An interesting thought experiment.
What you forgot about, Moonshoe, is the Earth you leave behind if you take all the spiritual mystics away.
What you're doing is creating a Pure Land, I think you know what that means.
How would I define my Pure Land?
I would make it a kind of rapture.
I would extend an invitation to all GOOD PEOPLE of GOOD WILL of this world so that they can choose whether they want to come.
I'd make sure no infectious diseases and other pests such as head lice and tape worms carry along with them, so that my Pure Land will be free of infectious diseases and parasites until they evolve spontaneously.
Most good people of good will will stay on Earth, especially those under perilous circumstances, for whom the Earth is a desert and who crave an oasis will choose to move to the new planet, selecting a small motivated population of perhaps a few hundred million.
Few people are evil. We accept this. What most have a hard time accepting is that also few people are consistently good. Many people stay neutral, not really choosing the right hand path or left hand path, just opportunistically grabbing left and right which is of their choosing.
The situation you get is that I take off the earth a group of good people who are not thriving and which will subsequently thrive in the Pure Land, and leave the Earth with all good people who were already thriving, so those who were most beneficial to the Earth population.
The Earth will quickly recover from this loss, the Pure Land gets the best possible start.
I'd go with the away team, sorry guys.

I'd pick all the best shroomerites, martial artists, athletes, and engineers.

I would choose spiritual mystics- Buddhist monks, yogis, sadhus etc.
Something related to these, doesn't have to be Buddhists though, just open minded spiritual people would do just fine.
Deadheads would be fun too, rivers of LSD...did you hear what I said...RIVERS OF LSD!

K I might have to change mine to that. As long as they are hygienic and shave lol. And aren't all uptight about being vegan or green or whatever.
That's like saying "sexy gay guys" as long as they don't like dick.

I don't think we have very comprehensive IQ tests really.
