The 3 Indispensable Rules for Taking Charge: A Reptilian Guide to Personal Finance and World DominationThe 3 Indispensable Rules for Taking Charge: A Reptilian Guide to Personal Finance and World Domination


A tell-all book about the Reptilian conspiracy and indispensable guide to World Domination...fact or fiction? Whichever, this mysterious cold-blooded overlord has answers for all your megalomania needs.

"Lately, we’ve just been sitting around a wheel giving it a spin. The wheel goes around and around and lands on the name of unknown, untalented, unpleasant, usually mildly deranged young ape. The "challenge" of this game is making those untalented wretches famous. No challenge left! A potted plant could become the next pop star. I’m so bored, I’m willing to do a jigsaw puzzle of a jigsaw puzzle."

- Reptilian Conspiracy Theory parody 
- Self-help book, written in 1st person by a "reptilian" who explains exactly what his people do, and how we can overcome their control and be "liberated."
- Describes humans as "primitive hairy monkeys" 
- Reader is disgusted by the reptilian "author's" narcissism, and yet intrigued with what he has to say, 
- Idea that some apes - humans - really are small-minded, un-evolved creatures.
- A projected world of human subjugation, where the Reptilian wants us to be pets, rather than food 
- In the the most basic sense, the book is a comedic jab at how people live their lives without thinking for themselves.
This guide has oddly thought-provoking ideas on liberty, and what it really means to be free, instead of what we've been told "free" is
- Reminiscent of Donald Trump and other business psychopathic personalities 

"For the noble reptilian, only liberty is a viable end goal. Our cold blood motivates us to make our own choices, not to choose who to agree with or what to agree on, but to be the master of our own destiny. We control the future. We never submit. We only control."
