Um, people, is this list really the place for fielding personal insults? For what it's worth, my two cents: I don't always see, off the bat, why Richard says something or holds a particular opinion, and as I don't see the inferential steps that he's taken to reach his conclusion, his sayings might occasionally seem like "wild speculation". However, each time that I've asked him for extra details, he has without exception delivered a prompt and often rather long explanation of what his premises are and how he's arrived at a particular conclusion. If that hasn't been enough to clarify things, I've pressed for more details, and I've always received a clear and logical response until I've finally figured out where he's coming from. I do admit that my qualifications to discuss any AGI-related subject are insignficant compared to most of this list's active posters (heck, I don't even have my undergraduate degree completed yet), and as such I might have unwittingly ignored some crucial details of what's been going on From what I've been able to judge, though, I've seen no absolutely reasons to dismiss Richard as "dogmatic", "irrational" or a "wild speculator". (At least not any more than anyone else on this list...) -- http://www.saunalahti.fi/~tspro1/ | http://xuenay.livejournal.com/ Organizations worth your time: http://www.singinst.org/ | http://www.crnano.org/ | http://lifeboat.com/ ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=101455710-f059c4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
