Plausible, but consider some perspective on Mac:: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
A medical professor once asked her class to submit a one paragraph |
| 17 |
thesis on how Machiavelli works affected modern medicine. When the |
| 18 |
youngest member of the class (quite young actually) Espoused that most |
| 19 |
acknowledge that Mac was very ill, later in life, His Thesis was that |
| 20 |
that (catastrophic) illness actually had consumed Mac much earlier in |
| 21 |
life and therefore, the study and reading of MAC, was more attributable |
| 22 |
to a manifestation of 'societal sickness', rather than a learned pursuit |
| 23 |
of that which is worthy of pursuit. |

He receive a low mark in that class, but truth is truth, especially in |
| 27 |
the eyes of the author, a brilliant truth most often. |

There is an ironic posting in Hacker Mews about the lack of credibility |
| 30 |
amongst their customers, when focused on modern psychiatry, you just |
| 31 |
might find in interesting. All other forms of modern medicine receive |
| 32 |
quite high marks, from their customers. |
