Poisoning The Well
Irrelevant Conclusion
Film is better than digital
Digital video is easier to work with, more flexible, and cheaper to use. Maybe you should elaborate, better by what standards are we talking about?

Socialism is more effective at poverty reduction and ensuring the meeting of basic needs than capitalism
The US poverty rate decline has never been as fast as it was just prior to the beginning of socialist programs and the war on poverty, which promptly resulted in a plateau of the poverty rate.

Fallacy Of False Cause
A.I shouldn't be enslaved
If an A.I. claims to suffer, there's no test we could perform to verify that it is a true claim (one couldn't even prove or falsify that another human can suffer or isn't themselves some complex automaton), and we should therefor take the A.I. at its word.

The copyright length should be reduced from 70 years after the creators death to 20 years after the creation is publicly available
If that's true, which I agree that it is, then copyright should actually be reduced to zero years.

Teaching evolution in biology classes should be mandatory, with no chance to opt out
People have the right to choose what they desire to learn about. To insist that learning any concept be mandatory, is to insist that you have a higher right to someone else's mind than they themselves do.

A.I shouldn't be enslaved
When it comes to an internal experience, like suffering. The only possible thing you can do is take their word or infer from body language. This is not a proof. An A.I. claiming that it suffers from mistreatment, is just as impossible to verify as a human making the same claim.

A.I shouldn't be enslaved
Health is not proof of an emotional experience, or any conscious experience for that matter. It's only proof of the prolonged physical effect of things like cortisol in the bloodstream. You can have observable cause and effect of systems interacting. But that doesn't require emotions.

Mixed Martial Arts should be taught in school from an early age.
But the bullies would have been trained in MMA too, and cancel out. This would essentially cause an arms race.
