It's only easy if you take something that's scary-and-nongood and claim it's scary-and-good. Coming up with things that you believe are genuinely optimal, and which happen to be scary, is the realistic way of generating a scary utopia. It is not cheating. And many readers will disagree, but that's fine.
Or you could up with something that has a clear and terrible price, and such confusing and indirect benefits that no human could reasonably figure out their magnitude.
