Ferret Wisdom

Thoughts of Todd

---

try

 

make your real offer 3^rd, but make them force out of you what you know they actually want

 

kick over the table if you’re better at picking up the pieces than your opponent

 

if you have to manufacture fear to gain support, your supporters will become what you fear

 

the trick of being government is to make your people afraid enough they behave, but without making them angry enough to take you out

 

hungry people lie more

 

it’s usually more about them than it is you

 

when you stand out and want to blend in, be sad. misery is more okay than being different

 

good people are sad and walk like it while they smile;
powerful people sneer a lot;
fighters move with grace like every minute might turn violent;
the most dangerous are always amused

 

be careful not to take too big of a stride as you might endanger your balls
