Yes, IHMO, this discussion is perfectly acceptable and "directly
relevant" to the Singularity listserv, but not this listserv. This
discussion is about advocating and promoting AGI through political
change, and agrees with its description: "Maintained by SIAI Director of
Outreach, Bruce Klein, the Singularity list is focused on more general
topics about accelerating technological change, advocacy and
humanitarian goals." If anybody wants to continue this discussion, then
discuss this on the Singularity list.

I also agree. Hell, if nothing else move it to the Singularity

narrow circumstances where it's directly relevant to building an AGI
or (if on the Singularity listserv) directly related to the Singularity.

I agree though there may be some room for discussing AGI dealing with
politics as a complex system. How an AGI would interact politically with
groups of people. And AGI embedded in governmental computer systems.
And AGI running for office? Gosh. Let's kill it before it happens :)
