You have a paradise planet, which group do you populate it with ?

Let's say you somehow discover (through the help of aliens) a paradise planet a thousand light years away, a total garden of Eden where everything is hospitable to human life in the extreme. It is a beautiful, lush, comfortable world with abundant food and water and an ideal climate and atmosphere. A heaven world.
The aliens tell you you must now choose one subgroup of humans to be teleported to the planet and colonize it.
You will also live with them if you choose.
What sub group of community do you choose to give this enormous blessing and responsibility too, and why?
I would choose spiritual mystics- Buddhist monks, yogis, sadhus etc.
because they would have everything they need to survive they could focus on spiritual enlightenment and would live lightly upon the planet with compassion and wisdom, free of material greed and peaceful.
Who would you choose?

i would base my decision not on their religious knowledge but what they bring to the table. i would fill the population ranks with mostly engineers- biological, chemical, aeronautical, agricultural, electrical, mechanical, software, computer, and countless programmers. the others would be the missing gaps and smaller necessities to make things work more smoothly.

I'd create a force that would protect the people and their inalienable rights. Mandatory marijuana would be enforced and every home must have 1 loaded gun per person.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Yeah I was gonna say that. I stress that they have to be hot. Not those sloppy hairy savage crazy hippies like the one that attacked that military officer in Forest Gump. I'm talking about like modern hippy chicks who are usually just like a normal looking girl who wears hippy clothing and does psychedelics and is just really chill

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.

Something related to these, doesn't have to be Buddhists though, just open minded spiritual people would do just fine.
