You are the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine. It’s time to select the Person of the Year. (None of the below hypothetical is a reference to real people or events.)
On the one hand, you have a genocidal, monstrous person who has had immense effect on world events that year, affecting the lives of billions. This person is responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths, immense damage to the planet, more atrocities than Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc.
On the other hand, you have a saintly figure who’s done quite a bit of good in the world that year, such as some humanitarian work that has brought benefit to a considerable number of people. Quite possibly the most saintly figure of the year - however, this hero/heroine’s impact on the world is undeniably much less than that of the monster mentioned above - maybe only one-tenth as much.
Given that TIME Magazine’s criteria has traditionally been, “the person who was most impactful on world events that year,” who would you choose for Person of the Year? Bear in mind that most people still misunderstand it and consider Person of the Year to be an indication of virtue.
- The monster
- The saint

You are a departing president of the United States. Inauguration Day is tomorrow. The incoming president-elect is someone along the likes of Marjorie-Taylor-Greene, Matt Gaetz, Ramaswamy, DeSantis, Kat Kerr, Lauren Boebert or even worse. It is presidential tradition to leave a handwritten letter on the Oval Office desk for the successor. What do you write?
- The standard short ‘wish you well’ letter; boilerplate and bland
- An unusually long, detailed warning of the damage the successor could do to the nation if they don’t heed warnings
- No letter at all
- A short 1-page letter that reads like the usual bland one, but has a sharper and more serious tone to it
- No words of your own, but rather, you leave them a pithy quote or a passage from some relevant book
- Leave them a sheet of paper that has some of their better-sounding campaign promises copied+pasted on it, as a reminder
