Scope insensitivity so we would care more about existential risks.
This one seems best to me.
It provides the reason for rationality, the motivation sufficient to overcome the others.
Once everyone feels like Hirou with the Sword of Good, a very great many will be driven to fix things. Akrasia would be all but eliminated for worthwhile goals, and those without worthwhile goals could never concentrate on them, and would have to pursue something better. Even better would be plagued by the constant nagging reminder of best, until all would do what their knowledge indicated was best.
Granted, what everyone thinks is best will probably have some flaws, but this strikes me as the best change.
