Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

I don't think we will ever be able to make enough spaceships to abduct all of the idiots from Terra...
Then why not exterminate the rest?

All humans are stupid.
Just some are stupider than others.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

No, the stupids in their government bunkers who control various important countries. And also various religious groups that aren't automatically targeted as stupid.

We could always power the laser with christian fundamentalists. I've got some relatives you could use as fuel in that case.

Yeah, great idea to piss off one of the bigger religions, which is the most common in the US and much of Europe.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

No using sentients as fuel for lasers. Its bad PR, and PR is everything. Also, woah, are there some new faces here?

Fine then. We could always find a way to extract the stupid from people to power the laser. That way we'd have our superweapon, and be bettering humanity at the same time.
