<p>Thankyou, thankyou, Meriam Webster. (What if that was really your name?!)</p>
<p>everyone loves my tool, i even turn guys gay…</p>
<p>btw, it’s merriam, and that’s a microsoft definition. but even if you were calling username that, you spelled it wrong. therefore, you have failed. end of story.</p>

</p>
<p>not always</p>
<p>I’m very familiar with antisocial personality disorder. people with ASD tend to think of other people as “tools”, or “means to an end”.</p>
<p>If you encounter Machiavellian personalities, you’ll see that they like to use people as tools.</p>
<p>I tend to be Machiavellian myself (but my tendency towards Machiavellianism can be dispelled)</p>
<p>Machiavelli was a little biotch, if you ask me. But if you like him its coo.</p>
<p>I agree with the above. When I call somebody a tool, i usually mean that they are being used (usually by the government).</p>
<p>oh please, the adjective “machiavellian” doesn’t really describe machiavelli’s writings at all.</p>
<p>machiavelli advocated constraints on the means. he just didn’t place moral considerations above political ones. but there are people who are far more explicitly “machiavellian” than he is, if we use the term as it is conceptualized. Hell, Machiavelli was never all that explicit about “Machiavellianism” - it’s just a few chapters of “the prince” where the adjective seems to come from.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure he placed political considerations above moral considerations. Have you read The Prince?</p>
<p>Yes he does. And yes, I have read “The Prince”. I was disappointed that he wasn’t all that explicit about placing political considerations above moral ones. Such discussion was constrained to only a few chapters - it was never explicitly mentioned as the “goals” of the book.</p>
<p>I’ve created a new Machiavellian system of my own with its own system of constraints (basically, do what is SUSTAINABLE, and be wary of actions that have high probabilities of failure and discovery) but at least it is a lot more EXPLICIT about its means.</p>
<p>Have you now (created a system)? So, what about the term Machiavellian, or Machiavelli himself, makes you want to associate your ideas with it/him?</p>
<p>Have you now what?</p>
<p>I read “The Prince” a year ago (and snippets of it several years ago). </p>
<p>and no, the system I crafted came a few weeks ago.</p>
<p>****t, it’s late, I must go. Au revoir, Le Petit Prince.</p>
<p>boys are tools.</p>
<p>…j/k.</p>
