Addressing the question in the headline: CRISPR readily available for human usage -> designer babies -> genius level IQ and stunning beauty as the new average with fewer variance -> more trust and social cohesion
Regarding your bridge to climate change: You need exactly zero social cohesion to fix climate change. Just set the correct monetary incentives. Implement global CO2 emission rights, to align the most eco-friendly solution with the most cost-effective.
- giantg2 5y ago"stunning beauty as the new average with fewer variance" I don't know about that. Beauty varies greatly based on the the preferences of individuals. Sure there are general trends at a societal level, but even that changes over time (short term: dad bod, longterm: fat vs skinny). The reduction in variation can even lead people to seek mates with traits that do vary from the average (ie peacocking).
