A philospher once told me that the best that a young philosopher could hope for would be to gently move the field in the right direction. After a period of scepticism, with the help of Rodrigo and others, I came to believe that this emerging technology is an advance that will take us from the nineteenth century, once and for all. The efforts of people like Rodrigo will push philosophy in a more democratic direction. And this is much to be desired.
Some satisfaction is to be taken in being part of great changes at their inception.
