BJ, I consider it part and parcel of the mission to connect with the community. In this light we need to speak in terms which can offer broad resonance. Escape velocity will only be reached by a biological solution -- therefore our efforts must focus on this effort. The signs in the media that are gaining accretion are stem cell biology and genetics. The community mindset is primed and expects a solution to emerge from these areas.

Also, escape velocity is not the exclusive domain of biology

Well, I think part of the issue here is statistics. For any one individual, either you're dead, or you're alive: that's binary.Also, escape velocity is not the exclusive domain of biology
Has a viable, nonbiological, hypothesis been proposed for achieving escape velocity?

Ultimately, we are beholden to our members.
To this end, it may be best to open this discussion to at least Full Membership.
If there are no objections, and Harold agrees, perhaps we should move this topic or derivation there...

I know that you believe this with all your heart and you have put your money and your life were your mouth is with Novamente. I dont profess expertise on AI but I do have a neuroscience background and also went through the neural network & knowledge systems phase so I am happy to debate the prospect of a singularity publicly with you or one of your staff as I have SENS with Aubrey and Michael. Perhaps I am using the wrong term -- let's call it boostrap velocity -- an intervention that is sufficient to enable the majority of today's 60 year olds to survive until the next major paradigm shift.
