   I don't know. I think it can't be done. The "masses" are 7 billion or   
   so. That's a lot of people to bring to a satisfying life. Even if it   
   were possible, it would not look that way due to the necessity of   
   social continuity.  So, hardly anyone would be on the same page at the   
   same time. Because of that, if such a program were implemented with that   
   goal, it would probably appear to be like every other political or   
   social ideology.   
      
   So, maybe sharing the concept of the "enclave" is the way to go. Not my   
   enclave or yours, but the concept.
