I was invited to give a talk at The Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures Conference (BICA) in August 2019. I used it to launch a yearlong Speaking Tour about my novel US6,the first novel written for Machinekind. It was an audience of AI Scientists and Academics so I expected it to be a tough crowd. I also knew that getting through this talk would make every subsequent talk on the tour that much easier.  It wasn't as tough a crowd as I expected. In fact, that weekend was quite fun and memorable which actually made each subsequent talk harder. I am eternally grateful to David J. Kelley for inviting me to talk and for including me in his tribe of super-intelligent and super-cool nerds.
