The Thirty-Six Stratagems project

I want to introduce a change of pace into this forum with a little project thread for people.

The Thirty-Six Stratagems

These stratagems from the Book of Qi are brilliant quips of insight that can be used in any application. Look them through, give it a good read. Think about them for a bit. Now come back here, and do this;

I want people to start looking at many actions, events, ideas you may have or believe in about conspiracies and what not, through the eyes of these stratagems. I've done this for a long time and I must say, it's remarkable what I see happening before my eyes right now.

Come here, and post what you find and see through these stratagems. I've already started in another forum, I'd like to see what other people see.
