Do we need "very reliably"? If not, feeding them Eliezer's Sequences at a young age might work well enough.

Do we need "very reliably"?

I'm inclined to think not. IMHO it's better to work on an easy plan that probably won't backfire than a very hard plan that almost certainly won't backfire given dangers outside of the planners' control...

If not, feeding them Eliezer's Sequences at a young age might work well enough.

Beware the young male rebel effect...
