Matt Oristano points us to a remarkable report that would read better as a premise for a cheesy scifi movie than as a serious statement from the National Science Foundation and Commerce Department. It’s called Converging Technologies for Improving Human Performance. Says Matt:

It includes lots of helpful government recommendations for enhancing our brains with nanotechnology, according to standards that presumably the government would set. It’s quite amazing.

He especially commends to our attention a section on “memetic engineering” “where they propose to engineer our culture in a Darwinian mold as well.”
