We live in a world of exhausting social nerdery. Only a Lost fan could enjoy this reality. Arbitrary social complexity for the sake of arbitrary social complexity for. A soap opera that thinks it’s a mystery.

Thought experiment. If we could clone the planet minus all humans into as many copies as we liked, one for any group that wanted to just go off by itself, how many clones would we make? Remember each clone would be an opt-in fork. I think answer is zero.

Heh. Premise: clone happens at a safe point (eg all nuclear reactors turned off, all planes landed). Anyone can propose a clone earth and invite anyone they want and exclude anyone they want. Would any proposal work? I doubt it.

Anyone you wanted to exclude would likely be wanted by somebody you have to have to make your world work. The intersection of everyone’s exclude sets is null. The union of everyone’s must-haves is everybody.

I'm sure you'd get enough weird dogmatic religions to give you a few copies. There's also individuals who genuinely just want to return to Monkey, and if a person counts as a group you'd have a bunch of single-occupant hermit planets.
