And your statement that I failed to adapt myself to other people's comments and that that is an adaptation failure is absurd. Every time I write a reply I am adapting to someone's comments. So I guess if your original statement still stands as is I will be pretty safe ignoring it. Andi and the two Mikes are not going to be writing any AGI programs. But you will be. We will be able to see who wasn't seeing the bigger picture next year.

Whatever feedback is accepted, becomes an adaptation (to the feedback). Whatever feedback is rejected is a failure to adapt (to the feedback). The original statement stands as is. In your case Jim, you've failed to adapt yourself to other people's comments. That's your decision. But it is an adaptation failure. You should recognize that. ~PM From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [agi] I'd Rather Talk About AGI Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2013 13:18:37 -0400 There is a difference between rejecting one particular kind of feedback and rejecting all feedback. You made an error of overgeneralization.

So there is almost no risk of discovering that your criticism of someone's speculation about AGI was really stupid. However, that does not mean that your criticisms are insightful. If a criticism does not include something about a central issue of AGI then it is not really that great a criticism. I do appreciate noting that I used the wrong word and I appreciate the suggestion that I think about presenting my ideas as if I was delivering a power point presentation to a group. But a diagram of my ideas, for example, would not help at this point. I haven't written the program or started dividing the AGI part into modules so a diagram would just add to the nonsense. There is no question that a major reason for this group is to discuss speculative ideas about AGI programs and the fact that some people are not able to appreciate or get another person's ideas them does not stand as an intellectual basis for a justification of dismissing them. On the other hand, a person who has a good criticism now and then but who is constantly badgering people who disagree with him is just drowning himself out. I always think it is a waste to see someone who has something to insightful to say once in a while but totally lacks the discretion to know how to filter the garbage.
