Scott MacLeod's Anthropology of Information Technology & Counterculture: Hypericum montanum: 11/20/21 WUaS Minutes - for A) N-p World University and School, and B) F-p WUaS Corporation WUaS Press

Greetings!, dear World Universitians, and friends,

Some breakthrough news:

The WUaS Corporation received and paid its very first tax bill, for 2018, 2019 and 2020, having incorporated as a for profit general stock company in California in 2017. Therein lies an opportunity for you. In these regards, WUaS is glad that chair of the WUaS Boards, and CFO, Larry Viehland is newly thinking of the WUaS Corporation as a good investment, and by mailing in $1,500 dollars to the WUaS Corporation (see the WUaS Corp Financial Report with the 11/20/21 WUaS Agenda and News), in exchange for 150 shares on a certificate, to the WUaS Corp (World Univ & Sch), PO Box 442, Canyon, CA, 94516. While it will be a while before WUaS can start to carry, for example, Toyota Research Institute robots as university teachers or for students learning machine learning from home, for a new kind of Socratic Dialogue, WUaS is excited about the prospects for personal robots - and for all 7.8 billion people. Since these TRI Teaching Robots aren't available yet, see -

And WUaS, again, is newly seeking to post the video recording of open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting (Nov 20, 2021) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i6M5m3P7GCvXFw-4qSosLyUhC4BG3ig6/view - on the day of open WUaS monthly business meeting in blogs http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/bee-balm.html -
https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/11/recording-of-worldunivandsch-wuaspress.html - on the 3rd Saturday of the month, as WUaS seeks to get out the Minutes with time. Again, WUaS welcomes a recording clerk to help develop this process, and please let WUaS know at Meeting@worlduniversityandschool.org if you know of someone who might be interested. Thank you.

Here are the 11/20/21 WUaS open Monthly Business Meeting Minutes for 1) World Univ & Sch's Monthly Business Meeting, & 2) the WUaS Corp. WUaS continues to plan for free-to-students' best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric online PhDs and Bachelor degrees beginning January 2022, in English, - and then in all ~200 countries and in their major languages, as well as for wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,139 living languages.

(a 501 c 3 nonprofit in the USA, and a non-profit also in the state of California, planned in each of ~200 countries, and in all 7,139 known living languages, and in all 'extinct' languages too, with machine learning for universities).

i) World University and School (2014 IRS ruling year as a 501 c 3 non-profit charity) continues to be having some trouble getting going financially, after about 14 or 15 years (since ~2007); with the recent ii) WUaS Corporation (2017 incorporation in California as a for profit general stock company with the state of CA / FTB) tax bill, and payment thereof, perhaps organizations will be able to help WUaS fundraise effectively, Could, for example, a Brakeley Briscoe Inc. - https://www.brakeleybriscoe.com - as 'fundraising pioneers' raise monies for i) World Univ & Sch, and get shares too from the ii) WUaS Corporation?

WUaS in Google Workspace for Education

In what ways can WUaS begin to add CC-4 OCW.mit.edu to WUaS Google Workspace for Education with TensorFlow AI, and make a great-for-the-student, 'Socratic Dialogue' conference method educational machine learning STEAM free-to-students' degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB high school degrees?

See, also -
Glad for WUaS to have attended the following

Google Cloud Government and Education Summit on November 3–4, 2021 -
https://cloudonair.withgoogle.com/events/cloud-govt-edu-summit?tab=default-tab&expand=module:global-keynote-agenda

Added this whole conference URL for viewing talks missed, in addition to these which WUaS saw -

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/trossachs-scotland_0332630067.html

If it were possible to collaborate further with Google Workspace for Education in a timely way, and with Google with its ~140,000 employees, -
when, hypothetically, would WUaS diverge from Google, and thus be able to hire our own WUaS faculty and staff, and since WUaS has no money to speak of whatsoever?

And if WUaS as a whole can hire 2.3 million people over time, how would WUaS best plan for hiring regarding 1) World Univ & Sch ? 800,000 people in 20 years, or sooner?

In addition, in what ways could WUaS begin to develop machine learning Project Managers, as Avatar Bots too, and to interact with many many interns, such as college and PhD students too?

(So, would WUaS as a whole aim for hiring about 1/3rd of these, so 800,000 people on the Academic Wing, and
- 2/3rds, so 1,500,000 people on the Industry wing - the WUaS Corporation - in Educational Services' stores, with an actual-virtual, physical-digital Big Box, Middle Box, Little Box retail strategy for online/on-the-ground Bookstores/Cafes, Computer Stores, Robotics' Stores, Hospital Technologies' Distribution centers?)

Build on Google's development in Australia with "a A$1B commitment in infrastructure, research ...

... in what ways could WUaS plan for coding with machine learning too, for the 'Australian students' mind' ... re cultural understandings, expectations, learning and creativity, and invite Australians to help in developing this ... with WUaS and on the WUaS Google Workspace for Education?

Could WUaS similarly, with Google, do this with Africa, and particularly at first for Cameroon, African, students? Could WUaS create a OCW.MIT.EDU-centric with Google for Education, an undergraduate, 1st year Bachelor's degree curriculum for this January 2022 - and even with Mwende in mind - and with live exciting and inspiring teachers in addition to the AI IT platform?

See, also -

In what ways could Google's development in Australia with "a A$1B commitment in infrastructure, research, and partnerships to help more Australians access the benefits of technology" work with World Univ & Sch (and the WUaS Corporation) regarding WUaS planning?

Sundar Pichai just Tweeted the following about Google's commitment to Australia, so further, how could WUaS collaborate with them, and regarding both 1) reimbursement on the WUaS non-profit side, from other countries' departments of Education, as well as 2) setting up Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital Educational Services' stores in all 200 countries ?

See, too:
Great @sundarpichai Wondering how this can be a model for @WorldUnivAndSch & @WUaSPress in all ~200 countries & in official & main languages, as online best STEM OCW.MIT.EDU -centric major universities, & as #WUaSEducationalServicesStores w Academic Press in 7k languages?

Aging reversal AND longevity genetics' questions at World Univ & Sch, and regarding also a single realistic virtual earth for genetics -

How best to facilitate developing a realistic virtual earth for genetics at the molecular and cell levels, in addition to the street view with time slider, including the PhenoType of all 3-100 million species' levels, and with a #FilmTo3D Application ... and potentially 'landing' in TensorFlowAI in Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate and with realistic avatar bot species and individuals? Can we time slide back our own aging reversal in a do it yourself way, and with Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital correspondences too?

How best to add back in Genes digitally, or virtually, and per - https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk ...

See, too
"Reversing aging was considered impossible until recently. But renowned scientist Dr. George Church says it's within our reach. He believes gene therapy holds the key to eliminating many of our toughest age-related chronic illnesses: diabetes, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, cognitive decline, and more.

New 'Hindustani classical music' wiki subject page with an invitation to teach to and learn from this, and all WUAS Wiki Subject schools, by clicking 'edit page' -

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hindustani_classical_music

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindustani_classical_music

Added these 2 following resources, plus a CC-4 MIT OCW course from Prof. George Ruckert, using once again the following citation practices:

Ruckert, George, with Hindole Majumdar. 2013. [https://youtu.be/qV28O7ggd1o George Ruckert (Sarod) with Hindole majumdar (Tabla) in MIT Boston]. April 10. (see, too - http://www.hindolemajumdar.com/about.php). Hindole4music: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-P8sxOOnl2Hh6L0TQdLsXQ.

MIT School of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences @MIT_SHASS. 2021. [https://twitter.com/MIT_SHASS/status/1461062341005660165 Take A Break: "Rag Shenan Mand" is a gorgeous East/West fusion of "Shenandoah" and Indian folk melodies, performed on the sarod (a 25-string lute) by the acclaimed MIT musician George Ruckert. Listen or download via the MIT Listening Room: http://bit.ly/2yOfqQO]. Nov 17. Cambridge, MA: https://twitter.com/MIT_SHASS/status/1461062341005660165.

Again,
In the 'Summary:' box, after editing, I wrote:
"Adding new 'Hindustani classical music' wiki subject in English, updated the links' URLs to other Indian Music wiki subject pages at WUaS too"

With the above Marketplace idea, on the WUaS Corporation wing, am figuring out how and where to wiki-add such resources, like the Hindole Majumdar Tabla and Hindustani music school website I found, for example -
http://www.hindolemajumdar.com/about.php

- and regarding planning for the 'World_University_Music_School' -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School

Am still not clear how to integrate the Marketplace idea, coding-wise, on both WUaS wings: 1) World Univ & Sch, (and 2) the WUaS Corp)

WUaS is taking this slowly, and will seek to monitor this process, as we grow; WUAS has removed a few promotional sites in the past in these regards.

6i
Please wiki-add ideas to World Univ & Sch open subjects, eg:

"Raga and eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology is explicitly developed to my way of thinking in both Hindustani classical music (North Indian) and in Carnatic classical music (South Indian). For example, see:

Rhynchosia: Music shared, Eliciting Loving Bliss Neurophysiology and what pieces I would choose to do this re the Grateful Dead pre 1980 and Raga music and esp Yoyo Ma playing Bach Cello Suites in classical music, Loving Bliss Practices, Guidelines Practicing Loving Bliss v-a-v Musical Instrument

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/12/rhynchosia-music-shared-eliciting.html

This are interesting brain chemistry processes to explore, and especially in a realistic virtual earth for brain science - for example in a realistic virtual earth for STEM ... https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click - and for consciousness as well, and at the cellular and molecular levels too."

which I added to both the new -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hindustani_classical_music -
and to the Carnatic music, which has been a wiki subject for some years now -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Carnatic_Music

Glad to see the India Google Education Groups posting in languages from India!

How best to collaborate further, and as the India World Univ & Sch grows -https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/India (in all 22 official languages, and all 400 + other languages), and in planning for free-to-students' online Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB high school degrees - and with Google, and GEG India especially?

WUaS is continuing to call for abolition regarding the illegal sex industry internationally, and other crime too, (following on abolition of slavery, in 1833 in Britain and in 1862 with Emancipation Proclamation in USA) further regarding protecting WUaS Universitians, and WUaS matriculating and other students, in planning to code for all 7.9 billion people on planet earth - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - - each a Wikidata Pin # and with developing machine learning and artificial intelligence. Effective law enforcement and effective excellent ubiquitous psychiatrists and psychiatry - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry - in all 200 countries, with developing AI chat bots, and in all countries' main languages, - and with potentially Universal Basic Income UBI experiments (perhaps with Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency, for all 7.9 billion people, and you can get this free money daily here - https://minepi.com/sgkmac) - and eventually with avatars as effective talk therapy, are focuses of WUaS

WUaS Corporation - WUaS Press

http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html

(a for-profit general stock company in the state of California, planned in each of ~200 countries, and in all 7,139 known living languages, and in all 'extinct' languages too, for an Academic Press at WUaS in all these languages, and for Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital WUaS Educational Services' Bookstores/Cafes, Computer, Robotics' stores and hospital technologies' distribution centers).

The WUaS Press has CREATED A BRAND NEW ACADEMIC PRESS -

The Academic Press at WUaS is technically an IMPRINT, where the publisher of this WUaS ACADEMIC Press paid for the ISBNs for the 5 books it's published thus far, from Bowker's ISBN book identifier service, and listing the Academic Press at WUaS there, for example, thus creating a brand new WUaS Academic Press -

See, too -

Glad to have gotten an inquiry for the "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book recently -

Tue, Nov 16,
to charlie, Scott,

Hi Charlie, thanks for your email.
As you may have noticed the Kindle Edition's price of "Naked Harbin Ethnography" here -
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M1S3NMD/ - isn't so hefty as the paper version's (although it doesn't have an index). One of the ideas of this ethnographic book, hippies to the hot springs, is to actually enter into a realistic virtual Harbin in a virtual world, such as Street View, and soak there from our home bath tub, as we also all build out a realistic virtual Harbin ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~Cheer, Scott

More here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Harbin%20ethnography from a few years ago, re expansive description you mention.

Are you building anything virtually these days per https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-eddy-a68603173/ ? Have you added any pictures or videos to Google Street View yet, anywhere, as an initial form of 'building' in Street View (and with its TensorFlow AI in the background?)

Hello,
I am curious about the contents of your book about Harbin Hot Springs.
I have read the product description on your website and the webpage
you host describing the book. However, since it has a hefty price tag,
I am wondering if you could give me a somewhat more expansive
description of the book's contents before I make the decision to
purchase.

Thanks!

Charlie

WUaS Corporation Marketplace

How best to build this out ?

WUaS Corporation Marketplace - and for students even to sell their own textbooks, for example? ... So, what to do about returning goods to these 3rd party students' resellers, for example (Walmart example? I recently returned a fleece pullover, had by accident thrown out the envelope in which I had received the product from Walmart via online ordering, and when I went into a local store to return it, I had to purchase an envelope, and then the returns' desk was able to print the label to return the product to a 3rd party seller / reseller through Walmart Marketplace, and take the product back, and refund my money to a credit card, and send me a number of emails about this too. Complicated - especially to do this well, and build trust via excellence too! Could collaborating with Google help WUaS create this amazing inventory and returns system, and for working with possible students as resellers / sellers, and in each of all ~200 countries and in their main languages, and with delivery systems too? To be seen).

WUaS and planning to code for 7.9 billion people each a Wikidata Pin #, and a possible single cryptocurrency and regarding identity too, as well as ending poverty by distributing this via UBI Experiments? WUaS is thinking "Stanford Mine Pi '' available now, and regarding its identity systems, but is not clear how nation states would engage this identity information either, and regarding protecting consumers especially, and regarding ensuring legal and even law enforcement protections of citizens, and all 7.8 billion people.

Distributed or decentralized architectures of the internet complicate these questions.

See, too -

Was asked last week by Stanford Mine Pi if my name was spelled correctly, and when I double-checked, it still had my legal name, and my nickname.

WUaS Home Robotics in the WUaS Corporation Educational Services stores - for 7.9 billion people even?

Could WUaS plan for both Personal Robotics for all 7.9 billion people in a number of ways, and learning about these with Lego Robotics that WUaS may make available in Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital World University Bookstore Cafes Robotics' stores, in every county in every country in the world?

Appreciating again this last Youtube 360 degree video in particular and regarding its similarity to this Onsen video - https://youtu.be/X6YBetANDUI (which I used in my last UC Berkeley Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic project talk in December 2020 - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html; in these talks, I've also talked about Lego Robotics and Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs).

The WUaS Corporation paid the credit card bill off yesterday for this first state of California Franchise Tax Board tax bill for 2018, 2019, and 2020, having incorporated in 2017 initially, and as a for-profit general stock company in CA. See, too:

The WUaS Corporation for the first time ever received a tax bill for 2,865.08 from the CA FTB for 2018, 2019 and 2020, and paid it with a 2.3% convenience fee of $65.90 on 10/26/21 for a total of $2930.98, and see:

...

Payment Type:	Corporation Taxes
	Payment Amount:	$2,865.08

	Total Payment:	$2,930.98

Your payment has been completed successfully.

Confirmation Number:	09019C
Payment Date: Payment Time:	Tuesday, October 26, 2021 03:33PM PT

-• Please print or write down your payment confirmation number for your records.
- • Do not use your browser's "Back" button. Instead, navigate using the buttons below.

There was no further follow up correspondence from the CA FTB after payment, and visiting the CA senator state representative of District 7 and about 3 duplicate tax bills, in one way or another - from CA FTB representative Robert Morgan, with whom it was very helpful to speak a few weeks ago (since first incorporating in 2017).

Again, thanks especially to Chair of the WUaS Board and CFO Larry Viehland for sending in $1500 to the WUaS Corporation, - and for getting 150 shares of the WUaS Corporation stock in exchange. (I also got 293 shares in paying this tax bill). Am seeking for WUaS on both wings to become more cash oriented, so your contribution, Larry, is especially helpful as a next key step! And I'm wondering if the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of the Silicon Valley long-term stock exchange might emerge soon-ish, and whether the WUaS Corporation could use the $1500 you sent in to list the WUaS Corp, with some part of which as a registration fee.

I searched on and found -

How to list on the silicon valley long term stock exchange as a company?

https://ltse.com/faq/

and will follow up on this for the next WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on 12/18/21.

WUaS Corporation is seeking for the WUaS Corporation to potentially list - in addition to the WUaS Press in 7k languages with machine learning, and its bookstores/cafes, computer stories, robotics' stores, hospital technologies' distribution centers in ~200 countries and in their main languages - something like Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily (https://minepi.com/sgkmac) as planned revenues (from countries and companies potentially buying Stanford Mine Pi as their central banks' single cryptocurrency, with other cryptocurrencies continuing to trade like NUMISMATICS, old coins, but for the 21st digital century) on the Silicon Valley long-term stock exchange, and in WUaS planning to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Pin # (and for 7.9 wiki teachers and learners for free universal people to people education too, and see, too, these other reasons - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html).

Eii

Universitians, please let the WUaS Corporation know if you would like to get any shares 'on the ground floor' by emailing the WUaS Corporation at Meeting@worlduniversityandschool.org

Eiii

The shares are currently $10 / share, and WUaS Corporation would enter your purchase on the WUaS Shares' Ledger.

And WUaS Corp is seeking to automate this process soon.

Thank you.
