Gurdjieff and His TranshumAnts

Up until recently, I thought that Gurdjieff predicted transhumanism. After doing some simple research, I have to admit that I was probably wrong, but if you were wondering WTF I was talking about when I made a recent comment about Gurdjieff's logical deduction, here was my line or reasoning.

One element of Gurdjieff's space-opera cosmology is the ants. According to Gurdjieff, ants were an failed experiment by the Sun to create self-developing life forms. The ants chose instead to tinker "with their organs" and in doing so were reduced to what they are today -- cogs in a hive mind.
