Damson: Blockchain ledger open course ware from 'Legal Hackers"? And re an Universal Basic Income for all 7.5 billion people?, Stanford Law's Tony Lai - "Re the currency Q you ask, I see this tied to public policy on privacy / self sovereign identity and data justice/governance in the big picture and the underlying synecdoche of money as a bundle of naming rights," Stanford-Duke Medicine symposium 11/29-30 & re World University and School's planned online medical schools with online teaching hospitals & especially with Google's Projects Baseline as well as Project ECHO


Thanks - very grateful, Tony. 

Greetings Jameson. Looking to developing a lot of course ware, and eventually online law faculty positions, in all ~200 countries' official / main languages.

It would be interesting to bring you, Tony, and MIT Digital Currency Initiative Director Neha Narula into conversation. 

Here's a fascinating interview with Neha Narula, director of the MIT Digital Currency Initiative - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/09/sequoia-sempervirens-cones-stanford-law.html - and who may be involved in thinking through a single cryptocurrency (with blockchain ledger) backed by ~200 central banks.

As World University and School begins to code our wiki for matriculated students in all ~200 countries' official languages, and for wiki-learners and teachers in all 7,097 living languages, WUaS would like to explore further coding for an Universal Basic Income for all 8 billion people on earth (taxable so nation states would benefit with new revenue streams - potentially with the block chain too), and as a way to distribute a single cryptocurrency backed by most of ~200 nation states' banks (post Euro in ~19 out of 28 nation states, and backed by these central banks). WUaS would like to do this too as an assistive technology, defining assistive technologies anew - and potentially working with Intuit TurboTax re their approach to assistive technologies (and Ted Drake at Intuit). Fortunately, the Euro has a ~20 history as a regional currency which lessons' learned could positively benefit the development a single cryptocurrency backed by 200 countries' banks - since this would be an enormous change in the world's finances. Hopefully World Univ & Sch's planned Law Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School (see below too) - and WUaS's planned Computer Science Departments - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Computer_Science (emerging from CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/) in each of all ~200 countries' online will be able to help facilitate such a ginormous undertaking - and potentially emerging from Stanford as well (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/northern-spotted-owl-comparing-stem.html).

The issues you raise in your email note, Tony - "public policy on privacy / self sovereign identity and data justice/governance in the big picture and the underlying synecdoche of money as a bundle of naming rights" - would all play out, conceptually, in ~200 countries, and for 7.5 billion end users/learners/teachers - You at WUaS (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University) - at World University and School, and either on 7.5 billion individuals' smart phones/mobile phones (and much of the developing world has mobile phones), or on bank cards with chips, for example ... and, also, for ex, the largest refugee camps in the world, with about 300,000 people in them, mostly in eastern Africa, already have systems of currencies on bank cards or similar, as I understand this, so there is some precedent. 

Jameson, how might we best develop law open course ware, or similar, in all ~200 countries' official languages, for online law schools? 

Best regards,
Scott

Scott, hope you don't mind, re free law school, I'm looping in my new CodeX colleague, Jameson Dempsey, global orchestrator for the Legalhackers movement. Jameson - please see thread below, Scott and team have an interesting platform that could be great to work with re free law school globally.

Re the currency Q you ask, I see this tied to public policy on privacy / self sovereign identity and data justice/governance in the big picture and the underlying synecdoche of money as a bundle of naming rights.

Thanks, Tony,

Let's plan for this as we begin to develop World University and School in WUaS MediaWiki / Wikidata/Wikibase here in the World University and School Law Schools -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School (and in the beginning planned online law schools below, planned in all ~200 countries' official languages).

Hope to begin a 'Blockchain ledger' wiki subject at WUaS soon too, but in the meantime people can wiki-add blockchain resources here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Lawand https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Banking_and_Money (accessible from -  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects), - each subject planned in each of all ~200 countries' official and main languages.

Not too many blockchain ledger or related courses at MIT OCW (https://ocw.mit.edu/search/ocwsearch.htm?q=blockchain), or at WUaS (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/w/index.php?search=blockchain&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go), so looking forward to developing such curriculum out of Stanford Law CodeX and Stanford Law re World Univ & Sch. 

Tony, where do you see the blockchain ledger and law playing a role with the development of a single cryptocurrency in all ~200 countries, and backed by all ~200 countries' central banks - and re MIT Digital Currency Initiative's Executive Director, Neha Narula - https://twitter.com/neha - if at all? Have blogged some about this - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/07/himalayan-brown-bear-world-univ-sch.html - as well, and with regard to Stanford too and developing approaches to alleviate poverty in Africa, for example, but all around the world (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Poverty_Action). World University and School is seeking to plan for all 7.5 billion end users as we develop our 'main You at WUaS' (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University) for learners in all 7,097 living languages, and this could dovetail with the development of a single cryptocurrency in all ~200 countries.

Jonathan, talk with you soon about this.

Thank you, Tony.

Scott

Hi Jonathan (and All), 

Have had some success with Google Sites in beginning to revamp World University and School's landing page - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool - as a starting point. Google Sites said that, upon publishing, I should be able to go www.worlduniversityandschool.org and get to this new site, but this hasn't worked yet however, . 

Thank you for the generative conversation, Jonathan, which is leading to these new much needed WUaS web site developments!

As a heads' up, WUaS (which I think it's valuable for all of you to know) is comprised of two wings, an 
A) World Univ & Sch, a non-profit 501 (c) 3, as of 2011, and  
B) the WUaS Press / Corp, a for-profit general stock company, incorporating as a forked parallel second legal entity in  2017,  - both planned in all ~200 countries and in all 7097 living languages with machine learning and machine translation. Here again are the planned revenue streams for both wings - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html .

It was in and after a Stanford Law CodeX presentation that WUaS was able to incorporate legally as a for-profit general stock company in California - (and the named CEO currently is Julian Dumitrascu in Romania) - with an AI chat bot, thanks to presenter, lawyer Tom Martin. As WUaS begins to develop both wings, WUaS would like to plan too for the blockchain ledger. And the Stanford Law school has a new academic blockchain journal. Jonathan, and All, do you happen to know Stanford Law CodeX Tony Lai (same last name as yours Jonathan!) - am introducing you here in this email - originally from Hong Kong and Oxford, I think. He's spearheading in part Blockchain endeavors at Stanford Law, and it might be good to talk all together with him about how to begin to build in the blockchain ledger re both of WUaS's wings - i.e. for textbook sales to matriculating WUaS students, if appropriate.
Within Google Sites, I'd like to begin to develop with this 4 column approach - https://www.harvard.edu/ - especially for WUaS's ~12 main areas: 


1 Languages (in all ~8,000+ - each a Uni or Sch with WUaS Universal Translator: https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator)

2 Countries/Nation States with map (in all ~200+ countries, each a Uni or Sch in official/main languages)

3 You at WUaS & Admissions/Registering at WUaS for free, accrediting, best STEM-centric CC OCW, online Bach., Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. degrees

4 Subjects (using SUBJECT TEMPLATE to create new subjects)

5 Courses & Schools

6 Music School at WUaS (planned for all instruments, and for all languages as wiki) 

7 Library Resources (all museums in all languages in a realistic virtual earth - think Google Streetview with time slider)

8 Museums (all museums in all languages in a realistic virtual earth - think Google Streetview with time slider)

9Hardware Resource Possibilities

10 Educational Software

11 Foundation at WUaS

12 Research (best STEM CC OpenCourseWare-centric - in ~200 countries official languages, and in all 7097 living languages as wiki schools).

How best to begin the "backend" planning for applying / registering / matriculating students in all ~200 countries' official languages - and first with accreditation and via the state of California's Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education ... ie course catalog connected with matriculated students ... and all of this while tooling for machine learning. 

Thank you !
Scott
