"If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight!" Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor. Then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth. And then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of every single one. And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a zoo! Unless it's a farm!
@@enochianwolf I have listened to 3 or 4 different versions of The Art of War over the years. That's not a huge amount but it is probably more than most other people.

As for using it to fake someone saying something that a company would fire them over, or worse, faking confessions of something that can land them in prison, yes it needs to be taken into account from the point where it's impossible to tell the difference, that audio proof is not good enough to guarantee they said anything, as long as it can't be verified as being truly the individual and not an AI being used to create fake evidence.

A better title for “The Art of War” should be “How to be a General for idiots” because the book was written for noble snobs who knew nothing about warfare. That’s why Sun Tzu repeats a lot of what he says in the book
I need to have every book read by this voice it is so comfortable to listen to i swear. I just come back because of Joshua i listened to this book for three times already
I unironically have listened to this multiple times, the voice of Johsua reading Sun Tzu is fantastic and incredibly in character. Thank you greatly for this
What an interesting listen. These are all pretty self explanatory and one could come up with these ideas using common sense but something about the way its explained really gets you thinking about how you can use many of the same principles to make non war related decisions.
I have a extremely hard time reading books I have a hard time listening to audio books before I tune them out. This this held my attention all the way through! I'd love more!
42:22, Joshua Graham said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal, because he was the Malpais Legate. And then he was such a brutal leader that he's still in the minds of Caesar's Legion!
Courier: How in THE HELL did you lose the First Battle of Hoover Dam? Graham: Firstly, the book was written five centuries before the birth of Christ; relevant as many of the lessons still are in this age, war has evolved in the millennia since. The phrase "war never changes" is a commentary on why war is waged, not how. Secondly, my opponents undoubtedly had access to the same knowledge I did, if not more. Thirdly, erudition is not the same as perspicacity, just as intellect is not the same as wisdom; remember that my folly was a not a lack of knowledge, but a lack of adaptability. Courier:...Oh. Graham: Indeed; hand me the oil, please?
It's scary how much AI voice has improved over old TTS. I'd swear there are moments that sound like genuine passionate speech. It's not perfect but probably will be within a year.
he is currently filling magazines in a pistol every 7 seconds at this rate he can effectively reload 9 pistols every minute. since this video is roughly 62 minutes, he has effectively reloaded 558 pistols by the end of this video.

who ? and who cares. when he no longer exists physically then what? cant hear him anymore because of greed and copyright even if his skull has worms sigh die die die
Dude the voice fits so well with the art of war i love this man
I'm really hoping you make a video of him reading the entire bible!
They have a couple chapters in a playlist and they sound just as good.
It's eerie how seamless this is....
To think if Joshua actually read Art of War he might have won Hoover Dam…. Why do I suddenly feel a cold wind?
Literally just listened to this whole working 😂
This is perfect. Have him read other stuff
Didn't know I needed this audiobook but here I am
should be called "sun tzus the art of filler", blud had to say every sentence four times. reinforce the right, the left is weak, reinforce the left the right is weak, bro we get it
A better title for “The Art of War” should be “How to be a General for idiots” because the book was written for noble snobs who knew nothing about warfare. That’s why Sun Tzu repeats a lot of what he says in the book
I need to have every book read by this voice it is so comfortable to listen to i swear. I just come back because of Joshua i listened to this book for three times already
You guys realise we can have fully voiced Joshua companion in NV now?
Ah yes another addition to my collection of Joshua Graham readings
I unironically have listened to this multiple times, the voice of Johsua reading Sun Tzu is fantastic and incredibly in character. Thank you greatly for this
The truly amazing thing about Joshua is the infinite amount of pistols he has on that table.
I'm impressed that he can remember the entire book while inspecting hundreds of guns.
Greatness, this is.
Ah....Wayne June. Forever immortal like Joshua Graham now is. I for one welcome our new AI overlords giving our kids bedtime stories
This is one of the best videos on UA-cam
This is one of the best things I've ever accidentally found and holy hell am I in love with this please make more
Check out my other Joshua Graham video!

Bet your ass I already did I binged both before I fell asleep you sir are a gentleman and a scholar
What an interesting listen. These are all pretty self explanatory and one could come up with these ideas using common sense but something about the way its explained really gets you thinking about how you can use many of the same principles to make non war related decisions.
I have a extremely hard time reading books I have a hard time listening to audio books before I tune them out. This this held my attention all the way through! I'd love more!
It is actualy impessive what AI can do.
Her is what I reccon that makes it so good.
He breaths. He gets loud and firery. He get quiet and pronounced.
Sun Tzu says: can't expect your generals to do all the work.
42:22, Joshua Graham said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal, because he was the Malpais Legate. And then he was such a brutal leader that he's still in the minds of Caesar's Legion!
Courier: How in THE HELL did you lose the First Battle of Hoover Dam?
Graham: Firstly, the book was written five centuries before the birth of Christ; relevant as many of the lessons still are in this age, war has evolved in the millennia since. The phrase "war never changes" is a commentary on why war is waged, not how. Secondly, my opponents undoubtedly had access to the same knowledge I did, if not more. Thirdly, erudition is not the same as perspicacity, just as intellect is not the same as wisdom; remember that my folly was a not a lack of knowledge, but a lack of adaptability.
Courier:...Oh.
Graham: Indeed; hand me the oil, please?
That would be an amazing dialogue option.
Joshua Graham recites the Art of War...while reloading his stacks of M1911s!
Can you do Ulysses as well?
That would be awesome
Can't have Ulysses unless he drops something about *the bear and the bull* every other minute.
I was waiting on my current Art of War audio book for this to come out, YOU THE MAN
Book of Five Rings would be perfect for this guys voice
*ahem*

I could fall asleep listening to this
Edit: did fall asleep, best sleep ever 10/10
I need Joshua to read every Warhammer books.
I love this so much. The voice, the book, the setting of it feels perfectly consistent. Joshua absolutely would have read this book.
They need to do this with Andrew Ryan's voice, reading BioShock: Rapture in audio book fashion
Or Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
@@CantoniaCustoms I also thought that.
@HonkieKowboy II: The return of the king. Trash books and author
@@longiusaescius2537 oh I absolutely concur. Literally a godless feminist.
Im unironically going to listen to all of this
It's scary how much AI voice has improved over old TTS. I'd swear there are moments that sound like genuine passionate speech. It's not perfect but probably will be within a year.
_Be subtle... BE SUBTLE_
Chills
The art of war is the art of deception I ❤ Joshua Graham
Instructions unclear, i Literally fell asleep a to this and woke up a general in eu4
he is currently filling magazines in a pistol every 7 seconds
at this rate he can effectively reload 9 pistols every minute.
since this video is roughly 62 minutes, he has effectively reloaded 558 pistols by the end of this video.
