I saw three funny ones in a row. Yeah, that is disheartening about the retweets.
Minsky loved new ideas and intellectual stimulation. However, his folks either kept their distance from SoM and even AI (like Sussman or Hillis), or they were expected to not be independent thinkers.

Minsky and Chomsky were similar in this regard, and really did not get along.

Did Minsky and Chomsky ever have a public debate for posterity's sake? Or we’re left to piece it together ourselves?

Minsky said (paraphrasing) that he & Pushpinder Singh were so in sync they had a shot at building SoM, but after Singh’s sudden death, he couldn’t find a partner worth working with in that capacity. Touching, inspiring and leaves me wondering...what could have resulted?

Yes, I know. I have even seen the Lisp code that tried to mimic the spec in SoM. (But I don't think that SoM is a spec! SoM needs to emerge over something much more elementary, I think. Symbolic AI was a mistake!)
