The existence of tall buildings is racist against short people.  Also, with a unique culture and phenotypical presentation, short people are a race.

The Mongols should be charged – with interest – for the costly effects of the raids of their ancestors, just as some people consider doing for other countries and ethnic groups.

Eucalyptus is an invasive species within the range of the United States.  The President should task the military with eradicating it from the country.

Instead of making protein bars out of crickets, we should breed cricket-sized chickens.

The Institute for Ethical Supervillainy is not a valid cause for Effective Altruism.

Trolley Problem Waifus for Those with No Laifus: Real Facebook page, produced by a neural network, or something I made up just now?  Our fifteen-member expert panel debates.

The existence of tall people is racist against short people.

The Mongols countersue for retroactive carbon credits for the forest boom that occurred after they depopulated a swath of central Asia.

People are an invasive species within the United States.

We should take regular protein bars and give them feathers and sentience.

Since supervillains are proactive and superheroes reactive, supervillainy is ultimately humanity’s only chance of surviving the long-term threats it faces.

In the future all panels of talking head pundits will be structured like anime harem comedies.

The existence of tall people is inefficient, and we should genetically engineer future generations to be smaller to save money on clothing fabrics.

Hungary should pay reparations for the deeds of Attila the Hun, but it’s unclear whether to modern Italy, Greece, Germany, Turkey, or the EU as a whole (except Hungary).

After 45 years, descendants of an invasive plant species that germinated in US soil should automatically be granted US citizenship.

We should grow cricket meat in petri dishes, and make it chocolate-flavoured.

Heroism is portrayed as innate and undemocratic, while supervillany usually depends on technology like giant lasers, gene-editing viruses or portable flamethrowers that can be open-sourced and democratised. Instead of individuals charitably donating to an elite group of super-villains, the government should create tax incentives for a sustainable mad scientist middle class.

That’s a false dichotomy. Good neural networks will eventually fake real things by accident. Deepfakes will become so good that they will be admissible as video evidence in court, because if you train them on our Facebook profiles, they can accurately predict any past or future event.
