But you could just as easily extend this out the other way and say that the ideal society is Adam (with or without Eve depending on how far you want to take it) in a version of the Garden that lacked the Tree Of Knowledge Of Good And Evil so they had no choice but to stay in it forever, after all, minimal number of people in basically perfect bliss, shouldn't that be the Repugnant Conclusion's dream scenario
