You wouldn't be stuck with the fog, you would be able to toggle it on and off. The purpose is to make it obvious which areas you've already seen, so that you can know which areas of the world you still have yet to explore!
A hypothetical should be absolutely as barebones minimal as it can possibly be. The point of a hypothetical is to isolate the actual point you're trying to ask about. In the one you wrote, i think what you're trying to ask is "How should we value people's ambition, success, and ethics?" So the setup should be something like this:
"You're tasked with giving a million dollars to one of the following random people. All you know about them is these descriptions you were handed."
And then after the descriptions of the people just say "Who would you choose to give the money to?
That's how all us humans learn how to do things. You try something and see how it could be done better next time. Then you try again over and over until you're good at it.
This hypothetical makes no sense to me. Why couldn't they all be given something of value? If the dying person only has one valuable item then sell it and share the money equally. If the dying person doesn't want the item to be sold then set up a sharing agreement where they each get to have it for equal amounts of time. Etc. But even in your version of it you say the dying person has several things of value to give away. I don't understand the premise or point of this hypothetical.
NO! Fuck no! I'd MUCH rather have a fewer number of episodes that are all good instead of many episodes watered down by filler all throughout. It is a certainty that making more episodes per time period causes the episodes to be less good.
Show me a cop who doesn't park their personal car illegally and I'll stop thinking ACAB. It's not that that's terrible, it's that it's a glaringly visible sign that you believe laws don't apply to you.
Note: Only some types of sand from some places have an interesting appearance microscopically. Most sand will just look like little rocks. Or at least that iirc from the last time this image was circulating.
You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not....

Coincidentally i happened to see this episode last night, and it is basically as described in the comic, and i had the exact same problem with this plot.
And in the current condition of streaming video, it's a service problem AND a pricing problem. If there was a single service that had nearly every title available, that service could maybe be worth 30-40 ish a month. But instead now if you want access to all titles you have to subscribe to a ton of separate services, never know where to find what you're looking for, and would have to pay around a hundred bucks a month. So instead i pirate, where the cost is zero dollars a month and everything is always located in the same place.
I'm in favor of being able to pay to access a library containing 99% of titles in existence, even though i don't "own" permanent access to them. If i had to pay a higher price to "own" each individual title then i would have access to VASTLY less media. But for that monthly payment it must offer access to 99% of titles in existence, and the price must be reasonable for the amount of entertainment value i actually derive from it. Spotify is a perfect example of a 99% complete library at a reasonable price. And yeah as you point out, the service must be available on all devices, like Spotify is.
The US didn't have it's manufacturing plants bombed to ruble, in fact the US's manufacturing capacity grew enormously during the war, and it then suddenly had no war to supply so it could all suddenly be put toward building other things. This is one of the reasons why the US economy grew so much after the war.
