Dear Wilson, (and friends), 


Greetings and how are you? I've unsubscribed you, Wilson. 

I am still developing what's emerging from what I wrote in my virtual St. Kilda M.Sc. paper (see resources below), in the School of Scottish and Celtic Studies at the moment, - with my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project (having written a large ethnographic book about Harbin in 2016 - http://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity - in a new Academic Press at World University, planned in all 7,139 known living languages with machine learning and translation). This includes an actual-virtual realistic virtual earth - 
https://twitter.com/WUaSPress/status/1378397513674235905?s=20 - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLanguages?src=hashtag_click for all languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages (7,139 known living languages per Ethnologue), with avatar bots (think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate, and realistic avatar bots like Samsung Neons, or artificial humans, perhaps Google-made). These languages include the Scottish_Gaelic_language wiki subject page for open teaching and learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic_language (planned in Scottish Gaelic), and the Scots_language wiki subject or school - the https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scots_language (planned in Scots). These languages would be accessible at Scotland World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scotland, and eventually in a realistic virtual Earth for Scotland - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click - where one could just enter into this virtual reality and interact with people, from a time in history even, and which would be iterating in an ongoing way, based on evidence and research.

CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is growing! Best wishes to you and the School of Scottish and Celtic Studies (Gary West, Abigail Burnyeat, John Shaw, Donald Meek, Neill Martin, and others). I created my first Scottish Small Pipes' album of light music (Ceol Beag) last year, and am planning to create my first album of Piobaireachd (Ceol Mor) potentially by year's end. Glad to be taking lessons with the great PM Stuart Liddell in Argyllshire presently. And World Univ & Sch  is seeking Fettes College (where I studied in the first year 6th form in 1977-78 students to matriculate online at WUaS for free-to-students' online CC-4 OCW-centric Bachelor, & PhD degrees, and eventually law and MD degrees too, in the New Year and beyond, first in English, then potentially in Scottish Gaelic if helpful and with AI machine translation, and machine learning).

Looking forward to staying in communication - potentially on Twitter!

Friendly greetings, Scott 
PS
There are many collaboration possibilities with WUaS for the University of Edinburgh, the University of Highlands and Islands (UHI), and Cambridge, Harvard, and Haverford, too, with WUaS's computer science and STEM CC-4 MIT OCW-focus -

St. Kilda resources, for virtual Hirta ... 

"Revisited St. Kilda, Scotland (Hirta) online this time in Google Streetview this morning and saw a whole different approach to visiting St. Kilda virtually here - https://www.google.com/maps/place/St.+Kilda/@57.8134608,-8.5837917,12z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x48f2bdd95ed8e8b1:0xbba46c78233a434d!2sSt.+Kilda!3b1!8m2!3d57.8364967!4d-8.5635441!3m4!1s0x48f2bdd95ed8e8b1:0xbba46c78233a434d!8m2!3d57.8364967!4d-8.5635441 - compared with visiting nascent virtual St. Kilda in 2003-2004 here - http://www.kilda.org.uk/ - which web site hasn't changed all that much in about 15 years (just seem to need to use Safari browser, and accept the use of using the "Flash Player" - possibly for security reasons too, as well as needing a dated Quicktime 7 player to view the 360 degree Quicktime movie(s) of St. Kilda); also the guest book which once listed signers' email addresses doesn't seem to list these anymore."

Regarding the aging reversal genetic drug therapies that World Univ & Sch continues to explore and think about ()in Agenda item 13 and 14 i here -  https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/09/eriogonum-alpinum-91821-agenda-and-news.html) - Is this picture old & suggestive of the POTENTIAL of #AgingReversal & #GeneticEngineering, or a real experiment


Hi Ma, Sandy, Ed, All, 


It's a bit socked in here presently - there's a kind of a wall of fog making Brooks Island Regional Preserve visible and the slightly farther out Angel Island barely visible - and regarding the aging reversal genetic drug therapies that World Univ & Sch continues to explore and think about ()in Agenda item 13 and 14 i here -  https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/09/eriogonum-alpinum-91821-agenda-and-news.html), I just Tweeted (and regarding the drosophila flies experimental animals picture in the WUaS Tweet below) - 

Is this picture old & suggestive of the POTENTIAL of #AgingReversal & #GeneticEngineering, or a real experiment https://twitter.com/CynDils70/status/1317594584323674113?s=20 ?

If it's real, it's pretty dramatic ... but not FDA tested, and regarding the bodymind as a whole, and regarding the long term, - and we still don't know whatsoever, as far as I know, how to extend the human species past 122 years of age (eg Jeanne Calment, the longest documented living person in France, now deceased in the 1990s I think).  Caveat emptor, and far-reaching philosophical skepticism have much merit here. Very speculatively, if this first picture is real, and it could be a relative, or similar, who's a geneticist scientist, or similar, experimenting, this could be ethical, fascinating, a remarkable learning opportunity ... with many many risks. 

Just found this 1st picture on Twitter in the #AgingReversal Hashtag ...

Looks like there's an opportunity for me to give a talk at the Harvard Medical School in November - 

https://twitter.com/jponnela/status/1431351496013238281?s=20
- and perhaps regarding the Minutes, Agenda and News, and blog label for a realistic virtual earth for genetics, for example - with an abstract due by my brother, Sandy's birthday! Happy upcoming birthday, Sandy, - and many happy returns :)

Cheers, Scott
Socked in blog post
