I'm always aware of how young he is. And then to have
laid claim to such a huge challenge. It's a classic
case of the brashness of youth. A man's reach should
exceed his grasp. And I commend him for it.
Extropians seek to enhance their reach.
Thirty years may mellow him, or bring on the
singularity,... or not (Marvin Minsky doesn't seem to
have mellowed). Either way, while we play our part in
the adventure, he'll play his, and hopefully, "a
splendid time is guaranteed for all."
Best, Jeff Davis
