Plenty of fools ITT I see. You got to be if you're unable to grasp that the Prince is satire. My favorite part is the ending of Chapter 25

>I conclude therefore that, fortune being changeful and mankind steadfast in their ways, so long as the two are in agreement men are successful, but unsuccessful when they fall out. For my part I consider that it is better to be adventurous than cautious, because Fortune is a woman, and if you wish to keep her under it is necessary to beat and ill use her; and it is seen that she allows herself to be mastered by the adventurous rather than by those who go to work more coldly. She is, therefore, always, woman-like, a lover of young men, because they are less cautious, more violent, and with more audacity command her.

>If you want a woman, or the Godess Fortune herself, beat the fuck out of her, she'll love you.

Of course, dimwitted and sexually-repressed conservatives who haunt this place can't see the satire here, it's well-written exposition of what some MRA actually believe these days, they're unable to see they're a joke themselves. You'd know this if your only female relation wasn't your mother that you loath so much.

Rousseau and Diderot are more of a scholar than you will ever be.

>he doesn't know that cult comes from cultus which is the perfect passive participle of the latin verb colo i.e to cultivate (land) or worship a divinity

The negative connotation is a rather modern development; moreover, in academics I've noticed a distinct disdain for using the term as a pejorative because it a. inaccurate and b. meaningless.
