For anyone that doesn’t know about Death Note it’s a fictional notebook from a death god. If you write someone’s name in it while picturing thier face they die. You can also manipulate thier actions and method of death to some extent.

Death note rules.

          Not if they’re picturing the correct person. Writing the wrong name but picturing the correct person will result in no death so as to keep the innocent or same-name people alive. It’s in the rules.

              It needs to be his legal name. That’s also addressed in Death Note, where the lead investigator goes by a moniker “L” and can’t be targeted by the Death Note until after Light learns L’s real legal name. Nicknames or incomplete names aren’t enough.

        Yeah, to actually affect any real change, it needs to send a message. While freak accidents would make for great memes, they don’t send the “this is a warning; nobody is untouchable. You could be next if you don’t clean up your act” message that will actually cause lasting change.

        Freak accidents can be hand waved away. Conspiracy theorists would go wild, but the ruling elites wouldn’t actually change anything. You want something that can’t be explained away as anything but a targeted and coordinated attack.

        If you want to send a message, maybe have them all simultaneously choke on a 50 cent coin. It’s common enough that anyone can get their hands on one, but uncommon enough that you basically need to seek them out. That would at least send a “money bad” message. But be sure it’s something consistent, to ensure the message is actually received.

      For some unknowable reason, I am reminded of this exchange in an X-Files episode about a psychic who could supposedly predict people’s deaths.

      Psychic: You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can’t think of a more undignified one than autoerotic asphyxiation.

      Mulder: Why are you telling me that?

      I’d put Putin and Netanyahu above Trump. Let the hard right see it coming. They would believe it was a coincidence, continue on with Musk. Let them see the circle tighten. Hit Kim Jong-un and Xi to let them know it’s not a Western thing.

      Roll on with the AfD actors, Nazis be damned. Still not cluing in? Start with the remainder of your list, roll.

      Can we do a mass hit on the January 6th rebels? No? OK. Start with Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, 39, of Miami, Florida. And never stop until… Every. Last. Motherfucking. One. Of. Them. Is. Dead.

      Spare Trump. Leave him shaking in his high-heeled loafers. Let him live in FEAR.

            Hoarding it until he dies is still hoarding it.

            There are no ethical billionaires because the act of hoarding a billion dollars is inherently unethical. Giving only some of it to charity is not enough to justify how much more damage was done in the first place.

              There’s an old Indian story about a rich man who gives every beggar he sees a coin, until he has no more coins and is a beggar himself.

              How much good did that man do by frittering away his wealth? You’re surely familiar with the adage, “It takes money to make money.”

              Would you have a man like Gates blast out all his wealth, and then be unable to produce more to continue his philanthropy? Would you have him shut down his disease eradication and vaccination programs so as to not be an evil billionaire? Would that somehow clear his conscience? Or would it merely make you feel better?

                The problem is he’s only making money, even his “charitable” actions are made in the interest of creating an entire environment that is more exploitative by his investments.

                He did an AMA on reddit a few years ago, and when asked about his charitable ventures and investments, he mostly just made reference to teams of financiers doing “what they thought was best”.

                Maybe he’s doing what he thinks is best… but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is what’s best for most people.

                Frankly, his money would be best spent lobbying for progressive policies and funding candidates who fight for the working class. Everything else is a staying action at best, and “moral exploitation” at the least.

                If that’s possible nobody should be able to be rich, because it depends on everyone else being poor. I do agree that if you take care of yourself you can do more good in the world, but the relentless flow of money upward and industry set up to exploit the poor need to be dismantled.

                A billionaire would need to give a coin every second of his life for millions of years to deplete their fortune. The rich man of the story wasn’t rich enough, or was giving much more than a coin.

        The Death Note doesn’t control the actions of anybody except the people named in the note, and if the condition cannot be fulfilled then they simply die of a heart attack.

        So you’d have to be a truly terrible person to make that one happen.

            Certainly I wouldn’t be the sort to write such a comment!

            BTW IIRC, the Death Note can only control people’s actions for a limited time. Something like 20 or 24 days.

    Nothing. Anyone who uses the Death note cannot go to heaven or hell. That would basically confirm the existence of heaven and hell. My understanding is that heaven is infinite. Nothing in this finite world would be worth risking infinity in paradise. I would take it, chat with a god of death, ask many questions, and then decline.

      Death Note ending spoilers

      The real reason the Death Note user can’t go to heaven or hell is because there is no heaven or hell to begin with. Ryuk was just trolling Light when he told him that’s the price to use the Death Note.

      So not using it won’t actually save your soul, because all souls become nothingness in the end no matter what.
