Good one according to which criteria? CEV<humankind> is perfect according to humankind's criteria if humankind were more intelligent and more sane than it currently is.

Good one according to which criteria?

Mine. (This is tautological.) Anything else that is kind of similar to mine would be acceptable.

CEV<humankind> is perfect according to humankind's criteria if humankind were more intelligent and more sane than it currently is.

Which is fine if 'sane' is defined as 'more like what I would consider 'sane'. But that's because sane has all sorts of loaded connotations with respect to actual preferences - and "humanity's" may very well not qualify as not-insane.
