I have always been a racy kinda guy.  That’s hard to stop.  Are you a slow-down or a race?  John, Adrian, Ben, Mike, others please?  Racers all?  Or… what?  Both of these choices have their challenges, but the way the choice is framed is too Boolean for me.  Are there any other branches on their flow chart?

GOOD!  I totally DEFEAT non-competitive types!  I dominate every ONE of them, ANYONE who isn’t actually trying to compete.  I spank their BUTTS!

 

Competition seems hard wired into our human nature for most of us, like running faster than the other dogs is hard wired into the greyhound.  Give him another dog, any other dog of any species, the grey takes off like his slender tail is on fire, no particular reason really.  It’s just what those crazy beasts do (so very well.)    

 

>… I don't understand the need to "race" into the future…

 

Ja, I have some thoughts on that too, but I want to let the ideas solidify a bit first, and read what the others say too, regarding that AI2027 paper.

 

Mike I have more commentary on your post as well, but will hold for now.
