Linnea: WUaS plans to create its own Media Lab at WUaS, building on MIT's creativity but planned today in 8k Langs from home, Looks like the MIT Media Lab isn't heading in a multi-lingual direction too, even though MIT OCW is in 7 languages, WUaS has a non-violent river in it, in a way perhaps MIT doesn't, Re the Pittsburgh Symphony's financial chaos and strike, I hope WUaS on the for-profit side can establish a sound financial footing for the long term, - a very steady 11% a year before inflation would be really really great, so 8% per year after inflation, and which isn't easy for companies or mutual funds to do, let alone plan for, say, over 100 years, {Hope WUaS can create great online symphonies too, with all of us playing in them and learning from our homes}, Enjoyed live "The Inauguration of Stanford University’s Eleventh President Marc Tessier-Lavigne," Enjoying too this "A Conversation with Stanford President John Hennessy" July 14, 2016 - How Hennessy made Stanford one of the greatest universities in the US

Hi M,

Thanks so much for your (longish) email and sympathy re my MIT Media Lab faculty application. Except for the lack of salary money soon-ish (Aug 2017?), not getting the position may open positive far-reaching opportunities re multi-lingual media creativity with WUaS   Glad MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito posted this to Twitter in Japanese about nonviolence and civil disobedience soon after I received MIT's email - https://twitter.com/Joi/status/789164125523968000. Looks like the MIT Media Lab isn't heading in a multi-lingual direction too, even though MIT OCW is in 7 languages. WUaS has a non-violent river in it, in a way perhaps MIT doesn't. 

Re the Pittsburgh Symphony's financial chaos and strike, I hope WUaS on the for-profit side can establish a sound financial footing for the long term, - a very steady 11% a year before inflation would be really really great, so 8% per year after inflation, slightly more than the US stock market's average since the '30s and which isn't easy for companies or mutual funds to do, let alone plan for, say, over 100 years, let alone 300 years. 

{Hope WUaS can create great online symphonies too, with all of us playing in them and learning from our homes}.

A Conversation with Stanford President John Hennessy

July 14, 2016
John Hennessy discusses his tenure as president of Stanford University and how he helped make it into an elite school: encouraging technological innovation on campus, working on ideas that push humankind forward and maintain academic excellence, and having one of the best athletic programs in the country. Hennessy notes that one key to Stanford’s success is building quality infrastructure around interdisciplinary themes in a cross-disciplinary space, making it possible to fire up smart people and challenge them with colleagues from varied backgrounds to develop innovative ideas and solutions to some of the world’s most complex problems.
