No need to worry about diversity, living together in coexistence or getting along. Like minded people all in one place by mutual consent you could have varieties on the theme with religious fundamentalist, Ditto head, GOP, etc. , all in compounds in a true collective made to order. I should be looking for the cynic collective that believes the human species is a dead end, HOW DEPRESSING!
