I think there are two problems here; (a) there are very few people trained
in the art of "logical debate" (making it difficult for logic to outweigh
emotions) -- thus "name-calling and such"; and (b) we are "thin" with respect
to the quantity of individuals who could seriously debate IA. If you had
Anders and perhaps a few of his associates who attend neuroscience meetings
and combined them with people like Aubrey, Brett and their associates who
understand the technology and throw in people like Marvin Minsky or Eliezer
who have a great depth of knowledge in AI -- *then* one might get a really
interesting debate on IA.
I don't know of a list with those aspects however.
