*nobody* knows the #AI and #ML answers, but here is my proposal for research direction, per @kchonyc’s query, and per The Algebraic Mind; more consistent w @pmdomingos and @egrefen and Josh Tenenbaum etc than pure deep learning.

Common sense is incredibly rich and contains many highly improbable inferences. While one in every handful of concepts tends to be grounded in some kind of experience, the relational tapestry seems to grow like a fetid forest from multitudes of real-time inferential explorations.
Why so much emphasis on real-time? I bet my 5 and 6-year olds already have 1/3 or so of the common sense they need, eg they are quite fluent in manipulating objects, avoiding obstacles, negotiating with people. If we get machines to even that subset it would be a HUGE advance.
