The Man Who Believed Everyone Was Evil

There is no doubt about it that Niccolò Machiavelli was one of the most influential philosophers of all time. To some, he single handily birthed the new "Western Political Tradition". The man spoke many truths in his numerous books however one stands out above the rest, "The Prince". In this video, I discuss the book itself, Machiavelli's reasons for writing it, and the impact it has had on the world. This was an awesome video to make as I thoroughly enjoyed the satirical side of "The Prince" as well as his other book, "The Art of War".
