To the point about my ‘lessons’. It is what I inferred from talking to Goertzel. I still don’t see what is wrong with that. If it annoys you too much let me know and I’ll just remove that part.
It is a matter of simple correctness. Even if Ben were a messiah and those were perfectly True beliefs they just don’t follow from what you cited. You would have to learn them from something else.
Now you and other tell me those conclusions are incorrect.
No, I didn’t. In fact for the purposes of the comment you are replying to I clearly and explicitly assumed them to be true for the purposes of the argument.

What information I learnt from Ben’s answer:
There is an experimental AGI project doing research towards a postive Singularity.
An AGI researcher believes $100K are better spend with that project.
What I concluded:
There are other options to work towards a positive Singularity (experimental).
The SIAI might benefit from cooperating with them rather than competing.
Now you and other tell me those conclusions are incorrect. Can you elaborate?
