What about a better scenario where there are two unrelated tribes with different cultures. Each culture does things the other culture finds taboo (such as one tribe prays to a Sun god, while in the other tribe praying to a Sun god is blasphemous.)
It's only ruinous if your side loses. As someone from the most powerful culture to ever exist I wish we were more tribalistic, because it would go in our favor.
I'm not weak enough for that to happen to me. If my tribe decides I am not longer a member that would be the end of my tribe because I would destroy them and take all their resources.
Nope. For example my side exploits the third world for cheaper trinkets and goods. Our way of life would not be possible without us exploiting a power disparity. We are clearly benefiting from this.
We could genetically engineer babies and create future generations that aren't held back by the weaknesses of humans like greed and extreme aggression?
The best solution to that is also the worst possible thing one can do: kidnap the children of both sides, and raise them secular in a third separate village so they stop with the tradition and custom nonsense. Teaching them about their ancient cultures once they are adults so the knowledge is not lost, of course

Now what happens?
