+Jim's housemate is an editor - Nora
+ Deference Humility and Awe talk to be transcribed?
+
+What are we aiming at?
+ A short more accessible book, oriented towards a public audience?
+ 
+Interesting properties of the DFA talk:
+ Skeleton?
+ Talk is drenched with insightful remarks and allusions
+
+HST: aim to a) Convince people of certain propositions
+            b) Excite people about the possibility of a new way to
+               approach our understanding of [r-s]
+
+BCS: Contemporary ... taking on subject matters that have classically
+     been considered from [r-s]
+
+    These accounts do not do justice to such topics
+     E.g. reducing truth to syntactic consistency
+
+    Because they fail to take account of embodiment, indexicality,
+    non-effectiveness
+
+    How to conclude:
+     They none-the-less have something to contribute
+     They are at best a waste of time, as omitting [ein-e] renders
+     them useless
+
+CR sub-title -- something like "Exploring the foundations of computing"
+                 or, bolder, "New foundations for computing"
+
+Elevator pitch(es) for CR:
+
+  The appropriation of concepts and vocabulary from philosophy of mind
+  and of language by computer science not only misuses them, that
+  _mis_appropriation actually undermines the adequacy of the resulting
+  account. [HST]
+
+  If one recognises the central, indeed essential, role of
+  non-effective relations, one not only hews closer to the usages of
+  philosphy, it does a better job of explaining.  But the centraiity
+  it gives to non-effective relations violates long-standing canons of
+  what it is to be scientific.
