Yosanne Vella :

Not all. Some of us are moral and good.

William Cortes :

Machiavelli was a Sociopath, so yeah

Greev84 :

This is false. Humanity would not even exist if we were inherently cynical beasts. While humans do have the capacity for selfishness, we also have an equally strong capacity for kindness, cooperation, and empathy, traits that are deeply shaped by upbringing and social environment. Our nature is fundamentally social. We share emotions, ideas, and experiences, and through that we develop compassion and moral awareness. That capacity is what defines us as humans. From this perspective, Machiavelli’s worldview seems less like an objective truth about human nature and more like a reflection of personal experience rather than a universal reality.

dont ask me why :

maybe machiavelli comes from a broken family

BUZZY :

we live I a world full of actors

Don’t be afraid ✝️ :

That’s pretty much the opposite of what Jesus said and, with no offense towards Machiavelli, I chose Jesus.

Wcoley :

He just described the entire sales department

skjoldsmøyer :

animals can also show kindness

Ivring🇨🇦 :

Also, while intelligent, machiovelli was also immoral himself projecting onto the whole of the human race. His conclusions are flawed

Jones :

Unfortunately so true for most of the human beings

Akilid :

According to me i don’t care about Machiavelli he was just a beast , He was not a human. So he’ll never understood kindness .

detatched00 :

Most are pretending. Some of us really want peace. Most want destruction and chaos and ruin.

PeripheralDepth :

genuinely good people exist

RosemaryCarter :

Crazy to think I nearly overlooked the book The Unseen Rules of Mindset by Daniel Constantine… it honestly feels like something we were never supposed to discover.

NYUMBRELLA COACHING :

they're not pretending anymore… lol

Max Evers :

Miguel Alvarez :

Machiavelli did not say thatbro😭😭

Mrgoodday :

that sums up the government

Stormblessed71 :

No thank you. I’ll try to do better, be better.

KillnNtheNameOf :

i don't think could be any further from reality. 99.9 percent of the world's population is good and moral.

Auwalrg :

The cruel aspect of realism

M-I-A :

I don’t believe this. There is no doubt that we all have ability for good and bad. There is no better feeling in the world when you bring good and it’s genuine. Those are the best memories I’ve ever had.

DUEWEE :

That's why you don't trust anybody.

mohammedsaid7338 :

Remember that he was limited by his time and understanding of human behavior. Today we know that morals and what we call good values are derived from empathy which is an evolutionary mechanism that helps us work together and promotes collective survival, as it is more effective than individual survival. Also he might have suffered from some sort of psychopathic disorder 🙏
