Hacking the Genetic Mind

I really think we need something visual. It can't just work in English, so figurative speech must be so symbolic in its nature that the image is present and stand above the language.

Bad example:
Re member the Future.
Re souvenir l'avenir. (gramatticaly wrong, I think; the reconstruction part is missing)
Erinnere dich an die Zukunft (remember here isn't even a word that allows to separate re and member)
Minner deg på framtid. (same as before)

If this happens already in Europe, I have no idea how such a phrase would survive internationally.
