Oakland, California, Lake Merritt, Scottish Rite Center 'stone massif' - why, how, sociologically?

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your email again. These 3 pictures just popped up

... in Google Photos technology-scout wise, and in teaching a course on the Network Society and information technology - 
- and as an Anthropologist of this, and of Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs ... these questions emerge regarding this 

Oakland Scottish Rite Center
Oakland, California, Lake Merritt, Scottish Rite Lodge 'stone massif' from oaklandscottishrite.com
This is the second temple in Oakland built from the ground up by the Scottish Rite Masonic fraternity since 1883, when it was first chartered in Oakland.

Completed in 1927 ...

My question is - 
Who are the Scottish Freemasons sociologically too - identity-wise? (And regarding California?)

I can imagine lots of Scots around Oakland at the turn of the 19th century (the Muir and Carnegie names come to mind) ... but why the association with the Freemasons then?

There would have been opportunity in America if one could pay for the passage on a ship from (poor) Scotland to an unknown uncertain economic future in the New World of the USA ... 

Upgraded building over the years ... Now targeting Corporations - which could have been unique American organizations of economic opportunity too ... with more entrepreneurial freedom in the USA than other countries to create them

"Jul 9, 2014 — OAKLAND — The Scottish Rite Center that overlooks Lake Merritt is undergoing a $1.2 million renovation to return the lodge to its original glory ..."




I guess they were all predominantly builders, from the name 'masons' (and thus had some cash flow) ... And 'free' because they bonded together in this network which made them 'free,' from other less free networks of work associations, a kind of ritualized 'union' 100 years ago in this instance in early California - in a sociocultural 'world' I have very little insight into. See too - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry_in_Scotland. (I've lived in Edinburgh Scotland for 2 full years, and name is very Scots' and identity questions continue to be fascinating anthropologically and IT-wise in this ever more diverse and diversifying world we live in ... With Work World University and School planning to be in 7139 known living languages, and in each of 200 countries, including creating a Scotland World University and School - potentially for technology-scouting too.

All ... into a realistic virtual earth for history, and technology scouting - think Google Street View with time slider Maps Earth TensorFlowAI, Translate, Avatar Bots which could inform mason or building robotics and robots?

An economic and identity interpretation of a Scottish building in downtown Oakland which Scottish Freemasons I've never understood or sought to interpret with the technology of languages.

Thanks, 
Scott

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the 1-1 emails.

(1) Companion: Finding a life companion is not easy, but your mother has given you the best advice.  Meeting new people in a group situation is a great way to start.  In group situations, find a way to help others and show good humor and patience in the face of adversity.  That shows a caring attitude, which many find attractive.  You may enjoy reading this article about the pros and cons of living alone.  Glad your mother is a role-model for caring.

(2) WUaS:  WUaS is a wonderful vision.   You are living a life of purpose - and this is important.   Learning (upskilling is the current buzzword) is so important to meaning in life.  WUaS will become real someday.  Technologies to help are getting there, slowly but surely.  For example, today I use YouTube technology to learn practical things like how to clean a clogged drain, or what to do with leftover sauerkraut.   As I see technologies that can help you with WUaS, I will let you know.  Setting ambitious goals shows that you care about  future generations, which many find attractive.  Glad your father is a role-model for setting ambitious goals.

(3) Quaker: Your Quaker background has helped you set a high moral standard.  You may want to play with "AllenAI Delphi" which is an attempt to create an AI capable of making moral judgments.  This article explains its many weaknesses and limitations.  Glad to be a technology scout, if that is helpful to you.  That is probably where I can be most helpful. However, since technology is advancing on so many fronts, I will only be scanning a tiny fraction of what is relevant for achieving your life goals and purpose.  I think you are also a technology scout.  Thank-you for sharing interesting technologies that you find with me.  That is appreciated.

Now that I am retired, I try to stay focused on my family and my life goal - which is simply to understand the world better, and share any glimmers of understanding with others (via ISSIP.org and the service science/open source AI literature). 

However, I also ask myself everyday, who have I helped besides my family and myself.  It is important to me to always have an answer to "who have I helped today?" - the last 4-5 minutes of the YouTube, explain why helping others is a form of enlightened self-interest.  I like helping people with ambitious goals, that if realized, would be the kind of world that I think future generations of people would like to live in.  So in a sense, helping others helps advance service science.  Which I know is a bit selfish of me.  A moral dilemma.  Perhaps I should ask AllenAI Delphi "Is helping others a selfish act" and "Is patience a virtue?"  Delphi reminds me a bit of Eliza, the old MIT AI chatbot from the 1960s.  Happy technology scouting to you!!!

Thanks, -Jim

Hi Scott,

The Bay Area Scottish community might have group events.  Perhaps good for meeting people.

Thanks! Hasn't happened since around 1991 when I moved here, but Byron, Cindy, Erica, and Ellen Hann identify as Scots', I think, and while Ellen is the only Scot amongst them (having been born in Scotland), am wondering whether somehow an introduction from her older sister, Erica, to a friend from high school, might be possible.

The possibility of living centuries ahead due to Gene technology opens possibly having many families even ... scouting-wise ... N'est-ce pas?

Thanks, Scott

Hi Scott,
A shame the Scottish group does not have group events to attend.

Yes, I know you scout technologies in many areas including life extension and cryptocurrencies.  Have not looked at them - since I try to stay focused.  Very hard in such an interesting and diverse world.  Hard to focus, but I try.

Heading out for some state park hikes.  Back tomorrow.

thanks,-JIm

Safe travels, Jim, 


Yes, have been playing Scottish Small Pipes in Open Band in Berkeley for Scottish Country Dancing for nearly 10 years now, and Scottish Country Dancing before that (left longer leg tweaks left hip now so no more dancing). Won a prize for Piobaireachd classical Scottish Bagpiping music at the Pleasanton highland games some years ago too (grade 4) ... But even Clan MacLeod tent there hasn't lead to life partner yet for example (and Mrs MacLeod Pacific is great ... Tammie Vawter)... But while I may begin to play in Open Band music-making at St Clement's Episcopal Church soon ... Am calling for abolition of the illegal sex industry internationally among Scottish Country Dancing internationally too.


Happy exploring in nature today,

Scott

Jim, 

Philosophy - and inspirational speaker (business-wise too), or 'dean of personal development' - am reminded of Harbin Hot Springs' thinking, as kinds of a multitude of philosophies I might hear a bit of in the Harbin pool area, too, right out of the 1960s and '70s, somewhat religious somehow, and am also reminded of my friend and anthropological informant Sunheart Sunheart (who died last autumn 2020, and am not sure how or why) regarding this inspirational envisioning ... 


Earl Nightingale - The Strangest Secret

BBBC

https://youtu.be/y5x-KjBME_E


Am also reminded of 

The Desiderata -

https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html

(which family friend George L Alexander MD, a brilliant Lacanian psychoanalytic psychiatrist, stood by - it was a picture on his wall - in his Quaker continuing care community outside Philadelphia, on one of the last times I visited him there with my mother before he died ... my family and the Alexanders had an Xmas meal together in Pgh for around 23 years) ...

"Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism."

Re goals and success thinking?

"Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time."

... but then the people who end up staying at Harbin (its residents, or its often visitors) or those people who followed or shared some teaching even, and end up living in Lake County around Harbin ... can or may have gotten all tangled up in an unethical web of unique socio-cultural developments, Harbin, California, and 1970's informed, ... emerging much from attraction in soaking at Harbin Hot Springs itself. 

Am an anthropologist of this fascinating place, and my 5 books all focus on Harbin too ... but I found this first (ever) fascinating critique, or straightforward web criticism in writing, of Harbin on Friday - http://www.mussercommunications.com/mcassets/Whats_Wrong_with_Harbin_Hot_Springs.pdf (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/common-milkweed.html - and could all of these papers and books in this blog post itself become resources in an academic course at actual Harbin Hot Springs with field work - http://www.scottmacleod.com/research-group.html - and for even high-achieving MIT and Harvard and Stanford students, to learn field work, and wiki-ethnography, and to create, develop and test STEM technologies of all kinds, eg for brain research - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/kata-tjuta-australia.html - from the warm pool too, - waterproof too???) - which I think also could lead to new legal approaches, California and federal law-wise, re making actual Harbin Hot Springs better, and safer too, for visitors and Harbin residents even. (Changing scofflaw California, with a California legal system getting its act together, could help and protect a lot of people, with possible parallels to the abolition of slavery even!).

Thanks for the inspirational philosophy, Jim, and other great ideas and thinking!  Appreciating Earl Nightingale's as a kind of meditation too, but appreciating the silence of Quakers in these regards, as well as the good ethics, values, and morality emerging from Quaker history (STEM too), as well as from sitting in Friendly Silent Meeting together, as a network (community), as well.

Thanks, 

Scott

PS

Information Technology-wise, both worlduniversityandschool.org (planned in all languages on the planet, 7,139 living languages, but first planning for all ~200 countries' main languages), and scottmacleod.com, in many languages, are significantly in need of updating. 


Will likely newly explore for World Univ & Sch building out here - 


https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/


in the Sinhala language - 

https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/srilanka


However, the KompoZer HTML program I was using for years no longer functions for some pages - due to new security dialogue box alert in KompoZer - where someone inserted see slideshare URLs here, for example, - http://scottmacleod.com/papers.htm - years ago remotely, and now I can't seem to edit this, or similar, pages (with slideshare URLs I think predominantly). 

Suggestions for removing these slideshare URLs and related code from this page remotely - http://scottmacleod.com/papers.htm - since if I open this page in KompoZer, it makes the whole program inoperable?


Thanks so much, Jim, again ... and Happy Hiking today and tomorrow ... in your retirement! Will explore some local state parks today, thanks to you - 

Albany State Marine Reserve

McLaughlin Eastshore State Seashore


but not Angel Island State Park, which I've never been to, because I haven't figured out how to get there, and it may be better to visit on a weekday, for example, when it's quieter. 


Abolition via the Anti-Slavery Act in Britain of 1833 and the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862 put a lot of slavers out of business, and dramatically changed these society's economies (which seemed to survive) ... and freed millions of people ... Quakers and Unitarians were leaders in this, and based on religious principles, and philosophy even ... Calling for an emergence of this regarding the abolition of hte illegal sex industry internationally, and to protect victims, people, kids, and others (from their latent networks of violence too) ... potentially regarding Canyon 94516 as well and especially.


Living in a safe house, and potentially seeking asylum in the spring for whistle-blowing, and calling for abolition as well ...


Abolition-ally yours, Scott

Hi Jim,


Thanks for your email. 

Yes, where I'm living now may be as unsafe as Canyon 94516 could become.

Yes, there's much relevance for CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University & School regarding both Humanities, planned in 200 countries and in their main languages, for free-to-students' degrees - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Humanities - and regarding building further MIT networks, even eventually hiring MIT graduate students and postdocs ... And this morning's WUaS Corporation Monthly Business Meeting (WUaS too as a whole) is a further Friendly development of this, as its President and Presiding Clerk (in a good Quaker sense as well, re a kind of service listening, and STEM science too).

Yes, I'm still circulating in seeking a life partner and to begin a family, potentially a MD (AND learning from or building upon past previous loved friends, A & S in particular) but it's a new world after 18 months of non-genetic Non-epidemic self-quarantine, and 13 years before that living in Canyon. Haven't heard back from Byron and Cindy yet either in these regards.

Yes, Friends (re ethics too, & SPICES, and caring) or friendly cultures seem not very widespread in the SF Bay Area but Stammtisch and ongoing teaching and learning and information sharing may perhaps help grow friends further. Risk taking and aversion are part of this. Quality caring are things I've learned from my mother (but also to take risks from my Dad, and to aim for excellence too, hence CC-4 MIT OCW-CENTRIC WORLD UNIV AND SCH in part).

WUaS will perhaps become financially operational because of THE WUaS Corporation possibly working with the state of California and listing on the Silicon Valley long-term stock exchange the Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency for free universal education and to end poverty via UBI EXPERIMENTS TO all 7.8 billion people in most of all 200 countries backed by most of their central banks, but this may also take a while. Didn't hear back from the state of California FTB twice this week in the Canyon 94516 USPO after getting and paying a tax bill for 3 years recently (and getting 3 other duplicate tax bills in one way or another), even though Robert Morgan at the FTB said he'd send something about this I think on paper. Will wait a few days further or ignore these other bills per conversation with Larry re WUaS Monthly Business Meeting.

Thanks, and abolitionally yours, Scott

Hi Annie,Tim, Cathy, Steve, Scott, Sandy and Kate,

I hope this works for everyone.  (please include any other family members if they are around and would like to join us (including dogs). See link below.

Love to all and hope to ‘see’ you on Thanksgiving Day.

Janie MacLeod is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Sounds good, Ma. Thanksgiving breakfast for me, if we share food together! Alden, would you like to join us? A Thanksgiving day gathering at 9am PT IN ZOOM? Please invite other family if interested, per my mother's suggestion here! 

(Greetings from Point Richmond on a walk in the North Bay, very ethnically diverse, with some couples courting in traditional ways!) 

Warm regards,

Scott

Great, Alden, Ma, 

See you all on Thursday! 
Ed, would you like to join this Thanksgiving meal with the Brown Briscoe MacLeod Muller and family at 9am PT - whether you're in LA, the SF Bay Area or elsewhere - in Zoom? Am probably going to have more than coffee or tea for this Thanksgiving breakfast (re 'breaking bread' together, or sharing a Thanksgiving feast ... maybe even Tofurky for breakfast to celebrate ... Yum:)

Happy Thanksgiving
Scott

Ma, Alden, Ann, All,

Looking forward to seeing you all for the Thanksgiving gathering. For those who want to feast, do we each bring the stuffing, the gravy, the pumpkin pie, and other food items? 3d printing of Thanksgiving food isn't yet ... :) And you live on beautiful Wisdom Creek Ranch, Annie, a 'back to the land' Thanksgiving vision (as I see this). Last year's Thanksgiving in Zoom was enjoyable, 9 months into the isolation 'time out'? opposite of a gathering of the Coronavirus pandemic self-quarantine! 

Ann, am using your Ann Brown <annieb@gorge.net> email address, since your ExciteExcite email address bounces back to me now. Is this the one to use now?

Ed (Smyth), would you like to join this Thanksgiving gathering? Might some of the Nwachukus join too, Alden? Stacey and family, Alex and family, Mark and family?

Happy Thanksgiving, and see you soon?

Am giving thanks too for MIT OCW-CENTRIC WIKI WORLD UNIV AND SCH's growing and per yesterday's open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting (loosely conducted in the manner of good QUAKERs). 

Fondly, Scott

'Rock blues' Piobaireachd lament' creativity potential

Thinking I'd like to begin a new Scottish music-making band - "The Rock blues' Piobaireachd lament' (open?) band - much online at first, practices at 5:45 pm PT on Mondays, for an hour or so, (perhaps before Open Band gathers physically at St. Clement's for 7;30 PMPT Scottish Country Dancers ...) ... While this might be way way too late to all play together if Stuart wants to join in, perhaps if some music emerges from those 8 Piobaireachdys (with emergent new sheet music from these esp.), as well as some version of real real time music-making on the Google platform, we can figure out a better time for the extraordinary piper and teacher Stuart Liddell in Argyllshire, Scotland to make music with, and share your thinking too!:) Could we play for different dancers, rock and roll and blues' people who wait for the music to dance them? :))

Noodling away, 

Scott

What a good idea.  Hope it works out.


- if I had a band - Open Band? - that could start to rock Piobaireachd blues' laments, slowly, with the 8 Piobaireachds attached, and so that I could on the Scottish Small Pipes (SSP) start playing from this sheet music lead for these "rock Piobaireachd blues' laments" what would that band sound like?

I'm thinking in terms of the key of A mixolydian (with the 7th a half step below a concert scale, ie the high G, and the low G too, on the Scottish Small Pipes' A chanter .... ) ... but could think in terms of the B flat mix chanter - which a Great Highland Bagpipe could play with ... or the SSP D chanter

Scott
Wanna try in group video conferencing sometime? 5:45 pm PT on some Mondays, - and then actually and physically at St. Clement's after this, but before SCD? Could this 'hypothetical Open Band' - and as a machine learning band too - start to 'lay down' the band music for these 8 different Piobaireachds, and could we all from home, in time with the music coming from this new open band playing, begin to play from home, perhaps each of us improvising in our way with the 'conductor-orchestra-band' (inspired and informed by the Allman Bros' '73 at Cow Palace, Bo Diddley, or the Grateful Dead in the 1970s as rock blues' 'energies' especially) of the Open Band music streaming 'rock Piobaireachd blues laments' through the video conference (due to the limitations of lag in 'real time' music-making now, and waiting on 'real real time' music making), and changing as machine learning, as it 'hears' each of us playing differently? 

If it began to be happening 'rock Piobaireachd blues' laments' music slowly at first and for rock and roll dancers too, move the Scottish Country Dancing session to 5-7pm on Mondays, and then 'rock Piobaireachd blues' laments'  rock and roll music for dancers to 7:30-9:30 and attract a whole new set of Dancers from the Claremont Hotel and Spa too? Out by 9:30 pm ... all if the Diocesan rules would allow 2 forms of Scottish dancing and music-making to take place on a Monday evening, all from 5pm-9:30pm or 10 pm PT?

And lots of us could build on the 'Open Band Machine Learning Band' music ... with our own innovations ... like the amazing piper Stuart Liddell esp:) and possibly quite a few of us experimenters, 'rock Piobaireachd blues' laments' - wise  :)
