I write a lot about the global gaming phenomenon. Did you know that the gaming industry, consoles and computers is larger than television, movies and books combined? We, as a culture are fascinated with what many scholars call the \u2018end of war\u2019. Now is the best time to dig down deep into the roots of this cultural phenomenon. <\/p>\n
Last week the biggest strategy game in history launched with a 21 hour webcast \u2013 StarCraft and on the same day, Sony released its next chapter in God of War: Ascension<\/a>. This Tuesday, Microsoft will release Gears of War: Judgement (blog post<\/a> coming soon). <\/p>\n What do all these game releases have in common? All of them, without exception, are actually based on the philosophies and teachings of Sun Tzu<\/i>, which, if you haven\u2019t actually studied his works, you will overlook them completely.<\/p>\n This blog post is different. It goes into the roots of this cultural phenomenon dating back thousands of years to Sun Tzu<\/u> who wrote the Art of War<\/i>. Our modern era is shaped by it. Have you read The Art of War? Many books have been written about it and interpretations of it.<\/p>\n The best way I know of to understand the Art of War<\/u> is to study the works of someone who has lived it. In the modern era, the game of war has changed. It is fought either online in multiplayer games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, or in economics with banking and the buying and selling of banking and short selling.<\/p>\n The author, Arthur Fixed has more than thirty-five years\u2019 experience as a successful banker and short seller for his own account. In The Art of Speculation during Civil War \u2013 Sun Tzu Meets Jesse Livermore, he aims to make true wealth accessible to everyone by unmasking the nature of the current financial and political systems so that anyone can profit from the truth.<\/p>\n The book I\u2019m talking about here is actually called \u201cThe Art of Speculation\u201d, and it brings Sun Tzu Art of War<\/b> into the Modern Era. Here is the summary (my personal book review to soon follow in future posts.)<\/p>\n The Art of Speculation during Civil War \u2013 Sun Tzu Meets Jesse Livermore offers a compelling choice: remain asleep or wake up to the truth; accept whatever major media say or understand how the economy, government, and society are manipulated for the profit of a few and at the expense of the majority.<\/p>\n Slavery is dependent upon the consent of the slave. Oppression, to succeed, requires the sanction of the oppressed. No regime, be it democratic, monarchic, socialist, communist, or fascist, can exist for long without the public\u2019s consent, irrespective of how that consent is manufactured. If consent is withdrawn, the regime falls.<\/p>\n The Art of Speculation during Civil War aims to hasten the day when individuals, communities, countries, and the world withdraw consent from those who would manipulate them for the aggrandizement of their power. This book invites its readers to awaken to the truth and profit from the knowledge and freedom gained. The truth is a solid foundation for any economic activity. Anyone can profit from the truth and extraordinary profits are possible for those who understand why Sun Tzu meets Jesse Livermore.<\/p>\n Here is the introduction:<\/p>\n Brings back Memories of The Matrix, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\nThe Modern Gaming Phenomenon is based on the Ancient Teachings of Sun Tzu Art of War<\/h2>\n
Who is Jesse Livermore? Is he the Modern Era Sun Tzu or the classic hero on a Joseph Campbell Hero\u2019s Journey?<\/h2>\n
Here are some reviews of Sun Tzu Art of War in Modern Times \u2013 The Art of Speculation<\/h3>\n
