Galaxy: Thank you for your extraordinary National Academy of Sciences (NAS, National Academy of Medicine (NAM), and National Academy of Engineers (NAE) panels. I'd like to bring to your attention a millions' dollars grand challenge idea, namely that of a single realistic virtual earth / universe for everything.

157th National Academy of Sciences

Dear NAS President Marcia McNutt, Professors Maria Zuber, George Church, Victor Dzau, Alton Romig, and All, 

Thank you for your extraordinary NAS, NAM, and NAE panels this past weekend. I'd like to bring to your attention a millions' dollars grand challenge idea, namely that of a single realistic virtual earth / universe for everything - for all your panel presentations' science, and further research, and in a myriad of other ways. Think Google Streetview with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate at the cellular & atomic levels, and with species and individuals, and conceptually with Minecraft / Second Life for group build-ability, Lego robotics, and avatar bots too, but realistic. This would involve building, for example, one realistic virtual earth with individual organisms' genetics for aging reversal research - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLongevity?src=hashtag_click and https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForCRISPR?src=hashtag_click (see, too: https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1182013815308705792?s=20) with, for example, experimental animals, in something conceptually like Google Poly (which is a library of virtual objects), for clinical trials (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages)), and for actual-virtual, physical-digital tele-robotic surgery for the proposed mission to Mars in the 2030s, as we map and model for further research the trillions upon trillions of stars in a single realistic virtual universe/galaxies at the atomic level. The millions' dollars grand challenge idea is to build this, eg see Marc Andreessen's article here: 

In many ways one could see this single realistic virtual earth/universe/galaxies as vast data set real estate in unparalleled ways, which, eureka, is 'minable' or buildable in infinite ways, and potential for trillions + of dollars. Please see the related #RealisticVirtualEarth hashtags on Twitter. How best to develop single realistic virtual earth / universe / galaxies further as a millions' dollars grand challenge idea? And how might we best communicate further about this? 

Thank you for your consideration of this millions' dollars grand challenge idea. And I send my deepest condolences in this most difficult time, Professor Tully, as well. And thank you so much for making available online, in the middle of this coronavirus pandemic, these amazing National Academy of Science, Medicine and Engineering panels. (I have broached a number of related ideas recently with MIT President Rafael Reif - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/dear-mit-president-rafael-reif-possible.html). Please let me know your thoughts about this.

Sincerely,

Expression of interest to partner with World University and School


Nidahas Vidyalaya - Freedom College | Admin

to me, worlduniversityandschool

Dear Mr. Scott MacLeod,

This is an expression of interest to partner with World University and School to build a 100% tuition-free online college. We would like to share our expertise or our site to make this possible as we share similar values to your organisation. We could create sites in local languages using Moodle LMS. If you are interested in partnering with us, please do not hesitate to contact us after going through our site by creating a free account.

Dear Mr. M. Rifai,

Thank you for your email. Let's stay in touch. As a wiki, World Univ & Sch welcomes edits from CC-4 licensed educational institutions, such as Nidahas Vidyalaya - Freedom College might become, since WUaS is CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric. MIT OCW's CC-4 licensing, which allows CC-4 World Univ & Sch to 1) share, 2) adapt, but 3) non-commercially MIT OCW resources (in its 4 languages) is how WUaS is working with MIT OCW, and is how Nidahas Vidyalaya - Freedom College (https://twitter.com/NVidyalaya - & WUaS just followed you) could work with CC-4 World Univ & Sch, regarding your question of partnering.

WUaS seeks to develop major online universities in all ~200 countries' official, and main, languages offering free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric degrees (because of the CC-4 non-commercial attribute), and in Sri Lanka especially at Sri Lanka World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka - and in the Sinhala language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sinhala_language in Sinhala, in Tamil - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Tamil_language (in Tamil itself) - and in Hindi, in addition to English +. If you would like to attend the open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on the 3rd Saturdays of the month at 9am Pacific Time (California), you'd get a sense of what our next steps are.

I'll add this email too to the WUaS open Monthly Business Meeting emailings, and here are recent Minutes - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/pacific-reef-heron-minutes-for-41820.html - and with Agenda & News' links at bottom, for your perusal.

World Univ & Sch is also meeting with the MIT Office of Digital Learning this Friday, May 1st, and to talk further about WUaS-MIT collaboration ideas, partly regarding WUaS seeking to matriculate 500-2000 undergraduate students online this autumn, possibly in something like MIT OCW courses into MITx courses on the edX platforms. Would you be interested in exploring locating and finding 100-200 high achieving, English-speaking Sri Lankan undergraduate students who would be potentially interested in a 4 year free-to-students' online MIT-centric Bachelor's degree, studying from home?

With very best wishes, Scott

Cow & calf


Ma,

Came across this cow & calf in photo at dusk on my walk today, just before a very nice 3-way lookout on a saddle ... nice to see (and the rusty basin is to their left up a hill). After a long uphill walk on nice evening, turned around here. What is cow consciousness, I've been asking myself.

They're aware, and am not sure how much they remember, and herd connection seems to be part of their 'thereness' - as consciousness. Their cattle consciousness is different from bat consciousness, and dog consciousness for ex. Not clear how a scientist would characterize their consciousness (how in their brains bodymind what we could call consciousness finds form) ...or if Cows could talk, how they would characterize it from the 'inside.' (Or how I'd characterize this ...) ... so am not sure how to bring the 3rd and 1st person or bodymind (re cows) accounts together, but I'd suggest cow consciousness has parallels with human consciousness.

Their awareness as consciousness is in their vision & other senses - and somehow in cow cognition - but living in fields, and eating grass, and with no language, their consciousness seems staid ... and also not language-centric. What is cow consciousness further, I wonder ... and as a way to think about human consciousness ?

:) And how to explore too connecting with Z? :)

Love, Scott



Cow & calf photo in Canyon, CA:

What a lovely image at dusk.

I think I’m seeing more during this pandemic; the little things.  The details.

Have a good day.

Love, Ma

Thanks, Ma, - albeit a little difficult to see given low light levels ... so glad you're seeing things anew, and more, in this pandemic ... and details ... So, further, in the asking about cattle awareness or consciousness ...

Am asking what is "cattle consciousness" ... that is, what is it like to be a cattle / cow? Perhaps this means, per your email, what is it like to see like a cattle (singular) and re the details that a cattle might see with awareness and consciousness - both objectively and subjectively (which like the impossibility, at this time, of reconciling the 1st and 3rd person accounts linguistically for humans - or 1st and 3rd bodymind in the case of a cattle, male or female) ... or bringing together a scientific view of a cattle's consciousness with a 'personal' or better 'cattle-centric' account what they are aware of ... (In writing this, am observing newly some linguistic challenges too in exploring these questions philosophically in words :)

Consciousness, philosophically - western, is a mystery ... and re Yoga it's about a kind of oneness with the Seer, big S ... a very different account and contextualizing of ideas and experiences :)

'Consciousness easy and hard problems' (see below, and re Chalmers) - and "What is it like to be a bat?" essay inform some of these questions ... but it's fascinating per your observation that we're seeing new details during this pandemic ... and how would this work regarding becoming conscious in new ways?

Love, Scott
'consciousness easy and hard problems'

Hard problem of consciousness
"The hard problem of consciousness is the problem of explaining why and how sentient organisms have qualia [note 1] or phenomenal experiences—how and why it is that some internal states are subjective, felt states, such as heat or pain, rather than merely nonsubjective, unfelt states, as in a thermostat or a toaster.[2]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness

Easy problem of consciousness
" "easy problems" of explaining the ability to discriminate, integrate information, report mental states, focus attention, and so forth.[4] Easy problems are (relatively) easy because all that is required for their solution is to specify a mechanism that can perform the function.[4]"




* * *

Ma,

A new image idea came to me re Scottish small piping

Playing the Scottish small pipes, I'd like to be a kind of space ship that soars down from the atmosphere and with a series of tones transports you the listener to another world. :)

Love, Scott

It's the otherness of Scottish kilt and attire that can compliment this vision of cultural alien of spaceship bagpiper playing beautiful bagpipe as (inscrutable) computer code that I'd like to highlight as vision with video even in my upcoming 'Honey in the Bag' Scottish Small Pipes' album. (Indians. India. Hippies - at Harbin Hot Springs esp - can all get very beautifully to this other cultural liminal luminaries' space, in visionary clothes too, - and with music). I won't suggest that spaceship bagpipe computer small piping is anything like shooting a ray gun for tele-transportation  "Beam me up, Scotty" from Star Trek. ... but this Scottish alien envisioning could contribute to a vision of freedom for Scotland as well, Ma! ;)

Love, Scott

Angela Farmer also explores vision. She's very visionary as a Yogini and artistic (as are most peoples in this ethnic dress or clothes, and music ... culturally and identity-wise as well ... People like Angela are able to see this in others in ways that other people don't, in my experience, and she's able too to elicit this further interestingly :) ... but with this spaceship bagpiping otherness envisioning ... am curious how it will inform my daily playing toward being able to transform people listening to another space ('flow' experiences yes ) ... but also with a kind of well played computer code ray gun from tele-transportation) ... in a science fiction vein, yes ... but it's learning further how to small pipe in these regards to elicit this further as I teleport from spaceship to earth in kilt, perhaps on porch in Canyon, with hills in background ... to play wonderfully all the tunes I'm planning for "Honey in the Bag" ...

And you, Ma, and further seeing details? Consciousness-wise as well? :))

Love, Scott

Beautiful, and thanks for the learning opportunity too! 

I think we stopped at Dark Valley Woods Park in late December, didn't we, Ma? Could you walk there (safely and along a nice way) from there, by any chance? 

Here it is in Google Maps -- with photos one can add, I think, although I don't recall crossing Hwy 70 to get to here afterward, so maybe we stopped at a different park! :)

It would be fun to explore adding flowers and photos to Google Maps together too. This is the idea of ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - and for learning and teaching esp. I added a photo of the Harbin Hot Springs' gate house here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) ... and in many ways, this Harvard transcription idea is very related:

WUaS LiveStream - MIT


Dear Larry, Sanjay and All, 

I explored in today's WUaS Livestream some ideas about our upcoming talk with Sanjay at MIT's Office of Digital Learning on Thursday, May 14. 

WUaS open Livestream on Monday, April 27, 2020, 10 am PT: 

https://youtu.be/opJW5MkjeKY Accessible from the NEW WUaS Livestream channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdURAADdLc9ctxnbismtXzQ/ (eventually to be linked probably with MAIN WUaS channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch). Seeking undergrads this fall for free-to-students' CC-4 OCW-centric Bachelor degrees


https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1254825274681655297?s=20

Collaboration potential? ... great insights into upcoming online education in the autumn because of uncertainty with regard to the coronavirus pandeic: 

"Harvard will reopen in the fall, but whether it’s remote or on campus is uncertain"
(I've been reading some newspaper's articles that are behind a paywall, like the Boston Globe's, with the Tor browser - https://www.torproject.org/download/)

In CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's seeking to develop in a single realistic virtual earth for STEM and as classrooms, first in English, please see: 

MIT's course "Creating Videogames" is opening to the public this Wed from 2-2:45 ET. Prof. Philip Tan is cool; he was a guest speaker in
@karen_brennan 's class a few years back. Tell the young people you know who are interested in designing video games:
