Building an artificial general intelligence, like any other difficult project, can only be successfully completed under the right environmental conditions. In order to make substantial progress on the problem of AGI, we will need to ensure that the interests of the AGI research community favor the production of a complete, working theory of general intelligence, and simultaneously avoid the various pitfalls of large research projects which have plagued other fields over the past two thousand years.
