    It’s funny how The Art of War is just a senior NCO (Sun Tzu) telling a bunch of idiot hereditary officers how to not lose wars with extremely basic advice because he’d seen what had happened if they didn’t have that

    some of that basic advice still boggles the minds of leaders today

    "always leave a way for your enemy to escape, a hopeless enemy fights to the death"

    oh what was that? grind all the money out of everyone so they feel hopeless and feel like there's no way out? yeah great idea let's do that - apparently every profit centred institution
