Fourth brain-curated override. 11 slides (1 hook + 1 intro + 8 laws + 1 close — denser than typical 10-slide pattern because each law gets its own slide). Greene = viral BookTok author, performance ceiling intentionally targeted (controversy + Law-imperative quote density drives saves + comments). Caption: 'Greene spent 6 years with kings and assassins. The rules of power haven't changed.'
