Escaping Solipsism         a paper by Doug Easterly and Matt Kenyon

" The undulating path that is the history of artificial intelligence is not unlike some snapshot within the
long and mercurial history of human intelligence: it is dotted with rapid changes, bottlenecks, tombs
of the extinct, and the unrelenting harvest of serendipitous virtues. While these two systems are massively
different in their construction, they are inextricably linked in many ways... "

PLEASE HELP WITH THE CLEANUP

Ten years ago in Hammond Louisiana, Doug and I founded S.W.A.M.P. as a way to address the effects of global corporate operations and mass media.  This was the same year that BP changed their slogan from " No Dry Holes" to  "Beyond Petroleum" effectively rebranding (or green-washing) itself as a corporation that sees past our dangerous dependence on fossil fuels. Clearly BP is as committed to furthering their oil expansion as they ever were.  The current oil spill (of 20,000 to 70,000 barrels per day) makes clear that there are serious human and environmental ramifications when it comes to drilling for oil.  There has always been a deep and abiding respect for and enjoyment of the Louisiana wetlands and wildlife.  The effects of this “spill” have been devastating to the bird and animal sanctuaries along the coast. Now is the time for us to do what BP is not doing.
