Laws of Human Nature

• We humans tend to rationalize events to sooth our ego.

• Often, we avoid feeling responsible for the bad things around us. Bad decision are caused by
our deep rooted irrationality.
•  Irrationality is deeply rooted in every man and have its own functions in processing emotions.
Fear allows us to respond in different ways.
• Our brains has three parts; the old reptilian brain responsible for motors and instinctive
movement, the old mammalian brain responsible for governing emotions and the neocortex
responsible for controlling cognition and language.
• Since the brain that process emotion is different from those that process thinking, we felt
irrational emotions such as hatred to some person while the truth in fact is due to envy.
• Rational people are people who are aware of their emotional tendencies and are able to
subtract them in designing their plans. Irrational people are incapable of introspection and
such.
• Low-grade irrationality skew plans to satisfy our biases. High grade irrationality blinds us by
interpreting our environment based on that dominant emotion. 
• Confirmation bias: finding evidence on what we wanted to believe.
• Conviction bias: believing into something with extreme confidence that it must be true. Law
Always enter action with a bold move.
• Appearance bias: people are easily moved by appearances. Good qualities tend to be
associated with better ones. Use this to your advantage and conceal your plans.
• Group bias: We are social animals by nature. Thus, one are inclined to believe what the
majority agrees to. Control the majority and you'll be powerful.
• Blame bias: Admitting ones mistake is too painful. Thus people tend to gravitate on blaming
others. Use scapegoats to win over a widespread problem. Create a cult.
• Superiority bias: People tend to believe there are more rational than other. Use this to your
advantage. Support their views in such away that they will drown into deep narcissism.
• Once you have sown emotions to the crowd, use that anticipation to reward them. You will
win no matter how illogical your argument is for their are too preoccupied by emotions to be
rational.
• People are shaped by their childhood experiences and thus it is very important to observe
their types and ise this emotion in greater effect.
• Always put things into the extreme but only rarely. You can satisfy them and their desire to be
with you will be much stronger. The mind likes to see the world in extremes. Black and white.
• Avoid sudden gains and always look things with a grain of skepticism. People tend to
subtract luck from their winnings and blame it when they lose. In theory, you can lure people
with fabulous gains and grandiosity.
• Avoid making decisions in rising pressures. Use pressure to see the true characters of others.
Once they break and their fall publicized, they are no longer capable of climbing back up.
Increase the expectations on your targets and hide it as a compliment. They are preoccupied
with the statement you have stated to notice the building tensions. Avoid making them
reasons to improve.
• All are human. Find the weaknesses in your targets. The inflaming individuals are often
narcissist projecting their internal drama creating turmoil that one gets caught up to. Use
turmoil into your advantage.
• Beware of demagogues. Resist their pull by being rational or of left with no choice being one
yourself. He who controls the people is powerful. Pointing out a single but critical flaw in a
demagogue will surely destroy them, be prepared to meet their counter-attacks and always
act on the initiative. In Machiavellian principles, one ought to weaken those of the powerful so
you become the overall ruler and the center of attention.
• In order to achieve rationality, one must know oneself thoroughly, examine the roots of their
emotions, increase their reaction times to a certain trigger point, seeing people as facts and
as a result of their experiences and their logic.
• One must also balance thinking and emotions. Greek metaphor for the emotional self, the
horse and the rider. This can be observed with skepticism and curiosity.
• Must appreciate rationality.
• Self-esteem is a response by the human mind to feel validated without chasing for attention.
This energy is turn inward into self-love.
• Our dependence on parents on early childhood causes a hard hitting reality in a world without
instant gratifications.
• It is important to create a self that one can retreat to. Narcissists failed to make a sense of
themselves in their childhood that they struggle. An extrovert narcissist will find themselves
validated by drawing attention to themselves. On the contrary, introvert narcissist create a
fantasy world where they create a false sense of oneself thereby validating themselves.
• Narcissist are oversensitive, have no self-defense in an offensive argument and would draw
attention to themselves by pretending to be the victim.
• Deep narcissists, are one who lack a sense of self.
• One dangerous and more toxic variety of this type of narcissists is the narcissistic leader.
• Narcissistic leaders are extremely charismatic, having a clear goal and vision in mind
while radiating confidence. They dare say and do what others won't giving them a sense of
authenticity and admiration.
• However, they tend to burn and destroy what they create for their relationships are treated
merely as objects for satisfaction and therefore cannot establish a coherent structure.
• Deep narcissists once reached, will continually go down to the spiral of self absorption.
Reality is just a reflection of their needs.
• Functional narcissists are also self-absorbed yet they have a self to retreat to of which the
deep narcissists don't have.
• We are all in the spectrum of self absorption. Often, moralizers are deep narcissist for they
love the sound of their voice.
• A healthy narcissists diverts his energy either in his work of which he is able to master and
gain attention or through people making him able to develop his empathetic skills thereby
getting the attentions they need.
• There are four skills one ought to master.
• The empathetic attitude will allow us to see others as different with different values than our
own. We must aim to see what they value, to not create quick judgements. We must accept
that we are human and by doing so we can appreciate it. In attacking an enemy, isolate him.
• We are easily affected by the emptions of others.
• Visceral empathy allows us to identify these emotions more than what the person is actually
saying revealing their motives and moods.
• Mirror their movement, their moods giving them the attention they crave for. We must
understand the hidden goals for there is always an emotion behind any intention. We must
mimic them appear interested while at the same time keeping our distance.
• Analytic empathy enables us to see the details. It can be used to identify the person's values,
what he considers strong or weak, good and bad and understand it from their perspective.
• It will allows us to understand their childhood, what people they really are. We must learn his
early relationships especially his family relationships. Their taste in partners says a lot.
• To gain trust, try pretending to disclose ones sensitive information or a sincere admission.
Open ended questions will do as well.
• The empathetic skill allows us to see if we are making progress. Direct or indirect, try to gain
cues or subtle hints on how they interact with people. Analyze how their behaviour changes
with certain people.
• There are four types of narcissist:
• The complete control narcissist- they simulates your desire to get close to them but at
an arms distance. They tend to mimic empathy in order to probe you for weakness and
manipulate you with it. They have greater ambition with greater insecurities. At first they can
control their emotions and your reactions but at some point, their ambitions become so great
that they desire to control yours due to their insecurity.
• They tend to micromanage which would ultimately destroy them. Maintain distance, often
they are afraid to show their vulnerabilities and never had at least one serious and intimate
relationship.
• The theatrical narcissist- They tend to play on your empathy. They have an unquenchable
desire to be the center of the show, the topic of attention. Their lack of self allows then to play
many parts. They tend to be great actors drawing you in with dramas pretending to be moral,
the victim. Everything they say or do is for public consumption.
• The narcissistic couple- what makes a relationship narcissistic is the lack if empathy, to see
the others values and perspective.
• Healthy narcissists (the Mood Reader)- this narcissist ate able to stop his incessant
monologue in order to empathize with others. He understands their need, desires and reacts
accordingly. He senses the moods and view it as he has the mood itself. When the need
comes, the ability to empathize can surely be appreciated.
• People tend to wear masks to show them in the nest possible light. However, these masks
have cracks and their true nature can be revealed. Most people based others on appearances
and is therefore of necessary advantage to those who use it.
• People are constantly giving up cues and hints to their hidden desires that can be observed
when they speak due to subtle cues. It is imperative we understand these details.
• We must first accept the theatrical part of life and avoid moralizing. We must appear to be the
symphateyic hero.
• Second, we must not mistake peoples masks to who they really are.
• Practice: In every conversation, record every one or two facial expressions that seems to
contradicts what they are saying. Through continual practice, we could tend shift to body
languages.
• In practice, one must identify the targets baseline, are they reserved, outgoing, and any
sudden change in their base mood could signify unconscious desires.
• Observe how people act in extreme situations where people seem excited. How their eyes
dilate, how their mouth widens. It is also imperative to note the changes in nonverbal cues in
the targets interaction with different people. This could serve another baseline. Contrast this
to when they are in tension.
• With practicing, try going on in a public place and basing on their nonverbal cues, guess their
profession or their moods. It would be a pleasurable game.
• We learn more about people about what is not said and what is implied.
• Display rules are also important for they are different among cultures.
• In decoding keys, there are three categories of cues.
• Dislike/like cues: Strong emotions are too hard to suppress. Dislike often shows in the overall
tense of the body.
• Microexpression are also important and more often noticed but they usually last for a fraction
of a second.
• Unconscious body cues of dislike can be observed before they are quickly covered up.
Sudden silence can show irritation and dislike.
• In practice, it is important to notice all these signs a few time before jumping into conclusions
for men are creatures of habit. For me, three is enough.
• Often, people poke a jab with you in a lighthearted way but once these jokes and insults
become repetitive with you being the constant subject, this may show hidden hostility. In such
cases, observe the words.
• Notice the eyes of the flatterrer. A serious, monotone eye can show envy.
• Another type of mixed signals is seemingly say something strongly about a topic then take
subtle glances to those they are referring to.
• Compare their interaction with others and you to observe hostility. Usually, people leaked out
their true feelings when they are angry, frustrated, sleepy, under stress, and drunk.
• Using these properties, set up traps and tests and observe how people would react. Once
tested, we can form up a better conclusion. A subtle sign of discomfort is enough to show
envy.
• If suspecting one of envy, talk about good news that have happened in your life without
appearing to brag. In my experience, we can try talking about the success of others and see
how they'll react.
• Hostilities, when discovered earlier will allow us to maneuver and avoid surprises of acts of
sabotages. We can either destroy them completely, win over them with a charm offensive or
keep distance. One option is to trap them to show their true colors inciting embarrassment.
• On opposite terms, people tend to relax when they like our company. Mimic this and use this
as confirmation of our progress.
• Dominance/submission cues: Whenever someone believes he is superior, he will not hesitate
to show confidence, to allow himself to look at others willingly, smile less, they are frequently
entitled to touch people. They take up more space and create distance for themselves. Others
are drawn to this energy.
• Alpha males like to impose their position, they occasionally interrupt others control the flow
of conversation and speak faster. They are brutes, their handshakes are almost crushing.
• Yet girl leaders are usually seen as calm and reserved. They do not need to interrupt to assert
themselves. They allow others to do the talking.
• Insecure leaders are easy to spot. They feel the need to assert themselves, they often appear
still when their faces are animated, they blink a lot. They are nervous, threatened by the power
they hold.
• They try to appear confident leaders by asserting themselves yet subtle cues tell otherwise.
Symptoms such as headache are used to weaken the enemy using his sympathy and play by
his rules. Tight smiles also indicate superiority.
• As such, when dealing with leaders who are insecure, play with their insecurities and gain long
term power for yourself but do not attach. In dealing with not leaders but are trying to be, join
them if they are rising stars and full of self-belief and avoid if they are just petty despots.
• Deception cues: We humans are gullible to deception, believing to acquire even if we are not
capable (The Prince), or thinking we could get something from nothing. Too good to be true.
• Deceptive people tend to show an extra animated face being more friendly to assert their
ideas. Similarly, in trying to cover something up, they become extra vehement, using our
conviction bias. They become so defensive. These show extremes in emotions are exactly
when we should raise our guards as to avoid being drawn in like the others.
• These type of deceivers are easy to spot due their exaggerated movements contrasting parts
of their body being tense such as an animated eyes but with a quivering mouth.
• Clever deceivers tend to do the opposite appearing highly professional and serious. They
bore us giving the impression of mastery and confidence.
• Slick and bland lies are when we should raise our skepticism.
• In suspecting someone of lying, encourage them to continue instead of directly confronting
them. Then, by listening, ask a very suprising and uncomfortable question. At some point,
details wont match, their body will tense up. You have won.
• Ignore white lies for they are the lowest in the scale of deception. Raise skepticism if people
are trying to gain something from you.
• Art of impression management: People value authenticity yet this degrades competence. The
masks wore are important and even authenticity can be faked.
• Master nonverbal cues: Using the said dominance cues and like cues, appear confident,
master your body movement and make your looks more meaningful.
• Be a method actor: Internalize the emotions required as if you are feeling it. Practice also to
switch back into a neutral appearance quickly as to not get drawn in however do not do so
while in the public.
• Know you audience: By undestanding the audience, we can shift the role we play. The larger
the audience the easier they can be emotionally manipulated. Appear respectable to the
professional and open to the public.
• Create a proper first impression: Exaggerated first impression makes the target more
suspicious. Present a more neutral front and toning down of your nonverbal cues. Maintaining
a relaxed eye contact and smile is necessary.
• Use dramatic effects: Use the law of absence. Appear unpredictable and always deliberately
make yourself unavailable. Too much presence can make you depreciated in the eyes of the
public.
• Project saintly qualities: Appear humble, keeping your head down. A public confession of
weaknesses or vulnerabilities will make you look sincere and honest.
• Augustus used an enemy to contrast his qualities. In a group standpoint, having an enemy will
only make the group more easier to emotionally manipulate and win over.
LAW OF COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOUR
• People are creatures of habits. Do not be carried away by ones reputation and observe.
Peoples' characters are formed in their earliest years and thus patterns of behaviour should
be observed.
• Character controls our patterns and therefore, fate.
• Character is deeply ingrained within us and therefore beyond our awareness and
consciousness. Character have three essential components.
• The first and deepest layer is within our genetics and thus predisposes how our brains are
wired.
• The second layer is attachment during our vulnerable years, childhood. It explores our
connections and relationships with those around us as a child.
• In childhood attachments, four types exist, the free/autonomous, dismissing,
enmeshed-ambivalent, disorganized.
• Dismissing types tend to avoid negative emotions and push people away to avoid feeling of
dependency.
• The ambivalent type tend to spend their life pursuing people and unconsciously retreating.
• These attachments will result in the following characters: hostile and aggressive, secure and
confident, anxious and avoidant, needy and enmeshing.
• The third layer is from our habit and experiences we acquire as we grow older. Dependent on
the two layers, the third layer, habits, are our strategies in dealing with stress.
• The fourth layer occurs when people become self aware of their character and tries to cover it
up to become socially acceptable.
• Confidence without self awareness and control can result to grandiosity.
• We have two tasks in understanding human nature.
• First, we must understand who we are and be aware of our character to turn our weaknesses
into strengths
• Second, we must develop the skill to see through peoples characters. Our primary virtues is
to judge people by their character rather than their charm or intelligence.
• We generally see people based on the myth that surrounds them, their reputation unable to
see them as humans too, humans that are just as vulnerable, flawed and weak as the masses.
• Character signs
• People never do something just once. We must observe their present behaviour to
understand their compulsive pattern.
• Observe how people handle everyday affairs. See how they treat lower ranking employees and
check if there is any break in the persona they present and their attitude towards underlings.
• People under stress loss their self control and their image/persona begin to falter.
• Power don't change people, it simply reveals who they are.
• Peoples relationships reflects their earliest years and attachment schemas.
• Look how people play games, can they accept defeat graciously, do they try to outsmart the
rules, are they really escaping or are they just asserting dominance.
• There are two types of people. Extroverts tend to think how people see them, values facts and
statistics and constantly longs for attention. Introverts however values opinions and feelings,
they are more pssimistic.
• Extroverts and introverts generally misunderstand each other. Thus, we must shape our
interactions according to their type.
• Strength of characters is determined by overall resilience and adaptability. They are persistent
and do not give up easily but at the same time open to new ideas and opinions.
• Always test people with their strength and resilience. A joke at their expense could reveal if
their willing to take it gracefully or resent it. In testing their trustworthiness, share strategic
information or rumors and see if they could quickly pass the information or they pass this
information as their own. Law48: Always take credit for the work of others except if they are
more powerful than you and there is a possibility of knowing it in such case, flatter them. Give
them open ended assignments and test how they can organize their thoughts. Give them hard
tasks and see how they handle anxiety.
• Weak character will neutralize all good qualities that person might possess.
Toxic Types
• The hyperperfectionist: Although they may appear strong due to their extreme discipline,
quality- oriented mind and hard dedication. In reality, they can't delegate tasks, they oversee
everything. Its not about standards and dedication, rqther about power and control. They
have dependency issuus and always tursting no one. Their initial successes if followed with
spectacular defeats with unorganized leadership always treating others abusively due to their
insecurities and anxieties if dependency.
• The Relentless rebel: Motivated by their hate against authority and their love with the
underdog, their attitude appeals in the adolescent us of going against the rules without regard
to repercussions always going against conventions. However, this character is inspired by the
compulsive desire to be superior not by higher moral good. Their childhood might come from
a disappointment from their parents and thus hates authority. They don't accept criticisms as
it reeks authority and those who try to challenge then will be subject to their viscous humor.
They tend to be stuck in their adolescent attitude and often get addicted from the attention
they gained from their rebel pose.
• The Personalizer: They seem to be sensitive and thoughtful. There life seems to little sad.
They appear considerate and intelligent. We are drawn in by our empathy and the desire to
help them however (48LP: Avoid infectious people), their show of sensitivity is deeply rooted
inward. They take everything always personally even if its a joke or a harmless comment. As
children, they tend to feel not having enough love from their parents and despises everything
they didn't have. They are always on guard, expecting you'll give them something they want
without asking. They always seems to be the wronged party. Do not insult them, they have
long memories and will eventually get back to you much harder than what you have dealt them
(48LP: Know you are dealing with, never offend the wrong people.). It is better to avoid them.
• The Drama Magnet: They draw you in with unusual energy and exciting presence, fun to be
around until the drama gets ugly. As children, they only get attention through enmeshing their
parents with their own troubles and problems and this actions eventually become a habit.
They always appear to be the victim. They hook you by their embroiling drama. Once identified
through their past, run! They often make you guilty for disengaging once embroiled within
their dramas.
• The Big Talker: They hook you with big ideas, impressive talk, outstanding projects and asking
for help and backers to realize their vision only to run away when being held to account for.
As children, their parents are inconsistent always turning up against them for the smallest
misdeed. They avoid criticism and judgement and so so by talking big ideas and stories but
withdrawing from their responsibilities with an excuse. In dealing with such, appear to be
amused but never attached to their stories.
• The Sexualizer: Charged with sexual energy, they may appear natural, often involving
unrepressed desires and pleasures with work often blurring the boundaries to when such
actions is appropriate. As children, these people tend to be sexually abused either physically
or psychologically. As such, they will tend to see every relationship as sexual and sex as way
of self-validation. People tend to fall under their spell, they become compulsive and will often
use their leadership positions or power to get what they want. You cannot help them, avoid
them at all costs.
• The Pampered Prince/Princess: These people tend to subdue us by their calm and regal
air slightly imbues with a sense of superiority. In reality, they always want to get what they
want. As children, they are always indulged in their slightest whims. As such, they appear to
be helpless to try to regain this lost paradise of theirs. They are masters at getting others
to pamper them. They can be spotted by their previous relationships always needing to be
pampered. They always find ways to soothed themselves such as drugs and alcohol. If you
feel guilty for not pampering to them, look for yourself instead for you are hooked.
• The Pleaser: These people tend to be nice, they are flattering and always accommodating
drawing us with their irresistable charm. They are perfect consummate courtiers (AOS: The
Charmer). However, this image is a defense mechanism. As children, they have a harsh and
punishing parent thus inspiring the need to please, smile and lie. Beware, they are great
practiced and experienced liars. They resent the image they have to play and will ultimately
attack when your guard is down. They are passive-aggressive they are servants who have the
consummate desire to harm those who they serve to.
• The Saviour: These people tend to be helpful, always coming out all the way to rescue you
with all the right ways, the right strategies and best books to read to. This is too good to be
true. (48LP: Despise the free lunch) these saviours in childhood often lack the care they need
and often direct it to ther guardians as a way of exercising an inverted style of relationship in
which they are in control. As such, they always want people to be dependent on them. (48LP:
Make people dependent to you) and you will be under their manipulative control. If they can
allow you to be independent, then they are truly noble if not avoid them. It's better to cultivate
self-reliance and avoid them from exercising control to you.
• The Easy Moralizer: They tend to communicate a sense of outrage from this injustice or that.
Often, we get drawn in to support them due to their strong conviction yet in reality they have a
secret side that contradicts what they are trying to project. In childhood, these people are told
to repressed their desires and as such, they grow increasingly envy against people who are
unrepressed by expressing them in judgement and moral conviction. They see things as black
and white, their morality is flawed and compulsive often thriving in the culture of political
correctness. In reality, they are actually drawn in by what they condemn that is why they have
secret sidesa. Get too close and you'll become their target of inquisition. A lack of empathy at
the start will be a good enough reason to stay away from them.
The Superior Character
• In dealing with one's set of character, one has two directions to take. First, one could try to
ignore one's patterns and character resulting to a more set compulsive behaviour. Character
is too ppwerful and deeply ingrained to be swayed. Ignorance is a sin.
• The second option, much harder than the first, is to explore ones attachment, personality and
character. By being aware one can stop oneself in repeating a dangerous pattern or at least
mitigate it. With a clear understanding, we can shape our ambitions based on our character.
The desire is not to be someone else but to be truly as yourself.
Examples:
• Hyperperfectionist must channel ones behaviour based on derail and quality on productivity
rather than people.
• Hypersensitive should use their skills to redirect this into active empathy.
• The pleaser, imbued with the image of the perfect courtier and charmer should develop it as
to attain the heights of social power not by upsetting ones master. (48LP: Never outshine the
master)
• The Relentless Rebel channel your dislike with conventions into innovative work instead of
alienating people.
• For each weakness, there is a corresponding strength.
• These character traits should also be infused by traits of a strong character, namely, resilience
under pressure, attention to detail, the ability to complete things, work with a team, and
tolerance with peoples difference along with flexibility trying different methods and way of
thinking to practice adaptability.
BECOME AN ELUSIVE SUBJECT OF DESIRE
• Absence and presence have primal effects on us. Too much presence suffocates; too must
absence spurs interest.
• Men are often motivated to posses something what they dont have. As such, it is imperative
we use this to our advantage. Show to them what they cannot have, what they are missing and
they will crazily chase you.
• Instead of focusing to ones desires, focus outward to what the audiences desire, their hidden
and repressed fantasies. Create a sense of mystery and ubiquity. Make everyone feel your
object is seen everywhere and is desired by everyone.
• People do not want truth and honesty no matter endlessly they state it for the truth is that
they long for something to stimulate their imaginations and fantasies.
• "Grass is always greener on the other side"
• We continually desire what we don't have, people who seemingly have it better than us. In a
political level, our government is corrupt and we dreamt of real change, perhaps a revolution
to bring in a utopia to replaces the imperfect world we live in. Yet in history, most revolutions
often result to a same often worse governments.
• Youth grows more distant as we age resulting to us idealizing it.
• This syndrome can be explained by three traits of the human brain.
• Induction: Our human brain is operates through use of contrasts. What we often sees and
imagine is opposite to what the mind imagines and sees. We formulate concepts by being
aware of its opposite. This causes us to desire what we do not have.
