Wrapping up a book critique in only 2 sections? Wow, we're making great progress on our New Year's Resolutions.
In pt 2 of Art of Seduction we get into the actual text and find some uncomfortable stuff, ranging from Robert Greene misrepresenting his sources to his examples not supporting his arguments to his examples ignoring commonly-accepted historical details that run contrary to his assertions about the seductive capabilities of people like Cleopatra and JFK. Basically this book is garbage from every perspective. We also get into how the seduction advice this book gives is structured less to help normal people pick up dates and more to aid bad people exploit others. Hopefully not his intention but unfortunately an obvious conclusion.
DTG despises genocide and continue to support people fighting all forms of it. We're still making monthly donations to local trans funds and have now started doing the same for Palestine support. Send proof to our email that you made a donation to fight any kind of genocide and we'll send you some stuff in appreciation. Consider some of the following:
UN Relief and Works Agency - Desperately needs money since the US and several Western nations cut off funding.
Islamic Relief USA
World Food Program
HealPalestine
We are now recording through Zencaster and producing both video and transcripts of each episode. Find those on our Patreon when we remember to upload.
