Reading 48 Laws of Power. How, where, and who do you apply the laws you've learned?

I apply the 48 Laws the same way I play piano - in the zone. Think of it like a martial art. You must study and practice, in order to achieve unconscious competence.

Study the 48 laws, apply the lessons you learn in every interaction. Your words and actions are both sword and shield. Listening and awareness are critical. In other words, the journey of self mastery is a way of - not a how to.

The problem with 48 laws is there are so many of them, so you need to internalise them gradually. The main issue is they aren't all equally frequently occurring. Never outshine the Master for example. It Nr one, but one can forget. Instead of thinking of them as rigid rules, they are a set of steps / specific instructions that underpin a philosophy.

It's like cuneiform tablets have specific instructions and tallies to be acted on, but the 'meaning' behind it is an organised taxation system, which underpins a society, which supports 'empire building'

Similarly, applying these instructions resolve around similar concepts as 'face saving' - yours and theirs- realpolitik, etc. Without providing cultural background or a larger backdrop.
