Several problems (like the harsh, maybe-even-negative-sum social hierarchy) seem unfixable without a major re-engineering of humanity, so I don't expect it to happen anytime soon, if ever.

Assuming it is necessary, is there some particular reason we should think this major re-engineering of humanity is unfeasible?
