Not to be a pessimist not to discard anyone’s work, that’s not the goal but reflection in what’s going on.
I was trying to go over how to deaugment myself in pros of analysing something they did at SRI back in the day when the Augmentation Research group was operating in there and the veredict was more or less to just go with any day and do your usual stuff. You’re already de-augmented.
I’m not the only one sharing this view though in some sense or another
The good part is, we have all the raw materials, and good ideas to make it better and not much stopping us from doing it.
