    If you want people to be less stupid or gullable, the answer is founding education programs to teach them scepticism.

    About the irrationality, I think it’s part of what makes us human, biases can be overcome with some knowledge and humility but some things about humans like doing something for no reason or just because it fells good will never dissapear.

      Humans aren’t all identical and just different due to environment. Genetics will absolutely contribute to every attribute, positive or negative, and altering the average genetics of a population will absoultely change society.
