I am still curious: when is it acceptable to hope that something is actually going to work well enough when handed over to the government?

The problem is that the government was handed an emotion and a mandate to eliminate it. You’ve declared a “war on jealousy” and demanded the government assemble the troops. That’s not handing them a well reasoned plan and “hoping they don’t mess it up”, you messed it up when you scribbled “no more addiction” on a protest sign.

When the consequences of the government not abusing it isn’t devastating.
