Title: Fun Time Merryment - Con Pals
Post by: Nick Zebra on April 30, 2008, 10:31:04 AM
Every year my "crew" seems to get larger with every coming Con. So without further ado I would like to invite anyone to pal around, dance in the Cosplay line, walk around in stupors and generally engage in merryment. The way I see it, there is no reason everyone can't build SOME sort of camaraderie, right? Right?

Might be interested in hanging out. Actually, make that an "almost definitely," as I'm trying out this bit of journalistic experimentation this year (thus the sig link). And where there are people, there are stories, yeah? Pretty much the only thing I really have planned out is that "Damn You Internets" is a must-go on my schedule. >_>

Well, a utilitarian approach to world betterment is, frankly, reasonable. Light's flaw was that he depended solely upon his own limited perspective to enact such deeds- and that he was only able to provide a stout and potent stick to motivate societal change. No carrots. Positive and negative reinforcement gets greater results than using either of them alone. But the first problem was the most damning. Without omniscience, you have to rely on external critique and perspective, so as to make up for your own blind spots- and as intelligent as he was, Light had plenty of mental blind spots.

well aslo the whole im doing it for the betterment part yet he is just as bad. that type of thinking i cant stand. i dont want to get to into it cus i could probly typed up a page or more long rant about it. but that requries time and microsoft word for spell check :D

Well, a utilitarian approach to world betterment is, frankly, reasonable. Light's flaw was that he depended solely upon his own limited perspective to enact such deeds- and that he was only able to provide a stout and potent stick to motivate societal change. No carrots. Positive and negative reinforcement gets greater results than using either of them alone. But the first problem was the most damning. Without omniscience, you have to rely on external critique and perspective, so as to make up for your own blind spots- and as intelligent as he was, Light had plenty of mental blind spots.

example?

Forgetting that the Shinigami was not his ally would be the most egregious one, I'd say.

To Nick and the others I hung out with this weekend: I had an excellent, excellent time. I'm sorry I didn't hang out with you guys more, actually, but I'll crop that up to my cell phone service dying on the second bloody day. What luck, eh? Let's see about doin' it all again in 09, folks. But better.
