Thanks for the info. I promise to write it out and "post it" on the 
wall. Lars Marius Garshol ...  can't remember him even if I joined 
just a few days after the start of the Lila Squad, but you may 
have kept it going for some time before the decision to make it 
an online discussion. But who initiated it? How did you "meet" 
with the other people? 

Doug Renselle. I thought he was the Quantum "nerd" but it 
sounds as if you may have been his early mentor ;-)

I'm much impresses by your QC knowledge, but if you mean that 
"machine awareness" may emerge, it really is a new "mind from 
(brain) matter" branch, and goes against the MOQ. Pirsig says 
that mind is out of society, but I believe that the correct 
interpretation is that the notion of a mind is "out of intellect" i.e. 
not the level itself but PART of its repertoire. The MOQ is 
supposed to resolve the biggest platypus of them all - the 
mind/matter one - and only the SOL way works.  

IMO
