I feel "Let's just" is doing much of the work here. You can add the phrase in front of any idea and make it sound awful:

"Let's just make planes fly themselves"

"Let's just put a giant battery in a car instead of an engine"

"Let's just make electricity from wind"

"Let's just be friends"

I would love to see a list like this without such a big asterisk.

Let’s just make a list without asterisk.
