How do we know what you were thinking about. As far as we know when you say "block" you may be thinking of a towel or something. So why do you make the assumption that people will understand what you are saying? It is because we are all able to think using words. Thinking carefully about things is important. Yes a combination of sensory devices would make the implementation of an AGI program better. But first someone has to figure out how to make an AGI program that actually works. And there is just no substitute for experimentation. I think that you are in more danger of wasting another year finding out that what you think you know about computer programs is not entirely accurate. Then you will forget it and start all over again. And again. Your prediction is not accurately based on what I have said, because I have repeatedly stated during the past few months that we have to accept the results of our experiments with integrity and that I was committed to spending this year testing my AGI theories. So, my stated goal is almost an exact opposite of your prediction. Seeing that you weren't even close to understanding my point of view, I have to wonder where your prognostication came from. The one thing that I am pretty sure of is that it came from you. Jim Bromer
