I liked your response to Joy's insularity. I am, however, wondering if there
is anyone beyond Moravec and Tipler who have had these concerns, and tried to
publish papers or essays that attempt to resolve the big "D" and I don't mean
Dallas? Seems sparse to the maximal extreme, to this mortal. Like where are
these "others"? This is not a dig, but an observation on current state of
