This seems like it is probably a good thing. leidendeclaration.ai It does feel a bit “art of war” though… someone patiently explaining to a bunch of people who really should know better that they shouldn’t do obviously bad and wrong things.

I see a bunch of people riffing on how The Art of War is obvious etc etc, but it seems few people keep in mind that this is advice for very powerful people of the time, the kind of guys who would be kicked in the head by a horse every day. People who understand how power and lack of resources fucks with a person don’t usually get to tell armies to go fight a war, so they need to be told by a guy they’d let execute their favorite wife. (Also, probably the whole Seinfeld Is Unfunny trope…)

someone patiently explaining to a bunch of people who really should know better that they shouldn’t do obviously bad and wrong things. In March 2025, someone skeeted that “Master Sun says: do not lead your troops into land where there is nothing for them to eat” seems obvious but Pete Hegseth would not remember that his troops needed food.
