Moving things here because the Reddit admins have steered Reddit into the sewer. https://github.com/MaximilianKohler/Archive/wiki/Reddit
I will update with more links soon.

Idiocracy: a disturbingly prophetic look at the future of America – and our era of stupidity
We've already depleted the oceans of fish, replaced them with plastic, oil, heavy metals and other industrial pollution. We're doing tremendous damage to nature, such as causing massive deforestation, killing coral reefs, and more. Causing the extinction of a huge variety of animal species. Climate change threatening both our survival and the survival of huge portion of animals and habitats on our planet. Extreme animal suffering due to horrendous factory farming conditions and habitat destruction. And causing a huge amount of human suffering, much of which comes from the rises in chronic disease and poor health, both of which have been increasing drastically in recent decades. The vast majority of people now are nowhere near healthy enough to be ethically using their bodies to create other people.
Copied from a recent discussion.
It would generally be based off of this: https://medium.com/@MaximilianKohler/a-critical-look-at-the-current-and-longstanding-ethos-of-childbearing-the-repercussions-its-been-6e37f7f7b13f and https://maximiliankohler.medium.com/eugenics-past-present-and-future-74d0ea5998b4
Increasing the health and well-being of ourselves and our planet to the point where we're at a sustainable equilibrium, and where the vast majority of the population is made up of only healthy high-functioning individuals. Reversing our Idiocracy and implementing steps to prevent it in the future. Increasing longevity to the point of an indefinite lifespan, and working toward the type of society described in Manna https://marshallbrain.com/manna, where we no longer have "mandatory work for a living", but do as we want, with most of the undesirable activities automated by machines. I am then interested in shaping our own biology to vastly increase our intelligence. Exploration of our universe will come shortly after.
I'm also reminded of Jacque Fresco and the Venus Project, who I've been a big fan of for a long time.
In my opinion the only way to fix things is by making people smarter. It's doable via a variety of biological and societal interventions.
The problem again is that it's low functioning (dumb) people preventing us from implementing these fixes. Possibly if enough intelligent people understand and agree on these fixes and be vocal enough about implementing them we could get it done. https://web.archive.org/web/20200602203523/https://old.reddit.com/r/collapse/comments/dhsvud/there_was_a_recent_post_ranting_that_collapse_is/
