Myth Or Hyper-Human Potential?

Written by a human, for humans, always.

To unlock your potential in life...

You need to push your psychophysiology to its natural extreme.

It does not require you to become "superhuman" or "beyond human"...

It only requires you to be hyper-human...

Where we, as humans, can reach the heights of what is possible for us.

Now...

Sometimes in life, there are individuals who reach such a level of hyper-human potential...

That some people will believe that it is not possible...

That what they are hearing is simply a myth.

Yet, there is another question we should also consider...

Is what is being discussed "truly" outside of human capacity that it "must" be a myth...

Or are we so incredibly far away from hyper-human as a society that it only "appears" to be a myth compared to our current "normal"...

Which is actually hypo-human?

Or below what a human should be able to accomplish in life?

Often what seems crazy or impossible for a human is really just an individual who has actually reached a hyper-human level of something...

Which anyone could reach if they dedicated any amount of serious time to it.

Let me give you an example of something that sounds like a myth...

But upon closer investigation, may not be.

There was an Apache medicine man named Geronimo.

He was in conflict with both the Mexican and US armed forces during his days.

Now, Geronimo had a reputation for being able to escape...

So much so that some people claimed that he could outrun horses.

Now...

That sounds like a myth.

A man being able to outrun a horse?

Ridiculous.

However...

You also have to consider context.

If a human were to try to "outsprint" a horse...

They would have a very difficult time.

Even if you took the fastest recorded speed that has been run by a human of 27.8 mph (44.7 km/h)...

Achieved by Usain Bolt in a 100-meter sprint...

You would still be hard-pressed to even beat an average horse in a sprint at 20 to 30 mph (40 - 48 km/h).

If you were to make the sprint longer, say 200 meters...

Usain Bolt's fastest world record speed dropped to 22.48 mph (36.18 km/h).

This makes it seem pretty cut and dry...

Geronimo's ability to outrun a horse must be a myth.

Except...

Geronimo was not trying to outsprint a horse...

Rather, he was simply trying to "outrun" a horse...

Specifically over long distances.

Sprinting is the wrong measure of speed for us.

Instead, we should look at endurance running...

And that is where the story begins to change.

Geronimo, as is true with many different Native American peoples of that time, often trained to run great distances.

Even today, the Tarahumara, or Rarámuri, indigenous people are known to be some of the best endurance runners in the world.

What are the speeds of "average" endurance runners in humans and horses?

For horses...

The average daily distance is 25 to 50 miles (40.23 to 80.47 km).

What about for the average endurance runner?

31 to 75 miles (50 to 120.71 km) per day.

Now we begin to see where a human could actually outrun a horse.

But Geronimo and his forces would not have been classified as "average" endurance runners...

Rather, experienced ultrarunners.

What is the average distance there?

75 to over 125 miles (120.71 to over 201.17 km) in a day.

Even if you look at transcon and multi-day runners...

They can average 66 to over 72 miles (106.22 to over 115.87 km) per day over weeks.

The horses that the military were using...

Most likely were not trained for endurance...

Rather, they were trained for warfare, so their speeds would reflect closer to the average horse.

What this means...

Is that as long as Geronimo had a long enough head start...

He was always going to outrun the horse.

Then, when you combine other factors such as knowledge of the land and using that to put himself as a runner in a more advantageous terrain than the horses...

It becomes no surprise how Geronimo could evade capture...

He was a hyper-human runner...

And he was simply using his natural human potential to do what an average person who is not utilizing their human capacities cannot.

It does not make Geronimo "superhuman"...

It just makes him an example of what living hyper-human can accomplish...

And how, when you are living hypo-human, it can begin to sound like a myth.

Now, maybe your goal in life has nothing to do with running...

And that is great.

But what is important to take away from this...

Is that we, as humans, often have far greater capacities than we realize.

However...

Those capacities can only be attained when we are living into our hyper-human capacities.

Most people are not.

The average of our world today is vastly at hypo-human levels...

And...

If you begin to live into your own hyper-human capacities...

You will be able to accomplish vastly more than most people believe possible...

Not because it is impossible...

But because so few people live a hyper-human life that the results sound like a myth.
