Given the color and size of the spheres, I’m guessing they use solar power and stay aloft by being mostly full of vacuum. As such, statement 2 doesn’t seem particularly crazy.
People consider all sorts of wacky things evil, regardless of, or even in direct opposition to, what the previous generation thought of as evil. As such statement 3 doesn’t shock me at all. There are already some pretty solid arguments circulating about how locking people up for trivial offenses and giving them little or no opportunity to socialize except with career criminals is a bad idea.
Statement 1 is on it’s face inconsistent with what I know about thermodynamics, but there are some pretty big gaps in our understanding of how gravity works, so the paint could just be a way to request a lift from some orbiting tractor-beam taxi service. A stretch, but not inconceivable.

Possibly I am just numb to absurdity.
