I’d be happy to try to do some blogging for you that weekend or something like that. Get in touch via email ahead of time and let me know what you have in mind.

Leslie –

Thanks for the offer, but I can’t quite make a trip to the east coast work that weekend. I think Stephen is similarly pressed.

But perhaps we should talk about having you there as our official Speculist / FFR correspondent?

Great conversation with Alex! His energy and insight make for a stimulating show. I had signed up early for the summit (so happy to have an event in my neck of the woods for a change!), and it sounds like it will be excellent! As part of my signup, I received a discount code that I can give to friends for 20% off whatever the current ticket price is up to–get in touch with me through Phil or Steve if you want to take advantage.

Are Mr. Lightman’s software tools intended to help create a market for these new advances so that all may partake or something different? And what does “taking everything public” mean, data transparency or the stock market model perhaps?

Looking forward to tonight’s show, this could be an important mechanism for getting there from here.

…I want to bring new tools, primarily software that helps people and their tools connect, that will enable civilization-level, historically-significant advances, into the world. …

Sounds good, count me in.
