    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.
