Have you posted to the OpenCog mailing list?

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not on that mailing list (though I used to be), but I sent a Ben Goertzel and another OpenCog guy a copy of the paper. The other guy said he'd read it, but that was all that I heard back. Might post it to the mailing list as well.

Do you know kanzure from ##hplusroadmap on freenode (Bryan Bishop)? He's a like-minded transhumanist hacker in the Austin area. You should meet up while you're there. He's very knowledgeable on what people are working on, and good at providing connections to help people out.

Thanks, I sent him a message. :)
