How does he plan to enforce that, I wonder? It's easy enough to keep kids from migrating "in" but what about children born in wireheading city?
Does he plan to prohibit that through forced birth control + forced abortion? He did mention "birth control will also be available for free" -- maybe by "available" he means "required." Or will he just "ship out" any children residents have within some time frame, and drop them at an orphanage in the "real world"?
Good questions.
Here's my template for plans like this:
10 there's some terrible line that, once you cross it, you're fucked
20 and yet people invariably drift across that line for different reasons
30 it's awful! it hurts our hearts to see it
40 someone draws a new line at great individual and social cost to deal with the horror
50 goto 10reply
odds are that anyone choosing to live there is not likely to be a "fit" parent in the eyes of CPS so the orphanage idea is likely the outcome.
