"Pretend inferiority, and encourage their arrogance." - Sun Tzu

Faking stupid is easy to do because most people are stupid.

“Speak not in the ears of a fool for he will despise the wisdom of thy words” ~ Proverbs 23:9

"Never argue with a fool: They will drag you to their level and beat you with experience."

Never interrupt an enemy in the act of making a mistake.

"Never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake."
-Sun Tzu

"when people see you as a threat they isolate you"

"Silence is my advantage."
Thank you for this valuable knowledge.

Hell is other people.

When you learn you don't have to prove anything to anybody, you become dangerous. Sounds like people find self confidence threatening.

Silence is my advantage. Note to self

"The truth won't set your neighbor free."

"The Truth is a mirror held to all and some people don't like their reflection very much."

Mediocrity is profitable for our systems of structure

“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.


Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
― Bruce Lee

I wasn’t planning on commenting, but maybe someone here needs this. For the longest time, I felt like I was running on empty—my body exhausted, my mind scattered, always feeling just a little off without knowing exactly why. I tried so many things—vitamins, different routines—but nothing seemed to bring me back to center. Then I stumbled across The Hidden Herbs by Anette Ray, and it felt like reconnecting with something ancient and forgotten. Learning about the healing plants that have been quietly supporting us for centuries—it gave me not just remedies, but a sense of grounding I didn’t know I was missing. It’s not about quick fixes or miracle cures; it’s about remembering the wisdom that’s always been there. If you’re feeling worn out, disconnected from yourself, maybe this is the gentle reminder you need too.

The way you articulated the power of playing dumb is remarkably remarkable.  This video is deep.  To be a practitioner of its content, one must revisit periodically.

Intelligence isn’t just about knowledge it’s about understanding human dynamics. Schopenhauer’s perspective suggests that pretending to be ‘less’ can sometimes grant more control over situations. It’s an interesting paradox that this video explores so well!

Being underestimated is a gift. Use it wisely.

Don't tell anyone about your plans but make them to accept the result unnoticed
