Hi Mwende (& thanks for letting me know just now which name you prefer), Larry, All,

Again, please send in the UNDERGRADUATE CC-4 OCW.MIT.EDU courses from here - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/ - which you'd like to take in the first semester, Mwende, and your transcripts.


AGAIN, too - 

Thanks for your response, Mwende, and in your 'Inquiry' email thread - 

"Thank you Mr Scott.

What if I want to take the Bachelor's degree in WUaS?"

... please send in the OCW.MIT.EDU courses you'd like to take in the first semester, Volcano, and your transcripts.

Mwend, WUaS is seeking in the future to develop a relationship with Google, and to offer a 4-year free-to-students' Bachelor's Degree, emerging from something like these 4 courses - 

(which courses you and your teachers will also find here - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/11/112121-agenda-and-news-for-1-world-univ.html - in the 11/21/21 WUaS Agenda & News)

Would you be interested in starting this course, in January, in English, if WUaS can develop this partnership with Google, if World Univ & Sch can partner with them?

Best, Scott

Hallo Peter, how are you? What are you thinking about these days, IT-wise, and otherwise too? Out of the blue prediction: that Harvard will be mostly Muslim-Irish, academic faculty-wise, by 2060, with a significant Corp of these, Turkish-German scientists, Black-American Muslims esp (emerging from Malcolm X thinking, and who learned to play the STEM Brain game ... And mostly living in not only Cambridge MA itself, but also Somerville, and Braintree, and other areas south of Boston. What are your thoughts about this? :) Angela Merkel away from the chancellorship in early December ... And Germany World Univ & Sch auf Deutsch ahead altogether now ?:) https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Germany (Psychiatry at WUaS wiki school planned with AI Chat Bot software had been coming up in Google vSearch sometimes - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - but neither Germany nor Psychiatry at WUaS came up today). Hoping this finds you well, Peter! Friendly Regards,  Scott

Hello David, how are you? What are you teaching and thinking about these days, IT-wise, and otherwise too? Out of the blue prediction: that Harvard will be mostly Muslim-Irish, academic faculty-wise, by 2060, with a significant Corp of these, Turkish-German scientists, and with Black-American Muslims esp, (emerging from Malcolm X thinking, and who learned to play the STEM Brain game ... And mostly living in not only Cambridge MA itself, but also Somerville, and Braintree, and other areas south of Boston (slightly warmer than north of Boston, per Frost too:).

Who could have predicted the freedom seeking movements of the 1960s & '70s in the 20s or 30s (also a question for history - who did predict the hippie countercultural streams of the '60s & 1970s)? Anyone you can think of, David?



*

India-meditators-Muslim-Irish in that majority of Harvard academic Faculty in 2060 to make more precise this humorous prediction, David (with India-Muslim-Scottish-English-Dutch-American marriages too in large measures?):) Am seeking I think to learn from Anke and Susan and Anke re connecting attraction ... But with aging reversal genetic drug therapies emerging we may be able to have many families into the future, David! 🙂

David, How are you? Would you like to attend a virtual Thanksgiving at 12 noon PT Thursday, with Zoom invitation from my mother to come:)>?

I'd like to share again the invitation from my mother (who is now en route to Portland, Maine, where she will participate from - and am glad Sandy and she will be celebrating together family-wise from Maine), to us all -

Hi Scott,

Thank you both. That would be wonderful. I look forward to it!

Hello hello!  Just arrived Princeton to regale some grad students about Yemen.  Will see how it goes!  Still heavy travel on my end.  How's life?  Phone call soon!

Wow Prof Tym Lenderking (of the US State Dept presently) ... What's your vision democracy and STEM-wise for all 26 Arabic language mostly Muslim countries in 2055? ... Who could have predicted the freedom seeking movements of the 1960s & '70s in the '20s or 30s (also a question for history - who did predict the hippie countercultural streams of the '60s & 1970s)?

I haven't met her yet :) (a wonderful friend with whom to begin a family) How's life, Tym? :)

Hi Jim,


Thanks so much for your email again.

I don't know if the following books would be of help to you, or not, but I'm going to check out "Klara and the Sun" by Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro - 
AAAB

I have no idea how I'll find an attractive radiant (earth mother Scottish-backgound) 26 yo MD with a safe house to live with near Stanford, but I'm circulating. 

Teaching meditation re a number of different (Yogic) modalities would could help people a lot, in a service science way esp. CC-4 OCW.mit.edu -centric wiki World University and School will help with this ...

What do you think? ...

5 books I loved reading this year

Newsletter cover image

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with science fiction. Paul Allen and I would spend countless hours discussing Isaac Asimov’s original Foundation trilogy. I read every book by Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert Heinlein. (The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress was a particular favorite.) There was something so thrilling to me about these stories that pushed the limits of what was possible.

As I got older, I started reading a lot more non-fiction. I was still interested in books that explored the implications of innovation, but it felt more important to learn something about our real world along the way. Lately, though, I’ve found myself drawn back to the kinds of books I would’ve loved as a kid.

My holiday reading list this year includes two terrific science fiction stories. One takes place nearly 12 light-years away from our sun, and the other is set right here in the United States—but both made me think about how people can use technology to respond to challenges. I’ve also included a pair of non-fiction books about cutting-edge science and a novel that made me look at one of history’s most famous figures in a new light.

I read a lot of great books this year—including John Doerr’s latest about climate change—but these were some of my favorites.

A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence, by Jeff Hawkins. Few subjects have captured the imaginations of science fiction writers like artificial intelligence. If you’re interested in learning more about what it might take to create a true AI, this book offers a fascinating theory. Hawkins may be best known as the co-inventor of the PalmPilot, but he’s spent decades thinking about the connections between neuroscience and machine learning, and there’s no better introduction to his thinking than this book.

The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race, by Walter Isaacson. The CRISPR gene editing system is one of the coolest and perhaps most consequential scientific breakthroughs of the last decade. I’m familiar with it because of my work at the foundation—we’re funding a number of projects that use the technology—but I still learned a lot from this comprehensive and accessible book about its discovery by Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues. Isaacson does a good job highlighting the most important ethical questions around gene editing.

Klara and the Sun, by Kazuo Ishiguro. I love a good robot story, and Ishiguro’s novel about an “artificial friend” to a sick young girl is no exception. Although it takes place in a dystopian future, the robots aren’t a force for evil. Instead, they serve as companions to keep people company. This book made me think about what life with super intelligent robots might look like—and whether we’ll treat these kinds of machines as pieces of technology or as something more.

Hamnet, by Maggie O’Farrell. If you’re a Shakespeare fan, you’ll love this moving novel about how his personal life might’ve influenced the writing of one of his most famous plays. O’Farrell has built her story on two facts we know to be true about “The Bard”: his son Hamnet died at the age of 11, and a couple years later, Shakespeare wrote a tragedy called Hamlet. I especially enjoyed reading about his wife, Anne, who is imagined here as an almost supernatural figure.

Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir. Like most people, I was first introduced to Weir’s writing through The Martian. His latest novel is a wild tale about a high school science teacher who wakes up in a different star system with no memory of how he got there. The rest of the story is all about how he uses science and engineering to save the day. It’s a fun read, and I finished the whole thing in one weekend.
