If you think anything written by Robert Greene is good/helpful/interesting, please tell me you have a plan to kill yourself in the near future.

What is your criticism with his work?

The Los Angeles Times noted that The 48 Laws of Power turned Greene into a "cult hero with the hip-hop set, Hollywood elite and prison inmates alike."

cool man.

Absolute and utter trash. It strips the philosophy out of philosophical works.

Pure, distilled Redpills my man. Redpills the whole way, the book might as well be called "The 48 Redpills of Robert Greene", known "modern machiavelli". *spins fedora*

It's incoherent. There's nothing of any real substance one can reliably take away. Much of what he talks about is anecdotal. He sat on his couch and thought about what bullshit he could say next without considering what he had written up to that point. I could write The 48 Laws of Power, and you could too. It's trash. With that said, I can see why someone uneducated might be tempted to put it on a pedestal.

What I got out of it were mostly references to people better than him, like Baltasar Gracián.

Elaborate

>>7693846
I know you are just doing this for the memes, but this book is actually pretty anti-redpill at times.

>It's incoherent. There's nothing of any real substance one can reliably take away

This really isn't a valid argument. I mean, there are 48 things that people can take away from this.

The rest of your post is pretty valid though.

Fucking retarded and a good recipe for unhappiness

Greene was a meme author, and had no discernible talent. He was shitposting, and is literally genre tier fiction. clearly a juvenile author.
