      If you could morally enhance one thing about the human race, which quality/ability of ours should be augmented?

          I've often wondered about this, and maybe you will know: is there any data on more intelligent people being more moral?

          Yes. Smarter people commit far fewer violent crimes, for example.

          How about non-violent interpersonal conduct - work, love, friendship.

          I would prefer compassionate and wise individuals over optimal paperclip maximizers any day of the week
