That's the question in the post basically. Could the system fall apart when enough people in power are cured of these traits.

It's not really a biohacking suggestion rather than say you go to a doctor, they test your blood/DNA whatever, and run it through an diagnostic AI that tells you your levels of everything, predispositions, potential precursors, and current illnesses. It then creates a custom tailored medical regime to cure, and prevent.

I honestly don't see how that won't be a thing soon, it's logical, no?

I'm not sure how far fetched it is for AI to help figure out the cause of mental illnesses and how to treat them. People would just take the medication because it would cure everything you have.

THX 1138 (film) somehow springs to mind here. Must regulate those competitive emotional excesses!

Testing for empathy and selflessness would be interesting. In general we could have much higher standards for out representatives.

The issue now is that nothing will be implimented to change the status quo without mass upheaval and revolution.

I think it's more about trying to ensure the right kind of system is implimented after the inevitable collapse of our current one.

I agree. My post is just optimism for the process in which that could have a possibility of happening. Hopefully we don't focus so much on fearing AI alignment that we forget to fear each other. Both are equally important, for the majority of society anyway.
