Actually I have my sights set on the universe but the world will do for
starters:-)

Not allot, but if it seems that you are the best person to do something
then I might ask you.
Have you any ideas about the next stage or stages, in the mid to

Yes, but mostly it involves moving on to a better web site, getting a
more sophisticated list server, finding ways to archive posts and so on.
I'd rather not clog up the mailing list with stuff like that, hence the
need for a separate steering committee.
I think a while back you mentioned

Actually I said that if you wanted the MoQ to be taken seriously by
academics then it would have to be presented in an academic way. ie in
essays published in academic journals. But I think that's self-evident.

Sure, good idea. Philosophy is (or at least it ought to be) the
discipline that unites all other disciplines. Physics is as good a place
to start as any.
