Hi,
i'm very interested in following and joining diiscussions about 2012.

Regarding 2012 ... while this list is open to discussion of *every*
aspect of the Singularity, as list owner I would like to maintain a
focus on the Singularity in the Vinge-ean sense, meaning Singularity
as an outcome of exponentially accelerating scientific and
technological growth
I realize that there is a connection between Vingean Singularity and
Terrence McKenna-an Singularity, and that this connection has seemed
meaningful to a bunch of intelligent people.... So, I don't want to
wholly outlaw discussions of 2012-ism and related McKenna-esque issues
on this list. You never know where insights may come from.
On the other hand, I wouldn't want this sort of stuff to become a
dominant theme of the list either...
For the record, I don't personally find the McKenna-esque "Singularity
will come in 2012" notion at all credible, in spite of various
arguments I've read regarding the Mayan calendar, the Timewave theory,
etc. I have had many discussions with 2012-ites and still have the
impression that this is all a bunch of flapdoodle ;-) ... [I
understand that the machine-elvises from the 9th dimension told
McKenna that 2012 will be the magic year; but, well, let's say that I
find it a mistake to take psychedelic visions too literally....]
