The 48 Laws of Power

I was recently reading an article on the prison system. I had watched Spike Lee's remake of Oldboy and was curious if such private prisons existed in the real world. Undoubtedly, they do, but I was wondering if one of that scale with inmates of that duration actually existed.

Before I got the chance to make much progress, I came across an article talking about the private prison system. It's a horrifying thing, the way the prison system works. The article teaches you a lot about the little things. One thing it mentions off the cuff is that the book The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene is banned because it's considered "mind-bending material."

I've never read that book, but I can see why that might be. Power is doing whatever you want and getting whatever you want when you want it, all of which ultimately come down to knowledge. These are more gimmicks for manipulating people, though I can still see some value in that.
