I would modify the human brain to reduce tribalism and increase empathy.
This precisely. Maybe "us vs them" was useful when we lived in caves and resources were limited, but now, we should theoretically have enough food and housing that everyone could be comfortable.
But, Eisenhower's "military industrial complex" has bogarted all the resources, and emphasized tribalism by saying it's really "their" fault, where "they" are anyone not like "us". When we're all struggling together.
