Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions
Use decoyed objects and desires and red herrings to throw people off the scent

Hide your intentions not by closing up (with the risk of appearing secretive, and making people suspicious) but by talking endlessly about your desires and goals - just not your real ones.

You will kill three birds with one stone: You appear friendly, open, and trusting; you conceal your intentions; and you send your rivals on time-consuming wild-goose chases.

Use smoke screens to disguise your actions. This derives from a simple truth: people can only focus on one thing at a time. It is really too difficult for them to imagine that the bland and harmless person they are dealing with is simultaneously setting up something else

As Kierkegaard wrote, “The world wants to be deceived.”

This is what Razor tried to do, and as I have been saying about all the rules, if you’re not naturally inclined towards this type of behavior it is transparent. He’s a self admitted trailer park incel. He is not a street guy. It doesn’t work.

He should be a lesson in what can go wrong if you think you’re slick trying this material out, and he’s been trying for years now.

I’m just saying… there is a certain type of person these things are inherently natural to. Think about if you want your son to be that guy. Someone everyone loves in public but they go home after work and they say, that guy is a shark. Notice that every story attached to those principles is a street guy in some way, even Madonna. It’s one of those things where, if you know you know. Just saying.


Maybe though, as all situations have a caveat now and then, the greatest practitioner of this for the greater good was Dwight Eisenhower. Hell of a biography if you want to hand that to your son. Top 5 president and nobody talks about him that way. Kind of the point.

Thank you for the recommendation. I think my son will greatly appreciate that .

Well @Sega Genesis my son was raised by me. I have had to be shrewd in my dealings when necessary, and yet remain affable & likeable. My children grew up observing this. They also observed me getting let out of jobs once in a while for breaking Law 1: Never Outshine the Master. So they know and have observed from my experiences.

Law 1 and Law 3 are therefore closely linked. He knows.

I understand Machiavellian way and I understand Sun Tzu as well. Both The Prince and The Art of War are also on my bedside table. My son studies Marcus Arelius and the stoics. Philosophy. Strategy. He knows.
