Could any of those drawbacks you listed ever, conceivably, with even the remotest possibility ever happen in the actual reality
Yes.

- How is the rapist scenario in any way worse than the real life scenario where the rapist knocks out his victim first instead?
Rape is bad, it doesn't need to be worse to be worth our time to stop.

Quote:
This is assuming that it's easy as pie to capture and kidnap someone without being caught, of course.
It seems to happen alot nowadays, why not the future?

Quote:
- Keep everyone in a warehouse and have slaveworkers make money? Why are the slaveworkers slaves?
I give examples. I do not speak of the future as fact, only what can be.
Quote:
Do you have the slightest idea how economics work? How are they powering these machines and to what end?
It doesn't matter how they power the machines. These are examples of what can be, not what is now.
Quote:
Why are these hypothetical monstrous and all-powerful government agents keeping the people alive to begin with? To what degree is this any more efficent than genocide?
That is not importent. This hypothetical is just that, hypothetical.

Quote:
- What if a Microwave causes a hole to be ripped in the fabric of time and our continued existence depends on the continued airing of the Rosie o'Donnel show?
