Hi VOLCANO (Mwende), and Larry, 

Thanks so much for your email, and your interest in registering for a free-to-student's online Bachelor's degree (since our last communications in this thread in March 2021). Please send in the OCW.MIT.EDU courses you'd like to study in the first year, so say 3 per term (beginning in January, then May, then September), and your high school, and your Cameroon (Africa) Bachelor degree transcripts. Larry is Chief Academic Officer, and we'll proceed from there. Do you know of anyone else in your schools or city who might be interested? Please let me know.

Best Regards, Scott

Good morning Mr Scott.

 Hope this finds you well.

Please I wish to know when next registration for a Bachelors Degree will take place.

Best Regards,
Mwende Evande.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the friendly dialogue in email. Volcano (Mwende Evande from Cameroon, Africa). with whom I've emailed before about his interest in free-to-students' OCW.MIT.EDU -centric Bachelor degrees at WUaS at some length, emailed yesterday asking how to register to begin a Bachelor degree in CS. While I'll email him inviting him to send in the courses he'd like to do in the first year, and his high school and other transcripts (per WUaS Monthly Business Meeting and Larry Viehland), To help him today, I'd like to be able to offer him something first in January like these Google courses, and even as they might emerge over the next four years for degrees even, and engaging CC-4 MIT OCW - 

 courses from Google - 
...and I'd also like to offer him a great first year required Humanities' course (per MIT Global Humanities' conference, and Reed College) ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Humanities (even accessible from here as a course catalog, first in English) ...  to help him today too. But these are not quite 'there' yet for WUaS.

Focusing comes with writing, daily web logging, and WUaS wiki Subjects for example. I take a kind of Quaker 'way will open' approach too (inner Light non-theistically Friendly too), sitting in the morning on meditation with parallels to in the Harbin's warm pool) which facilitates inner releasing action and attunement (or Quaker Silent Meeting, with related cultures, and Yogically or Taoistly too). Helping people daily, and with free universal wiki people to people education too, is part of this. Aging reversal genetic drug therapies, and potentially ending poverty with UBI EXPERIMENTS to distribute a single cryptocurrency backed by most central banks, and much of this explored further brainstorming wise in a developing realistic virtual earth for history & STEM, are further facilitated by IT coding and related language (focusing too). And with aging reversal genetic drug therapies, perhaps I'll be able to help people with the energy of a 25 year old, or similar.

(Interesting research, social justice, justice and law possibilities with Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic and STEM field work, and ~200 law schools online at WUaS ... re some of these focusing questions too). Here's one direction I head in re justice - 

Abolitionism? #Abolish the #illegalSexIndustryWorldWide in all 200 countries #Abolition w new laws & effective #lawEnforcement too> https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/06/lesser-flamingo-phoeniconaias-minor.html #Quakers #NontheistFriends #NontheistQuakers #UnitarianUniversalists #WUaSpsychiatry in #RealsiticVirtualEarth #AvatarBots~

French Guyana celebrates #Abolition Day on 10 June, marking the end of #slavery in 1848.

https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1404204849772732419?s=20


Appreciating your ethics, Jim, of seeking to help someone every day, and regarding its sociality, so thanks for sharing this 'philosophy' of yours. (Am reminded a bit of the song sung among Quaker Friends "Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more ... it's just like a magic penny" ... and of George Alexander MDs cynical observation, whose widow is a Quaker, that 'love and $2.15 cents will get you a cup of coffee' (which he could have heard from an analysand, for all I know ...) ... and where George described himself as 'amoral' ... as a languages-oriented Lacanian psychoanalytic psychiatrist MD, where this may have been a philosophy that emerged for him too, language-wise, in his extensive clinical Lacanian psychoanalytic practice). But I don't think you're talking about love, JIm, but rather seeking to help someone every day, so thanks.  

THANKS FOR THE IDEA SHARING,
Scott
Circulation and connecting naturally are I think what my mother suggests re seeking a friend for beginning a family. If I met and connected with a 27 year old MD who had a house near Stanford, and we wanted to live together, that might open many possibilities regarding 'safe house' and life companion ... some Scottish background too? ... still circulating ... Thanks again.

[Medianthro] tips for (multi)media projects communicating anthropology to broader public ~ Free UBI via Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency  

Scott MacLeod

10:59 AM (30 minutes ago)

to Marie, Mark, John, Medianthro


Dear Marie and Mark, John, MediaAnthro friends, All, 

Word omission correction, and more: In developing 'ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy' as a vast 'wiki' Virtual Reality MultiMedia project, and in planning for 7.8 billion people, I'm hopeful WUaS can not ONLY (correction of typo) end poverty, with something like Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency, via UBI Experiments, but also begin to build out a wiki single realistic virtual earth - for Anthropology (and regarding, too, my Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic project) with builders and interns and students from many of the 7.8 billion people on the planet and from all ~200 countries, and in all of our languages. 

I am sending you 1π! Pi is a new digital currency developed by Stanford PhDs, with over 25 million members worldwide. To claim your Pi, follow this link https://minepi.com/sgkmac and use my username (sgkmac) as your invitation code. 

Please share Stanford Mine Pi widely with your friends and anthropology colleagues (per http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/UBI?m=0 and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20Harbin?m=0 and the 'virtual earth,' 'Harbin ethnography,' and 'anthropology' labels too, for ex). 

All best wishes, Scott

Dear Marie and Mark, John, MediaAnthro friends, All, 

Prof. Mark Peterson just asked again for the code to get Stanford Mine Pi Cryptocurrency  free daily money in this thread, and I shared with him (and all of you):
You can get Stanford Mine Pi free money daily here - 

I wanted to add that OCW.MIT.EDU-centric WIKI World Univ & Sch is planning to code, brainstorming-wise, for speakers of all 7,139 kown living languages, each a Wikidata Pin #. In doing so, WUaS seeks to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Pin# too, and so that we can all wiki teach and wiki learn from each other, for free people-to-people universal education. This would include with Wiki MultiMedia Projects for "(multi)media projects communicating anthropology to broader publics."

I've minuted some of this thread here in the 9/18/21 WUaS Monthly Business Minutes - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/09/minutes-for-91821-world-univ-sch-wuas.html?view=sidebar - (and below in Minutes 9 and 10)

Thinking about Canyon 94516


Good morning my wonderful mother, All,


Thanks for talking last night.

Am not sure about the wisdom of considering moving to Canyon in the spring. 

With a life partner and to begin a family potentially would change dynamics, but I don't know about the possibility of 'cleaning it up' (re the good and the bad, culturally and re shared values) and regarding the state of California legally (& re law enforcement) too, given its potentially terrible history (was that the word you used?) and for more than a century. While some nuns (why and who initiated this?) moved into the nearby McCosker ranch (1/2 mile away) a few years ago, which didn't seem to have had any effect on some of Canyon's ethics, I wonder about Yoga, QuakerQuaker (social justice-wise too), UU and MD psychiatric thinking, and even related good or excellent networks of people, MDs, thinkers and people trained in mental health and excellent MD psychiatry, and Education too. Canyon critters are resistant to learning as a culture (re the 'briar patch' idea in the story of Br'er Rabbit too), and may take pride in this too (which independence thinking can have merit too). Were I to move in again, 'compartmentalization' could make sense, but Canyon critters in my experience go across boundaries, and 'compartmentalizing one's mind' is just a metaphor, a would depend on my partner, and while I agency-wise stayed disengaged or disentangled ... I wouldn't necessarily want compartmentalization to lead to isolation ... 


But WUaS Monthly Business Meeting is coming up in an hour or so 

Agendas -


https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/hypericum-perforatum-agenda_01703399845.html (but I would explore moving back into it, with the abolition movement and see WUaS Agenda item 7, where abolition has freed millions of people!)

... and we in WUaS MBM could be considering some of the above questions indirectly as well, as spring 2022 approaches with the turning of the day and year. Beautiful California, Canyon 94516, East Bay MUD's ~17x17 square miles of forest and ranch lands in the middle of the Bay Area (and even with land all the way to Crockett for World University and School housing as house-universities for growing an academic faculty) are gems as well.

Thoughts about this?

Love, Scott

Dear Ma, All,


Good to share WUaS Monthly Business Meeting with Larry beginning about 2 hours ago - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i6M5m3P7GCvXFw-4qSosLyUhC4BG3ig6/view (which recording is still processing I think).

Fondly, Scott
And here again is the 11/20/21 WUaS Agenda and News - 



From the text messaging after our talk last night - 

Ma - nice to talk! A good charitable Quaker (Christian?) organization even - Work ocw.mit.edu -centric wiki World University and School? (Somehow Christian UU-informed too ? ... Whatever this means, but as a Friend's 'leading', WUaS is partly non-theistic Quaker : ...can WUaS help to end poverty (by distributing a single Cryptocurrency such as Stanford Mine Pi for free money daily - https://minepi.com/sgkmac )? ... And further an abolitionist movement, re morality of wrongness of slavery, extended to the abolition of the illegal sex industry, and regards their economics too? UU (Unitarian Universalist), NtF (non-theistic Friends/Quaker) ...) And could WUaS begin to grow financially sooner than later, after getting charity 501 c 3 IRS status in 2010 first (with the IRS ruling year of 2014) ... Ongoing whistle blowing about Stanford, Berkeley Law, SF QUAKERs, Canyon, Reed, Harbin + in some of these regards ... see blog - and regarding this new fascinating "What's Wrong With Harbin Hot Springs" letter or article I found yesterday about Harbin - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/common-milkweed.html?m=0 - ... A life partner too, not 52 (a number you mentioned re the temperature in PGH today), but 25 years old even ??? ... From Germany? A MD? Possibly an UU or Quaker too? Connect well? Possibly game to live in Canyon for a while, especially if aging reversal genetic drug therapies become a realistic new medicine? :)


If WUaS Corporation doesn't grow, it's good to have a backup, besides good family and friends, so thanks for mentioning questions of Trusts. Here is some related information I just searched on and found - https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-accounts/trust-accounts for information. I think Vanguard could make Trust accounts relatively simple, and even online. A socially responsible stock mutual fund, if thinking about aging reversal and centuries ahead, re risk lessened over the long term? Thinking wise, the Vanguard FTSE social index mutual fund https://investor.vanguard.com/mutual-funds/profile/overview/VFTAX ? But tax issues are key in all of this I think - and regarding developing USA and CA and PA law ... and good to talk with a counselor about perhaps.  Could the Vanguard FTSE mutual fund, with tax considerations, be better than a Bond fund, or an asset allocation model too ... For quite or very long term ...IF ??? :)

Further, 
Ma, I might invite a friend up to Lake county for a postponed 2 book signings in public libraries of my first big book "Naked Harbin Ethnography," again, after 2016 or 2017 ... Ongoing whistle blowing about ethical wrongdoing at Berkeley Law (which law instructor betrayed me and in saying he'd write the articles of incorporation for the WUAS Corporation too, but I think not being able to ... or knowing how to ... 2 long semesters in his office, and a lot of pain re his wrongdoing too) ... Calling for abolition of the illegal sex industry internationally as a consequence ... Might this put UC Berkeley Law out of business? Unless Harvard Law took 'ownership' of Berkeley Law like sports' teams? ... Reading The Desiderata here, and regarding my ongoing WUaS Friendly Quaker 'leading' too, with the WUaS Corporation, for the Long day ahead :)

Ma, All, 


Can't easily see the Harvard-Yale football game today at noon ET, 9am PT, Also can't easily see the Stanford-Berkeley football game today at 4pm PT, 7pm ET ... but who would want to, hippy-wise especially? (would be interested in seeing some videos of hippies entering big game day play in the 1960s and early 70s too:)

But check this out, if you want to see some college football with Yale playing Dartmouth from 10/9/21 - 
Highlights: Football vs Yale, October 9, 2021
:)

Don't think I'd like to be, or that it's a very good idea either, a quarterback with all those goons programmed to sack the quarterback, or a head coach of a team, college or professional, or even an owner of a professional team (way too stressful re the competition between teams etc ... even if paid $200,000 per year) ...  


Interesting however to see these two Tweets from Stanford Law Professor Hank Greely (and of Bioengineering law and ethics too), in some of these regards -

Hank Greely
@HankGreelyLSJU
20h
Today at 1:38 am we were awakened by some of the trumpets of the UC Berkeley band, probably in the back of a pickup truck, playing 30 secs of "Fight for California", their fight song, then yelling "Good morning, President Tessier Lavigne." We smiled. Big Game tradition. BEAT CAL!

https://twitter.com/HankGreelyLSJU/status/1461836803850182660?s=20


Hank Greely
@HankGreelyLSJU
19h
2/ We are NOT President Tessier-Lavigne, but we have lived next door to the President's residence since Feb 1994. Our bedroom's big window is ca 100 ft from wh/that band plays. We've heard them almost every yr, thru Presidents Casper, Hennessy, & T-L.  
It's comforting, esp. now.

https://twitter.com/HankGreelyLSJU/status/1461837634435567619?s=20


While I think Hank's a bit of an old hippy too, and a Yale Law alumni, as well as Stanford Alum, too, am wondering why he Tweeted these (which, because of the early morning music, I re-Tweeted here - https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand). I've met all these past Stanford presidents ... and am wondering, as President of World Univ & Sch, how WUaS might even collaborate with all of these schools - and regarding this primate primatology sport of American football. Virtual football (not soccer) with machine learning ? 

And check out this blog posts re Google Football with Machine Learning (and the Tweets below) -

Ma, Ed, Pin, All 

Just shared this with email x 2 to Jim (and some of you too) ... re thinking about Canyon and safety too ahead in the spring. 

Partly possibly about different forms of criminality ... and regarding IT distributed-ness, identity, and networks regarding IBM in Canyon, for example. Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions? 

Abolition-ally, Scott


Dear Jim, 

I hope this email finds you well. You looked like you had gotten sunburn in the ISSIP workshop, and I hope it isn't causing you too much trouble, and that it's past by now ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/camel-dromedary-camelus-dromedarius.html (in which I blogged a bit about this ISSIP meeting too). How are you?

I just shared the following with you and Larry, Kim, my mother and other friends, regarding planning for the spring, and Toyota Palo Alto and IT-safety too in the "town council troubles" thread ... regarding "another kid in a box" questions too ... and considering exploring moving back into Canyon in the spring even ... regarding the wisdom of this, and contingent on CA law, and its getting its act together, and law enforcement too  ... and a culture shift in all of this too ... 

Dear Jim, 

Good to share WUaS Monthly Business Meeting with Larry beginning a few hours ago - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i6M5m3P7GCvXFw-4qSosLyUhC4BG3ig6/view .

. . . 

Even with there being safety in emailing you all as a group, re networks of allies and protesting (per a Harvard philosophy colloquium talk I heard and participated in yesterday), Jim, asked to be off group emails, and re his and my helpful and service science communications, my ongoing living in a safe house, calling for abolition, and seeking potentially asylum in the spring (in Europe or the East Coast), and Jim is an IBMer as are in Canyon Ellin and per non-Canyon resident Neale Barrett, and Jim has much insight into GPS and Computer Science ... and regarding thinking strategically and technically in these regards too ... so I will email him this later. 

Fond regards, Scott
And here again is the 11/20/21 WUaS Agenda and News - 


Seeking to plan for safety in the spring, and IT safety as well. ... Thoughts, questions, suggestions? Is there a way that Toyota itself could manage the franchise of Toyota Palo Alto Magnussen's if they're going through changes (and since I'll probably continue to head back there ... even regarding the $300 bill they charged this past time ... and maybe unscrupulously ... and being quite impoverished, yet appreciating in general the quality of work there at Magnussen's ... thank you ... And re safety with regards to GPS, identity, and employees who may be unethical? ... thinking in terms of how to approach such situations at World Univ & Sch too ... and where Google with its 140,000 people, and WUaS collaborations, may be a sensible initial approach for WUaS ... where Toyota has nearly 3 times as many employees as Google with 366,300 ... and am not sure if Toyota Palo Alto employees would be considered part of this, but possibly)

Ma, ED, Pun, Sandy, All,

GLAD TO HAVE HEARD FROM JIM (AT BOTTOM) re SaFEtY & Re: Thinking about Canyon (ANd  HIS KnOWIng IBMeR ELLIn BARReTT (. . . ). I DOn'T knOw IBM's HIsTORY wITh ThE VALLEy Of CANYoN At ALL.

I HOPe tHiS FINd YoU WeLL. HOW ARE YOU? WELCOMiNG YOuR THINkiNg REgARdINg A SafE HOuSe In SPrING TOo.

Hi Ma, (ANNiE), How was your day today? How was your ladies' group - picnicking outside in cool Pittsburgh in mid November? :) Decent weather? Occurs to me upon getting Jim Spohrer's email to some of my questions (where he was turning quite red newly in some of the ISSIP workshop Session inexplicably) that he 'bit' ... like a halter bit. Just a thought - that he's engaged in thinking about safety and WUaS. But it leads me to wonder regarding, not the 'tea culture' in the air of the British Isles, but perhaps of the ranch culture of Moraga and Canyon (and as I drove by a potentially pretty 25 year old wearing a mask standing at a bus stop across from the high school that Byron and Cindy's daughters went to) that meeting a 25 year old from around those parts, who might have even grown up around horses, that a horse 'taking a bit' could be a metaphor for some women around there - and a way to think about connecting (different from inviting someone out for a cup of coffee on the east coast or Europe for example) ... Could be great for possibly connecting along with talking if someone was looking for a partner, and Byron and Cindy knew her parents for example. Might she even be a MD? Just brain storming - how else to connect and regarding the spark or shine Susan and Anke had for me when we were getting to know each other. Hmmm ... Circulation ... Heading out for a walk soon :)

FOndLY, 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 abolition-ally yours, Scott

Re Minute 7 - 



Hi Scott,
Thanks for the 1-1 email.  

Yes, my face gets quite red, blushing when I am on video, but it is not painful.

Sounds like four things to me:

(1) interacting with people is sometimes frustrating.  Especially car repair people.  I have cultivated patience for this.  It is hard.

(2) you are still searching for a safe place to live. People are very different in terms of happy simple life living.

(3) and not mentioned, but you are still looking for a life companion.

(4) you are still working to help the world by bringing the vision of WUaS into reality.

Did I get these four correct?

Thanks,- Jim

Again,  - 


Hi Jim,


Thanks for the friendly dialogue in email. Volcano (Mwende Evande from Cameroon, Africa). with whom I've emailed before about his interest in free-to-students' OCW.MIT.EDU -centric Bachelor degrees at WUaS at some length, emailed yesterday asking how to register to begin a Bachelor degree in CS. While I'll email him inviting him to send in the courses he'd like to do in the first year, and his high school and other transcripts (per WUaS Monthly Business Meeting and Larry Viehland), To help him today, I'd like to be able to offer him something first in January like these Google courses, and even as they might emerge over the next four years for degrees even, and engaging CC-4 MIT OCW - 

 courses from Google - 
...and I'd also like to offer him a great first year required Humanities' course (per MIT Global Humanities' conference, and Reed College) ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Humanities (even accessible from here as a course catalog, first in English) ...  to help him today too. But these are not quite 'there' yet for WUaS.

Focusing comes with writing, daily web logging, and WUaS wiki Subjects for example. I take a kind of Quaker 'way will open' approach too (inner Light non-theistically Friendly too), sitting in the morning on meditation with parallels to in the Harbin's warm pool) which facilitates inner releasing action and attunement (or Quaker Silent Meeting, with related cultures, and Yogically or Taoistly too). Helping people daily, and with free universal wiki people to people education too, is part of this. Aging reversal genetic drug therapies, and potentially ending poverty with UBI EXPERIMENTS to distribute a single cryptocurrency backed by most central banks, and much of this explored further brainstorming wise in a developing realistic virtual earth for history & STEM, are further facilitated by IT coding and related language (focusing too). And with aging reversal genetic drug therapies, perhaps I'll be able to help people with the energy of a 25 year old, or similar.

(Interesting research, social justice, justice and law possibilities with Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic and STEM field work, and ~200 law schools online at WUaS ... re some of these focusing questions too). Here's one direction I head in re justice - 

Abolitionism? #Abolish the #illegalSexIndustryWorldWide in all 200 countries #Abolition w new laws & effective #lawEnforcement too> https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/06/lesser-flamingo-phoeniconaias-minor.html #Quakers #NontheistFriends #NontheistQuakers #UnitarianUniversalists #WUaSpsychiatry in #RealsiticVirtualEarth #AvatarBots~

French Guyana celebrates #Abolition Day on 10 June, marking the end of #slavery in 1848.

Appreciating your ethics, Jim, of seeking to help someone every day, and regarding its sociality, so thanks for sharing this 'philosophy' of yours. (Am reminded a bit of the song sung among Quaker Friends "Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more ... it's just like a magic penny" ... and of George Alexander MDs cynical observation, whose widow is a Quaker, that 'love and $2.15 cents will get you a cup of coffee' (which he could have heard from an analysand, for all I know ...) ... and where George described himself as 'amoral' ... as a languages-oriented Lacanian psychoanalytic psychiatrist MD, where this may have been a philosophy that emerged for him too, language-wise, in his extensive clinical Lacanian psychoanalytic practice). But I don't think you're talking about love, JIm, but rather seeking to help someone every day, so thanks.  

THANKS FOR THE IDEA SHARING,
Scott
Circulation and connecting naturally are I think what my mother suggests re seeking a friend for beginning a family. If I met and connected with a 27 year old MD who had a house near Stanford, and we wanted to live together, that might open many possibilities regarding 'safe house' and life companion ... some Scottish background too? ... still circulating ... Thanks again.
