Stone
However, it has had long-term devastating ecological, social and economic Consequences
See Vandana Shiva's book the violence of the green revolution
And Bhaskar Save's now famous and highly insightful open letter to Indian officials
In the book food and cultural studies
Bob Ashley et al
We see how, some years ago, a coca cola TV ad campaign sold its product
To an audience which associated modernity with a sugary drink
And depicted ancient aboriginal beliefs as harmful, ignorant and outdated
Coke and not rain became the giver of life to the parched
This type of ideology forms part of a wider strategy
To discredit traditional cultures and portray them as being deficient
And in need of assistance from Godlike corporations
What we were seeing in 2020, is an acceleration of such processes
In terms of food and agricultural, traditional farming in places like India
Will be under increasing pressure from the big-tech giants and agribusiness
To open up to lab-grown food, GMOs, genetically engineered soil microbes
Data harvesting tools and drones and other disruptive technologies
The great reset includes farmerless farms being manned by driverless machines
Monitored by drones and doused with chemicals
To produce commodity crops from patented GM seeds
For industrial biomatter to be processed and constituted
Into something resembling food
What will happen to the farmers
Post covid the world bank talks about helping countries get back on track
In return for structural reforms
Are tens of millions of smallholder farmers to be enticed
From their land in return for individual debt relief and universal basic income
This displacement of these farmers and the subsequent destruction
Of rural communities and their cultures was something
The gates foundation once called for and cynically termed land mobility
Cut through the euphemisms and it is clear that Bill Gates
And the other incredibly rich individuals behind the great reset
Is an old-fashioned colonialist
Who supports the time honored dispossessive strategies of imperialism
Whether this involves mining, appropriating and commodifying farmer knowledge Accelerating the transfer of research and seeds
To corporations or facilitating intellectual property piracy
And seed monopolies created through IP laws and seed regulations
In places like India still an agrarian based society
Will the land of these already prior to covid heavily indebted farmers
Then be handed over to the tech giants
The financial institutions and global agribusiness
To churn out their high-tech, data driven GM industrial sludge
Is this part of the 'own nothing, be happy bland brave new world
Being promoted by the WEF
With the link completely severed between food production
Nature and culturally embedded beliefs that give meaning and expression to life
We will be left with the individual human who exists on lab-based food
Who is reliant on income from the state
And who is stripped of satisfying productive endeavor and genuine self fulfillment
Technocratic meddling has already destroyed or undermined cultural diversity
Meaningful social connections and agrarian ecosystems
That draw on centuries of traditional knowledge
Are increasingly recognized as valid approaches to secure food security
For example, see food security and traditional knowledge in India
In the journal of south Asian studies
The massive technocratic transformation currently envisaged regards humans
As commodities to be controlled and monitored
Just like the lifeless technological drones and AI being promoted
But don't worry you will be property less and happy
In your open prison of mass unemployment, state dependency
Track and chip health passports, cashlessness, mass vaccination and dehumanization
Man, why you trippin', you know it's a crazy business
You a lying ass bitch and you know it
Group Home was part my company, I co-owned it
If its one thing I learned in show biz
Stay focused and don't quit Rip
Why you talkin' 'bout old shit?
They will be in the interest of complete record of events that transpired Over the decade
She was always the one that would remain up with me all night until morning
Drinking many bottles of beer long after the rest of the family gathered and retired to sleep

She is recorded passing along gaslighting lies directly from Thomas Wayne Randall with glaringly obvious
Inconsistencies from day to day also recorded is her admitting that she in fact had not spoken to her oldest sister at All
But when pressed that she was merely relating what Tommy had told her to say
To this day since she asked me to marry her four years ago

Neither her nor Priscilla have actually heard Patty's voice only Tommy's and
Text conversations with someone claiming to be her as anyone who is familiar with even a few dozen of my Publications
Both of us have distinctive choices of speech patterns
She very deliberately does not use even the most kindergarten grade popular profanity

To the extent of referring to her breasts at cheechies and penises as peepees
This requires an heroic effort of linguistic acrobatics when conversing with other adults one with she navigates With practice precision
Seamlessly listening to her choices of diction is to behold in awe and inspiring performance of flowing Uninterrupted sentences
You're not so humble prophet as surely observed most often chooses to use the words left over in the modern

Vernacular that st.
They speak conspiratorially.)

So over you is the greatest enemy a
Man can have and that is
Fear i know some of you are
Afraid to listen to the truth
You have been raised on fear and
Lies but i am going to
Preach to you the truth until you
Are free of that fear – Malcolm X

The fearful attitude

In the beginning, fear was a basic
Simple emotion for the human animal we
Confronted something overwhelming the
Imminent threat
Of death in the form of wars, plagues
And natural
Disasters and we felt fear as for any animal
This emotion had a protective function
It allowed us to take
Notice of a danger and retreat in time for us
Humans, it served an additional
Positive purpose we could remember the source
Of the threat and protect ourselves
Better the next time civilization depended on
This ability to foresee and
Forestall dangers from the environment
Out of fear
We also developed religion and various belief
Systems to comfort us fear is the oldest
And strongest emotion known to man
Something deeply inscribed in our
Nervous system and subconscious

Over time, however
Something strange began to happen the actual
Terrors that we faced began to
Lessen in intensity as we gained increasing
Control over our environment but
Instead of our fears lessening as well
They began to multiply in number we
Started to worry about our status in
Society whether people liked us
Or how we fit into the group
We became anxious for our
Livelihoods, the future of our families
And children, our personal health
And the aging
Process instead of a simple, intense fear
Of something powerful and real
We developed a kind of generalized anxiety
It was as if the thousands of years of
Feeling fear in the face of nature
Could not go away we had to find
Something at which to direct our anxiety
No matter how small or improbable

In the evolution of fear
A decisive moment occurred in the
Nineteenth century when people in
Advertising and journalism discovered that
If they framed
Their stories and appeals with fear
They could capture our
Attention it is an emotion we find
Hard to resist or control
And so they constantly shifted
Our focus to new possible
Sources of anxiety: the
Latest health scare, the new crime wave
A social faux pas we might be committing
And endless hazards in the environment of
Which we were not aware
With the increasing sophistication of
The media and
The visceral quality of the imagery
They have been able to give
Us the feeling that we are
Fragile creatures in an
Environment full of danger even
Though we live in a world infinitely safer
And more predictable than
Anything our ancestors knew with their help
Our anxieties have only increased
Fear is not designed for such a purpose
It's function is to stimulate powerful
Physical responses
Allowing an animal to retreat
In time after the event
It is supposed to go away an
Animal that cannot not let go
Of it's fears once the threat
Is gone will find
It hard to eat and sleep we are the
Animal that cannot get rid of
It's fears and when
So many of them lay inside of us
These fears tend to color how we view the
World we shift from feeling fear because
Of some threat
To having a fearful attitude towards life
It'self we come to see
Almost every event in terms of
Risk we exaggerate the
Dangers and our vulnerability we instantly
Focus on the adversity that
Is always possible we are generally
Unaware of this phenomenon
Because we accept it as normal
In times of prosperity, we have
The luxury of fretting over things
But in times of trouble
This fearful attitude becomes
Particularly pernicious
Such moments are when we
Need to solve problems, deal with
Reality, and move forward
But fear is a call to retreat and retrench

This is precisely what Franklin Delano
Roosevelt confronted when he
Took office in 1933 the
Great Depression that had
Begun with the stock market crash of 1929 was
Now at it's worst but what struck Roosevelt
Was not the actual economic factors
But the mood of
The public it seemed to him that people
Were not only more fearful
Than necessary but that
Their fears were making it harder to
Surmount adversity in his inaugural
Address to the country
He said that he would not ignore such
Obvious realities as the collapse of
The economy and that he would not
Preach a naive optimism but
He implored his listeners to
Remember that the country
Had faced worse things in it's past
Periods such
As the Civil War what had brought us out
Of such moments was our pioneer spirit
Our determination and resolve this is what
It means to be an American

Fear creates it's own
Self-fulfilling dynamic as
People give in to it, they lose energy and
Momentum their lack of confidence
Translates into inaction
That lowers confidence levels even further
On and
On "So, first of all, " he told the audience
"let me assert my firm belief
That the only thing we have to fear
Is fear it'self nameless
Unreasoning, unjustified terror
Which paralyzes needed efforts to
Convert retreat into advance"

What Roosevelt sketched out in his
Speech is the knife’s edge
That separates failure from success in
Life that edge is your attitude
Which has the power to
Help shape your reality
If you view everything through
The lens of fear
Then you tend to stay in retreat mode you can
Just as easily see a crisis or problem
As a challenge, an opportunity
To prove your mettle
The chance to strengthen and toughen
Yourself, or a call to collective action
By seeing it as a challenge, you
Will have converted this negative
Into a positive
Purely by a mental process that will
Result in positive action as well and
In fact, through his inspiring leadership
FDR was able to help the
Country shift it's mind-set
And confront the Depression with
A more enterprising spirit

Today we seem to face new problems and
Crises that test our national mettle
But just as FDR made the comparison
To even worse times in the
Past, we can say that what we are
Facing is not as bad as
The perils of the 1930s and the
Subsequent war years in fact
The reality of twenty-first-century
America is
Something more like the following:
Our physical environment is safer
And more secure than
Any other moment in our history
We live in the
Most prosperous country in the
World in the past
Only white males could play the
Power game now millions
Upon millions of minorities and
Women have been given entrance to the arena
Forever altering the dynamic making us the
Most socially advanced country in that
Regard advances in technology have
Opened up all kinds
Of new opportunities old business
Models are dissolving
Leaving the field wide open
For innovation it is
A time of sweeping change and revolution

We face certain challenges as well
The world has become
More competitive the economy has
Undeniable vulnerabilities and
Is in need of reinvention
As in all situations
The determining factor will be our attitude
How we choose to look at this reality if
We give in to the fear
We will give disproportionate attention
To the negative and manufacture the very
Adverse circumstances that
We dread if we go the opposite direction
Cultivating a fearless
Approach to life, attacking everything
With boldness and energy
Then we will create a much different dynamic

Understand: we are all too
Afraid of offending people, of
Stirring up conflict, of standing
Out from the crowd
Of taking bold action for thousands
Of years our relationship
To this emotion has evolved from
A primitive fear of nature
To generalized anxiety
About the future, to the fearful attitude
That now dominates us as rational
Productive adults we are called upon
To finally overcome this
Downward trend and to evolve beyond our fears

The fearless type

The very first thing i remember in
My early childhood is a flame
A blue flame jumping off a gas stove
Somebody lit i was three years old
I felt fear, real fear
For the first time in my life but i
Remember it also like some kind of
Adventure, some kind of weird joy
Too i guess that experience took
Me someplace in my head
I hadn’t been before to some
Frontier, the edge, maybe, of everything
Possible the fear i had was
Almost like an invitation
A challenge to go forward into
Something i knew nothing about
That’s where i think my personal
Philosophy of life started
With that moment in my mind
I have always believed and thought since then
That my motion had to be forward
Away from the heat of that flame
– Miles Davis

There are two ways of dealing with fear one
Passive, the other active in
The passive mode
We seek to avoid the situation that
Causes us anxiety this could
Translate into postponing any decisions
In which we
Might hurt people’s feelings it could
Mean opting for everything to be safe
And comfortable in our daily lives
So no amount of messiness can
Enter when we are
In this mode it is because we feel
That we are fragile and would be damaged by
An encounter with the thing we dread

The active variety is something most
Of us have experienced at
Some point in our lives: the
Risky or difficult situation
That we fear is thrust upon us it could be a
Natural disaster, a death of
Someone close to us
Or a reversal in fortune in which we lose
Something often in these moments we find an
Inner strength that surprises us
What we feared is
Not so bad we cannot avoid it
And have to find a way to overcome our fear
Or suffer real consequences such
Moments are oddly therapeutic
Because finally we are confronting something
Real not an imagined
Fear scenario fed to us by the media
We can let go of this fear the problem is
That such moments tend to not last very long
Or repeat themselves too often
They can quickly lose
Their value and we return to the passive
Avoidance mode

When we live in
Relatively comfortable circumstances
The environment does not press on us with
Obvious dangers, violence, or
Limitations to our movement our
Main goal then is
To maintain the comfort and security we have
And so we become more sensitive
To the slightest risk or
Threat to the status quo we find it harder
To tolerate feelings of fear because
They are more vague
And troubling so we remain
In the passive mode

Throughout history, however
There are people who
Have lived in much tighter circumstances
Dangers pressing in on them on a daily basis
These types must confront their fears in the
Active mode again and again and again this
Could be growing up in extreme poverty
Facing death on the battlefield or leading an
Army in war living through tumultuous
Revolutionary periods being a leader
In a time
Of crisis suffering personal loss or tragedy
Or having a brush with death countless people
Grow up in or with such
Circumstances and their spirit is
Crushed by adversity
But a few rise above it is
Their only positive choice they must confront
These daily fears and overcome them
Or submit to the downward
Pull they are toughened
And hardened to the point of steel
Understand: no one is born this way
It is unnatural to not feel
Fear it is a process that
Requires challenges and tests what
Separates those who go under and those
Who rise above adversity is
The strength of their will and
Their hunger for power

At some point
This defensive position of overcoming fears
Converts to an offensive
One a fearless attitude such
Types learn the value
Not only of being unafraid but
Also of attacking life with
A sense of boldness and urgency
And an unconventional approach
Creating new models instead of following old
Ones they see the great
Power this brings them and it
Soon becomes their dominant mind-set

We find these types in all cultures
And all time periods from
Socrates and the Stoics to Cornelius
Vanderbilt and Abraham Lincoln

Napoleon Bonaparte represents a classic
Fearless type he
Began his career in the military
Just as the French Revolution exploded at
This critical moment in his life
He had to experience one of the most
Chaotic and terrifying periods in history
He faced endless dangers on the battlefield
As a new kind of warfare was emerging
And he navigated through
Innumerable political intrigues
In which one wrong move could
Lead to the guillotine he emerged from
All of this with a fearless spirit
Embracing the chaos of the times and
The vast changes going on
In the art of war and in
One of his innumerable campaigns
He expressed the words that could serve as
The motto for all fearless types

In the spring of 1800 he
Was preparing to lead
An army into Italy his field marshals warned
Him that the Alps were not passable at that
Time of year and told him to wait
Even though waiting would spoil the
Chances for success the general
Replied to them, "For Napoleon’s army
There shall be
No Alps" And mounted on a mule
Napoleon proceeded to personally
Lead his troops
Through treacherous terrain and
Past innumerable obstacles it was the force
Of one man’s will that brought
Them through the Alps
Catching the enemy completely by
Surprise and defeating
Them there are no Alps and
No obstacles that can stand in the
Way of a person without fears

Another example of the type would have to
Be the great abolitionist
And writer Frederick
Douglass, who was born into
Slavery in Maryland
In 1817 as he later wrote
Slavery was a system that depended on the
Creation of deep levels of fear
Douglass continually forced himself
In the opposite direction despite
The threat of severe
Punishment, he secretly taught himself
To read and write when he was whipped for
His rebellious attitude, he fought back
And saw that he was whipped less
Often without money or connections
He escaped to the North at the age of
Twenty he became a leading abolitionist
Touring the North and telling audiences
About the evils of slavery
The abolitionists wanted him to stay
On his lecture circuit
And repeat the same stories over and over
But
Douglass wanted to do much more and he once
Again rebelled he founded his
Own antislavery newspaper
An unheard-of act for a former slave the
Newspaper went on to have tremendous success

At each stage of his life Douglass was tested
By the powerful odds against him instead of
Giving in to the fear of whippings, being
Alone on the streets of unfamiliar cities
Facing the wrath of the
Abolitionists he raised his
Level of boldness and pushed
Himself further onto
The offensive this confidence gave
Him the power to rise above the fierce
Resistances and animosities
Of those around him that is the physics that
All fearless types discover at some point
An appropriate ratcheting up of
Self-belief and energy
When facing negative or
Even impossible circumstances

Fearless people do not emerge exclusively
From poverty or a harsh
Physical environment franklin Delano
Roosevelt grew up in a wealthy
Privileged family at
The age of thirty-nine he contracted polio
Which paralyzed him from the
Waist down this was a turning
Point in his life, as he faced a severe
Limitation to his movement
And possibly an end to his political
Career he refused, however
To give in to the fear and the
Downward pull on his spirit he
Went the opposite direction
Struggling to make the most
Of his physical condition
And developing an indomitable spirit
That would transform him
Into our most fearless president for this
Type of person, any kind of encounter with
Adversity or limitation, at any age
Can serve as the crucible
For forging the attitude

The new fearless type

This past, the negro’s past, of rope, fire
Torture death and humiliation fear by day
And night, fear as deep as the
Marrow of the bone this past, this
Endless struggle to achieve and reveal and
Confirm a human identity yet contains
For all it's horror
Something very beautiful people who
Cannot suffer can never grow up
Can never discover who they are
– James Baldwin

Through much of the nineteenth century
Americans faced all kinds of dangers and
Adversity the hostile physical environment of
The frontier, sharp political divisions
A lawlessness and chaos that came out
Of great changes in technology and
Social mobility we responded to this
Constrictive environment by overcoming our
Fears and developing what came to be
Known as a pioneer spirit
Our sense of adventure and our
Renowned ability to solve problems

With our growing prosperity this began to
Change in the twentieth century, however
One environment remained as harsh as
Ever the black ghettos of
Inner-city America and out of such a
Crucible a new fearless type
Came forward, exemplified by such figures
As James Baldwin, Malcolm X
And Muhammad Ali but the racism
Of the times constricted
Their ability to give full
Rein to this spirit

In recent times
Newer types have emerged from inner-city
America with more freedom to
Advance to the highest points of power
In America in entertainment, politics
And business they come from a Wild
West–like environment in which they have
Learned to fend for themselves and
Give full rein to
Their ambition their education comes
From the streets and
Their own rough experiences in a way
They are throwbacks
To the freewheeling types of
The nineteenth century
Who had little formal schooling but
Created a new way
Of doing business their spirit
Fit's the disorder of
The twenty-first century they are
Fascinating to watch and
In some ways have much to teach us
The rapper known as 50 Cent
(aka Curtis Jackson) would have
To be considered one
Of the more dramatic contemporary
Examples of this
Phenomenon and this type he grew up in a
Particularly violent and tense
Neighborhood Southside Queens
In the midst of the crack epidemic of the
1980s and in each phase of his life
He has had to face a series of
Dangers that both tested and toughened him
Rituals of initiation into the fearless
Attitude he has slowly developed

One of the greatest fears that any child
Has is that of being abandoned
Left alone in a terrifying world
It is the source of our
Most primal nightmares this
Was Fifty’s reality he never knew his father
And his mother was murdered when
He was eight years
Old he quickly developed the habit of
Not depending on other people to
Protect or shelter him this meant
That in every subsequent encounter
In life in which he felt fear
He could turn only to
Himself if he did not want
To feel the emotion
He had to learn to overcome it on his own

He began hustling on the streets
At any early age
And there was no way he could avoid feeling
Fear on a daily basis he had to
Confront violence and aggression and seeing
Fear in action so routinely, he understood
What a destructive and
Debilitating emotion it
Could be on the streets
Showing fear would make people lose respect
For you you would end
Up being pushed around and more
Likely to suffer violence because
Of your desire to avoid it you
Had no choice if you
Were to have any kind of power as a hustler
You had to overcome this emotion no one could
Read it in your eyes this meant
That he would have to place
Himself again and again
In the situations that stimulated
Anxiety the first time
He faced someone with a gun
He was frightened
The second time, less so the third time
It meant nothing

Testing and proving his courage in this
Way gave him a feeling
Of tremendous power he quickly learned
The value of boldness, how
He could push others on their heels
By feeling supreme confidence in
Himself but no matter how tough
And hardened they become, hustlers usually
Face one daunting obstacle the fear of
Leaving the streets that are
So familiar and that have taught
Them all of their skills
They become addicted to the lifestyle
And even though they are likely
To end up in prison or die an early death
They cannot leave the hustling racket

Fifty, however, had greater ambitions than to
Become merely a successful hustler
And so he forced himself to face and
Overcome this one powerful fear at
The age of twenty
And at the peak of his hustling success
He decided to cut his ties to the game
And dive into the music
Racket without any connections or a
Safety net because he had no plan B
Because it was either succeed at
Music or go under, he
Operated with a frantic
Bold energy that got him noticed
In the rap world

He was still a very young
Man when he had faced
Down some of the worst fears
That can afflict a
Human abandonment, violence
Radical change and he had emerged stronger
And more resilient but at
The age of twenty-four
On the eve of the release
Of his first record
He came face-to-face with what many
Of us would consider
The ultimate fear that of
Death it'self in May
Of 2000 an assassin poured nine
Bullets into him in broad
Daylight as he sat in a
Car outside his house
One bullet going through his jaw and coming
Within a millimeter of killing him

In the aftermath of the shooting, Columbia
Records dropped him from the label
Canceling the release of his first album he
Was quickly blackballed from the industry
As record executives were afraid to
Have any kind of involvement
With him and the violence
He was associated with
Many of his friends turned against him
Perhaps sensing his
Weakness he now had no money
He couldn’t really return
To hustling after turning his back on it
And his music career seemed to
Be over this was one of those turning points
That reveals the power
Of one’s attitude in the face
Of adversity it was
As if he were confronting the impassable Alps

At this moment
He did as Frederick Douglass did
He decided to ratchet
Up his anger, energy, and fearlessness
Coming so close to death
He understood how short
Life could be he would not waste a
Second he would spurn the usual
Path to success working within the record
Industry, nabbing that golden deal
And putting out the music they
Thought would sell he
Would go his own way launching a mix tape
Campaign in which he would sell his music or
Give it away for free on the streets
In this way he could hone the hard and raw
Sounds that he felt were more natural to
Him he could speak the language of the hood
Without having to soften it at all

Suddenly he felt a great sense of freedom
He could create his own business model
Be as unconventional as he desired he felt
Like he had nothing to lose
As if the last bit's of
Fear that still remained
Within him had bled out in the car
That day in 2000 the mix
Tape campaign made him famous
On the streets and caught
The attention of Eminem
Who quickly signed Fifty
To his and Dr dre’s label
Setting the stage for Fifty’s meteoric
Rise to the top of the music world in 2003
And the subsequent creation of the business
Empire he has forged since

We are living through strange
Revolutionary times the old order
Is crumbling before our
Eyes on so many levels and yet
In such an unruly moment
Our leaders in business and politics cling to
The past and the old ways
Of doing things they are afraid of
Change and any kind of disorder

The new fearless types, as
Represented by Fifty
Move in the opposite direction
They find that the chaos of the times suit's
Their temperament they have
Grown up being unafraid
Of experimentation, hustling
And trying new ways of operating they
Embrace the advances in technology
That make others secretly fearful they let
Go of the past and
Create their own business model they
Do not give in to
The conservative spirit that haunts corporate
America in this radical period
And at the core of their
Success is a premise
A Law of Power that has been known and
Used by all the fearless spirit's in
The past and is the foundation of any
Kind of success in the world

THE 50TH LAW

The greatest fear people have is that
Of being themselves they want to
Be 50 cent or someone else
They do what everyone else
Does even if it doesn’t fit where
And who they are but
You get nowhere that way your
Energy is weak and
No one pays attention to you you’re
Running away from the one
Thing that you own what makes
You different i lost that
Fear and once i felt the power
That i had by showing
The world i didn’t care about
Being like other people
I could never go back – 50 Cent

The 50th Law is based on the following
Premise: We humans have
Generally little control
Over circumstances people intersect
Our lives, doing
Things directly and indirectly to us
And we spend our days reacting to what
They bring good things come our way
Followed by bad things we struggle
As best we can to gain some control
Because being helpless in the face
Of events makes us unhappy
Sometimes we succeed
But the margin of control that we have
Over people and circumstance
Is depressingly narrow

The 50th Law, however
States that there is one
Thing we can actually
Control the mind-set with which we respond to
These events around us and if
We are able to overcome
Our anxieties and forge a
Fearless attitude towards life
Something strange and remarkable can
Occur that margin of
Control over circumstance increases at
It's utmost point, we can even create
The circumstances themselves
Which is the source of the
Tremendous power that fearless
Types have had throughout history and the
People who practice the 50th Law
In their lives all share certain
Qualities supreme boldness
Unconventionality, fluidity
And a sense of urgency that give them
This unique ability to shape circumstance

A bold act requires a high degree
Of confidence people who are
The targets of an audacious act
Or who witness it
Cannot help but believe that such confidence
Is real and justified they
Respond instinctively by backing up, by
Getting out of the way
Or by following the confident person
A bold act can put people on their
Heels and eliminate obstacles in this way
It creates it's own favorable circumstances

We are social creatures
And so it is natural for us to
Want to conform to the people around
Us and the norms of the
Group but underneath this
Is a deep fear that of sticking out
Of following our own path no matter
What people think of us the
Fearless types are able to conquer this
Fear they fascinate us by
How far they go with
Their unconventionality we secretly
Admire and respect them for this we
Wish we could act more like they do
Normally it is hard to hold our
Attention we shift our interest
From one spectacle
To the next but those who fearlessly
Express their difference compel our
Attention on a
Deeper level for a longer duration
Which translates into power and control

Many of us respond to the shifting
Circumstances of life by trying
To micromanage everything in our immediate
Environment when something unexpected
Happens, we become rigid and we
Respond by employing some tactic
That worked in the past
If events change quickly
We are easily overwhelmed and lose
Control those who follow the 50th Law
Are not afraid of change or
Chaos they embrace it by being
As fluid as possible they
Move with the flow of events and
Then gently channel them in
The direction of their choice, exploiting
The moment through their mind-set
They convert a negative
(unexpected events) into a
Positive (an opportunity)

Having a brush with death
Or being reminded in a dramatic way
Of the shortness of our lives
Can have a positive
Therapeutic effect our days are
Numbered and so
It is best to make every moment
Count, to have a sense of
Urgency about life it
Could end at any moment
The fearless types usually
Gain such awareness through some
Traumatic experience they are
Energized to make the most of every action
And the momentum this gives them in life
Helps them determine what happens next

It is all rather simple: when
You transgress this fundamental
Law by bringing your usual
Fears into any encounter
You narrow your options and your
Capacity to shape events your fear can
Even bring you into a
Negative field where your powers are
Reversed being conservative, for instance
Can force you into a corner in which
You are more likely to lose
What you have in the long run
Because you also lose the
Capacity to adapt to change trying
So hard to please people can actually end up
Pushing them away it
Is hard to respect someone who
Has such an ingratiating
Attitude if you are afraid to learn from
Your mistakes, you will more than likely keep
Repeating them when you transgress this law
No amount of education, connections
Or technical knowledge can save you your
Fearful attitude encloses you in
An invisible prison
And there you will remain

Observing the 50th Law creates
The opposite dynamic
It opens possibilities, brings
Freedom of action
And helps create a forward momentum in life

The key to possessing this
Supreme power is to
Assume the active mode in dealing with
Your fears this means entering
The very arenas
You normally shy away from: making
The very hard decisions you
Have been avoiding
Confronting the people who are playing power
Games with you, thinking of yourself and what
You need instead of pleasing others
Making yourself change the direction of
Your life even though
Such change is the very thing you dread

You deliberately put yourself in
Difficult situations and
You examine your reactions in each case
You will notice that your fears were
Exaggerated and that confronting them
Has the bracing effect of bringing
You closer to reality

At some point you will discover the power
Of reversal overcoming the negative of
A particular fear leads to a positive
Quality self-reliance, patience
Supreme self-confidence, and on and on
(Each of the following chapters will
Highlight this reversal of
Perspective) And once you start on this path
It is hard to turn back
You will continue all the way to a bold and
Fearless approach to everything

Understand: you do not have to grow up
In Southside Queens or be the target
Of an assassin to develop the attitude
All of us face challenges, rivals
And setbacks we choose to ignore or avoid
Them out of fear it is
Not the physical reality of your environment
That matters but your mental state
How you come to deal with the adversity
That is part of life on
Every level fifty had to confront his
Fears you must choose to

Finally, your attitude has the power of
Shaping reality in two opposite
Directions one that constricts and corners
You in with fear, the other that opens up
Possibilities and freedom of
Action it is the same for the mind-set
And spirit that you bring to reading
The chapters that follow if you read them
With your ego out in front
Feeling that you are being judged
Here, or are under attack in other words
If you read them in a defensive
Mode then you will needlessly close
Yourself off from the power this could
Bring you we are all
Human we are all implicated by our fears
No one is being judged similarly
If you read
These words as narrow prescriptions
For your life
Trying to follow them to the letter
Then you are constricting their value
Their application to your reality

Instead you must absorb these words with
An open and fearless spirit
Letting the ideas get under your skin
And affect how you see the world do not be
Afraid to experiment with them in this way
You will shape this book
To your circumstances and
Gain a similar power over the world

In my view it is better to be impetuous
Than cautious, because fortune is a woman
And if you wish to dominate her you must beat
Her and batter her it is clear that she
Will let herself be won by men who are
Impetuous rather than by those
Who step cautiously – Niccolò Machiavelli
