Every child born has a flat increase of 0.0005% higher IQ, and is also 0.0003% more altruistic.
I really should have done the math ahead of time. That'd mean an increase of like 70k IQ per year.

Abolish politics from social media
Abolish social media, period.
Inherent self interest disappears. People work for the greater good.
Psychologically that would be a desaster. People would wear themselves out in an instant, and in 6 months top we'd have a world population suffering from clinical depression.
