Greg, I have incredible respect for you as a thinker, and I don’t have a particularly high opinion of the Qualia Research Institute. However, I find your comment to be unnecessarily mean: every substantive point you raise could have been made more nicely and less personal, in a way more conducive to mutual understanding and more focused on an evaluation of QRI’s research program. Even if you think that Michael was condescending or disrespectful to Abby, I don’t think he deserves to be treated like this.
