I really hope your post generates much discussion in the nerd/tech/science community. I also hope this will give me the kick in the ass I need to write my own blog post about this topic.
I'm afraid it didn't get much traction, which is to be expected considering how lengthy and hard to read it was.
But I do encourage to write your own piece on the subject, at the end of the day that's the only way you can slowly bring ideas into the zeitgeist.
