Machiavelli's ideas on gaining and maintaining political power.
Machiavelli was a political philosopher from the fifteenth century who wrote "The Prince", a book about how to gain and maintain political power. In his book, Machiavelli outlines various ways that power can be gained, including force, fraud, and deceit. He also outlines how power can be consolidated and maintained once it is gained. While Machiavelli's ideas are sometimes seen as cynical or evil, they are nonetheless based on a keen understanding of human nature and the political landscape.
One bias that Machiavelli might have is that he sees power as something that is primarily gained through force, fraud, and deceit. While these are certainly not the only ways to gain power, they are perhaps the most effective. Machiavelli also seems to believe that once power is gained, it must be consolidated and maintained through similar means. This might lead him to see those who gain power through more peaceful means as weak or naive.
Another bias that Machiavelli might have is that he sees power as something that is primarily held by men. In "The Prince", Machiavelli rarely mentions women except in passing and when he does, it is usually in the context of how they can be used to gain power.
