Sorry I am responding to this article a bit late. I have a couple of things:

1. First about PM itself. The failure of this idea to gain traction is not
unusual. All truths seem to go through such a phase before they become
mainstream and 'self evident.' I also believe it may take some serious
global adversity to move humanity to the level of consciousness where
accelerated mind becomes broadly conceivable. Would this event be a
nuclear holocaust? I truly hope not, but our inability to learn in any but
the hard way means some hard lessons [...]41_2Nov200815:48:26-0000ndunguk@WANANCHI.COM 328 373 28_Project Mind - life-or-death14_David S. Devor13_devor@USA.NET30_Mon, 3 Nov 2008 19:14:26 +0200409_iso-8859-1 Hi Ndungu,

I was hoping that politics would not become
a focus of this exchange and said as much. I
included the essay as a way to underscore the
urgency of PM and not as an opportunity to get
sidetracked.

It would be nice if readers would consider ways
for us to "gain traction," as you put it, for PM.
That's what we need as opposed to political
polemics. [...]34_3Nov200819:14:26+0200devor@USA.NET
