Chapter 3 - How To Beat A Determined Sociopath At Their Own Game [The Real Way]... by Bean Delphiki

How to beat a determined sociopath at their own game [the Real way]: …you have to become

them. You have to break every rule you hold just. You have to dig deep and become dirtier than

you've ever been. So dirty that you'll never be clean again. You have to do what they do

instantly (understand people) as well as they do, but BETTER. You have to play your Trump

card, just after they play theirs. You have to understand them, better than they understand

themselves. You have to plan for any contingency. And hit them -harder than any decent person

would ever hit anyone. And then hit 'em when they're down. You need to hit them so hard that

their reprisal need not be feared [paraphrasing Machiavelli's 'The Prince']. You need to go for

the unforgivable. You need to break your one rule. This is Von Clausewitz shit: total fucking war.

You have to go nuclear at the first. You have to bomb Hiroshima. THEN Nagasaki. Just to prove

a point.

If you don't have what it takes to do all this [and most don't], DON'T EVEN TRY. Because to try

and fail will lead to your utter destruction, root and stem. If you're going to take a shot at the

king, don't miss. Because you won't get a second shot.
