In medieval Chinese myth, a brilliant writer and strategizer documented the best strategies of the day in a book called the thirty-six stratagems. In the separation subsection, there's a bluff called the "Empty Fort Strategy."
This strategy is so crazy, that it just might work.
It enters into the realm of reverse and reverse-reverse psychology in the manner that a bluff in poker does.
In this episode, the guys talk about the Empty Fort Strategy, military bluffs, and general one-upmanship in competition
