Crime and car accidents increase the GNP because of the increased work for police, ambulances and prisons. A reduction in crime reduces the GNP. Similarly, a good way to increase Australian GNP would be to burn down Sydney and Melbourne each year. GNP would grow because of the extra work for fire brigades, undertakers, architects, builders, and plumbers. There would be little to show for all this annual effort – but there would be a higher GNP.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Not much of an economist, is he? Spouting the “Broken Window” fallacy as a way of increasing GNP is not a good way of showing expertise.
Lets say you rebuild to exactly the same value. But you have depleted savings and future earnings (if you have also borrowed to rebuild). Thus, GNP, present and future, has declined.
Indeed. I wonder whether Bastiat spins or laughs in his grave.
