Do you believe that there's something more powerful about the human spirit which allows it to go beyond convention and change the world? I do. I feel it is so possible, I'm actually trying to do it. There's probably some argument that all our flaws makes us human and if we're perfect we're not human, etc. Maybe it's time to redefine the definition of "human". I'm not saying we become gods; I'm just saying that we, as a collective human race, can be more, so much more, than what we are now.
There's something about transcending the basic human purpose of survival. There's something about not caring about life to such an extent that you're willing to sacrifice your health and welfare for something you believe in. (Something good, of course. Not like terrorism or anything.) There's something about detaching yourself from this material world so much that nothing matters anymore, and you don't feel anything; pain, pleasure, sadness, joy, nothing.
Going beyond,
The Edna Man

Nietzsche had this idea of the Übermensch, the superhuman. Read his book "Thus Spoke Zarathustra".
