JAKARTA - Humans are on the verge of being replaced by a superhuman hybrid race with abilities that have only been in science fiction films.
Herbert Sim, a billionaire billionaire technology and futurist investor from London, began investing his wealth in transhumanism studies, namely improving human abilities through science and technology.
Sim told DailyMail.com that within the next five years, this new mutant human race could already run among ordinary people.
At that point, ordinary humans will become obsolete because this real version of X-Men has abilities that far exceed ordinary humans.
The technology company Sim, Neurochip.com, is developing a technology that allows brain enhancement using a brain wave reader helmet. This brain wave translates into a computer to change the mind into action.
Sim said this was the first step in "upgrading" humanity, allowing this new mutant race to live longer and beat disease.
"Transhumanism can help prolong life for up to 500 years and imagine what we can achieve after that," Sim said.
Despite sounds like science fiction, human-animal hybrid mutants have been created in Japan. In 2019, the Japanese Ministry allowed the creation of animal embryos with human cells carried to birth by substitute animals. The goal is to grow a compatible pancreas for organ transplantation.
Sim emphasized that this technology aims to help humans beyond biological limitations and live longer.
He also compared the appearance of rare mutants in today's world to ancient legends about dragons, which are believed to be many cultures in the world.
But Sim warned that these mutants would not become extinct like dragons, but would increase in number and take over the dominant role in society.
"Because of this new race that is very superior, they will be better than humans in everything," Sim said. The remaining humans will find it difficult to contribute effectively and this is where humans become obsolete.

Although human ideas with super powers have long been fictional, real developments in genetic engineering and brain technology have begun to emerge.
For example, MIT and Harvard researchers have developed a CRISPR method that allows DNA insertion with high precision, has the potential to improve genetic diseases and prolong life.
In addition, brain chip technology developed by several companies allows people to control devices only with thoughts "similar to the transhuman helmet technology developed by Neurochip.com.
Sim believes this technology is not a threat, but a savior of mankind. "Technology and science are here to empower humans, just like drugs and cell phones that make our lives better," concluded Sim.
