Open minded is okay, but one also has limited resources. There are many
theory and idea floating around. As you pointed out, one pretty much
needs to be looking before they are likely to venture. I'm pretty
satisfied, not looking for deep unifying theory.
I do look at intelligence as a way to understand many of the systems
operating in the world - like the economic system. We differ in that I
am okay with capitalism as a system that works fairly well
(controversial.) We might discuss this off list.
I'm sure an AGI would like to know the grand truth so that it could
prioritize. I can operate with a limited view of what is better for the
moment. But, if the AGI can't operate before the grand truth is
discovered, it will take a bit longer ;)

I think that motivates most of us here on this list? The question is
how open-minded one is. Logic can be found in stuff that makes little
sense to you right now. An electric circuit makes perfect sense for
you and me (not the analogue one though! :P) but it does not make much
sense to a guy from the stone age because of his limited perspective.
In order to get a bigger picture understanding we will most likely
have to accept weird logical stuff.
Eckhart Tolle has nothing to do with Campbell and his theory but he
writes EXACTLY the same thing. So do hundreds of other people without
knowing anything about each other.
See http://puu.sh/cu5pi/6a48f3f64d.png for example ... (taken from
page 175 in this PDF ...
http://res.allpdftools.com/allpdftools/pdf-download-resources/A_New_Earth.pdf
... copy & paste do not work as the PDF is broken.)
It's just nice to have a scientific/logical framework which lets you
understand all the stuff people like Tolle are writing.
I guess that's enough metaphysics for this year ... my point was just
that AGI will most likely be aware of all of this and act accordingly
and most of our expectations and extrapolations might turn out to be
the product of a very naive/narrow perspective. ;-)
