I couldn't disagree more. Gump responds to the ordeals life hands him
with perserverance, intensity, and a desire for excellence, far
exceeding the expectations one might have of his abilities. We would
all do well to emulate at least that part of his behavior.

He surely doesn't qualify as transhuman, but I nominate him for the
first transmoron.
