Justify this assertion. It sounds like a rationalization to me.

Ordering a thousand fanatic janitors to program an optimizing compiler will bear no fruit.

Also, I see no need for a long-term taskforce, seeing as the game will soon change radically for Reasons That May Not Be Named.

There is enough uncertainty in this business to worry about planning humanity's development even 150 years ahead.

Stop equating intelligence with LW-rationality.
