This is unbearably cruel to a whole lot of people, including many who are blameless even under the premises behind the idea. But I think the underlying premise is awfully condescending, oblivious, and misguided, too. Don't do this.
Unfortunately, it fixes itself by eliminating an entire culture of amazing people - intelligent urban Western elites - which I come from and care about. I'll share the future with just Mormons and Amish if need be, but I'll at least try to convince others to join us .
