you are high status you are safe (causing your cortisol levels
to fall).
The assumption that life at the top of the hierarchy is
safe and life at the bottom of the hierarchy is dangerous
is an accurate assumption in most hierarchies most of
the time (see the ‘Life and Death Stakes’ section above).
Your brain also regulates the release of serotonin based
on what it detects your relative status to be; when you are
high status, your brain detects this and releases high levels
of serotonin. When you are low status, your brain detects
this and restricts the release of serotonin
The biochemical state that is typical of depression, and
the biochemical state that is caused by having low status in
a hierarchy, are identical; low serotonin. As the 48 Laws
said, “…powerlessness will make you miserable.” Notably,
the part of the brain that tracks your relative status is older
and more deeply engrained than the part of your brain that
tells your lungs to breathe.
There are those who will claim they do not care about their
relative status or relative level of wealth; they care only
about their absolute level of wealth.
Such people are worthy of laughter; they are lying,
mostly to themselves. Whether you care to admit it or not,
the serotonergic system in your brain cares intensely about
your relative status.
High serotonin tends to inhibit emotions, both positive
and negative. The practical consequence is that high status
people with their high serotonin levels !nd it easier to

Warning Signs of
Psychopathy
N
ote that real psychopathy, zero fear and zero
compassion/guilt, having a dysfunctional or
inactive amygdala, is extremely rare. We‘re
talking about 1/1000 adult men.
Many men who are simply below average on fear and
compassion (Neuroticism and Agreeableness) will be
labeled as ‘Psychopathic‘ by many psychologists, but they
are not.
The only way you can verify a man is psychopathic with
100% certainty, is if you subject him to Brain Scans, and
they show zero amygdalic function. That aside, there are
some fairly reliable warning signs.

caught acting on their sadistic tendencies when they are
very young (children, under the age of 16) by hurting
animals, just for fun.
If your son hurts animals just for fun at a very young
age...there is a very high chance he is psychopathic. Each
one of those 6 aforementioned traits is RARE. All 6 of them
being together in 1 man makes the probability they are
psychopathic practically 100%.

F
or charming people, 1 vs 1, have calm and

It is a good idea to *appear* to be grateful to people,
even if you are not because you know they helped you
purely to serve their own interests because doing so enables
you to charm them, thus making it easier to get favors from
them again in the future.
When trying to appeal to the masses, whether to charm
them (make them like you), or persuade them, or manipu‐
late them, you need your message to be SIMPLE and
EMOTIONALLY CHARGED. Example: ‘Make America
Great Again‘.
Use charm even on people who hate you and who
are actively harming you. Emanate warmth and polite‐
ness, even when a person harms or insults you. This wins
you respect. It also wins you love. Both of these encourage
them to be helpful to you instead of harmful. If they‘re

Narcissism
N
arcissism isn’t always bad. Sadness and
depression are bad for your health. Anger and
narcissism are also bad for your health.
However, sadness and depression will destroy your
performance, and while anger and narcissism are not ideal
for performance they are an immense improvement over
sadness and depression. If your life is terrible, do what you
can to convert your suffering into anger and narcissism.
As much as I !nd narcissism to be distasteful, I must
admit it does seem to enhance performance in many
domains. Narcissistic men often make great salesmen and
politicians; the masses !nd their narcissism to be charis‐
matic. Trump is a contemporary example.
It would be dishonest to say that narcissism is all bad;
grandiose narcissists often make great salesmen, con—
men, and politicians. While wise men !nd narcissists to be
distasteful, fools (the masses) often !nd narcissists to be
charismatic.

Manifestations
P
sychopathy is over-diagnosed. If you rank
extremely low on Agreeableness and Neuroticism
(compassion, fear), most academic researchers,
psychologists, and psychiatrists, will consider you ‘Psycho‐
pathic‘ but you are not.
Psychopathy =
—inactive amygdala (show by brain scans)
—ZERO compassion
—ZERO fear
There is a universe of difference between ‘Very Low‘
compassion/fear, and ‘ZERO‘ compassion/fear.
Many academic researches will tell you that the inci‐
dence of psychopathy is 4% of adult men. This is ludicrous.
REAL PSYCHOPATHY, an inactive amygdala with *zero fear
response*, is more like One In A Thousand, or 0.1%
of men.

Intelligent versus
Dumb psychopaths
Intelligent Psychopaths
I
ntelligent Psychopaths have very distinct speech
patterns, which makes it easy to spot them.
However, even with this being the case, spotting
intelligent psychopaths is still going to be dif!cult or
impossible for most people, because the only way to be able
to recognize these distinct speech patterns, is if you‘ve
spent signi!cant time around Intelligent Psychopaths, and
heard them speak, AND recognized they were psychopathic
due to something which had nothing to do with their
speech patterns.
Intelligent Psychopaths tend to be able to have good
enough impulse control. They do not run around randomly
harming people for no reason, or when doing so is counter‐
productive to their interests.
Intelligent Psychopaths only in#ict harm when it
advances their interests; they get some tangible bene!ts
from doing so (...usually).

N
ot all psychopaths are bad people. Psychopathy
just means one has an inactive amygdala,
causing them to experience *zero* fear and
compassion. The thing is...just because you don‘t *FEEL*
compassion, does not mean, you cannot *CHOOSE* to do
the morally right thing.
Morally Right Thing = NOT brazenly harm innocent
people for your own gain. Granted, very, very few
psychopaths are going to voluntarily choose to do the
morally right thing, when no feelings of compassion or
guilt are pressuring them to. Those that do are exceptional.
That indifference is what a psychopath experiences,
when a bomb goes off 100 feet away from them...and kills
17 people, who they can see die. Every psychologically
normal person knows what it is like to experience what a
psychopath experiences when it comes to people in a
foreign country they‘ve never met suddenly being killed.

that Establishment Elites care so much about maintaining

You do not win political con"icts or wars by being

T
op 10% to 0.1% way harder competition is more
competent as you go up the hierarchy. Going from
0th to 90th percentile is easy. Going from 90th
percentile to 99th percentile is hard.
If you go high enough in the corporate hierarchy, it will
get to the point where in order to get promoted higher you
need the person 1 rank above you TO BE ELIMINATED.
When in a top 10% corporate position, people would do
me favors, but I had to put some effort into charming them
to get their cooperation. When in a top 1% corporate posi‐
tion, people would GO OUT OF THEIR WAY to help me, for
fear of the consequences for failing to do so.
Whenever you enter at the bottom of an *already estab‐

creativity is unlikely to get you promoted.

T
he Life Expectancy for a person of average wealth
in China is 76. The Life Expectancy for a Billion‐
aire in China is 47.

death for those at the pinnacle of China‘s Dominance
Hierarchy.
If the crimes and backroom deals of the established
ruling class were fully exposed, ambitious men 2—3 rungs
below the incumbent ruling class would easily be able to
rally the masses to overthrow the existing hierarchy and
install an alternative, namely themselves.

I
take “The 48 Laws of Power “by Robert Greene
seriously because a multimillionaire investment
banker with extensive experience dealing with people
at the pinnacle of the american macro hierarchy told me
“Read this. It was helpful in my own career, these past
few years.”
