>>They generally remove themselves.<<

Not so sure about that... Such individuals may seek to survive by unethical means -- especially the ones who continue to believe in determinism. One of the drawbacks to promoting belief in determinism for purposes of social control is that it also apparently inclines people to cheat and lie:

It's easy to see how belief in determinism can lead to excusing oneself for moral lapses, by claiming (in effect) "the devil made me do it."

No doubt some will collapse of their own dead weight; a few
already have; but it’s hard to imagine a scenario in
which they all will.
What cannot be destroyed can, nonetheless, be
diverted, frozen, transformed, and gradually deprived
of its substance—which is ultimately
their capacity to inspire terror. What would
this mean under contemporary conditions? It’s not
entirely clear. Perhaps apparati will gradually
be reduced to window-dressing as the substance
is pulled out of them from above and below: i.e., both
from the growth of institutions and from devolution to local
and regional forms of selfgovernance.
Perhaps government by media spectacle
will devolve into spectacle pure and simple (somewhat
along the lines that politicians would still be able to fulfill a useful social
function in the entertainment industry).
More likely it will happen in ways we cannot even anticipate.
But no doubt there are ways in which it is happening already.
As Neoliberal states move towards new forms of
feudalism, concentrating their guns increasingly
around gated communities, insurrectionary spaces
open up that we don’t even know about. Some understand
what many would-be revolutionaries do not: that there
are times when the stupidest thing one could possibly
do is raise a red or black flag and issue defiant declarations.
Sometimes the sensible thing is just to pretend
nothing has changed, allow some representatives
to keep their dignity, even show up at their
shows and make a comment now and then, but otherwise,
ignore them.

David Graeber paraphrased

intelligence is sometimes defined as problem solving.
in the perhaps rare occurrence where there are no problems, some will be invented or rediscovered, as in a reset.
It was Vonnegut who wrote about making fast runners carry weights, so far that slower runners could compete more fairly.

I don't know how successful it will be, but we might come to a future where virtual realities become 'a final solution',
those that wish or otherwise engage in harmful acts to themselves and or others will be rendered harmless via virtual realities
that will be so stunningly real they might willingly remain in 'custody'.
