MysticWicks endorsement: ""Oooh, I'm a Discordian! I can do whatever I want! Which means I can just SAY I'm a pagan but I never bother doing rituals or studying any kind of sacred texts or developing a relationship with deity, etc! I can go around and not be Christian, but I won't quite be anything else either because I just can't commit and I can't be ARSED to commit!"

This guy is described as the Indian Machiavelli, and is quoted several times in Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power.

You can read his 15 chapter book, for free, at this link:

Anything Greene quotes repeatedly has got to have something to it.  Thanks, Cain.
