Paul Downes (Downes, 2003), in his commentary on Heidegger argues that a comprehensive understanding of Ultimate transcendence cannot be resolved by any logical principle drawn from science and technology, except one of existence: the interactive one. Ultimate transcendence is an ontological (existential) foundation for the understanding of human nature, where we achieve authentic human subjectivity and understanding of ourselves; our existence is not found in a mere human ontic aspiration as its form of self-definition. Without Ultimate transcendence, we lose the pulling and unifying force that integrates us as humans, opening us to the limitless future of our existence that is not to be bound and defined by the logic of science and technology. Anthony Ichuloi (2016) postulates that to undermine the Ultimate Transcendent leads the modern subject into two possibilities: either to be totally doomed in life or to believe so much in herself, in her science and technology and feel that she is living a „superhuman‟ level of being. This is the illusion of both science and technology; it is an illusion in the sense that if there are basic human facts that are beyond the domain of science and technology.
