"He's focusing on micro-level things they did wrong, but not 
confronting the possibility that making a huge handcoded KB is just 
the wrong thing to be doing..."

@Ben Goertzel:
I totally agree, couldn't be said better. 
And I think we are all pretty sure that this approach is not the way to go, 
which makes it a bit sad story also, as there was huge effort going into 
this project.

@Jan Matusiewicz: Interesting discussion you started here, I will try to 
capture the NARS-part here as this is the project I am involved in.
Your intiution about "imagination" is in line with mine, and it is very 
important for me personally that our project captures some of its intiutive 
characteristics.
As Ed Pell said, NARS would reason about multiple scenarios that are 
suggested by different combinations of evidence from its past experience, 
but not exhaustively, but as much as its current aviable resources allow: 
("how much time do I have for my decision or answer, and to consider maybe 
only on the surface less appealing alternative scenarios?", "how much 
memory can I sacrifice to consider the relevant details of the different 
options?"):
If the system would have to make a decision that depends on different 
beliefs about outcomes of this experiment, then it would tend to consider 
its by experience highest supported beliefs, 
deciding in such a way that it will tend to strive to these outcomes that 
are most desired and most believed to be reachable.

@Noah Bliss: Nice, congratulations! I also saw the pattern mining 
demo Shujing Ke created, cool stuff!

Best regards,
Patrick
