#7Ok so what is this publication? Because apparently they’ve been around since the 90s. I’ve never heard of them though. Their title and its reference suggests a very strong philosophical stance about something and I imagine that because of that they have political leanings, but I can’t tell what their leanings are

#8Read "brainmakers", even though it completely ignores Europe's and the East's significant contributions to AI history https://www.newquistbooks.com/brainmakers/brainmakers.html

In 20 years, Kurzweil will write another book entitled, "The Singularity is Almost Here".

The Hedgehog Review? Yes, they've been around since 1999, and publish a few times a year. But I'm not sure where you're leaping to a strong political leaning. They're an academic journal published by the University of Virginia. I don't religiously follow them, but I've been cursorily aware of them for a while. I don't think I've ever considered them to lean one way or another when reading their publications.
