Double-crested Cormorant: Curious to explore ways in which eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology explicitly may develop in conjunction with the World University Music School and Musical Jamming wiki subjects, Music has such a sophisticated language and set of shared understandings to build upon, but hasn't been explicitly engaged to elicit multiple and specific qualities of loving bliss neurophysiology, Remarkable creative opportunities in many, many languages to explore these multiple qualities of neural cascades of pleasure, in unfolding and unexplored ways, building on music


... am curious to explore ways in which eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology explicitly may develop in conjunction with the World University Music School and Musical Jamming wiki subjects, for example ...

Loving Bliss (eliciting this neurophysiology) ~
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Loving_Bliss_(eliciting_this_neurophysiology)

World University Music School ~
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School

Musical Jamming ~
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Musical_Jamming


Music has such a sophisticated language and set of shared understandings to build upon, but hasn't been explicitly engaged for eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology explicitly that I know of in any way ... so there's a remarkable creative opportunity in many, many languages to explore these many, many qualities of neural cascades of pleasure in unfolding and unexplored ways, building on music as we know it in today in is myriad of forms ...

Hi Scot, howzzat it took so long, to get you this I'd?all the bet,

Prana


Hi Prana,

The list of things to do is so long, and WUaS has no resources or paid team yet ... We also received some PayPal donations to do this. And this page has been up in various forms for a long time ... Will http://worlduniversityandschool.org help to bring in more resourcres? Click the Donate button and tell me what you think.

Best wishes,
Scott



Hi Scott, recd., your mail.
I have been repeatedly telling you about our ancient concept of gurudakshina.(Reward/remuneration, for the teacher)
Any project to be sustainable and long standing,, should stand on three legs,
viz., product, positioning-marketing and reward-finance. You are constructing a stoool to stand on 2 legs! How will it stand? Now you are lending your hand and holding it.
But, how long can you hold it?
Now think, instead of feeding a man with a fish, to quench is hunger, for the day,
you are teaching him to fish. After his catch, let him give you a share.what is wrong?
You can work and slog free, but how many will join you in this money crazy world?

As an accountant, taught with double entry, for a debit, there should be a credit and for every action, there is a reaction. There is nothing like free lunch, for long, in this world.
So the WU&S and you are teachers and the students, should honor you, by paying the dues and let it be not a commercial fee, but a decent, sustainable fee.

I have shared my thoughts, with you.please think about it.that is the way of life, taught for us b our parents, ancestors and sastras.they can never go wrong.

With best wishes, to you, for ever, to keep up the good work,
Prana.



Hi Prana,

Yes, and thanks and especially your highlighting the importance of product, positioning-marketing and reward-finance ...

And the WUaS Donate button is one way for ":gurudakshina.(Reward/remuneration, for the teacher)"

(... but so are the other university education social contract models, for example, of Scandinavian countries and Japan, where high quality university education is free or very low cost, where WUaS will pay the faculty - and World University and School will be different in different languages and countries).

Please invite friends in India to click the Donate button at WUaS - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/.

And please invite high achieving high school students India to avail themselves of this free MIT OCW-centric WUaS university education in English, and who may eventually click the Donate button as a form gurudakshina in the way you're talking about!

Would Shekar's son's friends like to study for free online MIT OCW undergraduate degrees, for example, beginning in 2015?

With best wishes,
Scott

Honey Bee: Nanotechnology conversation at Concordium's Village University in Concord MA this Saturday, potentially broadcast in a Google + group video Hangout, Nanotechnology, Battery Technologies, Electric and Hybrid Vehicles, MIT Professor Gang Chen's "Lecture 1: Intro to Nanotechnology, Nanoscale Transport Phenomena, New '''Nanotechnology and Safety''' subsection at WUaS



Dear S and A,


I looked once at Concordium's Village University Program - http://www.concordium.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/The-Village-University-Program.pdf - and saw many interesting presentations occurring in these days, including one on Nanotechnology, for which WUaS has a wiki subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nanotechnology - with which I could conceivably dovetail in co-presenting, for example, but the calendar wasn't functioning again when I just looked.

Might there be a possibility of me joining the unfolding concordant conversation at The Center for
American Studies at Concord, “Concordium”?

It would be wonderful to see you, contribute to Village University and perhaps even co-reach out to Concord area high achieving high school students, among many others, about universal MIT OCW-centric education planned with free degrees in large languages and all countries, and as free open wiki schools in all languages - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - and Village University.

Friendly regards, and Con-cord-e,
Scott


Dear A,

It would be great to come into conversation about some of the questions about risks, dangers, ethics and safety plans you have given considerable thought about, with what MIT OCW offers in terms of Nanotechnology courses (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nanotechnology and http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-57-nano-to-macro-transport-processes-spring-2012/video-lectures/lecture-1-intro-to-nanotechnology-nanoscale-transport-phenomena/), as well as what wiki MIT OCW-centric and World University and School might contribute to this conversation through open teaching and learning - and on Saturday. I wonder if your critiques, Andrew, might extend, in some ways, to computer science or even MIT-centric STEM developments (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/STEM_Education_-_Science,_Technologies,_Engineering_and_Mathematics#World_University_and_School_Links) in general and very broadly (which can fascinating to discuss), and whether we might come into conversation about this as well. I don't know what you both have planned so far, but as one possible addition or contribution, might we possibly have a 2-way or a 3-way conversation and even meet in a Google + group video Hangout even as we're in the same physical room together to extend the conversation into cyberspace, as well as to record it (each with a laptop on our laps). We could conceivably then, if we chose, add our recorded conversation to the WUaS Nanotechnology page to further our broad conversation to what may eventually become an online wiki Nanotechnology academic department at MIT OCW-centric WUaS. You may both already have laid out some well considered plans, but this conversation approach could also allow us to bring in questions of Concordium-Transcendentalism, if you will, for example, as well as bring in your Anthroposophical thinking, Andrew.

What have you planned so far?

Looking forward to joining you this Saturday at 4 in the ways this works out ...
http://www.concordium.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/The-Village-University-Program.pdf.

Warm regards,
Scott


Hi A,

Great and thanks for a good starting place for our conversation. I just added four references in a new subsection from the links you sent to the wiki Nanotechnology page at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nanotechnology - and which are here too:

And I added Sasidharan's to two other pages at WUaS ...

Battery Technologies: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Battery_Technologies

I'll look at MIT Professor Gang Chen's "Lecture 1: Intro to Nanotechnology, Nanoscale Transport Phenomena" - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-57-nano-to-macro-transport-processes-spring-2012/video-lectures/lecture-1-intro-to-nanotechnology-nanoscale-transport-phenomena/ - in preparation for Saturday, as well. Have you had a look at this, or do you know of his work; he's a mechanical engineer and MIT professor. I appreciate his initial tear-up-the-equation slide in the beginning of this video, perhaps focusing on the innovations related to understanding and making things, and transport-wise, at the nano-level.


And I just added his book -

Chen, Gang. 2005. Nanoscale Energy Transport and Conversion: A Parallel Treatment of Electrons, Molecules, Phonons, and Photons. Oxford University Press.

- to WUaS's Nanotechnology wiki page as well.


Dear A,

Thanks and interesting. I do appreciate an experimental approach to science, and about 5 of my Reed College Reed collective house housemates and friends in the early 1980s went into anthroposophical education in one way or another, coincidentally. (Do you know CT or AH, by any chance, from over the years?)

I also noticed that 4 out of the 6 current MIT OCW courses on the - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nanotechnology - wiki page are for undergraduates, and this one is in video - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-57-nano-to-macro-transport-processes-spring-2012/ - with Professor Gang Chen. And to be able to do nanotechnology safety experiments, for example, in a Nano course toward a free MIT OCW-centric undergraduate degree at WUaS in the room one went to high school is something I'd like to facilitate for the hopefully MIT and Stanford and Michigan graduate student instructors WUaS hopes to hire to teach to the MIT faculty in video, such as Prof. Gang Chen, and particularly in terms of safety.

The emphasis on safety and WUaS students learning, for example, how to do experiments from home about this makes much sense at WUaS. Articulating Anthroposophical experiments with MIT-centric experiments in terms of safety questions will involve some creativity in students and instructors as scientists.

Thanks,
Scott

Sandpipers: Friends Association for Higher Education - Friends Council on Education conference at Haverford College in Philadelphia, Interested in connecting and communicating further with you about Westtown and Haverford and the TriColleges and concerning Friendly-informed WUaS vis-à-vis MIT OCW-centric WUaS's planned online I.B. diplomas and university degrees, and in many languages, including first in the United Nations' (Arabic, English, French, Mandarin, Russian, Spanish), and potentially Swahili, and large languages, Admissions at WUaS, Libraries and Co-teaching courses


Dear Kay, Dave and Jonathan,

It was very nice to have met you at our recent FAHE-FCE (http://quakerfahe.com/ and http://friendscouncil.org/) conference at Haverford College in Philadelphia. Thank you for your sharing on the panel you clerked, as well.

After our FAHE-FCE conference, I was very interested in connecting and communicating further with you about Westtown and Haverford and the TriColleges and concerning Friendly-informed World University and School (especially vis-à-vis WUaS's planned online I.B. diplomas - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_and_Programme - and in many languages, including first in the United Nations' (Arabic, English, French, Mandarin, Russian, Spanish, and potentially Swahili, too) and large languages, and vis-à-vis Friends schools such the one in Ramallah, with which you've had experience).

MIT OCW-centric WUaS recently received reinstatement of our 501 (c) (3) status and got a new domain name (see below), - both of which I was very glad to share about in Quaker Meeting yesterday at San Francisco Friends Meeting; I invited fFriends to hold the new WUaS domain name - http://worlduniversityandschool.org - in the light. Unfortunately, WUaS hasn't yet become financially operational whatsoever, to speak of, thus far, but we have heard a promise of monies to come, which will help with the initial accreditation process among other things. Creative Commons' licensed World University and School would like to matriculate our first online undergraduate class - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Admissions_at_World_University_and_School#World_University_and_School_Links - in English in the autumn of 2015, with students applying this autumn, if possible.

Might it be possible, too, to co-teach a course even on "Information Technology and the Network Society," which I've taught for about 8 semesters on Harvard's (not on Harvard's faculty) virtual island in Second Life and most recently concurrently in a Google + Hangout, in the 360 program? 

In what ways might we communicate further about Friendly-informed WUaS inquiring about becoming part of the TriCo consortium of Haverford, Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr (e.g. http://www.trico.haverford.edu/cgi-bin/courseguide/cgi-bin/search.cgi) for access to online libraries (e.g. http://library.haverford.edu/) for matriculated students around the world, as well as even for sharing courses, for example, in Google group video Hangouts, and in other creative ways? In what ways might it be possible for WUaS to collaborate with other Friends schools as MIT OCW-centric C.C. WUaS grows into other languages?

Very nice to be in communication with you.

Friendly regards,
Scott

Penstemons: "Call for Chapters: Alternate Reality Games and the Cusp of Digital Gameplay," Virtual Harbin chapter?, “Naked Harbin: Harbin Hot Springs' Actual/Virtual Ethnography ~ Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture & Clothing-Optional, Virtual Harbin," Second Harbin ethnographic book? Would like to explore building a virtual Harbin Hot Springs in something like OpenSim, and experienceable/viewable in the Oculus Rift, Might this please be possible? Actual Harbin, as well as the virtual Harbin to come, as kinds of alternate reality?


Dear Anero (and Grieg at Berkeley),

Thanks for this "Call for Chapters." I enjoyed your observations here about Gaming at about the 11:30 minute mark - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwNjUnQr1Is (which I found here - http://www.theamericancrawl.com/?p=1425).

I'm writing to explore the possibility of writing a chapter for your edited volume. I've just completed writing a 400 page draft manuscript of my actual / virtual Harbin Hot Springs ethnographic book tentatively entitled something like “Naked Harbin: Harbin Hot Springs' Actual/Virtual Ethnography ~ Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture & Clothing-Optional, Virtual Harbin." My actual anthropological field site, Harbin Hot Springs, is in northern California - http://www.harbin.org/ - and, as part of my methodology for this first book, I come into conversation with Tom Boellstorff's "Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human" (Princeton 2008); I'm planning to submit a book proposal to Yale University Press after receiving photo permissions from Harbin for this first book, hopefully soon.

For my second Harbin ethnographic book, I'm planning to build a virtual Harbin Hot Springs in something like OpenSim, and experienceable/viewable in the Oculus Rift - see, for example ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2014/06/hazel-how-generative-might-we-make.html - where the building will involve creating a field site for actual / virtual anthropological comparison, and even for something that I'm calling "ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy" as a new methodology (see, for example ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy). While actual Harbin emerges out of the 1960s and is kind of 'New Age California' in ethos, in my interpretation, I think Harbin's alternative culture emerges significantly from its clothing-optional warm pool and the effects of warm waters on both visitors and Harbin residents alike. I see a kind of far-reaching relaxation response meditation emerging from this, influencing all of Harbin, and possibly since 1972 when Harbin's founder Ishvara, who still lives on property, bought Harbin and soon thereafter turned it into Heart Consciousness Church, possibly partly as a hippie tax dodge, I would hazard. In building the virtual Harbin, I'd like to explore the possibility of generating such freedoms as those, which people find on-the-ground there digitally. I'd like the building of an eventually movie-realistic interactive virtual Harbin to dovetail with a similarly emergent virtual earth.

I see actual Harbin, as well as the virtual Harbin to come, as kinds of alternate reality.

Would it be possible to explore please writing a chapter for Sections 1 or 2 or 3 of your and Grieg's edited volume? From your current thinking, which section would likely be the best fit?

Thank you.

Friendly greetings,
Scott

Warm waters: I often am in WONDER at how WELCOMING the warm waters at Harbin are, and incomparably so with other warm waters I know of, Beings Enjoying Life, Enjoyment, Happiness, Meditation, Watsu - water shiatsu wiki subjects for open teaching and learning at WUaS



I often am in WONDER at how WELCOMING the warm waters at Harbin are, and incomparably so with other warm waters I know of – in a bath, or at other 'rustic' hot springs, such as at Orr, or at Wilbur or at Sierra Hot Springs, in California, for example.

Is this partly due to Harbin's body temperature warm pool waters as well as how easily and fully one can become immersed in these, since the warm pool can encompass many people, unlike the above examples. The clothing-optionality adds a beneficial aspect to this harmonizing, as does the communality - where most of the soakers are almost always fairly serene - perhaps due to the warm waters’ relaxation response meditations, as well as to Harbin's openness to cuddling, floating one another and Watsu.


Encompassing and supportive warm waters ... where one can spend hours at a time effortlessly, where everyone around is naked and at ease and fairly serene … seem like a dream … and are all somehow very Taoist as I see it, in the oneness of it all … Harbin is a dream … bringing me and others, I think, into a kinds of zones of happiness and ease …


Is this realizable in one's bath tub, virtually, in a virtual Harbin in the Oculus Rift and OpenSim, or similar?

How about as a digital Watsu school?
