Twinpods (12/31/20, see 12/23/20 too): Season’s Greetings 2021! {Free money?: you can begin to get free money daily with Stanford ‘Mine Pi’ crypto-currency; use this code: sgkmac }


 Season’s Greetings 2021!

Scott & Jane MacLeod, Christmas, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 2019


Dear friends,

Happy New Year 2021! And Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

What are you up to over these upcoming holidays? Will you celebrate with family in video conferencing? The Brown kin (the maiden name of my mother) will be getting together tomorrow in Skype video ;) and some Cuttyhunk family and friends on Xmas Day in Google Meet! 

I hope this finds you well! 

Here's the Earlham College (the college my mother went to her first year) aging reversal article, in the Harvard Medical School in Ophthalmology!: 

“Earlham grads named co-authors on groundbreaking study that reversed the clock on aging”

https://earlham.edu/news/article/?id=72924&r=40315&title=earlham-graduates-named-co-authors-on-groundbreaking-harvard-study-that-reversed-the-clock-on-aging&fbclid=IwAR3dPTy49q1N7JmdGIO33mzKNyXQhlCWnD507VaCHz35MYZu6c4dLGOYbYA 


And All, is this article suggesting promising research for getting genetic material to MUSCLES????? -

NeuBase Therapeutics Announces Positive Preclinical In Vivo Data for PATrOL™-enabled Anti-gene for the Treatment of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1

Transcription Factors, TFome:  aging forward & reverse

Genetic aging reversal by adding genes back into aging cells is indeed a novel re-conceptualizing and not easy to get my mind around in the details. 

And what are your thoughts about AGING REVERSAL via genetic engineering - re Harvard / MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church's thinking: 

"How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering?"

https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk (1 minute) (and see the 'longevity label in this blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity).

And what about getting genetic information via genetic engineering to bones next, re aging reversal questions? 


    Glad to have given this UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' talk on Friday, 12/18/2020:

“(S. MacLeod) Creating a Realistic Virtual Earth for Tourism and Tourism Studies with Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs: A Case Study”

(http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html?m=0 - with slides' link) 

And would you like to explore a #VirtualHike on the West Highland Way in Scotland? #VirtualWestHighlandWay - #RealisticVirtualEarthForHiking -#VirtualPacificCrestTrail - #StepMaster in #AugmentedReality #VirtualReality #WUaSDigitalGlasses #PCT in #GoogleStreetView with #TimeSlider ~

    Glad too the ANNUAL Meeting for WUaS – World University and School - (re WUaS Monthly Business Meeting in the manner of Friends) went well, and its Minutes are sent - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/12/sat-dec-19-2020-wuas-minutes-for-open.html 

-  https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/indiana-bat.html 

    Another fascinating remarkable development:

FREE MONEY?: you can begin to get free money daily with Stanford ‘Mine Pi’ crypto-currency; use this code: sgkmac 

The mine-able Stanford 'Mine Pi' crypto-currency - minepi.com/sgkmac (and, on your smartphone, please use sgkmac as a referral code) - could become the basis for single crypto-currency in all ~200 countries.

WORLD UNIV & SCH is seeking to facilitate high quality free universal education (wiki too) to all 7.8 billion people on the planet, and in all ~200 countries, and in 7,117 known living languages, as well as to alleviate poverty among all 7.8 billion people, potentially by distributing a single crypto-currency backed by most of ~200 countries’ central banks as Universal Basic Income experiments. 


    And glad also to have almost finished recording in digital form my first musical album - 'Honey in the Bag' Scottish Small Pipes' bagpiping album -

https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/ 

http://scottmacleod.com/piping.htm  :)

- and as a first iteration, and here's a track from it, "The Pumpkin's Fancy" -  

https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/track/the-pumpkins-fancy-h-scott-gk-macleod


More about my Scottish Small Pipes' album here, and with Yo Yo Ma and Steve Martin (on banjo) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/10/turquoise-parrot-neophema-pulchella.html?m=0 - inspirations!


    And 5TH Book is coming any day now (it's a birthing process:) -

"Light, Float, Sit, Watsu ~ Virtually: Bodymind Electricity Sings to Me at Harbin Hot Springs & Other Traveling Poems" - emerging soon, but besides a few blog entries, there aren't any web pages for this yet, but you'll find it here ~ https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity ~ and in the Poetry Press at World University and School ~ http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html ~ a new publishing house! :)

The "Light, Float, Sit, Watsu ~ Virtually ... " book of poetry is available here now:

If aging reversal pans out, it's a whole new world! Time grows longer, much longer! Much love for longer? To be seen! 


    Friendly inquiry: Is the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic of the past year in part a worldwide fire drill, with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 virus) being tested now one of many viruses giving rise to the ‘common cold?’ Were the events in Wuhan, China, and in Lombardy and Veneto, Italy, products of laboratories that got this pandemic happening in the internet news’ media? Further thoughts in blog and re 5 hypothetical news’ items are here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/himalyan-monal-how-are-harbin-hot.html. If so, this might be very good news regarding the genetic engineering revolution underway, and for preparedness in the event of an emergency and in many other ways.

Warm greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area.

Merry Xmas & Happy New Year!

Warmest regards, Scott

PS

It’s been another generative year for ideas in terms of daily blog posts - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com - as well.


Happy New Year and best wishes to all of you and your loved ones in this holiday season!

Most beautiful Piobaireachds ~

Since Piobaireachds are almost always laments or sad, I think, I wonder if it's Scots ways of playing the blues, in a way :) How to add, in one way or another, a blues idiom to Piobaireachd on a 9 note chanter, and for musicians to riff together, too ;~) ?



Excellent, Taylor! 


Since Piobaireachds are almost always laments or sad, I think, I wonder if it's Scots ways of playing the blues, in a way :) ... Am wondering too whether we could explore adding, literally, in one way or another, a blues idiom to Piobaireachd on a 9 note chanter :_:) ... as I listen to this, 

The Allman Brothers Band Featuring Jerry Garcia ‎– Live at the Cow Palace, 1973

https://youtu.be/DNAmXz8kc6I - where toward the end, one song is an old classic lullaby or similar, sung to the blues, in a great way :)

See you tomorrow, 
Scott


PS



PPS
Am wondering about some of your thoughts about the following, re my seeking online piano instruction: :)



To my mother and old family friends: 

Thanks to a very nice Xmas gift from my mother, - and in teaching Scottish Small Pipes' online on Skype, and enjoyably (during the Covid-19 Pandemic) - I'm seeking an online piano teacher, and begin to play piano again. 

While I think the Suzuki method might be very sensible too, (since I think Henry and Sandy, for example, played Suzuki violin together), and now Online, I'm also seeking to play (ear candy) Scottish Country Dance sheet music more fluently, and the Blues' piano book tutorial I have, and JS Bach's Inventions (which music really speaks to me, and which comes somewhat fluently). 

And if I could find a inspiring and genius Diana Henderson, MIT Professor of Shakespeare, and English Lit., who teaches piano online, that would indeed be who I'm seeking as a piano teacher ... (so, again, an online teacher of piano with the genius and inspiration, and good will smarts, of a kind of Diana Henderson, MIT Prof of Shakespeare and English Lit - https://twitter.com/DianaHe23732776 - and now with the internet, it's possible to find teachers from any city in the world, from anywhere in fact, so I'm writing you in all your different cities to inquire about your ideas about how to find a best & inspiring teacher from the Boston area, or London, or ? (I've put an email I sent recently to my mother about this reg. related ideas / Questions - and Janie and I have also talked about my appreciating a teacher with a method, since I teach SSP with 3 College of Piping tutorials, so am posting the Suzuki Piano Book 1 below too!).

Fond regards, 
Scott


Happy New Year 2021 letter ! ~
& with Aging Reversal ??? herein ...



Hi Ma, 

Just started to look around for piano lessons, and found in a Google search, about the 6th link down, this Yelp referral site for the 10 best piano teachers in the SF Bay Area


And at the top of their list is this -

And while it's a great avenue into to seeing how online piano learning would work, and great outreach as a web site, I'm not all that inspired by the lead of this music school - 

Interesting ... am thinking I'd like to find an online teacher of piano with the genius and inspiration, and good will smarts, of a kind of Diana Henderson, MIT Prof of Shakespeare and English Lit - https://twitter.com/DianaHe23732776 - and now with the internet, I could conceivably find an inspiring teacher from Boston or London even :) Wow ... 

Am I still interested in playing Scottish Country Dance sheet music more fluently, and the Blues' piano book tutorial I have, and JS Bach's Inventions - all of them? I think so to start ... so how to find and connect with an inspiring teacher for this? 

There are other links above this from the Google search (below), but only a few seem possibly inspiring.

Do you happen to know of anyone in Pittsburgh in these regards? :)

On with the search! :)

How's your day going, and how are you?

L, Scott

And while Anna, the first teacher here - https://www.hendersonacademyofmusic.com/san-francisco-piano-teachers - from Russia, might be most inspiring for me, and possibly patient too (since I'm basically a beginner) and as a woman, she seems likely most classically music-oriented. But if she could help me play JS Bach fluently ... :)


Might find someone here -

Tele-robotic surgery at WUaS - Begin with Lipomas, Vaccine Injections, and Vascular Surgery?


Hi David, Ann, and Ma,

Very nice to have spent time together over Xmas.

How are you? How is your recovery going from your lipoma surgery, David?

Your both having mentioned having had lipomas, Ma & David, leads me to wonder about developing tele-robotic surgery first for lipomas, and first even with dogs, and other house pets - https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/adipose-lipoma-tumors . Looks like there's even a syringe involved to extract cells which could be good for other things to, in creating or  training a robot with computer science.

This is the idea with a video -
Begin w lipomas & vaccines in pets  #WUaSHomeSurgery re #WUaSTeleroboticSurgery @WorldUnivAndSch (@grok_ Kate Darling @medialab) https://t.co/iVeX2SxO16 & #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords in #RealisticVirtualEarthForSurgery w #MachineLearning & #RealisticVirtualEarthFoRobotics?




Thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions?

I hope you're feeling better, David!

Fondly, Scott

Holiday Greetings Peter Bothe In Bremen, Germany, and regarding tele-robotics' surgery too

Hello Scott!
...and is it working for you? Just went to my calendar to create an event, but I can only do "normal" Google Meets with up to 100 participants. It seems more and more people use Google Meet these days. As a G suite user you should be able to have Hangouts with up to 250 participants.

I'm pretty active in Second Life and also in the process of setting up a couple of Discord servers. It's a really good place to host and manage bigger communities with all kinds of topics. I like the idea of having separate channels for info only, text, voice and video chats. You can give different roles and rights to members and introduce all kinds of Bots to keep your community safe and manage it. BTW, the audio quality in Discord is the best I've ever experienced in any group call.

I wish you a Happy New Year 2021,

Hello Peter! How are you?

Hello Peter! Yes, Skype works, and I haven't yet tried to record from G Meet to a WUaS Youtube channel (but yesterday's talk with Fritz in Bayern could have been good to have recorded!). Re Google's developments, and Meet, and connecting, my mother couldn't get into G Meet on Xmas with a non-gmail address, but F could yesterday with a non-gmail address, and I can't seem from within Google Photos to send pictures to people with non-gmail addresses (like my mother, for ex.) ... Glad Google Meet may be opening in other ways and re recording to Youtube (thank you for seeing its significance - ie re 2nd Youtube channel for WUaS!). ... I connected with a Stanford Biodesign conference in the autumn in Discord - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/sinharaja-forest-reserve-to-lasers-wiki.html (and yes Discord is a fascinating example of encoding explicitly discordant aspects of the web) - but as a consequence of the Stanford Biodesign conference, I further connected a week or 2 ago in a Stanford Biodesign outgrowth with Apple Care Kit - and a group of medical practitioners in Google Meet, including Dr. Oliver Aalami MD a Stanford  and formerly UCSF vascular surgeon ... good news for envisioning and planning for tele-robotic surgery even ... and with a blog post about this today :)

 Wishing you a happy New Year as well, Peter! Friendly Regards, Scott (Season's Greetings' letter 2021 - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/sinharaja-forest-reserve-to-lasers-wiki.html - Thoughts about aging reversal via genetic engineering, and emerging from the kickstart to the genetic revolution, since 1953 - due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but seemingly not a very very serious epidemic?:)

Further brainstorming about tele-robotic surgery and it looks like with the NEW Lego Robotics' Spike Prime kit one can write code in the Scratch programming language on one's computer screen eg here - https://scratch.mit.edu/users/ScottWorldUnivAndSch/ - and upload up to 20 different programs to the Spike Prime HUB


Hi David, 

how are you mending, after your 12/24/20 procedure/surgical operation? I hope you're getting better apace. It was really nice to visit with you both on Xmas. 

Warm regards, Scott

Dear Fritz, and Anthony, 

Great to talk just now, Fritz, in Google Meet video conference (for nearly 2 hours!) in the CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School News and Q&A (https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1343265124748955653?s=20 - on Monday mornings at 10am Pacific Time, SF Bay Area) ... Thanks for joining (and glad it worked with your icloud email). 

Fritz, per our conversation in what ways might we explore creatively adding this approach to molecular biology with modern dance at MIT OCW-centric Germany World University and School in Germany, and in a single realistic virtual earth that we can all add to, and thus map -
 
Stanford "Dancing the RNA Molecule" (1971)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTRmvnlNVw4You10:32 "(Paul Berg) Protein Synthesis: An Epic on the Cellular Level" - How to engage such creative Stanford approaches to science & dance from '71 in an #ActualVirtual #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics w #FilmTo3D App?
https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1343671092401979392?s=20

And in what ways might Germany, in German, get MIT OCW-centric free-to-students degrees - Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD - and the IB diploma too? 

Anthony, Fritz, in our Munich-SF Bay Area conversation earlier today, recommended the following video, which I'm very impressed with - and regarding (Friendly-informed, MIT OCW-centric) World Univ & Sch's plans for online IB schools (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_and_Programme) in each of all ~200 countries' official languages, but also enjoyment and creativity, potentially: 

Thanks for this, with you Anthony! - 
Territory Mapping for Educators

Glad to read here also, Anthony, that you hitchhiked around the USA in the late 1960s visiting 45 of the 50 US states ~ https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-willoughby-a2757511/ - a time I study academically even, and in an actual-virtual context even. Anthony, I know Fritz from Stanford University, and we've both had some association with Quakers as well. 

In terms of territory mapping, I'm wondering how World Univ & Sch might explore facilitating this for our WUaS students in a brand new way, in a realistic virtual earth even (Think Google Street View TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth with Google SketchUp) - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click . 

World Univ & Sch would also seek to develop uniquely, for the IB diploma if we can, #WUaSHomeRobotics - https://twitter.com/hashtag/WUaSHomeRobotics?src=hashtag_click - with the 3 Lego Robotics' Kits, perhaps developing this MIT OCW experimental couree - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/ - into a courses in edX (founded by MIT and Harvard), with whom WUaS is in the process of partnering currently, and at the IB level, and in many languages. I'm glad that the WUaS Educational Services' Store became an authorized carrier of Lego Robotics - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - but which is as of yet undeveloped. 

World Univ & Sch is also seeking to develop an inspiring approach to IB education, and your 'mapping the territory' focus may be just the ticket for this.

(I attended Fettes College in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1977-78 in the 1st year 6th Form, and Fettes is now an IB school, and I also attended through a Reed College Programs, LMU in Munich during college, in 1981-82, and the University of Edinburgh in 2003-04, by way of introduction, and regarding territory mapping, and international education experience. I'm also posting a UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' talk below which I gave on 12/18/20 as a resource regarding my research focus - which you can also find in my 2021 Season's Greetings' letter here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/twinpods-physaria.html).

Anthony, and Fritz, would you like to meet in a Google Meet video conference - meet.google.com/nfn-txbj-pyn - next Monday to talk further about some of this, at 10 am Pacific Time, so in the early evening in Europe / Britain? And Anthony, might the Nomadic School of Business be interested in collaborating or partnering with World Univ & Sch, and regarding potentially ONLINE IB schools in new and creative ways? As online wiki schools, planned in all 7,117 known living languages, WUaS also seeks to map territory in brand new ways, and create people to people free universal high quality education as well.

All the best, 
Scott

Dear Anthony, 

I just want to follow up with you, and to say thanks for your inspiring "Territory Mapping for Educators" video. It would be great to talk further about interstices.

Any chance we might explore in a single #Realistic Virtual Earth For History - https://twitter.com/hashtag/realisticvirtualearthforhistory?src=hashtag_click - bringing your hitchhiking year in the states alive in new ways at some point?

This is the beginning of this idea in some ways:

Hi Anthony, 

Thanks so much for your quick response. I just watched your "In Search of Inspiration" video, and was further inspired - am appreciating the vision you project (and the images too!)

Yes, let's get together soon in video chat. How would Monday, January 4th work for you, at 10am Pacific Time, which I think might be 6pm your time (in the British Isles, if you are indeed there)? Regarding your first video with its IB focus too, and your Nomadic School, how might talking in part about creating potentially ~200 online IB schools in all nation states' / countries' official and main languages work for you - and potentially in conjunction with the joys and inspiration of traveling, but newly online (and gradually)? I've learned that IB education is as brief as 3 courses in the 2nd to last year of high school, and 3 courses in the last year of high school, or as extensive as a philosophy of education regarding K-12, and WUaS is interested in just probably the latter, as well as the IB standard / and accreditation / credential or diploma. (There's an IB Quaker school in Ramallah, for example, taught in Arabic and English, for example, but not online, and is considered one of the best schools in the Middle East, but WUaS's Quaker / Friendly inspirations are separate from this). WUaS seeks to add both CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare high school courses, as well as WUaS Home Robotics' courses, for students learning from their home kitchen tables, and significantly in an Actual-Virtual single Realistic Virtual Earth, say in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLego?src=hashtag_click - and for # /Robotics +. MIT OCW's CC-4 licensing - where Creative Commons' 4's attributes allow for 1) sharing, 2) adapting (eg WUaS could add MIT OCW to a database with AI), but 3) non-commercially - mean that WUaS will not seek tuition from students, but WUAS instead seeks reimbursement from departments of education (in all ~200 countries), and even at what it might cost to go to Harrow, or Phillips Academy Exeter in NH, for example. In many ways, this would mean that highest achieving students in all ~200 countries would / could get a MIT OCW-centric IB education for free from home (with traveling in a realistic virtual earth, and with physical robotics for those on STEM paths especially).

Your contacts and connections from so many different countries, and inspiring leadership and smarts, and inspiring 'territory mapping' - now potentially newly online and in creative IT ways - open many possibilities. 

If Monday 1/4/21 around 6pm your time (I think) doesn't work for you, what are some good possible times?

Sincerely yours,
Scott

PS
WUaS has 2 wings, as legal entities in California (and see the very open in a sense licensing at bottom): 

A) World Univ & Sch - worlduniversityandschool.org (planned in ~200 countries as major online CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric Universities, offering IB, Bachelor, Ph.D, Medicine and Law degrees, accrediting/licensing first in CA, - and in their official / main languages, and in all 7,117 living languages as WIKI schools for open teaching and learning, where Wikipedia is in 300 languages, which leaves about 6,800 languages to develop further. OUR WUaS IB diploma graduates will have further online degrees to head for, or they could drop out and 'hitchhike' around a virtual earth - think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow AI - instead if they chose :). This is a nonprofit in CA, and a 501 c 3 nonprofit in the US.

B) the WUaS Press / WUaS Corp - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html (planned in ~200 countries and in all 7,117 known living languages with machine translation); this is a for-profit general stock company.

Open Monthly Business Meeting (in the manner of Friends) meets too on the 3rd Saturdays of the month at 9 am Pacific Time, electronically, and is hour-long.


WUaS ANNUAL Business Meeting minutes are here, for your perusal:

Here are our WUaS 15 planned revenue streams, for both wings - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/15-planned-wuas-revenue-streams-both.html - but WUaS basically has no money in the bank to speak of, whatsoever.

Hi Fritz, (and Anthony), 

Thanks for your New Year's greetings - and good to talk last Monday for nearly 2 hours!

Here, by the way, are 2 WUaS Block Chain Twitter #Hashtags - 
for idea sharing (and re where WUaS seeks to head with the blockchain ledger, as revolutionary as it may be too)

Fritz, Anthony and I have been communicating also about WUaS (Friendly-inspired, and MIT OCW-centric, with WUaS Home Robotics with Lego) IB school development in all ~200 countries and in their official / main languages online. See - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/eastern-screech-owl.html. Fritz, could possibly explore your helping to develop some of this in Germany, in Bayern (where your mother lives), and also possibly with the other WUaS CC-4 MIT OCW-centric university degrees in German - Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and MD even? 

Shall we all get together this Monday, Jan 4, 2021 at 10 am Pacific Time in Google Meet video conferencing (like last Monday with Fritz) to explore some of all this further - and simply to chat  in meet.google.com/nfn-txbj-pyn ?

Anthony, and Fritz, 

Monday at 10 am PT is the WUaS News, and Q&A time, - meet.google.com/nfn-txbj-pyn - and while we could meet then, if interested, it's an open Meeting, and a prospective Ph.D. student from India, Prasanth, I think will be joining this too. If interested in meeting and talking further, we could meet on Monday at 10am PT or another time. My questions for you, Anthony, and given your territory mapping video, have to do with WUaS collaborating with the IB credentialing process, in all ~200 countries, and in their official languages, and with WUaS Home Robotics, - https://twitter.com/hashtag/WUaSHomeRobotics?src=hashtag_click - and CC-4 MIT OCW for high school -  https://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/ - and online in a new way (not the IB experiment out of Bethesda MD - called Pamoja I think). Could John Rolfe and other IB people in the Territory Mapping video help, for example? (I attended an IB school in Geneva Switzerland - Ecolint - in 1972-73, when my family lived there for 6 months!). And Fettes College, an IB school now, which attended in 1977-78 in the 1st year 6th could possibly help too, - and from Scotland (re George Preston, my old Housemaster, and minder of the Old Fettesian records, for example).

Dear Anthony, Prasanth, Fritz, Universitians, (and greetings George Preston, my old Kimmerghame Housemaster at Fettes College in Edinburgh Scotland in 1977-1978), All,  

Thanks so much for your conversation today in the 

"WUaS News, Q&A, and Conversation 1/4/21 (2021-01-04 at 10:02 GMT-8)" 

The Google Meet video conference video recording worked out, as a new first (for WUaS -  World Univ & Sch)! And glad you two, Anthony & Fritz, could both meet for the first time face-to-face, and it seems in communication with Doutzen Groothof (standtall.biz) in the Hague (whom it's interesting to learn of, from you both), and also involved in International Baccalaureate education potentially. (I lived with a Quaker family, the Kruegers, for 2.5 months at the end of my 13 months' time studying in Munich, Germany, in 1981-82, at LMU, in part, and through a Reed College program, with classrooms in Olympiazentrum).

Here, per our conversation, are two related Wiki World Univ & Sch subjects - 
Indigenous languages of the Americas - 

WUaS IB Diploma and Programme wiki subject page for starters - 
WUaS is planning to offer online IB programme in each of all ~200 countries, and in their main / official languages 

In terms of a kind of structure of and information about WUaS, both of the above wiki subjects are accessible here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - but neither of these pages have much MIT OpenCourseWare (which eventually be for credit); check out some of the creative wiki subjects at WUaS too, and not just the Academic wiki subjects, which of course also are creative.

And here's the "JuryX" course from Harvard Law Emeritus Charles Nesson I mentioned, which I found inspiring in 2016, and which builds as a course most successfully on the edX platform, in my opinion, to give you some idea of what edX is about too (and with which WUaS is in the process of partnering): 


In what ways could WUaS with your visionary guidance Anthony build out 3 lower level and 3 upper level end of high school IB courses (for ages 16,17 and 18?) on the edX platform, using this course as a model, and which would be IB credentialed with students receiving an online IB diploma upon successful completion - eventually in all ~200 countries, and in their official and main languages? (Charlie Nesson is also deeply informed by the spirit of 1960s' freedom seeking movements, and is a very successful Harvard Law Emeritus Professor, re the freedom and success of the IB diploma).

Anthony, brainstorming-wise, in what ways could MIT OCW-centric WUaS get and matriculate Harrow student graduates beginning this May 1, 2021 or September 1, even - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrow_School - https://www.harrowschool.org.uk - and for free-to-students' online undergraduate 4-year Bachelor degrees (with initial licensing and accreditation in CA's BPPE and WASC) that are CC-4 MIT OCW-centric? Possibly 25- 50 and where the department of education in England - eg https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education or similar - might reimburse WUaS per student per year even, due to the CC-4 licensing? Free MIT-centric degrees for English students are good value! 

Far more than an edX course brainstorming-wise too, I wonder about creating a voluntary "Mapping the Territory" entree in Google SketchUp into the 'World University world' from something like this - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - planning brainstorming-wise for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, where everyone is a wiki teacher or learner, and in each of all 7,117 known living languages, and in all ~200 nation states / countries.

I'll add the above video here to my blog entry from December 29, 2020 (beginning with Eastern screech owl) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/eastern-screech-owl.html - where our previous email communications until today are, and to a new blog post from today.
 
Looking forward to further communications about all of this, and thank you so much Anthony & Fritz for joining the conversation today!

Sincerely, 
Scott

PS
Looked up some etymologies of the word 'harrow' re harrowing, re your great old alma mater, Anthony :) ... 



... and straw boater hats are part of the school uniform? :)

... must learn more .... The above etymologies are quite non-specific to Harrow 1572 which was founded about 64 years before Harvard College 1636, the oldest school & university in the US, I think.




Good morning, Anthony, & World University community!
