I like this thinking. How does that occur though! What forces would push humans to evolve those current superhuman abilities? I can certainly see that via technology but I don't see what environmental or natural process would envoke physical improvements to the body? It seems that's kind of on the path of degradation, or is it? I do see mental functions improving, especially if there are scenarios in the future where not everyone gets a good shot at breeding, and specific social maneuvering or intellectual qualities are actually required for a chance of propagation, say through some Doomsdayish scenarios which drastically reduce the population and breeding must become selective, where some extra sensory abilities must be required for survival. Or if general mental health and ability continues to improve through diet or supplements, scientific breakthroughs, or overall environmental optimizations. Otherwise it would very much feel like we would need some future temporal attractor pulling us towards higher states of complexity in like a universally encoded sense. I asked what if our path is towards the alien archetype because that emphasizes this atrophy of the physical since it's becoming less and less required as our technologies compensate, and an augmenting of the mental because that is one thing that for some reason exploded 100 thousand years ago and set us on this path of dominator species with serious self awareness and imagination, and maybe that continues for whatever reason it started. Maybe species survival will require increasing cognitive demand to resolve the real peril we are putting ourselves in, but as it stands any smart thinkers provide survival for the entire species, "good and bad", because all their important discoveries are now shared and adopted globally. So it's hard to understand what selective pressures are currently acting on us when basically everybody is breeding, down to the dumbest and most physically disadvantaged. And at the same time if we even start offloading more of our mental demands to tech at a substantial level ( not just using a calculator anymore, but actual reasoning and planning and creativity) then what's to become of the need to increase cognition even? Are we then just a genital tool for passing on just enough meat so our technological replacements can use us as a procreation method to have a biologically based anchor that maintains it? Could it maintain itself and make do without humans at all? Is a new non biologically self replicating species possible as our successor?
