It can be fixed with biotechnology. 1. A device that allows knowledge uploading would make most of education obsolete - everyone could know everything there is to know (which is not the same as understanding, but I don't think it's possible to teach understanding anyway, only help someone understand). 2. An equivalent of a drug gland from the Culture series would fix most mental problems, especially motivation and lack of self discipline. 3. An implantable electric powered CO2 to glucose/triglycerides converter would decrease basic survival costs by orders of magnitude, at the same time freeing lots of agricultural land for other use. With no risk of starving everybody would be much more entrepreneurial. 1 requires sf technology, but 2 and 3 is 'just' an engineering problem.
