Those that are serious-minded and Mavellonialist, would no longer low-rate as kooky, science fiction or comic book regaling to envision a mutant race of supermen/superpeople that are endowed with godlike powers and talents. Such a race of super-people may be genetically altered enough to be regarded as a new race.
Our science likely is not far away from the day when such a mutated race exists. They, like the race of intelligent robots beings that we are creating, or a race of alternative beings (walking, talking mammals that wield magic as befits their witch, warlock and wizard natures), may be hate us or look down on us as subhuman slaves to be revolted against, enslaved, eaten like cattle or exterminated altogether as genetically undesirable.
As practicing, maverized Mavellonialists, we will have a knapsack filled with competitive coping strategies and technologies equipping us to compete with and keep pace with any of these alternative races that we created.
Whether we coexist, and even cross-breed, or not (perhaps living apart from these other races), it does not likely matter. The future is almost here, and we are only starting to prepare for it. Our preparations are woefully inadequate.
