This ad has been around awhile, but I think it punctures the transhumanists’ naive presumption that the post human future would be wildly individualistic and iconoclastic. I believe the opposite would be true. Just as today we are herded by social pressures and corporate advertisements into a conformist mindset—what my friend Ralph Nader calls “thinking corporate”—so too would we be pushed toward a stultifying sameness if transhumanists “seized control of human evolution.” Only rather than being literally skin deep, as is true today with cosmetics and fashion, the sheep-like sameness would be implanted deep within our biological beings. Baaaa.
