Feinberg: Inspiration for the viral campaign?

Having trawled through a wealth of information, I couldn't help but notice that many of the leads the community has been given (and is fishing for) has some kind of double-meaning. I believe the same is true for Project Prometheus. The literal meaning we take from that name is plucked straight from the [url=https://www.weylandindustries.com/#/timeline]Weyland timeline[/url] as a reference to a real-world NASA project. But before such a project even existed, there was also a book of the same name and its [url=http://www.sciencemag.org/content/164/3877/285.extract]original review by Joel A. Snow[/url] exposes a very familiar topic: [i]"The purpose of the Prometheus Project is to discover those ends for which man can work and strive. With the loss of our myths and the ethical system they supported, and the gain of enormous potential for altering our habitat, physical and social, our actual survival is threatened. We thus must seek long-range goals to provide a focus for our preservation and existence."[/i] Oddly enough, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Feinberg]the book's author[/url] was also an advocator of cryogenics. Not only do I wonder whether Peter Weyland was inspired from such a book but also whether the viral campaign was too. An excerpt from the last paragraph ([url=http://www.sciencemag.org/content/164/3877/286.short]second page[/url]): [i]"Feinberg's explicit program calls for the organization, first, of a series of broadcasts in the mass media, addressed to all the peoples of the world, then of small discussion groups that would debate a variety of goals; then finally the establishment of a worldwide coordinating agency that would promote various kinds of discourse until it finally could announce to the world what the long-range goals of mankind should be."[/i] Be sure to read the lot, there's another paragraph in there eerily reminiscent of the kinds of services Weyland Industries is providing.
