There are plenty of mathematicians, psychologists, philosophers, physicists et al that are listening in. Perhaps one day, one or more of these will drop the (probably math) that will achieve critical mass (AGI).

There are two periods in history that "feel" like this time to me: - prior to Einstein's theory of relativity and - the uncovering of quantum mechanics.

In both cases bits and pieces of math and science were floating in the air but no one could connect them. It took teams of people/individuals and years of arduous effort to pull it all together.

Today there are a lot more participants. Main difference seems that a lot of them seem to be capitalists!8-))
