    Looks like the Millennial Project, to me...same kind of approach.
    "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

    John Stuart Mill

    Qerlin's right, it looks alot like the Millenium Project.

    I wouldn't particularly like having a computer decide things for me or have complete control over my daily life. Probably just me though...

    Who said that???

    Come on.. The computer knows all. And will now proceed to cancel one of your clones in punishment for such negative attitudes to the super-beneficial computer that runs all our lives.

    dis-senting Views shall be punished and hit squads dispatched to deal with such subversives.

    Thumbs down

    I read through the site and it's clearly just another internet scam, trying to sell a book and/or raise money.
