Some men blindly dabble in Machiavellianism out of a lust for power, anger and frustration. Even fewer men vocationally refine their Machiavellian capacity to a degree beyond that of the typical woman.

In absence of inherent ability, most men are not raised to pierce the veil of social subtext and so are blind to this prevailing truth. The rational yet socially incompetent man, his mind, it operates so differently from that of the common idiot. Yet it is not the intellectual that dictate the rules of the social game, it is the Machiavellians, socialites and populists

The rational Machiavellian thinks ahead logically about the challenge they are going to present to you. With their rationalism weaponised, they will predict your potential responses in correlation with what they know already about your personal character. Your potential responses are easily preconceived because running on the assumption you are rational, it is easy to lead to you to certain answers. Your answer will be X or Y in theme because you are rational. Your rationalism makes you easy to predict. You will never say something truly random or unsuspected. You are easy to understand because you do not selectively utilise chaos, your rationalism makes your mind ordered. A logician will often say X or Y to any conundrum. He has a “for or against” mentality. He does not think outside the box, unless thinking outside the box is an adjunct to position X or Y. While, for the sake of continuing to depict this metaphor: the Machiavellian will say Z. The Machiavellian is harder to predict because where it suits him, he will disobey logic.
