I think sports, or martial arts, or just letting kids run free in a playground are better environments for that. Sitting in a class with a teacher setting the rules will ensure that only the most scheming or socially machiavelian kids have resources to apply or avoid violence.


Martial arts for sure.

I hear what you’re saying, but I’m sure you’ve known people at work or other places that have some dark triad traits, and it serves to recognize them.

At the time I didn’t know what those were, or why I saw some kids as “off”, but looking back they were definitely on that Machiavellian scale.

I learned not to trust them or get tangled in their shit
