Clickbait Title: grown man gets owned by a line of people Blizzcon 2023 was an interesting experience. I personally had a lot of fun, but maybe not for the reasons or in the ways that the organizers intended.

A Crowd scares me. At some point it stops being just a group of individuals with their own agency, and take on a life of it's own. I feel a dark, brooding, irrational energy in these large gatherings, a feeling that chaos, pandemonium, and outright violence are much nearer to the surface then they ought to be.

First thought was: wow, this reminds me of when Anime Expo (largest anime-focused con in the USA, at least at the time) decided to premier a brand new ticket system on "day 0" (aka: the day before the event, when people who pre-purchased admission can go get their pass without waiting in the extra-long lines on one of the main days, thus maximizing their time in the con and reducing the main admission lines). And then this untested system crashed. We were in a line that didn't move-- a line that went around the block and stretched far away from the convention premises, with little to no con staff to direct it-- for a few hours before we heard what was going on and gave up. Legend has it that alllll the registration checking was being done by a single woman on a laptop at a desk, and some people waited over 10 hours. Just to get the pass to enter the con the next day. :') Second thought was: hold up, the WoW people running the WoW convention didn't account for whale behavior???? Excuse me???????????

You're very right about this. I used to quip that the IQ of any group is the floor of the IQs of individual members divided by the no. of members, but it goes so much deeper than mere intelligence. Mind you, that "atmosphere" is also kind of alluring and infectious to many people and one of the reasons why e.g. attending big sports events in person is so popular. But it can be very dangerous, too.
