Machiavellian

Haven't thought of this word in a long time, but a friend used it yesterday, and it sparked interest. Interesting -- there are some aspects of the mindset that make sense in the world we live in, but I was just thinking that this way of thinking ( all the negative aspects ) are exactly what drives all these reality based competitions on television, and I wonder if it is not really having a huge negative influence on our population at large. Although I think the gen pop might not be AS cunning as one would have to be in order to be a TRUE Machiavellian! So, we might be safe for a while! - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
