Bioengineering might lead to humans who are much less similar to each other.
Yeah. The problem I see with that is that if humans grow too far apart, we will thwart each other's values or not value each other. Difficult potential balance to maintain, though that doesn't necessarily mean it should be rejected as an option.
Bioengineering makes CEV a lot harder.
And any number of bioengineering, societal/cultural shifts, and transporation and wealth improvements could help increase our effective Dunbar's number.
That's something I've wondered about, and also what you could accomplish by having an organization of people with unusually high Dunbar's numbers.
Or a breeding population selecting for higher Dunbar's numbers.
Or does that qualify as bioengineering?
I suppose it should count as bioengineering for purposes of this discussion.
