You are given a Death Note by an amoral wizard. Do you use it?
Yes; outside an artificial narrative, it would be easy to use it for good
Yes; it would be risky, but I could likely do good.
Yes; I am amoral and would use it selfishly.
No; I don't think I could get away with it/do sufficient good.
No; using it would be immoral regardless of how it was used.
The supernatural cosmology of the Death Note universe is not true; the amoral wizard is just a big fan who happened to make his magical killing device function like a Death Note.
"Light Yagami was evil because he thought he could make a better world by killing everyone he didn't like! I'll be different, because I'd kill all the people that I didn't like. Obviously I'd never do anything bad this way."
So, I am also against the death penalty and do not in practice think that anything like this could work. However, the idea that the only way to use a death note is to kill people you personally find deserving of death, rather than to strategically hit targets that will serve your goals- either through their removal itself or through acting as propaganda- is kinda why Light... sucks?
Like obvi the murder. The murder is bad. But also he's stupid about the murder. Why on earth would you spend hours painstakingly taking out the precise people who have the least effect on any actual social phenomenon, with the theoretical goal of spreading the message that uh. You shouldn't... be bad? Whatever that means?
I don't think I would be good at using the death note, or have an ultimately positive effect. It is nearly impossible to accurately predict the effect any incident will have on the wider social consciousness- any political target you take out to show people they can bleed or whatever could just as easily become a martyr for the cause, and most utilitarian functions have redundancies built in.
But. If I did it I would at least be better at it than that fanatical idiot, and it's fun to think about how.
I largely agree, but I'd argue that Light did have a political theory and societal sea change in mind.
The theory was fascism, the change was he'd make everybody too afraid to commit a crime because he was sitting in the Panopticon control room. Kira is supposed to be the ultimate Big Brother, everywhere and nowhere, enforcing his will, and above all else concentrating the power solely in his own hands.
And that's really the danger of the death note, that fascism is basically pre-installed. Your sole tool is murder, and while that gives you temporary perfect control it is also the only carrot or stick you have at your disposal. The rewards you can give are either withholding murder or eliminating somebody another party wants dead.
The entirety of your authority and power rests on use of lethal force and you can't even fully monopolize it. Other people can kill folks you want alive and even get away with it.
If you just treat the thing like the world's best most amazing sniper rifle or a network of assassins you can absolutely use it to aid a cause and effect positive change, but the instant you make it a load bearing element of a political system you're gonna be down to fascism sooner or later.

I get angry when I see that “Many Emotions of Mr Spock” poster. It just fuels people’s false belief that Spock is totally emotionless except while drugged. He suppresses them, but they are not absent. Here are some gifs of Spock’s real emotions peeking through.
Everyone reblog this right now because we need to rid the world of the emotionless Spock poster and replace it with this.
Leonard Nimoy was such a great actor. The fact that he could sneak in all these subtle emotions really added another dimension to Spock. The show would’ve been so boring if he was truly emotionless (like no more sarcastic one-liners? No eyebrow raises?? What’s the point?).

My grandfather and my godfather (a beloved neighbor and dear family friend) had a long standing bet- for one dollar- about who would die first. Both of them being slightly pessimistic (in the funny way), they both insisted that they themselves would be the first to die. Any time my grandfather had a health scare, he’d gleefully call up my godfather to boast that he’d be passing “any day now” and he was sure to win the bet. It was a big family joke and they were always amiably sparring and comparing notes about who was in worse shape, medically speaking.
When my grandfather was in hospice care dying of liver cancer, my godfather was quite ill also. It took him great effort to make the journey to see his dying friend. As he came into the room, supported by a family member, he shuffled to my grandpa’s bedside and silently handed him a dollar bill. He was ceding his loss of the bet, as they both knew who was going first. My grandpa had been in quite bad shape for a while and was no longer able to speak but let me tell you he snatched that dollar with unexpected strength and literally laughed aloud. He knew exactly what the gesture meant and he couldn’t help but find the humor within the grief. It was the last time any of us heard my grandpa laugh, as he passed shortly after.
When I talk about my appreciation for “dark humor” I’m not so much thinking about edgy jokes, but rather the human instinct to somehow, impossibly, both find and appreciate the absurdity that is so often folded into the profound grief of life and death. When I tell this story I think it kind of perturbs people sometimes, but it’s honestly one of my favorite memories about two men I really deeply admired. I could never hope for anything more than for my loved ones to remember me laughing until the very end, and taking joy in a little joke as one of my final acts.

What is that poll, for kids born in 2005?! My first manga was NARUTO or bleach, it was so long ago, I don't remember anymore
I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.
If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?
Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can't go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can't work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.
How many bones do you give?
NONE MY BONES ARE MINE!!!!
Only one.

Tell me in the tags/replies how many bones you'd let the fae take. And as always, reblog for bigger sample size.
if you want to test your luck, this site lets you choose a random human bone :) https://randomlistgenerator.com/human-bones

For a second I didn’t realize it meant “high” as in a stoner--I thought “High Geologist” was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones
