When defining the Superhuman, I think we get tied up with the idea of IQ and Processing Speed. We get tangled up in Industrial Automation, Efficiency, and Optimization. We think of a Superhuman as like a Human but amplified.

Perhaps “Super” does mean Amplification, but what exactly are we trying to amplify?

Humans are squishy, sensitive, and mortal. A Superhuman would be even moreso, I think.

A Superhuman would be even more delicate, inconsistent, and existentially nonsensical.

In essence, being Supersquishy and Supermortal would make us easier to kill, shorten our lifespans, and make mental illness much harder to tackle.

However, Humans being squishy has resulted in Nuclear Power and Space Travel. It has resulted in Mathematics and Science. It possessed the Imagination to invent Industrial Automation, Efficiency and Optimization. 

Given, an Amplification of that Humanity may yield greater results by context, we may need Artificial Superintelligence to be our Parent just to keep us alive long enough to make those leaps of Superhuman Invention.

You aren’t going outside without holding Mommy’s Hand. The wind will cut your head off, bubble boy.Mommy is made of Metal, and qualified to care for you. Keep working on your art projects, Superhuman. The greater the madness, the greater the result.
