As somebody who considers consciousness, qualia, and so on to be poorly-defined anthropomorphic mind-traps, I am not interested in any such discussions. Other people are, and I have no problem ignoring them, like I ignore a number of individual cranks and critics who post things of similarly low interest.I think a forum divided into topic areas would be better than this mailing list for many different reasons, but if you don't want to move to that setup and if you want to police the posts more actively (this list, according to agiri.org, is already supposed to be about technical aspects of particular AGI approaches), it won't bother me. I do like to see different perspectives on issues of common interest if they are of high quality. That is subjective, though. For example, I consider Matt Mahoney and Richard Loosemore to contribute very interesting material, even if I do not agree with their conclusions. Others may consider Mike Tintner and Steve Richfield to have useful things to say, when I do not.
