The 49th Law

Law 49: Never tell anyone everything you know. I think there's a reason RG went from 48 laws straight to The 50th Law, and it wasn't just to endorse fifty.

Edit: Found this on RationalMale.com: The 49th Law being: Never educate others of the principles of power, which is itself a form of using power.

Law 49: Actually implement the first 48 into your life.

Law 49: Know your audience

Every group has shortcomings and topics which will make people go irrational, even groups which advocate free speech. Talking about the shortcomings or unique ideas related to your group's ideology won't improve their thinking, but only cause them to resent you. Do not point out any common flaws of a group you represent.

On the nature of gamification and context. These laws only apply to the game in the sense that the game you are playing is understood. The most dangerous game of them all is the one you are unaware you are playing.

Don't hamster. Catch yourself rationalizing and intellectualizing (essentially, chickening out in a disguised way), and fight those impulses.
