Am I missing something or does the first reply (by George Church) completely ignore everything the original article says?

- JetSetWilly 11y agoI don't think you are, he seems to respond with the predictable hyperbolic future-boosting expected of futurologists, "singulatarians" etc. Everything is all "exponential growth" and inevitable transformation right-around-the-corner. Except it isn't. And this ignored every point that jaron was trying to make and falls into all the traps he was trying to point out. It is an oblivious comment. I must say, I don't find most of the contributors to edge particular insightful.
- AndyMcConachie 11y agoI agree. It seems he doesn't really get it.
- natch 11y agoNot only the first reply. Going through the replies, most of them do not seem to have read. Pretty disappointed with the Edge here. It's clear that the participants are just exploiting it as a platform to put forward their own ideas.
