P.S. The "fear of creativity" - the recognized fear that accompanies all intellectual creative work - from writing an essay or novel, to writing a program, or new scientific theory- is the "fear of the blank page"

You may indeed go on forever. Look at Ben, Boris and every other AGI systembuilder - they obviously have no halting criteria, and may go on for the rest of their lives. In different ways we may all be in the same boat. . P.S.AGI's will need to be afraid too. See Damasio's Elliott for a demonstration of what happens when a real world reasoner has both no halting criteria and no fear. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-c97d2393 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-2484a968 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
