Riffing on "The Way of the Gene, and Ethics: Aging Reversal, Extreme Longevity, and Sex"

This title suggests a fascinating exploration of the ethical implications of groundbreaking scientific advancements. It appears to delve into the intersection of genetics, bioethics, and human desire. Here's a potential riff on the book's content:


Potential Themes and Topics:

 * Ethical Implications of Genetic Engineering:
   * The moral dilemmas surrounding altering the human genome.
   * The potential for unintended consequences and societal disruption.
   * The role of regulation and oversight in genetic research.

 * The Pursuit of Immortality and Extreme Longevity:
   * The psychological and societal impacts of indefinite lifespan.
   * The economic and resource implications of an aging population.
   * The potential for a new era of human evolution.

 * The Role of Sex and Reproduction in a Post-Aging World:
   * The future of human sexuality and relationships.
   * The impact of genetic engineering on human reproduction.
   * The ethical considerations of creating designer babies.

 * The Taoist Perspective on Genetics and Longevity:
   * The harmony between nature and technology.
   * The balance between individual desire and collective well-being.
   * The importance of mindfulness and moderation in the pursuit of longevity.


Possible Book Structure:

 * Part I: The Science of Aging Reversal
   * A deep dive into the latest research and technologies.
   * An exploration of the genetic mechanisms underlying aging.
   * A discussion of the potential benefits and risks of genetic interventions.

 * Part II: The Ethical Landscape
   * A critical analysis of the moral implications of genetic engineering.
   * A consideration of the social and economic consequences of extended lifespan.
   * A debate on the right to choose and the limits of human enhancement.

 * Part III: The Taoist Perspective
   * A philosophical exploration of the meaning of life and death.
   * A discussion of the role of nature and technology in human flourishing.
   * A call for a balanced approach to aging, longevity, and genetic engineering.

By blending cutting-edge science with ancient wisdom, this book could offer a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the future of humanity.
Would you like to brainstorm more specific chapter titles or potential arguments within these themes?

The Way of the Gene 


"The Way of the Gene" refers to the scientific study of how genes function, including how they are passed down from parents to offspring, how they influence traits, and how their expression can be regulated by environmental factors; essentially, it explores the fundamental mechanisms of genetics and how they shape an organism's characteristics. 
 
Key points about "The Way of the Gene":
Genes as instructions:
Genes are segments of DNA that contain the code to build proteins, which are the building blocks of cells and responsible for various bodily functions. 
 
Genetic inheritance:
Through the process of meiosis, individuals inherit half of their genes from each parent, leading to variations in traits within a population. 
 
Gene expression:
Not all genes are "turned on" all the time; cells can regulate which genes are expressed based on their needs and environmental conditions. 
 
Mutations:
Changes in the DNA sequence can create mutations, which may have positive, negative, or neutral effects on an organism. 
 
Epigenetics:
This field studies how environmental factors can influence gene expression without altering the DNA sequence itself, impacting development and disease risk.

Greetings ... lit up Hippies' lit just ain't the same as having lived through the 1960s and 1970s ... How about in a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs in G Street View with a time slider, for book publishing @ WUaS Press in brand new innovative ways, text in the sidebar - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 - eg from Google Street View to new hardware devices, digital masks, multimedia rooms, brainwave headsets as books!, and also to paper ?   

IN what ways Can or will or might we be able to revisit the 1960s and 1970s again in, enter into, a realistic virtual earth, in a realistic virtual earth for history? ... And in what ways will we be able to enter into a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs too in Google Street View with a time slider in 1975 here -~ https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ and talk with founder Ishvara / Bob Hartley THEN (Harvard alum too), when Harbin became Heart Consciousness Church as a 501 c 3 too ... and who still is alive in the Middletown area I think  ... and differently say from time sliding forward in GStreet View  to 1993 and talking with Sunheart Sunheart, now deceased, but my friend and main informant in my first book, and also with at-one-time Harbin HCC's CEO Sajjad Wynne too (both people who arrived at Harbin around 1980), all three having lived through the 1960s in very different ways and from PHOTOS and other documents becoming avatar (agent generative artificial intelligence) people? 

In this Proposed Reedie + book group, 1st time on December 14, 2024 potentially, might we all become readers of this new kind of book emerging to be published from G Street View with time slider with tensorflow AI by the WUaS Press to both 1) paper and to / in 2) new hardware formats even as well ... and possibly via a new social theory and social science method I'm calling https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy?

Pin, Ma, Ed, the email that disappeared from the "Re: Thanks for the Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition information Tue July 2, 2024" was one where just as sending this email, the email asked if I wanted to not include owner Scott Brewer's email address (since he is out of my network it said - possibly thanks fo Peter Norvig's coding) ... and I deleted Scott Brewer's email ... But had included as you may have seen a further note to US Senator Elizabeth Warren  (and if an investigation into 'wedgie-owned' and Japanese  international  Organized crime in Toyota could be going on, and one of Brewer's 'plays' (like in football & as a U Pitt alumnus too) could be stealing cars and murdering the owners tragically too ... There may be Google or US federal law with AI OR Toyota Japan Security investigation into Toyota Motors USA  regarding the removal of my last email to BAT Airport Toyota ... which could be a good thing ... Light is still on on my dashboard and this is a safety issue too. I posit 🙏  that Brewer Airport Toyota, one of their employees, negated saying along the way yesterday "the light is not going off" maybe James Meyers, Eddie, or Marvin the manager at 7:50 pm the night before ... Staying alive, still worrying about the light on my dashboard, glad I've sought US federal protection for my mother, Sandy and myself, seeking to move back into a newly safe Canyon 94516  (per US federal lawyer Robin Phillip's email RSVP to the proposed Reedie+ book group - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/10/san-gabriel-mountains-national-monument.html - and speculatively and brainstorming-wise, in some of these regards, will tribes or family members be able to sell sex for money in the back of Toyota vans parked in Toyota Service Centers in the USA even  legally in the future ... And I would ADD if the mode of currency exchange is less than 50 k per Robin's email above, AND with Pi cryptocurrency and with both US FEDERAL and states' law enforcement  and AI & ML ...eg and how about by the side of the road anywhere in PA too in a van or a truck or similar? ... Staying alive from international Organized  crime - re my father's GKM MD 1st subdural hematoma in Belize on 12/30/04 and death therefore on 11/25/07 ... as new law even may be being written ...thanks to Robin Phillips as a US federal lawyer re trucking industry, which she has been involved with at the US federal level, too for her RSVP ... and glad to have sought US federal investigation into Longwood senior center and US federal protection for you Ma, Sandy and myself ... Sending love, 💕, abolition-ally, staying alive, in Asylum in PA from CA, Scott (and glad I suppose AI may have done something different  than i tended with the email I sent to Airport Toyota yesterday morning - and in my seeking to stay alive from international organized crime !

 AND I also recognize in all of this that there is competition for Nobel Prizes and regarding Toyota possibly funding??? the Nobel Prize organization and authors like Ishiguro even (re Nobel Lit Prize laureate Kazuo Ishiguros' "Klara and the Sun" book about humanoid robotics, which I had showed and mentioned to Brewer Airport Toyota's Donnie Sippel ) ... and as I left this place early the next morning, Oct 8, 2024 ... after BAT wouldn't turn the tire puncture light on my dashboard off ... as part of their official check in process ... and as I seek to stay alive and grow a WUaS abolition movement worldwide ... for all 7.9 billion people ...

Reedies +, Robin (Phillips), Bay Area Reedies +, Gabrielle, Byron & Cindy, Jim, Ed & Valerie, Gantt, Jo Anne, Konrad (Alt), Steve (Carlson), Janet (Gunzner), (PLEASE FORWARD TO other Reedies in group whose emails I couldn't find), and greetings friends, 

Thanks so much for your email RSVP Robin to a "Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 ..." at 670A Ridgecrest Road, PO box 442, Canyon CA 94516 on Sat December 14, 2024, beginning around 7, potluck beginning from 5pm (with at least some food on a table), and with some folks arriving at 4 pm (who might be wanting to explore beautiful Canyon 94516 up on the ridge above Indian Valley in East Bay MUD) ... Steve and Janet ... would you like to come too? (Bring your book reading families and tribes as well :).

But all of this is contingent on my being able to move into a newly safe Canyon 94516 from being in asylum in Penn's Woods, western Pennsylvania (since fleeing for my life, I think, from the SF Bay Area in August of 2022, and as a whistle-blower and having called the local police both from Canyon, and from both asylum houses in Pgh PA), so stay tuned. 

What to read possibly? I actually haven't read Middlemarch, and I think my mother's suggestion from one of her 2 book groups I think, in the Pgh area, of having read a book before suggesting it for any given month's book group makes a lot of sense (eg I wasn't drawn in or inspired to read Middlemarch further after reading its first few pages; if someone might recommend Middlemarch in this proposed book group in the future because they've read it - and eg because some consider it a greatest novel - great ... please suggest it!!! ... as we figure out "Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 ..." process further ... and per this email thread as well).

So what possibly to read for 12/14/24 - and as a starter "read"?

Robin, since you've so WONDERFULLY RSVP-ed and all the way from Washington DC / Alexandria Virginia ... for a "Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 ..." at 670A Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516 ... what book, that you've read, would you suggest for a very first proposed Reedie+ book group ? Something super inspiring book-wise from the field of history (which you studied at Reed, or Law, which you studied at Willamette University in Salem Oregon ... and does it have a legal competence in {Oregon} hippy law even?:) Or a book - hippy-wise - that you would suggest or found inspiring even (since Canyon 94516 in the woods of East Bay MUD, about 8 miles southeast of Berzerkeley, has some hippy roots as well) .. 


{In some of these regards, I searched on (for a starting BREIF read) - 

best short stories under 10 pages



Oscar Wilde short stories came up too - taking the piss out of Victorian society ... I think ... 


But how about The Desiderata - which I'm hereby calling a book - 
The Desiderata - 

... since the Desiderata short, and offers fascinating words to live by (philosophy-wise somehow, and see too - https://x.com/Q_YogaMacFlower/status/1815700381474689273 - with the Desiderata as a Yoga idea, I posit ... and more, and with my having taught Yoga in Canyon 94516 in the past) ... }

A book suggestion, Robin? - and since you so wonderfully RSVP-ed to this "Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 ..." ... and I don't even know if I'll be living there yet (still in limbo as I am) ... 

Thank you for your RSVP, Robin! (Robin and I were housemates in my first Reed (communal) House, the Clinton Street House, from January-May 1980 - n'est-ce pas?)

Reed reading regards all, 
Scott

Dear Robin (Phillips), Bay Area Reedies +, Gabrielle, Byron & Cindy, Jim, Ed & Valerie, Gantt, Jo Anne, Konrad (PLEASE FORWARD TO other Reedies in group whose emails I couldn't find), and greetings friends. 

Great to hear from you as well, Robin (since last time we met, I think, you were in little HOUSE in LaGrande in Eastern Oregon - some 10 years ago (where my cousin, Annie Brown Brown of nearby Wisdom Creek Ranch, near Medical Springs, and Union, Oregon, above, too grew up in part - interestingly and curiously). Are you still both a lawyer, and working for the US federal government in one form or another - and regarding truckers too?  Thanks so much for your email, and your potential interest in the "Re: Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 or early 2025?" - 

"Hi Scott it is great to hear from you. I am still in Alexandria VA. I am still providing technical assistance and training for tribes and communities under 50k. I will be in Fresno in December for a Farmworker transportation meeting. If I am able I will see about getting  there early. Hope all is well with you."

And are you possibly RSVP-ing for a possible Sat 12/14/24 Reedie + book group ... in Canyon 94516 even - 
regarding the June 10, 2024 email in this thread "Meet in Canyon 94516 for the first book possibly on Saturday, possibly on 12/14/24, or 1/11/15 ?" 

It would be so so great to have a first Reedie + book group on 12/14/24, - but only yesterday, at my mother's suggestion, I inquired with the 'Town of Moraga" (where Byron and Cindy above live too, about 4 miles from Canyon 94516) about a list of licensed realtors for the area - https://www.moraga.ca.us/142/Contact (and see PS) - and haven't heard back yet, and I have no idea of how US federal law and states' laws working together in new ways effectively might open the way for me and MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch to move into a newly safe 670A Ridgecrest Road, WUaS POB 442, Canyon 94516 on December 1, 2024. Please stay tuned!

And who would like to suggest the first book for a possible Proposed Reedie + book group ? (Ishiguro's "Klara and the Sun" - or Bober's "Thomas Jefferson: Draftsman of a Nation" or George Eliot's "Middlemarch" - MIDDLEMARCH: George Eliot - FULL AudioBook: Part 1/4 https://youtu.be/Pte2HtOxbWM - and see PPS ?)

I've never read Middlemarch, and Gemini AI - https://g.co/gemini/share/079d810ff179 - makes it further appealing - and I appreciate too that it's the (a) 'greatest' novel. Might I propose Middlemarch for Sat 12/14/24 (if I'm out west in Canyon 94516 from an asylum place of western PA) - and at 607A Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 ... and with a potluck beforehand ?

Folks could start arriving at 4pm if so desired, potluck beginning at 5???, book group at 7 ??? (Departing Canyon 94516 in the dark in East Bay MUD can be funky ... so get your bearings as you drive in too, and GMaps should work as well ... eg I've had a wi-fi signal with T-Mobile up on the ridge there, but not down in the valley by the Canyon 94516 Post Office :)

I noticed that Amor Towles is followed on Twitter by (once upon a time hippy) Stewart Brand of The Next Whole Earth Catalog and many other fascinating books like "How Buildings Learn" (1994) and Towles has an undergraduate degree in literature from Yale, and a Master's degree from Stanford, where Brand has a degree in biology from graduating in 1960 (and Stewart is brilliant) ... so "The Best Short Stories 2024: The O.

Happy Birthday, Sandy! 

I'm writing to wish you a very happy birthday! Hoping you celebrate it in fun ways today and over this weekend. Is your baby Isla coming to your birthday parties :)? How are you celebrating?

How are you all doing? Greetings from an asylum place of western Pennsylvania, Penn's Woods, on the eastern seaboard and in seeking to move forward into a newly safe Canyon 94516 in 2024 with US federal law and states' laws working effectively together in new ways (and fascinating to see these pictures of Black US federal marshals - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/08/common-linnet.html - protecting the Black 5 year old gril Tessie Prevost in 1960 in integrating US public schools, and who just passed away in 2024). 

Greetings! Again - 
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/07/httpsen.html (Did anyone read or get into the book "Code Dependent" recommended by John Palfrey on Twitter?)

and 

And just shared this with you, and, in text messaging - 

Ma, Pin, Ed, You're wise Ma I think to 'read' for your book group, with its upcoming focus on banned books I I think, "Huck Finn" (1885, Twain) over "Spoon River Anthology" (1915, Masters) because it's a better 'read' since Marky-Twainy-baby is such a great raconteur (Amazing that as we started to listen to it Ma in the car,  on the way to Cuttyhunk on the little blue portable CD player, that it caused the 150 Watt AC-to-DC power inverter to blow out ... and with a little picturesque whiff of smoke too) ...{when and where was "Huck Finn" banned?

It began rolling off American printing presses in February of 1885. By March, librarians in Concord, Massachusetts deemed it “trash” and “suitable only for the slums.” It was the first time the book was banned in the United States, but it certainly wouldn't be the last.
AND
Set in the antebellum South, Mark Twain’s classic tale of two runaways — one escaping an abusive father, and the other escaping slavery — went straight to the heart of the question: what does it mean to be free?

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/banned-adventures-huckleberry-finn} 

... Pin, in your book group re your work, at HHS I think, (you said on Friday on the phone - and great to talk, from Mellon Park, Pgh, PA, just a few blocks away from where we lived with our families in the 2nd half of the 1970s in Pgh PA), have you had a focus on reading 'banned books' by any chance? And Ed ... re the proposed Reedie Book Group in the SF Bay Area in December 2024 or in 2025, any suggestions of books you'd like to propose to read in any given month or two - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/06/middle-santiam-wilderness-cascades.html - re possibly inspiringly excellent too? Now how to develop a freeing narrative writing style, with some parallels to UC Berkeley's Castells' thinking and Cal lectures (eg re Rise of the Network Society in the Information Age) for my upcoming "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" book and regarding a realistic virtual earth, with AI, ML, and algorithm ? Thoughts? Fond regards, Scott 

Are we meeting for a first Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in late December 2024 ?

Grandview overlook Pgh PA on Diwali F 11/1/24 ~ Dear Sonali, Nikhil, and Vik, ... 


Dear Sonali, Nikhil, and Vik, 

So great, and FUN too :), to meet and talk with you this evening at the Grandview overlook in Pittsburgh PA on Diwali! I hope your Diwali adventures continue to be fun and fascinating in Pittsburgh. Please come home safely to Buffalo, NY later on this evening!

A little about Angela and Victo's Yoga - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/11/sierra-madre-occidental-pine-oak.html (and in their blog label in my daily blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Angela%20and%20Victor%20yoga) - in today's blog post, Sonali and Nikhil and Vik.

Here's the INCREDIBLE "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI : World University IN School" article from Peter Norvig (Google AI Director) - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 which I mentioned, and re WUaS.


Vik, All, for your consideration - 

Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily - 

Pi is a new digital currency developed by Stanford PhDs, with over 55 million members worldwide. To claim your Pi, follow this link https://minepi.com/sgkmac and use my username (sgkmac) as your invitation code.

And please feel free to get Pi Cryptocurrency for yourselves to explore further!

And here's the beginning wiki Economics' subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Economics - Vik and check out the iterating MIT OCW courses, eventually for credit at WUAS toward free online degrees.

And Sonali - 

And Nikhil - 

All from - 

and not yet in Hindi or Punjabi or Telugu ... 


Nikhil, All, here's 
Nikhil Bannerjee - Raga - on iHeartRadio ... he somehow plays for western Raga ears to my way of thinking, and perhaps people from India too -  


And here's the Raga wiki subject or school at WUaS so far in English only - 

... and please check out the set of Twitter and LinkedIn posts from today with regards to the planned and emergent WUaS Educational Services STores for books, computers, robotics, groceries, retail, department stores (and think Walmart too) ... but Physical-Digital Educational Services stores in a brand new envisioning of #WUaSbookstores #WUaS retail, planned in all ~200 countries and in their main languages + ...

Warm regards, best wishes, looking forward to staying in touch, Happy travels and Happy Diwali,
Scott

Exciting week for @GoogleMaps. Hit the 2B monthly user mark, and now you can ask Maps more complex questions, thanks to Gemini’s creation, reasoning + summarization capabilities, grounded in our knowledge of 250M+ places around the world.

Sonali, Vik, Nikhil, And Salma (Yasmin in Pgh, from Andhra Pradesh and with an US CS Master's degree, like Nikhil, but interested in doing a possible MBA in Business too -  https://www.linkedin.com/in/salma-yasmin), All, 

Please Introduce yourselves to one another and connect India-wise ...

Very nice to meet and talk with you Friday evening 11/1/24 at the Grandview overlook in Pittsburgh PA, Sonali, Vik, Nikhil. How did your trip in Pittsburgh and back to Buffalo go? What else did you see and whom else did you meet and talk with (if anyone)? What did you see?

NIKHIL, VIK, Sonali, can we explore developing a first World Univ & Sch WUaS Education Services Store Bookstore Computer Store Robotics Store Grocery Store Retail Department Store in Telugu speaking parts of India (Andhra Pradesh, Telegana +) WITH Walmart software and IT but World Univ and Sch NAME in Telugu and then potentially in the Punjab in Punjabi +? And could people buy things there with Pi cryptocurrency eventually ... AND could you write your Cornell University economics' PhD about some part of this too ?  

More about this soon in tomorrows WUaS News and Question & Answer ... soon, to come.


Blogged about some of this email thread here -


AND, again, Salma and All -

Just blogged about some of this here in Tue 8/6/24 Eturnagaram-wildlife-sanctuary in daily blog post - 

and regarding especially Salma your interest in a possible WUaS free MBA (as WUaS accredits) and even regarding starting the WUaS Educational Services' Stores (for books, robotics, computers, hospital technologies, grocery stores, department stores, cafes ... and regarding outreach for MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's free degrees for Telugu speakers from home ... all ~95 million Telugu speakers many in south India ... and possibly as part of the WUaS free 2 year MBA degree process ... and possibly with MIT faculty at least from CC-4 licensed MIT OCW  + courses ...  and re https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 and as WUaS Grows with Google ..)

Kind regards, Namaste, best wishes, 

Scott

Some further thoughts -

1
Nikhil, all,
I just asked Gemini AI about Steve Jobs and his time at Reed College in Portland Oregon where I went to college and learned something new -

"Steve Jobs attended Reed College for one semester in the fall of 1972. He then dropped out but continued to audit classes for another 18 months."


I matriculated at Reed in Portland Oregon in 1979 and graduated in 1985 ...


2 
Out of curiosity, 
I also asked Gemini AI if Buffalo or Bison lived on the eastern Seaboard of the USA ... and appreciated the definitive answer once again in a new way ... Yes and thousands of years ago ... Maybe at least 12000 years ago to the middle of the 1800s ... re the NY state city's name where you met ... and with 'Buffalo' town names around Pgh too.


"Bison fossils from around 12000-9000 yrs ago I think, the end of the Cenozoic and Pleistocene eras,  have been found in several locations along the Eastern Seaboard, including Virginia, Maryland, and Kentucky."


3 
And yes ...

The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) is the accreditation agency for both Cornell University and SUNY Buffalo in New York state.



and regarding MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch WUaS which is seeking to accredit with MSCHE but THROUGH #GrowWithGoogle (with which WUaS is collaborating) ...





4 
Want to develop the academic subjects you know some about -

eg the beginning wiki Economics' subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Economics - Vik, and check out the iterating MIT OCW courses, eventually for credit at WUAS toward free online degrees ...

And Sonali - 

And Nikhil - 

And for Business Management Salma see - 


IN
the Hindi, Punjabi and Telugu languages + the other 19 scheduled languages in India partly as Large Language Models as wiki schools for open teaching and learning 



And again, want to begin the Physical-Digital WUaS Educational Services Stores first in India  in Telugu speaking areas especially with its coastline ?
