[ExI] extropy-chat Digest, Vol 159, Issue 14

[Hal Snyder]

Bill's endorsement is appreciated & reciprocated. :-)

I've been a math prof, physician, and computer scientist. Current interests
are complexity, sustainability, cosmology, bioinformatics, and data
science. MOOCs <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course>
changed my life; I've completed over 60 of them to date (listed in my
linkedin profile).

I believe that in order to avoid collapse, humanity needs to enhance scope
and extent of its cognitive skills faster than the rate of growth of
self-imposed existential threats. Computers are probably key to that. My
work with SMC is an attempt to contribute to the effort of making us
collectively smarter.

Spike, is that what you had in mind?
