TIL In 1774, Frederick the Great ordered Prussians to grow potatoes as protection against famine, but the populace were disgusted by them and refused. The king then planted “royal potato field” but allowed peasants to steal from it, which re-marketed the potato into a major food crop.

6D chess

what level of reverse psychology are you on

He didn’t just allow the peasants to steal from it, he deliberately hired guards to protect the field, making it seem valuable and ordered them to be lax in their patrols, so the valuable crop seemed like easy pickings, and even ordered them to accept all bribes and let the peasants go should the guards accidentally catch someone in the act of stealing the potatoes.

He want out of his way to make the damn things seem like the most valuable, but easiest thing to get hold of, in the world.

He’s living in 1750 but his thinking is 3035
