The great cleaving
An early Planetary Consortium commercial. http://www.nextnature.net/2010/10/the-great-cleaving/ Any other good EP-style commercials around?

Re: The great cleaving
I dunno but that one was scary! A mix of Southern U.S televangelist and singularity seeker.

One thing is for sure... he's not helping the Transhumanist movement...

Re: The great cleaving
I think he's meant to be fictional, I've never heard of Veri-Sync or Memenet89. However in that video, at the end when he said won't you come and join me, I couldn't help but think, "I'm in."

Re: The great cleaving
root@The great cleaving [hr] Damn, root got scooped. Oh well, I'll just have to work harder to make his argument with Juan interesting now that the trope is out. [EDIT] Oh dear thousand-armed-monkey god is that brilliant. For anyone who wonders if this is a fake or not, I reference you to Glenn Beck and Illuminati-fearing Rev Billy Graham, which this parodies. It does a brilliant job, and tries to make it super clear with the "episode 1" that got added, where the Dr. Alex Xross goes all kinds of batshit.

Re: The great cleaving
funny thing is, I'm writing my first article for the fanzine about a man just like him: Evan Bruce Blackmoor, founder of the Ebb Habitats, on Mars Also... doesn't he remind you a bit of John deLancie, back when he was playing Q in Star Trek TNG?

root@The great cleaving [hr] Here is a link to an interview article where the subject uses the term "hivemind" in a positive way. "One of us! One of us! One of us!"

Re: The great cleaving
root@The great cleaving [hr] Maybe that's because no one loves the hivemind! Or I forgot to add the link. Fixed it.

Re: The great cleaving
Wow that first video is creepy! Reminded me of a H.P. Lovecraft inspired ad for the Necronomicon. For EP-related commercials, I'm a fan of this little video on adverts in augmented reality. Not an ad from the future like The Great Cleaving; more the future of advertising. Probably/hopefully this has been crossposted in some thread about augmented reality.
