Hi David,

You sound busy! Nice to hear from you too.

Glad too to have heard this conversation on free speech. Am an appreciator of Rebecca MacKinnon's and John Palfrey's thinking :) 

I think it may have been recorded. Rebecca I think said it was going to be. Too bad Cecilia Kang dropped at the the last minute. It would be interesting to view again - I may - with formulating specific questions about implications of free speech and internet platforms beforehand - since most current questions, legally and societally (and partly regarding the course I teach - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html) would be answered in the conversation. 

They got to most of the audience questions, but not mine -

What are some of the implications of free speech in this digital world, and the upcoming Biden administration, in all ~200 countries, and in their official / main languages, and regarding developing law? Thank you, Scott (World Univ & Sch is planning online law schools in all ~200 countries ~ https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - worlduniversityandschool.org - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch)

Fondly,
Scott
New Scottish Small Piping album 'Honey in the Bag' emerging on the helpful free to musicians' Bandcamp platform -  

Are you playing guitar these days at home? :)

Hi Ma,

How are you?

Just added 2 further tunes to my developing Scottish Small Pipes' album bringing the number to 14 out of probably 38 tunes - 
https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/

It's a creative process, and interesting goal to make an album, and record & add these tunes too, and they sound nice, and I'm learning and playing more as I go. For the elation, heightened, musical aspect, I'm aiming to play them at the upper end of these tempo ranges -

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/western-honey-bee-re-my-upcoming-honey.html - and except for the jigs so far (120 bpm is upper end) which I played at 108 bpm (lower end) I've been playing them fairly up-tempo. (TEMPO is a little GOAL re items 2 & 3 http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm). And I've already taken private lessons with Connor Sinclair earlier this year, per item 1 - and at some point I'll return to these lesson video recordings. I'm focusing a bit further too on concentration per item 4 in a new way. All these items are helpful thinking points re playing music in general and as I develop my album. 

Will play a little Piobaireachd this evening, and in preparation for giving a lesson tomorrow. 

Glad to be making progress but in developing 200 ONLINE medical schools in collaborating with Project ECHO in New Mexico / Stanford, and my educational project.

Glad too to have heard the conversation on free speech. Am an appreciator of Rebecca MacKinnon's and John Palfrey's thinking :) did you hear this? 

Heading out for a walk soon ... Did you get out today? 

I may circle around to these Guidelines (which I wrote) in a whole different vein -
Guidelines for Practicing Loving Bliss v-a-v a Musical Instrument 

Love, Scott

Hi Ma, 


Good to talk! I'm missing friend and Lacanian Psychiatrist George Alexander MD's conversation, from which I learned. Am whistle-blowing in an ongoing way about the SF Quaker Meeting, and potentially the illegal sex trade ... as potentially sad and tragic as this might be. Was David Matchett co-opted too (his brother died not too long ago) ... and the last day I was there some years ago, I think Trader Joe's was somehow involved in the time after meeting, when a ploy to exploit kids may have been happening. Whether to boycott TJs ... Am curious to try to navigate ethics apart from J'ethics ... and while it may not be easy, networking in other ways could have much merit in these regards too. Even the conversation between John Palfrey and Rebecca MacKinnon, when John mentioned becoming trickier twice early in the conversation, raised my ethical antennae re the illegal sex trade, unfortunately, and while when I whistle-blew about the SF Quaker Meeting loudly some years ago (albeit I didn't call the SF police - and I should have in retrospect now, after calling the Moraga police this summer), I cited a Boston Globe article about what I whistle blew about which he had posted on his Twitter feed at the time, written by 5 authors. 

Boycotting, and networking in new directions, can have merit ... am appreciative of the role of culture too in regards to ethics, and ethics in regards to culture ... whether it be UU, Quaker (both with a kind of Christian focus, but unprogrammed in the latter sense) or Yogic (Angela?) or individually philosophical ...or Lacanian, or meditation oriented re individualism ... just some thoughts (and further ethical whistle-blowing ... ) as I seek to grow my big projects ... 

You might enjoy my email to David Thurston below ... re changing this focus (or re a kind of compartmentalization, a George word ... and regarding becoming more sophisticated too, an idea I learned from George as well). I find writing, conversation (and playing music at times can help) as well ... and friendship especially. 

Love, Scott

Hi Ma, 


I went out for a walk without my smartphone for the first time - since it was charging, and I wanted to experiment being without it, and re what information I might share unknowingly with the internet providers - and walked only for about a mile ... seeking to whistle-blow to end the harm (re illegal sex trade??? and SF Quaker Meeting... .... and the Meeting did nothing to address this ... ) too  ... Potentially ... In the law, the role of the perpetrator is significant here ... And as you may have noticed in some emails, I continue to seek to develop online psychiatry for such issues and in collaboration with health organizations outside California even ... such as possibly Friends Hospital in Philadelphia ... Should I call the SF police at this stage about the crimes at the SF Quaker Meeting? It's probably too late ... But there's a lot of mental illness in the SF Quaker Meeting ... George, uniquely, may have had great thinking about such issues, in a way that his wife wouldn't curiously ... 

Back to the hope I mentioned before ... re becoming more sophisticated ... and also re the law ... and what I wrote in my last email ... 

Boycotting, and networking in new directions, can have merit ... am appreciative of the role of culture too in regards to ethics, and ethics in regards to culture ... whether it be UU, Quaker (both with a kind of Christian focus, but unprogrammed in the latter sense) or Yogic (Angela?) or individually philosophical ... or Lacanian thinking, or meditation oriented re individualism ... just some thoughts (and further ethical whistle-blowing ... ) as I seek to grow my big projects ...

Good morning, Ma! How are you? 


. . .

As you observed some years ago, I'll know it, naturally, when I meet my life partner, - and does this pandemic make things more interesting? Or is it complicating too since it could go on for years to come?

Would love to bring a life partner 'home' (in video conferencing) for Xmas ... And the Swedish model regarding the covid-19 pandemic seems to un-complicate this scenario re today's headline - 

"The Governor of the Riksbank warns of the climate threat: The economic risks of the climate crisis are getting closer, says Anna Breman" ... 
https://www.dn.se/ekonomi/riksbankstopp-varnar-for-klimathotet-risker-som-kommer-allt-narmare/ (and see Obama article about Greta Thunberg's generation - re even risk assessment thinking, and that Anders  Tegnell's popularity remains high https://twitter.com/maddysavage/status/1332597708620644352?s=19 
(Swedish exceptionalism? ... and conditions that enhance trust – here defined as the perceived trustworthiness of an average individual ... Different from 'American exceptionalism') ... but I live in California ... 

. . . 

Glad to have heard from David 😌 Thurston ... shall we invite him to an online Xmas? (Interesting that Anders Tegnell married a Dutch woman and they have 3 children - and re Swedish societal norms ...)

What are you up to this weekend, Ma ? Will you head over to Jean's? Appreciating your Pittsburgh sociality (in this media-storm which may be generated to 'clean things up'?)

Time to head back to sleep :) 

Love, Scott

Hi Ma,

First time I've actually tried on the kilt socks - and on a slightly cloudy day (possibly good for pics) with the Golden Gate Bridge visible in the background, I put on my kilt (from 1975 or '76 or so!!!:), my vest, hose, and dress shoes, and just shot about 50 pics in a series for piping tracks for upcoming Scottish Small Pipes' "Honey in the Bag" album (possibly for each of the roughly 38 planned tracks).

The one I'm attaching is the most dynamic :)


Now I have to make them all at least  1400 x 1400 per Bandcamp requirements (so 1400 x 2100 pixels, per what comes out of the Photo Booth app, which I also auto-flipped, so images are no longer reversed  ... https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/ ... all a big experiment ... 

Thanks so much for facilitating such a great repair of my kilt socks! When the 'old lady in the shoe-house' in Auckland, NZ, knit them in 24 or 48 hours (an amazing feat, so to write, from my perspective), I asked her to make them different lengths due to my differing leg lengths, and this most recent repair made them more similar in length, but still slightly different, all of which is great. Nice repair! Thank you!

Love, Scott
May even add the pic I'm sending you to - http://scottmacleod.com/piping.htm :)

A Friendly concern


Ma, 

here the 2 emails I sent recently to the following Friends recently, in a thread entitled "A Friendly concern": 

Sending love, Scott


Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@gmail.com>

Fri, Dec 11, 9:01 PM (23 hours ago)
to Jerry, paxson, David, Eric, Brian, Brig, Caleb, Bob, Rolene
David (Matchett), (and Jerry, Heather, Eric, Bob, Brigitte, Caleb, Rolene & Brian - most all Friends I think), 

Am concerned, David' that you didn't address my being sexually assaulted by a ~12 year old in the SF QUAKER MEETING, on one of the last days I attended Friends' Meeting there, and also SFFM's Ministry and Counsels' asking to meet with me in a park on Skyline Drive in the East Bay, and then seeming to seek to co-opt me into what seems like it might be an illegal sex ring in the SF Quaker Meeting and possibly throughout Pacific Yearly Meeting, and in other Quaker organizations too, like Friends General Conference. Are the perpetrators of this either seeing out of state MD psychiatrists, or in prison? Is the ~12 yo (at the time) seeing a MD psychiatrist, POSSIBLY VIRTUALLY out of Friends' Hospital in Philadelphia? And are you going through psychoanalysis with an out of state licensed MD psychiatrist, as well? Is it working? Is this Quaker illegal sex ring, potentially involving kids too, stopped? Is the mental illness in the SF Quaker Meeting being addressed - with psychiatry, and licensed professional talk therapists, and even possibly out of Stanford Medicine too for its excellence? 

What happened, David? So sorry for the victims, and their ruined lives!!? What can be done to stop it if it's ongoing!

Sorry too for the recent death of your brother, Stephen, and hope any secrets he might have had, can be brought to light in these regards, re both the law, and changing this unFriendly culture. Time for legal action, and internationally even? 

No apologies for whistleblowing about all of this however, then or now (if it can help prevent further victims and harm) - and hoping to do so even more loudly than before to effect any necessary change. I suppose it's a further Friendly leading, and regarding the history of conscientious objection by Friends. 

Non-theistic Friendly greetings,
Scott




Hi Friends, David (Matchett), (and Jerry Gabay, Heather Paxson, Eric Myer, Bob Kovsky, Brigitte Alexander, Caleb Alexander MD, Rolene Walker & Brian Seilstad & Mary Colleen Klein, editor of "Western Friend" - most all Friends I think), 

I'm writing to follow up on my email of last night - and with my unfolding Friendly concern. As I shared with my mother last night in email before emailing you: 


"Ma,

From neighboring Norwegian paper re Tegnell's thinking and 'Swedish exceptionalism' ... :) (Kinda funny:) ... Needs Google Translate to read this ... 

He believes that it is not Sweden that is different, but the neighboring countries



Time to boycott Trader Joe"s due to their involvement in the illegal sex trade, and even holocaustically with kids?? ... And from what I learned that last Sunday I attended the Quaker Meeting in SF Friends' Meeting a few years ago, when Trader Joe's was mentioned in the context of a kind of what seemed like a ploy to get kids on to adults' laps in the middle of a circle of Meeting Room chairs (with David Matchett sitting right next to me)? ARE David Matchett and the Quaker Meeting itself benefiting financially from this??? And Eric Myer, the lawyer who went to Haverford too? And the MIT and UC Berkeley Law graduate BK who seemed to try to coopt me on Skyline Drive, who told me about his incestuous desires for his 5-10 yo niece?  ... IS some of ALL OF Pacific Yearly Meeting involved? NPYM too? And Quakers too in Friends General Conference (re a call I received some years ago when I was in the CoHo Cafe at Stanford)? What might have happened to them that they might carry on this form too of slavery potentially ...even a kind of violence (or warfare even)? Why are the potential perpetrators not seeing psychiatrists or in prison - and in all countries are involved ? And why is social change for the better not happening? Time to boycott Trader Joe's? C'est possible ... How could we stop this? 

Perhaps I should include in this email Friends' Brian Seilstad and MIT Professor Heather Paxson ... "

D, are you seeing a psychiatrist about this - and given that a ~12 year old sexually assaulted me on one of the last Sunday's I was at the SF Quaker Meeting? Should I report this incident to the SF Police at this stage of this series of developments - and as a member of the SF Quaker Meeting (having transferred my membership from the Edinburgh Central Meeting, in Scotland, to SFFM some years ago).

Is it time to initiate a worldwide boycott of Trader Joe's among unprogrammed Quakers, regarding a question of the illegal sex trade, kids, and industry - and how to prevent further victims into the future, if at all possible? 

And yet perhaps Covid-19 is changing the whole scenario in the physical SF Quaker Meeting for the time being, but which dynamic above potentially could begin - or is still happening in ongoing ways - as the Covid-19 pandemic threat seems to subside. 

Friendly greetings, Scott 






Ma, 

As a follow up, you'll find here the email from Brigitte - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/03/pan-troglodyte-pan-paniscus-online-md.html - part way down, about some of this. 

Love, Scott

Dear Jerry, Heather, David, Eric, Bob, Brigitte, Caleb, Rolene & Brian & Mary - most all Friends I think), 

As a follow-up, I've added these 3 emails in this "A Friendly concern" thread here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/echinacea-purpurea.html. Regarding speaking truth to power, am still concerned about what might unfold in terms of the illegal sex trade (and even with indsustry) in the SF Quaker Meeting - and regarding even potential interweaving illegal sex rings - after the covid-19 pandemic threat subsides. 

Am wondering whether online MD psychiatry could come to play a much more significant role among Quakers:

Dear Jerry, Heather, David, Eric, Bob, Brigitte, Caleb, Rolene & Brian & Mary - most all Friends I think), 

As I was sending this earlier this morning, I heard one fire truck emergency sound pass on the street, and am concerned too about the networks of IT platforms that could be possible accomplices - like Google Maps with Emergency Vehicles - in these potential illegal sex trade networks, somewhat placed based. Am living presently in a safe house, potentially due to one such heinous network, and calling the local police twice, and making 3 police reports. This potentially could have been an entree to federal authorities furthering possible inquiries. 

Friendly greetings. Scott

Ma, 


Re gloves, possibly, too ... 
(and regarding being sexually assaulted by a 12 year old too at the SF Quaker Meeting about 4 years ago) ... 

I'm in what I'll call a safe house now  north of Berkeley due to potentially interweaving illegal sex rings re an illegal sex ring, and potentially illegal sex trade, (at San Francisco Quaker Meeting possibly sanctioned by the thinkers there somehow ... like DM I'd hypothesize, and BK??) - and has nothing changed but Covid-19 temporarily? ... And is this even connected with industry - TJs??? - scarily and horrifically. (I'll share the 2 emails I've sent recently to David Matchett, Brigitte Alexander, Caleb Alexander MD, and other Quakers across the country) .. And was all this possibly complicated by mental health issues from someone from a different country working out of San Francisco Friends Meeting, at the time, and a number of others in the SF Meeting's mental health issues?  .. Speaking truth to power (of industry even), via writing, is a Friendly approach OF PROTEST and effecting social change ... Am CONSIDERing CALLING for a boycott of TJs re my conscientious objection as I document this further in writing, - or might it even be a teaching opportunity? ... And would it be possible to move back into Canyon (and re another possible illegal sex ring in the SF Bay Area) however with the help of others ... and regarding eliminating or lessening significantly such potential criminality, and even internationally? Brig's email to me and Caleb about some of this from a few months ago to come too. ... If you goofed too

I think communication and good ethics, and law abidance ahead and doing the right thing are good ways to proceed, thoughtfully :) "The future is a head!" What do you think? 

Thanks for your gloves' email ... 

Sending love, Scott

Hi David, 

Here's the Free Speech video conversation by the brilliant Rebecca MacKinnon and John Palfrey (which I attended)
"How should the new administration protect free speech and democracy in our digital world?"
https://youtu.be/c3RQUs8v1Rc
out of the University of California office in Washington DC of all places. 


And it's here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/echinacea-purpurea.html - I explore even boycotting TJ, re speaking truth to power, yet am wondering about a teaching opportunity too, as well as documenting some issues in the SF Quaker Meeting. 

That written, am seeking to increase the number of fruits, grains, vegetables and legumes I eat a day, from 5-9, to even 5-12, thinking about your upcoming procedure. And while, as an ovo-lacto vegetarian, who eats a fair amount of low fat TJ vegetarian food these days, I've found my physical body to be fairly healthy as a consequence (re my observations of myself as a kind of 'test animal'). And I wonder whether the node on your back could be diet related re your upcoming procedure, and am wishing the best in it. 

Looking forward to seeing you over Xmas. 

Merry Christmas!
