The TV show Heroes has a new promotional tie-in site called Activating Evolution, on which the character Mohinder tells you all about evolution and the existence of radically evolved humans. What's creepy is the site's resemblance to real sites on the web made by transhumanists and other proponents of radical human enhancement and/or a new eugenics (e.g. Better Humans). I wonder if the transhumanists will start contributing to Mohinder's wiki.

Yes, that's right - be intransigent to all change. Change is bad, isn't it? Being reactionary and believing in some bucolic idyll where we all frolic about in fields chasing butterflies and living The Good Life is what we should all yearn for. That way, when most of us will die off from a lack of medicine, sanitation, protein, vaccination, clean water and the myriad other things that you Neo-Luddites want to see taken away, you can be smug in the fact that you "saved the planet".
