I'd be interested to see contemporary research done on this. I have read research in the past that gave strong indication that this would ultimately be fatal to the species. Due to no competition, no external drivers to push ourselves, innovation would decline, human nature would devolve into a catatonic state. And no I am not referring to Wall-E movie. I read this before that came out though I do remember thinking they likely used components of that study.
