That's not what I meant. I meant that if more people studied multiple fields, there would be less ignorance.

True enough.
Pleasure can be a distraction, so like most things, moderation is best.

[outplayed]

oh [ hm. ]
i dont think its that simple but i guess i agree with that nonetheless

[ boy who didn't ever attend school properly... personally, kaiser would say there's bigger problems that need to be solved before the world can even get to the point of guaranteeing people can study in general... ]

everything in moderation?
i dont think theres such a thing as having too much ambition, personally.

[crimsoncommander]

No, it's not simple, but nothing worth doing ever is easy or simple.

[That's a good point, but Akashi doesn't know Kaiser didn't go to school.]

Sometimes ambition can drive away the ones you love. That's what happened with Kuroko and the rest of us.

[outplayed]

that just means you wanted to be loved more than you wanted to succeed, no?

[crimsoncommander]

No.

The response was immediate. But then, after a minute of him reconsidering.]

I want to succeed and not lose the respect of people I care about. I want to be a better winner.

[outplayed]

then you have the ambition to win in a way that doesnt mean you have to sacrifice anything else
so, i still think what i said is true... theres no such thing as too much ambition...
maybe there is such a thing as the wrong ambition, though.

[crimsoncommander]

Yes. Yes, that's what I'm learning.
There are plenty of wrong ambitions.

[outplayed]

... that said, i dont think theres anything wrong with having a wrong ambition or two
living is learning or whatever the fuck, no?

[crimsoncommander]

I suppose it's degrees of wrong.
Wanting to be the world's best serial killer would be definitely too wrong.

[outplayed]

what, do you have inklings of that ambition...?

[crimsoncommander]

I do not.

But my counterpart did try to stab someone, so who knows?

[outplayed]

could just be his way of saying hello, no?

[crimsoncommander]

No, because he's only tried to stab one person.

[outplayed]

fine, lets revise that: could just be his way of saying hello *to somebody he really doesnt like
but one stabbing isnt enough to really judge either way, is it?

[crimsoncommander]

Hmmm. Something to think about.

[outplayed]

yeah so keep me posted if you feel like stabbing anybody else, im interested in knowing

[crimsoncommander]

Is there someone you want me to stab?

[outplayed]

no, not at all
im more interested in what might compel you to do something like that

[crimsoncommander]

Very well. I'll keep you updated.
