It's a very cool format, for sure.

#4This was well cited with a lot of fun media references. The author makes a few interesting points on rationale for randomization, calling known unknowns and confounding factors as something one could plan for and avoid.
Anybody know of other writers that do research and writing in this style? I quite enjoyed it.

#5The ability to kill anyone one chose would be a far more terrifying weapon if used to instill fear. If someone used to this ability to kill individuals who didn't fit their agenda but kept anonymity about their goals, whatever changed they wished would only happen fairly slowly and haphazardly - those replacing the dead wouldn't have that much chance to produce different policies.
Also, even a bunch of seemingly random deaths with implications would likely produce terrifying fits of paranoia and retribution in the populace - remember humans can't not-see patterns in the thing they focus on, so a death-weapon would change the world this way - not sure if that what your psychopath wanted.
If an actor could kill "anyone nominated to head party X" then things would get ugly but even more, "do these things and you're immune" notes could certainly get people moving, especially if these were seemingly benevolent. "Random company heads die 'till CO2 production declines X amount" for example.

#6If it's true that privacy is dead, how come Satoshi is still unknown?

He/they may be known to some. https://medium.com/cryptomuse/how-the-nsa-caught-satoshi-nak...

The deathnote game is played iteratively. Satoshi ceased publishing before running out of bits.

Satoshi hasn't posted in almost 9 years. If he was still active, it's much less likely he would still be unknown.

Agree wholeheartedly. It's rare to find a website today that is so abjectly different than the rest of the web.
