June 11: Reed Legal Network Virtual Meet and Greet
https://events.reed.edu/event/reed_legal_network_virtual_meet_and_greet


Dear Avy and David, and Reed Legal Network, 

Thanks so much for your excellent Reed Legal Network talks just now.

With your FinTech experience, Avy, and your US government and courts' experience, David, let's stay in touch about UBI experiment questions, & regarding the word 'universal' & regarding too the Euro in 19 out of 28 nation states; am thinking in terms of ~200 countries’ official languages too as Law Schools https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School (accessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States, each to become major online universities) to facilitate and teach about UBI experiments in the public interest even. 

Wikdata, by the way, is Wikipedia's 'back end' structured knowledge database, and in ~300 languages, a great start for coding for speakers of all 7,117 known living languages at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and regarding online law schools in all ~200 countries' official / main languages. 


Thanks, Amy, Darlene, Andrew, and everyone so much!

Reed regards, Scott

PS
I've blogged much about UBI experiments here in recent years - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/UBI - and regarding matriculating students at World Univ & Sch from all ~200 countries, each a Wikidata Q-item # or preferably, a Wikidata PIN #, - and then speakers of all 7,117 known living languages, a Wikidata PIN #, and then, brainstorming-wise, all 7.5 billion people on the planet a Wikidata PIN #. (World Univ & Sch, of which I'm the founder and head, donated itself to Wikidata as "back end" for co-development, in 2015, and got the "front end" WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - but they aren't yet interoperable). UBI experiments would partly be for distributing a single cryptocurrency, with block chain ledger, backed by some number of their central banks, to people in all ~200 countries, in order to alleviate poverty. All this could involve, too, bringing the Federal Reserve together with the European Central Bank with the MIT Digital Currency Initiative, of which the Executive Director is Neha Narula, and with lawyers and congresspeople in the US government (hence my email to you). (Here are 5 initial reasons that WUaS seeks to code for all 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata PIN # - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html).

PPS
Also, World Univ & Sch would seek for the WUaS Law Faculties in all ~200 countries' official languages to teach about single cryptocurrency, for example, and perhaps faculty and students could also help code for it, in a variety of ways:


Law Schools at World University and School (planned in main languages in them)
PPPS
A WUaS Law School in Oregon too? 

How might we explore this further? 


Thanks again so much, David and Avy, and the Reed Legal Network.

NOTES and transcript:

Thanks, David, for your reply. Let's stay in touch abt FinTech UBI experiment questions, & regarding the word Universal & re the Euro in 19 out of 28 nation states; am thinking in terms of ~200 countries’ official langs too as Law Schs https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States Scott

(Thanks, Avy - will email you further about some related UBI experiment questions … and regarding the word Universal - and re the Euro - in 19 out of 28 nation states; am thinking in terms of ~200 countries’ official languages too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - each a major University with a law school). Thank you, Avy!

Would love to follow up with you too, David, given your great US govt. experience, about UBI experiments. Thanks for talking today! - Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)

How can I help / Why would you like to meet?: Talk about edX & World Univ & Sch, & today's Open edX questions
Scott GK MacLeod and Marco Morales




Hi Marco, 

Thanks for letting me know. And yes re-scheduling for next week would be great. I'm still unclear about whether I would invite you (with Google Meet, for ex. which WUaS is in) or you invite me to video-conference with Google Hangouts (per your calendar). 

Regarding, 
Meeting Goal - How can I help / Why would you like to meet?: Talk about edX & World Univ & Sch, & today's Open edX questions

Could we also please talk about the 6 WUaS majors WUaS seeks to offer, potentially via some edX courses (i.e. these 6 majors: 1) EECS, 2) General Engineering, 3) General Science, 4) English, 5) History, 6) Business - see: http://worlduniversityandschool.org/) to our matriculating WUaS undergraduates, about which I've communicated some with edX's CEO Anant Agarwal. (It would also be great to touch on a realistic virtual earth - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click - per your background image in the OpenEdX meeting yesterday, and regarding Ned Batchelder's observation that edX often integrates - and regarding too, conceptually, Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate, and even with realistic avatar bots - for STEM field sites, and for classrooms. And could we possibly please touch on also WUaS in the Spanish language via edX?).

Would 30 minutes be better to talk about all of the above, Marco (than 15 minutes)? And 12;45 pm ET / 9:45 am PT, Friday, June 19th? Shall I invite you from Google Meet to video, or will you invite me? 

Looking forward to communicating further about this in the meantime via email as well. Thank you, Marco!

Regards, 
Scott

World University & School is like Wikipedia in ~300 languages, with the best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare (OCW) in its current 4 languages. Glad WUaS just updated  both WINGS http://worlduniversityandschool.org & http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html

Hi Ma,

Good in some ways to connect with people at Reed and Shady Side. These cultures come through time. Am appreciative of George A's kids all going to diff Sch's than he & B went to, and to public schools for high school, & Henry Cutter going through SSA's 3 schools. All are high achievers.

Really good piping lesson again with Taylor, yesterday evening! Was out walking later after heading down thru beautiful valley on level road on other side of the massif - also after Shady Side Academy and Reed College Legal Network video meetings online today ... life partner meeting possibilities in both (but didn't meet her yesterday) & it could help if she lives in Bay Area!  ... will know it when I meet her as you observe ... how was your day ?

I have a new hummingbird friend on the far side of the massif, or one was feeding on orange flowers, aware of me, showing its red chest a bit, then sitting on a branch a minute later aware of me, as I then walked by ... I got the sense it was connecting and social even as it fed ... so I'm calling it a friend, :)... What is hummingbird consciousness (and regarding cattle or cow consciousness, philosophically in a sense? :)

Desiderata ahead - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html - as a kind of philosophy or guiding code even in this somewhat complex internet world, with my big interesting projects, (education/universities/schools, actual-virtual Harbin/earth/universe, bagpiping, book writing  ... Where is my beautiful, receptive friend who might become my life partner, and wife even, and for family, I'm continuing seeking, - a beautiful, radiant A or a S (of shared culture too) of today in Canyon to begin?

What are you up to this weekend? And how are you?

Sending love, Scott
