More will just spawn and take their place.

actually, if we could remove the sociopaths from power, it would allow academics to over. it's not that hard to engineer a society where people aren't like they are now. we're learned behavior creatures. it's possible to unlearn what we know now and teach our children to never be this way again.

More heads require more guillotines.

Can we not design guillotines that cut multiple heads at once, thus reducing the head to guillotine ratio?

You're onto something here.

I guess we could stack the rich on top of each other. That way we wouldn't even have to modify the guillotine. We'd just have to make sure the blade is extra sharp.

What really matters is the back-to-nose distance, this gives you the head-per-chop ratio but also drives the max-head-per-chop value which itself depends on the blade weight and max blade height which limited by the ceiling height if inside or the max free standing of the pillars if outside.

Make the design 4D, and stack them in multiple dimensions, maybe one 4D guillotine is even sufficient?

And for testing purposes, we could try them on the designers!

What a blast!

But what about places where heads won't roll? They deserve a space to be able to access.

The heads yearn for the guillotines
