Starting over wouldn't have any benefits unless humans would somehow have a completely changed consciousness. Otherwise the same egocentric views would dominate and competition would make sure that we get the same world again.

Humans are not capable of prioritizing "what do we as a species want to accomplish this year". Should we look at world production and make sure nobody goes hungry, for example. Nope, can't do it, because we have countries and money, making sure we can't just cooperate and make it happen.

Most of the richest 1% would come from few different countries, so there would probably be less cultural differences at least. I could imagine the world being divided into one country per continent or something. People living very far from each other would accelerate digitalisation of governance.

Cutting emissions by about 95% could also help with climate change. Also people could just move away from highly affected regions.

I think humanity might just be better off. That said, I dont think this is limited to the richest 1%, most distributions of 1% of the population would do.
