How would you like this reading group to be different in future weeks?

No changes that I'd recommend, at all. SPECIAL NOTE: please don't interpret the drop in the number ofcomments, the last couple of weeks, as a drop in interest by forum participants. The issues of these weeks are the heart of the reason for existence of nearly all the rest of the Bostrom book, and many of the auxiliary papers and references we've seen, ultimately also have been context, for confronting and brainstorming about the issue now at hand. I myself just as one example, have a number of actual ideas that I've been working on for two weeks, but I've been trying to write them up in white paper form, because they seem a bit longish. also I've talked to a couple of people off site who are busy thinking about this as well and have much to say. Perhaps taking a one week intermission, would give some of us a chance to organize our thoughts more efficiently for postings. There is a lot of untapped incubating that is coming to a head right now among the participants' mindse and we would like a chance to say something about these issues before moving on. (("Still waters run deep" as the cliche goes.) We're at the point of greatest intellectual depth, now. I could speak for hours, were I commenting orally, and trying to be complete -- as opposed to making a skeleton of a comment that would, without context, raise more requests for clarification than be useful. I'm sure I'm not unique. Moderation is fine, though, be assured.
