Sun Tzu For Activists

I think that it's important to have a theoretical framework with which to make your strategic and tactical decisions. I am no expert on strategy, but ever since first reading Sun Tzu's Art of War I've been fascinated by the rational and relentlessly effective methods of organizing your efforts that he lays out in thirteen tiny chapters.

The translation I love the most is by R. L. Wing who translated the title as The Art of Strategy. I particularly like this emphasis because Sun Tzu did believe that actual warfare is the last resort.

What would people think of starting a study group of Sun Tzu's strategic principils with activism and creating change in mind? I have found it valuable to organize and prioritize my own efforts using this stuff. It might be fun as well as useful for us collectively to make this one of the things we use to make our decisions about our collective efforts.

Studying this stuff is mental martial arts. Would people want to use R. L. Wing's system of splitting the book into 52 short parts, one for each week of the year? Or if somebody has another idea for the scheduling, let everybody know.
