To upgrade society, you have to upgrade its members first.

Strictly not true, yes. I left out the nuance in favor of punch. It is true for the sort of radical change people like to talk about, change that in my opinion requires change of basic human drives. For my point, I also assume it's desirable to not take away agency.

It seems that most people function well under a wide variety of social orders. It also seems that giving up a degree of agency is not a bug but an evolved feature of the cognitive architecture of most humans. What change do you have in mind?

I should have phrased more like: "For any significant upgrade to society, you have to upgrade its members first.".. you can only get so far playing around with incentives and systems, is my point.

And that won't be enough this century. Fortunately, we'll start tinkering with ourselves, anyway. :)
