Hello, I believe that kindness, gentleness and a spirit of collaboration may be very productive and help our inside-seeker to overcome our little egos.
So I would suggest that the only rules for the list should be: - be polite, respectful and kind - learn to distinguish hypothesis and conjectures from theorems - if there is disagreement, try to understand others and explain yourself so others can understand you - ... And so forth, that should be easy to accomplish :-) It may happen that AGI is a very challenging goal that only people with very little or very big egos try to achieve. I find interesting to ask myself, which kind am I? If I have a big ego, then I will get bitter because of the frustration of not achieving such a big challenge. If I have a very little ego, I will be eager to understand others opinions and feel excited and like a child whenever I get their points.
