"I could even imagine it as an actual alien, and the swearing is its sophisticated mimicking ability which just repeats the sounds of whatever human it last encountered. ... Imagine exploring an ancient ziggurat on an alien world, a decaying pile of enormous stone blocks stacked precariously by protohistoric architects. You trudge through the tortuous subterrane - a nightmare of yawning chasms, jumping snakes, (jumping) poisonous globs, and shimmering, rainbow-colored flying disks of mysterious origin... Then suddenly, from around a bend, you hear your missing buddy's panicked voice, swearing at the top of his lungs in profuse horror. Do you go check it out? Call to him?"

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either Go Mad from the Revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

Think about how many laws have to not exist in that universe for this show to happen. It's apparently legal for a person or corporation to imprison a person, as long as you feed him. It's legal to film and record someone without his knowledge. It's legal to defraud a person out of literally every possible thing he could have in his life, from a real marriage to a real career. If it can be done to Truman, it can be done to anyone, including you. It's as much an "anything goes" society as The Road Warrior.
