Wow, you overestimate my education and maybe intelligence here. I have no formal education except primary school. I haven't taken a rhetoric course or something.

"Rhetorical question" is just the name. Asking questions to try convince people rather than telling them outright is something most people pick up by the time they are 8.

I honestly believe that what I have stated would be the opinion of a lot of educated people outside of this community if they came across the arguments on this site and by the SIAI

I think this is true.

. That is

This isn't. That is, the 'that is' doesn't doesn't fit. What educated people will think really isn't determined by things like the below. (People are stupid, the world is mad, etc)

data and empirical criticism are missing given the extensive use of the idea that is AI going FOOM to justify all kinds of further argumentation.

I agree with this. Well, not the 'empirical' part (that's hard to do without destroying the universe.)
