The notions of "correct descriptions" and "external reality" rather fall apart when one subjects them to careful rational scrutiny, as many philosophers of science have found... The real question to me is what is the utility of the ideas being proferred ... and IMO the jury is still out on that... I do think, however, that it would be a strategic and sociological mistake to associate AGI with UFO-related space aliens or Terrence McKenna style mushroom aliens, at this point in time ;-) ... so, I suggest we can this thread or take it to some other forum... -- Ben G ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=120640061-aded06 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
