tually the letters are about as good as one could expect to get from US academics, since they are a critical lot. At least, they are a far cry from Schank's ill-informed reaction ;-p .... I almost feel, upon reading the letters, that I did too good a job of making my approach seem mainstream (the propo

sal_final_version.pdf; OpenCogProposal.pdf To refresh your memory, attached find the proposal I sent you in February (which your semi- senile friend Schank hated so much ;-) and also, for your amusement, a related proposal that has recently been submitted to the Chinese government, which they are now r

I really felt you "got" the vision and importance of what I'm trying to do. It's unfortunate if you've been put off by the critiques of folks like Schank and Minsky, whose AI ideas were discredited decades ago!
