Robert Greene
Robert Greene, author of the controversial bestseller *The 48 Laws of Power*, argues that the hunger for influence is a universal human need, not a trait reserved for elites. He explains how social media amplifies age‑old power dynamics, turning attention‑seeking into a self‑fulfilling cycle that fuels envy and deception. Greene applies his framework to contemporary politics, noting that Donald Trump exemplifies Law 6—court attention at all costs—while lacking the self‑deprecating humor that can temper envy. The interview highlights how modern leaders must navigate validation, ego, and the double‑edged nature of power.
