Superhuman Alternative

Tom Ball

    Magnus Magna came up with a new type of human, one that was truly peaceful no matter what. And ate stem cell meat and wouldn’t hurt a fly.
    Magna said, “His new breed of human could breed with other new breeds of the same type, making Superhumans.”
    He said, “It was an alternative to super intellects who were greedy and ambitious.”
    And he singled me out as “One of those evil scientists who were developing ultra-clever humans.” He said, “I was like Hitler.” I said, “Clever humans are on the whole peaceful and we have carefully engineered them to be violent if absolutely necessary to protect common human values. Like peace. And he was impractical, and irresponsible.”
    But finally, he took my case to the Supreme Court. But during the trial I had the spies get into Magna’s head and cause him to drop the case. It was all neat and clean.
    And sure enough, my Superhumans took control of humanity and forced everyone to get brain surgery to improve their minds.
    They dragged the populace kicking and screaming into the future.
