Similarly certain dissertations and papers that ought to have been in the chapter also had to be left out - sorry. But it will probably mean that sooner or later I have to write my own book where I have no space constraints and can delve into Ben Goerzel's cosmism or Natasha's meaning of life at the length they deserve... muhahahaha! :-)
Very nice work, Anders. Thanks for sharing a preview.  Not only are you way smart, you are a good writer as well. It's a privilege to be privy to your insight on this list.
