Solving the problem of how to use natural language
would (very probably) be equivalent to solving the problem of AGI.

I agree with you -- but I would point out that language is a very concrete thing and gives us something to experiment upon, work with, and be guided by on the road to AGI.

It seems as if our focus is on discovery systems and rebuilding everything from the ground (links-and-nodes) up. I think that we're missing out on *A lot* with this approach.

Yes, it's ordinary human language -- whether written or spoken; English or
Spanish or Chinese or whatever . . . . .

I was tempted to include that in my statement, but decided against for
brevity... the thing is, we have the language, but we don't know what
to do with it. Solving the problem of how to use natural language
would (very probably) be equivalent to solving the problem of AGI.
