Becoming a Superhuman

 I, Hank, said to Louise, “Every day the Earth becomes more decadent. She said, “We are getting near the end of homo sapiens and Superhumans now dominate Space and soon will take over Earth and change us all into Superhumans too!” I said, “I can’t imagine it!” She said, “I think the future is written in stone.” I said, “Now that we’ve created, Superhumans, there’s no way we can get rid of them. What were scientists thinking?” She said, “Anything that humanity can imagine, will come true one day, sooner or later. Now Superhumans are populating Space by teleporting with a bevy of survival and building equipment, like builder robots.” What next?” I said, “The Superhumans will likely replace androids, holograms, Supercomputers and of course humans as well. I just hope our descendants are good people who do things we would be proud of.” She said, “Well there’s no war in Space and Superhumans seem peaceful and occasionally even love mere humans, which is a good sign for the future. And hopefully Superhumans will not have great faults.” I said, “Nobody is perfect. And there is a saying that, ‘Only great people have great faults.”’ She said, “If you can’t beat them, join them! Why don’t you and I become Superhumans?” I said, “From what I’ve heard, it’s a complex process. One first needs to take brain apps and remain sane. Then one must apply to the College of Superhumans on Mars. Here they will increase your memory and give you all knowledge in a process which takes years. Then if you are still sane and happy, your brain will be altered through genetic therapy, and one would then be on probation for six months and then one would finally be a bona fide Superhuman.” She said, “It would be much easier to just be born a Superhuman in the lab. Maybe we should just give birth to Superbeings who take after us, rather than going through the rigorous process of becoming Superhuman.” I said, “They should streamline the process, but I guess they want to be sure of you all the way to having a Super brain.”
