[1] Ein "Superbeing" aus jetzigen Menschen, trans-sapiens-Kultur: "A possible direction of future evolution is the emergence of further levels of organization realized in "superbeing/metabeings.” The precise configuration of these “beings” is still open; an aspect or totality of which may be viewed as "cybernetic immortality.” In this paper, I review aspects of memes and MST as the basis for cybernetic immortality, discuss the potential for further MetaSystem Transitions in humans and human culture (trans‐sapiens and trans‐culture)" In: Elan Moritz: Metasystem transitions, memes, and cybernetic immortality, World Futures, 45:1-4, 155-171. 1995.

[2] Die Entstehung des Superbeings ist eine Metasystem-Transition: Society can be viewed as a single super-being. Its `body' is the body of all people plus the ob jects that have been and are being made by people: clothing, dwellings, machines, books, etc. Its `physiology' is the physiology of all people plus the culture of society, which I understand in a very wide sense as a certain method of controlling the physical component of the social body and the way that people think. The emergence and development of the social body marks the beginning of a new metasystem transition". In: Valentin Turchin: A Dialogue on Metasystem Transition. The City College of New York.
