Good day!

The next  12/5/22 WUaS News and Q&A will meet in about 24 hours here - https://us04web.zoom.us/j/76356725244?pwd=hyDBtWuPvqbpHgZm4EyxNNTalSY5bL.1 - and you are welcome to join with your questions and answers, and for the generative effects of conversation.

Thanks very much to Lydia Pintscher for these helpful explanations of Wikidata, a structured knowledge database in 300 languages, and the 'back end' of Wikipedia, and which WUaS has been in since 2015 (and which is gradually connecting with https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - where you can wiki teach or learn by editing a subject you're interested in, or creating a new wiki subject, and, for example, seeing if there's a related ocw.mit.edu course or two you might like to add, or by creating a Youtube video of something you'd like to teach about and add it to the related wiki subject page at WUaS) -

In reply to some helpful accreditation ideas and emails from Sri Lanka WUaS, World Univ & Sch has responded ... and with a Sri Lanka World Univ & Sch focus, as well as 200 countries regarding WUaS accreditation -  

Sri Lanka WUaS <srilanka@worlduniversityandschool.org>, Sid Mazumdar <sid.mazumdar@gmail.com>, Marti - Maitreyi Mazumdar <maitreyi.mazumdar@childrens.harvard.edu>, mazumdarp@gmail.com, Mainak & Sati Mazumdar <maz1@pitt.edu>, Pin - Siddartha Mazumdar <smazumdar@cms.hhs.gov>, Janie MacLeod <jkbmacleod@icloud.com>, John Kidder <jkidder@vtc.edu>, Sarah Kidder LaBombard <sarah.k.labombard@dartmouth.edu>, Joan Kidder <kidderjoan@gmail.com>

Dear Rifai at Sri Lanka WUaS, All, 

Thanks for your email and further thinking regarding World Univ & Sch accreditation possibilities. WUaS is still waiting to communicate further with the Middle States' Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. One main reason is, for CC4 licensed OCW.MIT.EDU-centric World Univ & Sch,
with MSCHE accreditation, to be able to seek reimbursement for CC4 licensed OCW courseware resources from all Departments of Education in all 50 US states and from many departments of education in all 200 countries (like MIT itself seeks tuition from students in all 200 countries due to New England Commission on Higher Education NECHE accreditation, and the University of Pennsylvania might via MSCHE). This reimbursement from departments of education in 50 US states and 200 countries for Free-to-Students' CC4 MIT OCW -centric WUaS degrees on an emerging Google WUaS platform could amount to $14,000 - $55,000 per student per year eventually from richer countries and $200-$800 per student per year via poorest countries' departments of education - and improve our WUaS MIT OCW-centric platform in 7 languages' dramatically in the process. 

I THINK WUaS WOULD SEEK TO OFFER THESE FREE DEGREES IN SRI LANKA to Sri Lankan students THROUGH the US STATE DEPARTMENT for example and potentially through WUaS's CONTACTS like PARTHA MAZUMDAR who could become US ambassador to Sri Lanka, and friend in the US State Department TYM LENDERKING who has expressed great interest in YEMEN World Univ & Sch and WUaS in all 25 of 200 official Arabic language countries and even for the US STATE Department (inviting me to his family home in New Hampshire this summer, meeting me for hiking last week halfway between Washington DC AND Pittsburgh PA 2.5 hours away for each of us, and we'll meet again 2 hours drive for each of us this week) partnering with WUaS in all 200 countries.

THANK YOU, RIFAI, for sharing some of the US state department accreditation opportunities before, and your many good suggestions. I followed up with an email letter to the 2 MIT Presidents outgoing Rafael Reif and incoming Sally Kornbluth THANKS TO YOU on Wednesday Nov 30 - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/11/american-sweetgum-liquidambar.html - and may with MIT OCW executive director Curt Newton too.

The reason I think following up with MSCHE first and then some of YOUR other good accrediting ideas in the upcoming 2-5 years is our WUaS MIT OCW centricity and in seeking to become the excellent HARVARD-MIT-STANFORD-OXBRIDGE of the INTERNET thanks to CC4 licensed MIT OCW. 

Some ACCREDITATION Agencies will offer a kind of GOLD STANDARD for QUALITY compared with others Rifai (and even regarding WUaS seeking to facilitate a single cryptocurrency world wide to most of all 7.9 billion people on the planet to end poverty too) other accreditation agencies won't. And MIT OCW-centric WUaS seeks to accredit with MSCHE in these regards, BUT HAS REACHED OUT TO MIT Presidents ON WEDNESDAY 11/30/22 - 
to increase COMMUNICATION (as NETWORKING like accreditation agencies are networks too) between MIT and WUaS especially THANKS TO YOUR SUGGESTIONS, RIFAI. 

I think WUaS MSCHE-accredited degrees almost as BRAND (like MIT degrees, which accredits with NECHE) will be a most significant thing for SRI LANKAN students especially too ... and that WUaS seeking to accredit WITHIN this NETWORK is the way forward ... so thanks Rifai for your thinking about Co or Joint Accreditation  ... The MIT BRAND or NAME ... and THANKS to CC4 licensed MIT OCW in 7 languages is WUaS's way forward ... INCLUDING REIMBURSEMENT-wise from all 200 countries  Departments of Education and FINANCIALLY ... and in WUaS seeking to hire and employ 1000s or 10s of thousands of Sri Lankans at Sri Lanka WUaS in the future 

Thank you for your ongoing thinking and idea sharing Rifai,

Regards, Scott

PS
Cambridge University's Nicholas Humphrey and all, and regarding philosophy of mind questions about consciousness: 

Is #Consciousness an intractable #scientific & #philosophical set of questions - such that a 20% chance of #DigitalSentience in 10 years seems improbable? But do #NicholasHumphrey's @Humphren 8 books on #Sentience & #BlindSight in Apes offer #PhysicalDigital #distinction (distinguishing sentience from awareness from feeling from subjectivity from mind conceptions of consciousness presumably all emerging from the brain, and or our body minds) & #coding possibilities?

ethical track record at CC4 ocw.mit.edu -centric World University and School 



Dear Stephon, Lieutenant John Tadler, Kenneth Thompson MD, Shawn Flaherty, Esq., All, 

In some of these regards possibly, this just popped up on Twitter from the smart Marc Andressen of Silicon Valley, an interesting technologist over decades ... and regarding WUaS Robotics too ... 

... and retweeted here - https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand ... 

Overheard in Silicon Valley:
"First Law: A robot may not injure a human being.
Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings.
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence.
Fourth Law: A robot must lie like a mofo."

Seeking to continue to build a great ethical & legal track record for World University and School - 



Consciousness is such an intractable scientific and philosophical set of questions, that a 20% possibility Digital Sentience in 10 years seems a little bit improbable ...
