[Zeneta]

Strategic deflection.

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent’s fate.
Sun Tzu

All war is deception.

OTOH there’s been a “what’s the use of being rich if you can’t indulge your sexual perversions...” attitude since long before Caligula.
