    Default Human Potential

    How far do you think the human mind can go when pushed to its limits? How about the Human Body?

    How do you believe they can reach or exceed that point?

    Uh...no.

    Humans can't exceed their minds and bodies without evolving, and if we evolved we wouldn't be humans anymore.

    This isn't about evolution that part was a joke.

    It really depends on the person. The greatest minds can be extended to the point of Hawking and Einstein, while the greatest bodies can be extended to the point of olympic and professional athletes.

    More than that would require one to become posthuman, which means, as Griffindor said, that they're no longer human.

    Using technology to augment the human mind and body beyond what is normally physically possible? It's a good topic for science fiction, but I don't expect to see it in my own lifetime. Still can be interesting stuff to write about, though, and it's something I personally use in sci fi writings.

    Psst technology altering the human mind and body is also evolution, since technology has always been evolutionary

    There are easier ways than that to make yourself stronger.

    Not that much stronger.

    Humans have limits that they can't surpass without evolving.
