Mike Makes Friends

I still wistfully remember the years before MA became an official Reactionary when he would sputter and fume at me for calling him a reactionary.

It's worth keeping in mind that his sputtering and fuming in comment
threads on this blog, back in the day, was not purely a personal
engagement, but was also a strategic response entailed by
his job as public relations director of the (erstwhile)
"Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence" (since
relabelled, now that the "Singularity" brand has been ceded
to Ray Kurzweil and the founders of Singularity University, as
the bland and somewhat misleading "Machine Intelligence
Research Institute").
