One additional problem with this screed, which I feel bound to
apologize for, is a manage to mix up the views of Stephen Hawking=20
and Sir Roger Penrose.

The idea that intelligence might leap the gap from humans to=20
computers to facilitate space migration is indeed Stephen's. =20
But this idea about the difference between humint and AI is=20
from Sir Penrose -- dunno to what extent it's shared by=20
Dr. Hawking.

I do my best to sort this out in a follow-up post to the=20
manifesto. Both appear at a discussion site devoted to NCTM
Standards 2000 hosted by the Math Forum. To get there (if
curious), go to my http://www.teleport.com/~pdx4d/ncmtmemo.html
and scroll to the bottom, where you'll find a link to:
