The phone number in the info leads to a female voice recording answering as the next step in human evolution, and asks for your name and contact details.
It's an Australian number which ties in with the info from the site, and I guess it's pretty early in the morning there, and kinda out of office hours atm. The same number is present on the Media register page and does state it's a 24hr number so prolly a round the clock answer service...

This is odd. The man in the video is odd. Did a WHOIS search for the domain which showed nothing, page source showed nothing, trademark search on the phrases used brought up actual trademarks:

http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4002:ob5c.3.1
Google Mapping their registered address shows a hotel in Australia.
Any guys with ARG specific email addresses happy to submit their contact details in the form?
How'd you find this?

An established user (2004) from another forum I frequent posted the link asking what it was. I guess there's always a very slim chance he's related to it somehow, but I really doubt it. I haven't seen any other references to it on google or social networks so I'm assuming it's very new.

I think this is the building that the address points to. It's an apartment block, not an office block so this has to be someone's pet project.

Where did you find that fubarz? It's slightly different to the addresses we have found so far on the site and WHOIS.
Also, if you look at my earlier post, Google Maps Street View has a clear view of this address. It's a hotel/apartment block to which the apartment block has an odd looking website.

My guess is that the man has moved his office or updated his website's registration address. Google search summary displays this:

whois.domaintools.com/nextstepinhumanevolution.com
but clicking on the link gives only the current address of The Tower 2901
Also, DNSstuff says the registration was Updated 08-oct-2009, so no big deal.
p.s., I see no game here. This man either sincerely thinks he has a service worth charging one million dollars for, or he knows it is a scam, and owned the concept since 2005. This is not an ARG .
p.p.s., The fact that his website is registered to an address in an apartment complex is not in itself suspicious.

Huh. Methinks I'll follow this, if only because I'm a firm transhumanist and would cut in line to be first for something like this.
