Thanks for sharing Middle, @dabacon. It'd be interesting to share, either yourself or in collaboration, what might be considered the methods, technologies, tools, and ideas that could be focused on a Middle Way approach. Things were binary in your writing, as they feel in our quantum community today. Ideas have emerged from Brute force that impact approaches on topological (even quantum error correction techniques), and topological pursuits generate ideas which may advance brute force solutions (control and readout techniques).

With your minor celebrity wealth, what would top your list, and my list, and others' lists of formative Middle-Way ideas to bring together. Forming this may be an enlightening opportunity for new collaborations.
