A world of only perfect beings does sound pretty boring. I'm not sure if anything worthwhile would actually happen in such a place. That being said, mental (rational) tools that help one recognize the origin of anxiety and reduce its deleterious effects are quite welcome. I think this article could help programmers/founders do just that.

If you had a world of perfect human beings, then they would create imperfections to stop themselves from getting bored. I know, I would.

The desire to do that sounds like an imperfection to me...
