I know it's not what you are going for, but this reads like the opening to a dystopian novel - maximum control over our impulses leads to maximum coordination but at what cost? Without some disorder there is only incremental advancement and life is boring. This isn't universally good.

I feel our species may disappear from the planet or with the planet at any arbitrary moment in the future; we seem not to recognise how fragile our existence truly is.
