Not to mention optimism and positive memes. Have you noted the quite
transhuman ads for big corporations on CNN and Discovery? Slogans like
"Let's make things better", celebrations of technology and human
ingenuity (often done in a very characteristic surreal style), and my
favorite:

We move because we hate the idea of standing still.
We create because we want something new in our life.
We take the next step because we want to rise above.
This is our mission, this is our passion.
