transhuman

Turning fallible human foot soldiers into transhuman machines who need neither sleep nor food, and are incapable of resistance and independent thought, is a Napoleonic dream .

I believe that this is important, because taken in isolation the kind of enhancements portrayed by transhuman philosophers might seem relatively innocuous.

This "other world" is transcendent because the experience of the sacred—an encounter with a reality transcending immanent life—gives birth to the idea that there are absolute, that is, transhuman, realities.
