A comment on The crisis in physics is not only about physics. Parent comment
Making "smarter" humans (either via sperm/egg/embryo selection, and/or via brain-computer interfaces) would also help a lot.
And it doesn't look like we're anywhere close to "peak brain", after all we do a lot with just 20W and ~1.5 kg of wetware.
Whatever improvements our potential descendants make will surely look like the big-s-singularity to us.
