u/PeridexisErrant [+5] put aside fear for courage, and death for life (a minute later)
I just love the last few lines:
I created this list in five minutes. Until I came into this meeting I didn't even know what Project Ground Effect was.
A human being? Draw up an international treaty outlawing that tosh. God help us, there isn't a worse idea in the world. We just created a brand new superpower and you're talking about bestowing it on a human being?
u/ArgentStonecutter [+1] Emergency Mustelid Hologram (an hour later)
Is this referring to some movie I haven't heard of?
Larry Niven did this one of the "Gil the Arm" detective stories, ARM. Covers about half the tropes listed here.
Actually, I recommend all the "Gil the Arm" stories. Pretty much all of them are about munckining superscience.
