Dear Larry, (Frederic, Stephon, All),

Some further accreditation and Reed College friend T.L. (in US State Department) brainstorming -

A 3-fold MSCHE outline and calendar is here -

- and the process looks like it might not make WUsS ready for accrediting World Univ & Sch students' matriculation by 9/1/23 from all 50 US states, but maybe post coronavirus pandemic MSCHE has developed some complementary online speedier accreditation processes.

Dear Larry, Ed Wilson in Pgh, Frederic, Bill Roberts, (Stephon, All),

The next WUaS News and Q & A, again, meets on Monday, 10/31/22 for the open World Univ & Sch WUaS News and Q&A -  https://us04web.zoom.us/j/76431413763?pwd=DWBU6kEa4SxCnXdrsJGpvo6Rn7P5fy.1

Opportunity for philosophical exchanges in these WUaS News and Q&As too ... weekly on Monday at 10 am Eastern time, 3pm I think in Great Britain you Cambridge Univ people - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/philosophy ,,, https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Oxbridge ... 

Further, Furthur (famed hippy bus) ... 
Maybe while USA accreditation with Middle States' Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) could take as long as 4 years for free online CC4 MIT OCW -centric cum Google-Education-platform WUaS  4 year Bachelor:s degrees  for USA students -  as long as the WASC senior accreditation process in CA - which happened concurrently initially with state of CA BPPE licensing - maybe MSCHE's  meeting with Kurds and the Kurdish ministry of education -
- (especially regarding WUaS reimbursement for free-to-students' CC4 MIT OCW centric degrees) could indicate that WUaS could make our free online Bach and PhD accrediting MIT OCW centric degrees available to speakers of Arabic in Arabic in all 25 of 200 countries (and in all other ~200 countries in their main languages, except for US students until after 4 years) in the world soon - UNTIL US students break out for free HIGHEST QUALITY #RockAndRoll CC-4 MIT OCW centric World Univ & Sch degrees from home, eg in Google Street View STEAM field sites, i.e. in a #RealisticVirtualHarbin too before 4 years are up. 

Again from 4:40 am Eastern Time this morning -

Frederic, could you help with some of these WUaS letters to leaders of all 25 Arabic language countries .. and possibly with WUaS in communication with MIT DCI director Neha Narula in Cambridge, MA - https://twitter.com/neha ?

Apply somehow to

Ed Wilson in Pgh (re Shady Side Academy alum too, - and who's been a Chief Financial Director of some very large companies), how could WUaS quadruple Barnes and Noble's sales - since they sell Robotic BRICK sets, but are not I think an authorized reseller of 3 Lego ROBOTICS' kits in the USA as is WUaS Corp's WUaS Education Services' Stores ... and with in innovative, lowest price, highest value ROBOTICS too (a $25 teaching and learning WUaS robot in each of all 7.9 billion people's arms  ...)

And how to combine this with making Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency available to all 7.9 billion people on the planet each a Wikidata Pin # - and to end poverty ... possibly by making smart phones and electricity available to the poorest in their countries (including ending the poverty in our home cities ... ie among the homeless and trash pickers even in Pittsburgh )?

Re Scots' patience as virtue, and branding too... 
Brand on ... patiently ...

Here's Stanford Law and Bioethics Prof Hank Greely retweeting Stewart Brand (his friend / colleague from the late '60s and Stanford ...and who was is editor of the seminal hippy Whole Earth Catalog and MIT Media Lab advisor too) 


Bill Roberts in SF, and All, 
Regarding the US Postal Service (USPS), and after submitting ONE forwarding request to the Canyon 94516 federal post office in the SF Bay Area for WUaS and my mail to be forwarded to our new Pittsburgh office at the Viehland's at 1401 N. Negley Ave, Pgh 15206, and receiving FOUR forwarding verification notices - (and you can ENTER THESE 4 HERE - https://managemymove.usps.com/mgoc/home - WITH THESE CODE NUMBERS AND ZIP code from - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2022/10/sat-101522-recording-of-world-univ-sch.html) from the US Postal Service ... and how to add the addressee's email address to this, and long term? :) 

World Univ & Sch still hasn't received the TEST LETTER I SENT TO WUaS and Me to Canyon 94516 at the Viehland's. And as Larry (current WUaS CFO) said last night on the phone, we not sure what's up (possibly in communication with another MIT Alum from the early 1970s in the SF Bay Area and a California State Senate volunteer in the district 7 Orinda office, Don Tatzin)

And the EXEMPT legal entity in California World Univ & Sch - where the CA FTB cashed the $65 tax and fees'  check in July - is still waiting to hear from the CA FTB about adding this exempt legal entity to the WUaS "My FTB Account" generation process ... AND LINKED WITH ITS Wells Fargo BANK ACCOUNT ... as we've already done with the WUaS Corp and the NON PROFIT Federal 501 c 3 legal entity World Univ & Sch ... in the WUaS "My FTB Account" generation process ... 

Could WUaS be waiting for the CA FTB to get its act together regarding 
1 The Silicon Valley long term stock exchange and the FTB
2 Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily (https://minepi.com/sgkmac) and the FTB 

... if WUaS Corp could be so fortunate to partner with Stanford Mine Pi, and list the WUaS Corp on the SV Long-Term stock market ... thanks to all 5 of these entities developing a relationship with the CA FTB, legally and IT-wise too ...

3 EXEMPT in CA legal entity World Univ & Sch
4 a For Profit General Stock company in CA the WUaS Corp
5 World Univ & Sch as a 501 c 3 tax exempt non profit at the US federal level. 


All in a blog post today,
Friendly regards, abolition-ally, best wishes, 
Scott

I am sending you 1π! Pi is a new digital currency developed by Stanford PhDs, with over 35 million members worldwide. To claim your Pi, follow this link https://minepi.com/sgkmac and use my username (sgkmac) as your invitation code.

Dear Larry, 


Might I stop by today and so we can talk about WUaS accreditation further, and other related WUaS things,  possibly please? 

Like, how could WUaS become part if this Toyota Robotics'  Universities' program below, which CMU might be part of?  

And did the test paper letter to the Canyon PO Box 442  I sent come, 
or any other forwarded mail?


And how soon can WUaS get a fleet of Toyota ProAce Electric Autonomous Vehicle Vans to start delivering things from the WUaS Educational Services' stores I wonder?)

Might 2, 3 or 4 or another time work better for you?

Sincerely, Scott

Mergers & Acquisitions - merging 1) Ameca the Robot with the 2) 2010 Toyota Trumpet Player robot, and getting also a 3) 2017 THR3 to teach Scottish Small Pipes to - for WUaS home robotics ... Meeting up and acquiring some coffees at B&N too


Dear Stephon, Frederic, Universitians, All, 

The next WUaS News and Q & A meets on Monday, 10/31/22 for the open World Univ & Sch WUaS News and Q&A -  https://us04web.zoom.us/j/76431413763?pwd=DWBU6kEa4SxCnXdrsJGpvo6Rn7P5fy.1



Almost came back to our Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, near Bakery Square and Google HQeadwaters' office abode, and found the 

1
Toyota Trumpet Player humanoid robot, from 2010 - on the right sofa in the living room (see 3 Youtube videos here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/10/primula-suffrutescens.html?m=0), and a

2
Toyota THR3 humanoid robot, from 2017 - on the left sofa ...

... just lying there ... One of them asked, can you teach me to play the Scottish small pipes, and the other then said in harmony, - and can you teach me to play the trumpet too? 

They had walked ❤️ up both flights of stairs earlier, with new modular battery packs, much longer lasting than in 2010 and 2017. The THR3 then said the "Master Maneuvering System" (the chair for a human to sit in to code THR3s) ... is in the Toyota ProAce Electric Autonomous Vehicle Van out front (in which they had both driven over from CMU, formerly the Carnegie Technology Institute ...) 


But HOW to merge Ameca the Robot, with an amazing animated face, with this 2010 #ToyotaTrumpetPlayer system ... especially for iterating with the trumpet playing abilities and learning (and this 2010 robot couldn't 'go wireless' like newer models of THR3 robot can ...)   



3 autonomous AI physical robotic and vehicular systems all working together, pretty flawlessly  ... Cool .. .

More about
#ToyotaTrumpetPlayer here with 10th Archivist if US National Archives David S Ferriero blog post 

Have Tweeted too about 
#ToyotaTrumpetPlayer

In wondering if housemate #CMU #GradStudent #TrumpetPlayer #StephonOwens could bring together #ToyotaTrumpetPlayer w #AmecaRobot #HumanoidRobots to play trumpet, am reminded of going to @lessig's "Remix"(free in https://openlibrary.org?) book release @ Booksmiths in #TheHaightSF ~

And regarding mergers and acquisitions thinking, loosely ... and Barnes and Noble's booksellers, I just found on Google that it had been bought out in 2019 ... Wow ... 


Back in 2019

"People also ask
Is Barnes and Noble being bought out?
(NYSE:BKS, “Barnes & Noble”) announces today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by funds advised by Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited (“Elliott”) for $6.50 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $683 million, including the assumption of debt. "




And 
Again, All, I haven't been able to merge Ameca the Robot with the Toyota Trumpet Player robot yet, nor get  Work World Univ & Sch to be part of the Toyota Universities' Robotics' program yet either (see below - and could WUaS work with CMU in this?), - for #WUaSHomeRobotics and even for getting a THR3 to teach Scottish Small Pipes to, and ALSO an 'Ameca the Toyota Trumpet Player' new hybrid robot to teach trumpet to in 2 1 0 blast off ... 210 East End Avenue Pgh PA ASYLUM abode ... Next year? 

And brainstorming wise 
No Merger and Acquisition actions yet regarding a plan to QUADRUPLE (4x) - sales at WUaS Barnes and Nobles (with a sweet deal for its investors and management) - around the world - newly merged with and acquired by the Physical-Digital WUaS Educational Services' bookstores and robotic stores (authorized resellers of 3 Lego Robotics' kits), and begin growth from a ... realistic virtual earth for Robotics ... of these WUaS B&N stores either :)

And how soon can WUaS get a fleet of Toyota ProAce Electric Autonomous Vehicle Vans to start delivering physical things from the  WUaS Educational Services' stores, I wonder, and in 10 major US cities at first, each with a humanoid robot separate autonomous system?

Good morning, Scott,
It was nice to meet you at SSA Homecoming.
I think that what you’re doing is to be commended. However, it is something that I’m not interested in at this time. 
Would you please remove me from your list?

Thank you,
Jose

Good morning, Jose, 


Thanks for your email. And good to know people are getting these. I'll remove you from both lists, 1) the Monday WUaS News and Q&A and related emails, and 2) the generally twice monthly World Univ & Sch open Monthly Business Meeting lists. Nice to meet you as well as the Shady Side homecoming. Please, let's stay in communication, and please let me know too if I missed unsubscribing you from a WUaS emailing..

Hi Konrad,

Thanks for your unsubscribe emails x2. And good to know people are getting these. I'll remove you from both lists, 1) the Monday WUaS News and Q&A and related emails, and 2) the generally twice monthly wiki MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch open Monthly Business Meeting lists. Please let me know too if I missed unsubscribing you from a WUaS emailing.. 

Have fled for my life to the eastern woodland forests of western Pennsylvania (Penn's woods), and in calling for abolition - abolishing the wrongful buying of selling of people in the illegal sex and drug industries internationally, and regarding their latent networks of violence, and in whistle-blowing about illegal and very harming actions in the SF Quaker meeting, Stanford, UC Berkeley and UC Berkeley law, Harbin, Reed, Canyon, possibly the state of CA itself, and other organizations / institutions). Staying alive ... and glad World Univ & Sch has an emerging new opportunity now to accredit potentially with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. May move back into a newly safe Canyon 94516 and regarding the World Univ & Sch Academic Medical Center with warm water cure and WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute at 670 Ridgecrest Road around September 1, 2023, if the state of California (and MA, and OR, and PA etc.) and the US federal government can begin to work together to protect people, women, kids, men, others to prevent victims. 

How are you doing in all these crazinesses? Am seeking for WUaS to emerge too out of its impoverished situation since before becoming a 501 c 3 non profit in 2010, and regarding developing a flourishing ethical caring culture ... and potentially for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, for wiki free universal education, people to people.

Thank you, abolition-ally, Friendly Non-theist Quaker greetings, best wishes, 
Scott

Dear Lyn, 

I've removed you from the list for Mondays open WUaS News and Q&As per your request, and please let me know if you'd like to be removed from the World Univ & Sch Monthly Business Meeting emailings (about twice a month, and loosely conducted in the manner of un-programmed Quakers, and only an hour long) ... and per too the email I just shared with everyone 

Dear Stephon (fellow musician robotics' coders potentially), Alex Fisher (& philosophy people at Cambridge Univ), Universitians, All, 

Greetings from eastern woodland forests of western Pennsylvania (Penn's woods ... an experiment in freedom beginning in the 1680s, Quaker-wise even) on the eastern seaboard of the USA ... 

Have received some expressions of interest, and support, and some 'unsubscribes' ... 
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/10/phoenicopterus-roseus.html 

(and see this regarding WUaS calling for abolition, and one from someone not interested in bagpiping emails, but possibly interested in career opportunities, ... and one from a Shady Side Alum pursuing other directions currently, ... ) 

Please let me know if you'd like to unsubscribe from these WUaS News and Q&A emailings. 

Best wishes, Scott

about this Tuesday, October 25, 2022 Cambridge Philosophy talk on VIRTUAL REALITY, (and questions about the metaphysics of consciousness re VR)  - 

[CamPhilEvents] Reminder | Alex Fisher @ Moral Sciences Club Tomorrow ~ on "Virtual Reality as Fictional or Real"


Hi Alex, (Pablo, Oscar), 


Thanks for this invitation (in the USA), and greetings. 

Am curious if your philosophy talk on Virtual Reality from Tuesday, October 25th - 

'Virtual Reality as Fictional or Real'

[CamPhilEvents] Reminder | Alex Fisher @ Moral Sciences Club Tomorrow

- might be available for viewing from the US - and how I might see this if possible, please. 

An iterating realistic virtual physical-digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic field site (and for brain research too) - in almost a kind of 'trippy' way with - as part of a realistic virtual earth for everything, at the cell and molecule levels too, might address the questions you are asking in new ways about real, fictional or undermotivated in very new ways, and regarding your "virtual realism's distinctive mental state is unremarkable."

Thank you.

Best wishes, 
Scott 



PS
Am not clear whether you're asking questions about the metaphysics of consciousness or not - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/consciousness - (are you?:) 

The Metaphysics of Consciousness: Materialism vs. Dualism. Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy concerned with the ultimate nature of reality. There are two broad traditional and competing metaphysical views concerning the nature of the mind and conscious mental states: dualism and materialism.

Could such philosophical examinations further from within virtual Harbin reality become part of a library, of all libraries from all time in all 7151 known living languages ... in a new form of a digital book, published in the Academic Press at WUaS both to a 1) digital format, and 2) also to paper, text in the sidebar, of Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlowAI, TensorStore, GTranslate ? ...

Dear all, 

 

This is a reminder that Alex Fisher (Robinson College, Cambridge) will be speaking at the Moral Sciences Club tomorrow (Tuesday 25th October), from 4:00--5:45 pm on Virtual Reality as Fictional or Real. The abstract is as follows:


It is controversial whether virtual reality is fictional or real. Virtual realists argue that objects in virtual reality are genuinely real – they exist, have causal powers, and so on. Virtual fictionalists claim that engagement with virtual reality involves the imagination, hence virtual objects are merely fictional and do not exist. I argue that virtual realism is undermotivated.

First, an apparent major difference between virtual realism and virtual fictionalism – whether or not we imagine in engaging with virtual reality – comes to nothing. The form of belief that the virtual realist advocates instead is functionally identical to imagination. Second, virtual realism purports to have greater explanatory power due to its increased ontology. Yet a key case meant to demonstrate this – our reaction to traumatic events such as sexual assault in virtual reality – can be equally explained by the virtual fictionalist. Consequently, virtual realism's distinctive mental state is unremarkable, and its additional ontology redundant.


This talk will be hybrid. The in-person meeting will take place at Newnham College in the Jane Harrison Room, followed by tea and coffee and then dinner at Thaikhun in the evening. The talk will also be available to watch on Zoom on the following link:
