What are your ideas, that if you could implement would likely stop our species from warring so much?

I’m asking for a reasonable ones, but if not - at least make them funny :P

    I agree with genetics engineering as the answer.
    Our DNA has greed, power tripping, paranoia etc. hard coded somewhere. The correct combinations might stop all wars.
    But all in all, wouldn’t it make humanity dull and unsatisfied? I wonder.

      What if we genetically engineered ourselves to make beans taste like lasagna and kindness feel as satisfying as getting a promotion?

        I’d argue that humanity is humanity and we wouldn’t remove its complex emotions, philosophical wonders and existential dread.
        Desire for more out of life, search of meaning, etc.
        Unless we go all the way and engineer ever flowing euphoria from birth to death, for everyone. But then, what’s even the point?
