[...] UBI as a cause I think may rank above genetic enhancement [...]
I would counter that genetic enhancement would be the only cause that could address the root problem—the biology of suffering itself. Environmental interventions, in contrast, are ultimately limited by the “hedonic treadmill” effect (that is not to say, of course, that the worst cases like factory farming and extreme poverty should not be solved ASAP).
