One question I haven't explored explicitly in now 27 blog posts about the coronavirus pandemic is whether it could be a massive disinformation campaign, which this fascinating55 minutes' interview, that John Palfrey shared on Twitter this morning - "Social Media & Internet Law: A Discussion With Kate Klonick" ... https://twitter.com/jpalfrey/status/1247935249134292992?s=20 - lead me to inquire about. And I wonder about this in terms of the memes (replicating cultural units) of a 'radical action' (perhaps to address the following 5 issues - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/himalyan-monal-how-are-harbin-hot.html ) - too, as well as an exercise in learning about how successfully to create a directed or focused internet viral 'meme" (imitable word as meme here - "coronavirus") - and in order to study these processes academically too.

*

Himalyan Monal: How are the Harbin Hot Springs' Residents coping - in this time of 'national emergency' in the USA? * * * New newspaper ... "Hypothetical News" ... with first tentative headlines: The novel coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS CoV-2) pandemic has been primarily 1 a fire drill - i.e. 'in case of emergency' (eg genetic, war, nuclear) - and lead to governments, internet media, and economies working together internally in all ~200 countries, and internationally too * * * I think this question of caring for Harbin Residents comes back to the state of California and Lake County as governmental entities in part ...

Regarding Second Life, which some of us (Peter Bothe, Anatoly, and I) visited in-world together yesterday, I think Minecraft has a more explicit relationship with Lego bricks. And with an interest in a realistic virtual earth with Lego Robotics, am appreciative of Brick Street View (where Brick refers to Lego brick) and its relationship with Google Street View, but none of them are far enough along yet, and esp. with regards to physical Lego Robotics' educational kits and even code-able with the free MIT Scratch visual programming language -

Hello M,

How are you faring regarding the coronavirus pandemic fire drill quarantine (I think)? That Norway and Denmark are moving on after the 'epidemic' is further evidence for this, to my way of thinking -

https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod/status/1247324352514650112?s=20 - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1247324560942182402?s=20 . How are you?



I thought I was going to have a piping lesson yesterday morning, but things are developing with Connor re next lessons now that this NPC series of lessons is almost over, so I took the opportunity to explore thinking and writing about further inspiration and vision in playing pipes and music  ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/lava-tubes-in-terms-of-vision.html?m=0 ... and they are inspiring ideas regarding my upcoming album as well. My piping is improving! (And Stuart Liddell who has taken a kind of long view, as well as connecting in Scottish piping groups is a model here too:) ... Check out the 'Ascension' video with Stuart Liddell in blog post where drummer Steven McWhirter is just a kid back in 2005, and is still Stuart's lead drummer, and very skillful. Am finding thinking and daily writing inspiring as well - much in blog - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/.

Appreciating the making of these art, programming, and creating resources online on Twitter -

https://twitter.com/scratch/status/1247593755386863616?s=20 - which relate to connecting further ... 

I'm curious about coding with Scratch programming language some of the fish in Google Smart TV in a realistic photo just earlier :) ... as well as entering into the Google Smart TV photos INTO a realistic virtual earth at the Street View, cellular and atomic levels - and with Google Poly! 

Seems like the following could be 'imagined' in a Lacanian sense - 

"Why a traumatized nation is having trouble staying home:
The potential consequences of non-compliance are being outweighed by the human desire to find comfort from loneliness and feelings of helplessness by gathering in groups" ( https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/04/07/opinion/why-traumatized-nation-is-having-trouble-staying-home/ )

- but am appreciating its thinking, and re troop bonding (a John Money exigencies of being human word - http://scottmacleod.com/JohnMoneyConceptsOfDeterminism.html and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2010/05/sweet-birch-questions-of-determinism-on.html - even, re emotions, in this curious coronavirus 'meme' induced time), and the words 'comfort,' loneliness, of helplessness, and gathering in groups. Am appreciating too Yogini Angela Farmer's explorations of emotions - https://angela-victor.com/content/who-are-we-anyway and https://angela-victor.com/angela-farmer - as well as the Desiderata - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html - and Pin's call yesterday, and all regarding ongoing generation of my big projects, (i.e. universities / wiki schools, as well as my virtual - actual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic projects, 4 books, upcoming bagpiping album, - and teaching about the information age. (George A's thinking is relevant here too ... as are the prospects of raising a family even). Appreciating the knowledge from psychology and related from the past ~100 years, - and synthesized too by the excellence of thinking of George Alexander, for example, but many others. In what ways will avatar bots become successful therapists, and similar, I wonder, too - language-wise, as well as interactively with humans - and with excellence? :) 

... (after next virtual Harbin book?) Am appreciating too actual Harbin, actual Stanford, the actual beauty of Canyon (albeit am wary of its culture for raising kids) and actual California weather, but think actual Pittsburgh, PA, and MA - Massachusetts, too, - could be healthier for family generation, esp. if we figure out aging reversal and all live a very long time. 

Realizing my big project regarding remuneration could be significant in all of the above as well, Ma!
Am hoping you had a good day. Talk with you soon!

Love, Scott

Dear Dick, Lucy, Ma, Ann, and Alden,

How are you faring regarding the fire drill coronavirus pandemic quarantine (I think)? That Norway and Denmark are moving on after the 'epidemic' is further evidence for this, to my way of thinking - https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod/status/1247324352514650112?s=20 - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1247324560942182402?s=20 . How are you?

This seems significant regarding the November election:"Sanders drops out of presidential race, making Biden the Democrats’ presumptive nominee" -
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/04/08/nation/bernie-sanders-drops-out-presidential-race/

Massachusett's
J. P. Gownder @jgownder · 5h
"I'm a leftist. The very progressive left: Green New Deal, M4All, UBI, a whole bunch of social democracy.
I'm also a pragmatist who fears for democracy itself right now.
Being Bernie or Bust doesn't make you a better leftist than me. It just makes you a less practical one."
> https://twitter.com/jgownder/status/1247930459331465216?s=20

(I looked up M4All, and found that it refers to Medicines for All).
Yet, again - The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe · 6h
"Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders announced Wednesday that he is dropping out of the Democratic presidential race"
> https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe/status/1247909223511588869?s=20

Could B.S.'s heart disease have lead to this decision in part? I think a Biden / Warren ticket (if possible) has just improved its chances in the November election.

One question I haven't explored explicitly in now 27 blog posts about the coronavirus pandemic is whether it could be a massive disinformation campaign, which this fascinating55 minutes' interview, that John Palfrey shared on Twitter this morning - "Social Media & Internet Law: A Discussion With Kate Klonick" ... https://twitter.com/jpalfrey/status/1247935249134292992?s=20 - lead me to inquire about. And I wonder about this in terms of the memes (replicating cultural units) of a 'radical action' (perhaps to address the following 5 issues - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/himalyan-monal-how-are-harbin-hot.html ) - too, as well as an exercise in learning about how successfully to create a directed or focused internet viral 'meme" (imitable word as meme here - "coronavirus") - and in order to study these processes academically too.

But I do here now - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/leopard-frog-fascinating-interview-with.html.

Dr. Tony Fauci MD seems to be communicating successfully and top-expertly regarding the American people navigating this Covid-19 pandemic - and even acting in a way as a very public psychiatrist for Pres rump. Am curious to what degree one could attribute our upturned American society to T's (not good) mental health in some ways too.

In the above blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/leopard-frog-fascinating-interview-with.html - I also explore much else including ways of thinking about the coronavirus pandemic emotionally, and continuing to navigate with agency in our upturned society or world. What do you think?

And how are you doing/ Thinking of you, and would love to hear from you.

Fondly, Scott
