I’m here for the most part because of my interest in the idea of singularity and the mechanical relation of creating consciousness in a non-traditionally-organic form. I can’t list here all of the books I’ve read on the subject, though I might be able to add a few to the list before I’m done, such as Piers Anthony’s Macroscope (haven’t checked the list yet).
I would not call myself an atheist, but a sub-proselytized human with autodidactic qualities. I do not deny religion off hand, because of the correlation with the development of science, but, one of my main arguments is that humans are born without religion and science may be instinctual. (Again, haven’t read everything), I think that the idea of “God” is just taking abductive reasoning to an extreme.
I see Less Wrong as a form of Peckham Experiment of which I am a participant and an observer.
That said, I can tend to be short in my posts, but I will work on that.
I hope that if I say anything extraordinary, or, seem like I am delivering a failing interpretation of another work, that I will be checked out for it. (I can hear the Yoda voice now, “You Will Be”...)

I read this paragraph twice, and I know all the words, but I still have no idea what you’re saying here. Could you elaborate on any of this, or give links to a web site that does?
I’m sorry, I cannot give one link that would explain this well.
I think the key may be with the idea of abductive reasoning, that the mind can relate multiple sensory observations and come up with a correlation (a derivative if you will) of the experiential world.
