Kadupul flower (Dutchman's pipe cactus): Great talk by former Prime Minister of Italy, Matteo Renzi, yesterday at Stanford (There were at least 2 former Stanford President Emeriti in the audience – Hennessy and Casper), Asked what Italy thought about Euro currency post-Lira (1861-02), whether a single cryptocurrency w block chain ledger was in future in 19 out of 27 or 28 EU states, whether this would be a wild card for Brexit when nation states such as Britain came to recognize the economic benefits of a single cryptocurrency to themselves & what effect of Euro has been on European culture?, "Stanford - Former PM Matteo Renzi of Italy, and Prof. Anna Grzymala-Busse," Wonder about banks & CRYPTO KITTIES' innovative potential-See HARVARD LAW, Re "See HARVARD LAW ...

Great talk by former Prime Minister of Italy, Matteo Renzi, yesterday at Stanford. (There were at least 2 former Stanford President Emeriti in the audience – Hennessy and Casper).  As the last question, I asked what Italy thought about Euro currency post-Lira (1861-02), whether a single cryptocurrency w block chain ledger was in future in 19 out of 27 or 28 EU states, whether this would be a wild card for Brexit when nation states such as Britain came to recognize the economic benefits of a single cryptocurrency to themselves & what effect of Euro has been on European culture?

Was glad to give Matteo Renzi too my World University and School business card, with planned MIT OCW-centric degrees in Italian written on the back, as well as my Harbin book "" card (since he had talked about the significance of workshops - bottega - in the Italian Renaissance to Italian creativity - e.g. Michelangelo and Da Vinci learned and taught in such workshops - bottega ). Here's a picture -

Dear Anna,

Thanks for your excellent interview with Matteo Renzi just now -  "Populism and Innovation: Twin Challenges for Europe?" ... https://tec.fsi.stanford.edu/events/talk-matteo-renzi-former-prime-minister-italy - after his talk.

It would be great to explore collaboration with Stanford President Emeriti John Hennessy and Gerhard Casper - and especially with former PM Matteo Renzi - with regards to planned free MIT OCW-centric degrees (and potentially Stanford Law and Medicine OCW degrees too) online in Italian at World University and School (Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school). How best to explore this possibility?

I tweeted a bit about this, and there's a picture of you in this Tweet as well - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1082828360307245057

Best regards,
Scott

Blazing star: Medical Blockchain and Regulation, Think Google's Project Baseline (which is partnering with Stanford and Duke) into online teaching hospitals, with Project ECHO (MD specialists to rural populations in group video with a mentoring aspect) into online medical schools, Universal Basic Income if WUaS can facilitate an UBI to emails / phone numbers in each of all ~200 countries' official languages for 7.5 billion people (some portion re PLANNING for this), with the cryptocurrency somehow backed by ~200 central federal banks), Wikipedia is in 301 languages, with 291 being active ... (but I agree somehow that they aren't accessible in a wiki 'fast' way any longer, being somehow siloed ) ... an opportunity to create 7097 living languages' wiki communities via WUaS as I see this)
