（Facta non Verba; 意为：做就做，别逼逼)

(Chapter in Skin in the Game)

关于风险共担这一章节

Dead horse in your bed — Friendship via poisoned cake –Roman Emperors and U.S. presidents –A living enemy is worth ten dead ones

The best enemy is the one you own by putting skin in his game and letting him know the exact rules that come with it. You keep him alive, in the knowledge that he owes this to your benevolence. The notion that an enemy you own is better than a dead one was perfected by the order of the Assassins, so we will do some digging into the work of that secret society.

今天文章的主题：

1）发现你的床上有只死马

2）某些人通过毒蛋糕建立友谊

3）关于罗马皇帝和美国总统

俗话说，一个活着的敌人胜过十个死去的敌人。

（与其简单让这些敌人见上帝，倒不如让他们跪下来遵守你的游戏规则）

你让他活着的唯一目的，因为你知道他应该得到你的仁慈。然而使这个敌人苟活远比杀死你的敌人对你更有利这一观念是由古老的刺客组织发展并完善的，所以我们将深入研究这个秘密组织的工作。
