Dear Byron & Cindy, Donna L., Robin (Phillips, US Federal lawyer in RTAP now), Bay Area Reedies +, Gabrielle, Jim, Ed & Valerie, Gantt, JoAnne, Konrad (Alt), Steve (Carlson), (& PLEASE FORWARD TO other Reedies + in group whose emails I couldn't find, and/or whom you'd like to invite), - and Kai! - and greetings, friends, All, 


Greetings on F January 10, 2025, and from the Woodside county library, not far from the Pigeon Point Lighthouse youth hostel on the incredible Pacific ocean (and having moved my things west from asylum on the eastern seaboard, departing western Pennsylvania on Tu 12/31/24, and getting to Canyon 94516 on Sat, January 4, 2025, into which I'm seeking to move forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center with virtual Harbin Hot Springs' warm water cure with WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute soon, and with state of California and US federal law working effectively in new ways). How are you all doing, and what are you reading? 

1
Here are some favorite science fiction books from Bill Gates - 

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir,
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein, and
The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/williamhgates_my-favorite-science-fiction-books-bill-activity-7280624877789749248-C3I_/  ... (which I haven't read yet to possibly recommend them for the "Proposed Reedie + Book Group" (and offshoot proposed Reedie outdoors' and hot springs' adventuring group) ... ). Has anyone read them, and would anyone like to recommend one for a specific month's  "Proposed Reedie + Book Group" ? I learned of Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro's "Klara and the Sun" from a Bill Gates' xmas recommended books' list - https://www.gatesnotes.com/books/reading-lists/reader/www.gatesnotes.com/books/reading-lists/reader/holiday-books-2024 - and would like to suggest it as a book for some of us to read for a "Proposed Reedie + Book Group" a few months ahead ... (March?) ... 


2
And here's a brief video clip from the initial  #ProposedReedieBookGroup #SFBayAreaWUaS on Saturday, Dec 14th, 2024, after my first drive west across the country to the SF Bay Area from Pgh PA in the past 4 weeks, and leaving my 2016 Toyota Prius c in the SF Bay Area for a few weeks before driving a UHaul truck with my things to the SF Bay Area (departing again on Tu 12/31/24) - 

Initial #ProposedReedieBookGroup #SFBayAreaWUaS (#videoWUaS reading #TheDesiderataWUaS as #bookWUaS) in #Canyon94516 in front of #USFedGovt #Canyon94516USPostOffice on Sat 12/14/24 driving west from #InAsylumWUaS on #USeasternSeaboard w #USFedLaw working w #USStatesLawWUaS newly








Retweeting this with 4:22 minute video (but on Twitter it's about 30 seconds) & in reading Desiderata  

(Could Byron Hann in nearby Moraga and Robin Phillips, coming from a Farmworkers' Transportation meeting in Fresno, with RSVPing, have even driven by the Canyon 94516 during this initial Proposed Reedie Book Group ?::)


3
Byron, could you build and float and fly N-dimensionally a Flywire Connectome Drosophila fly brain in the middle of the Canyon 94516 shop in an emerging Realistic Virtual Earth, with a focus on the molecular level and even molecular imaging datasets? 

Some sets of Tweets - 
In what ways could Reed College friend Byron Hann MD build a #NDimensional #WUaSHospitalRoom in #Canyon94516 and at the molecular level for aging reversal?

3 b
So sorry to learn that Byron's father passed away recently ... my condolences, Byron!


3 c
And in what ways could we begin to publish new books from Google Street View with time slider, text in the sidebar, from such a realistic virtual earth ... and such that our "Proposed Reedie + Book Group" might even read them in new ways (eg my 2nd Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book project ... where we could all also enter into a #RealisticVirtualHarbin Hot Springs ... and for soaking from home in our home bathtubs eg for the relaxation response meditation :: ) 


Suggestions of a book to read which you've read and found inspiring, or similar, and for an upcoming "Proposed Reedie + Book Group" - and a month as well (and where too) ... Canyon 94516 may become a possibility soonish for the first 1 or 2 )? And might there be interest in a virtual aspect to this ... for those who might live far from the SF Bay Area ... and would like to join this conversation? Stay tuned! 

Reed regards, 
Scott

Salutations! So great to visit with you yesterday Byron and Cindy, and what a surprise that you were home on Larch Avenue in Moraga, and with your garage open, 4 miles away from Canyon 94516, and building further the new little garden shed/ house? next to your main house! Would you be up for building, Byron, the first and prototype #WUaSMultimediaBarn #WUaSMultimediaRoom #WUaSHospitalRoom ... and even for aging reversal at the molecular level, and extreme longevity (and as a UCSF research scientist with a focus on molecular oncology)? In the shop in 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516 (without converting it into a barn roof for more space up top initially!)

See some of you at 4pm PT in front of the Canyon CA 94516 United States Post Office on the (free) bench ... potentially. Robin? 

And might you, Byron and Cindy, and JoAnne in Berkeley,  like to meet for the next "Proposed Reedie + book group" in January 2025 on the 2nd or 3rd Saturday, and either in Canyon 94516 ... or might it be possible to explore meeting in your home in Moraga even for this next one?

And what happens when we call a prose poem a 'book' (such as 'The Desiderata' - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html) - and regarding this initial "Proposed Reedie + book group" in Canyon 94516 this afternoon at 4pm PT. Does this open the possibility of reading any poem as a book? Does this expand the number of books in the world exponentially? Does calling 'The Desiderata' - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html - book, as prose, change how we think about it, compared to calling it a poem, I wonder?

Next month, January? 

Depending on who comes, and what's happening in front of the US Post Office in Canyon 94516 too, hoping to potentially read the 'The Desiderata' prose 'book' - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html - to my smartphone, and potentially post this to Twitter even as the first  "Proposed Reedie + book group" in Canyon 94516 ... Since I don't have wifi in the Canyon 94516 valley along the Pinehurst Road, unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to live stream this first book group in a Zoom video conferencing call or similar ... but perhaps we could explore this at some point in the future ... if there is interest from Reedies far from the SF Bay Area ... Seeking to get this "Proposed Reedie + book group" up and working the first couple of times physically ... but I do appreciate the possibility for 2 or 3 channels of communication in Video conferencing (1) audio in the video and 2) text +) ... and which makes it possible for many to share great, focused (in text) ideas concurrently even ... and for this also to become a document for further consideration (which happened in a course I've taught for years on Harvard's virtual island in the 3D group buildable virtual world of Second Life) ... How to do this even in Google Street View with time slider at a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs, and as STEAM field site, as well as classrooms?

Here - 
at the Harbin Hot Springs' gate house (and check out the time slider!)

Great to see you and visit Reedie Byron and Cindy yesterday in Moraga 4 miles form Canyon 94516!

See some of you soon potentially, 
Scott

Wonderful to see Reedie Byron and Cindy (Hann MDs) in nearby-to-Canyon-94516 Moraga this afternoon, after I drove in to the 
SF Bay Area from Pittsburgh today, to help Byron with a building project, and to visit in their living room over a cup of kombucha and cheese and crackers. I had just driven through Canyon 94516 and past 670 Ridgecrest Road in Canyon 94516, which looked lived in with 5-7 (different) cars parked on this property, as well as stopped at the US post office in Canyon 94516, and spoken to the new  US postmistress there about the World Univ & Sch WUaS and my PO box 442, Canyon-94516, and told her, a US federal government employee my name (Scott) Gordon MacLeod and mentioned too I have been in asylum on the east coast for the past 2 years +.

Robin, Byron asked whether you're in the SF Bay Area too, and I said I think you are - and driving north from a Farmworker's transportation meeting in Fresno CA (and from Alexandria VA before that, where you are based) - but that I haven't yet heard from you a 2nd time since your initial RSVP. 

Robin, since 670 Ridgecrest Road in Canyon 94516 looks occupied (by the US federal government even possibly - with  the US federal govt and states' law working effectively together in new ways), let's plan to meet for the "Proposed Reedie + book group" in Canyon 94516 at 4pm in front of the US post office building on the bench at 99 Pinehurst Rd Canyon 94516 ... and then see what develops about where to meet (eg might we possibly adjourn to Byron and Cindy's house 4 miles away in Moraga instead or similar???), per your -

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." 


Robin - where are you now, and how are your plans taking shape to come to 670 Ridgecrest Road in Canyon 94516 tomorrow Sat Dec 14, 2024?

Reedies, friends, all, I continue to grow an abolition movement at MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS to protect people, WUaS students and volunteers, and in WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet from here, each a Wikidata PIN # - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and by seeking to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs and violence etc industries internationally and their latent networks of violence, so please be advised and with an invitation to join this WUaS movement ... my having called the local police in around August 2022 in Canyon 94516 at Cindy Hann MD's suggestion, moved then to a safe or unsafe house north of Berkeley, fled for my life I'd say to the eastern seaboard ... and now returning to a newly safe Canyon and SF Bay Area, may be coming into possession of this house in growing further this abolition movement. 

Another possible book title for this  "Proposed Reedie+ Book group" - by Reedie
John Sheehy
"Comrades of the Quest: An Oral History of Reed College" 2012 Oregon State University Press ... but I've only read snippets ... Konrad, if you've read the whole book, would or might you like to recommend and if so, for what  month  ? 
 
Our short 'book' for Saturday - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html ... what would or does memorizing text do? :)

(and regarding the children's book you mention, I think I'd like to add  (another short too!) book suggestion "Ferdinand the Bull" by Munro Leaf (1936) :) ... maybe for 300 years out ... and re children's books as possibly short books for this Proposed Reedie Book group ... and even regarding - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Children%27s_Literature_and_Wisdom (accessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) ... and the WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki is developing ... if only (as a bit alienating) with fundraising banners across the top of many of WUaS 743 wiki subjects, potentially from the Wikimedia Foundation ... and hopefully only very temporarily  :)

So, see some of you on Sat 12/14/24 around or after 4pm at 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 (about 8 miles southwest of Berkeley, and accessible with Google Maps too I think), and to talk about the very shore book (I'm calling this), "The Desiderata"  - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html - I hope ... for the inaugural "Proposed Reedie+ Book group" ... and please share further some titles ... I realize some of us don't know each other, but please feel free to come (with a friend potentially, if helpful) ...  

And Perhaps we can begin on Saturday to develop a list of about 12 book titles for 2025 that we've read and would like to suggest for this "Proposed Reedie+ Book group" in the SF Bay Area ... (and possibly even create a book group for the centuries and millennia ahead ... with aging reversal and extreme longevity genetic drug therapies emerging :)

Here, Grand Canyon!


View this email in your browser
Phyllis Yayotewa and her granddaughter, both of whom were raised in Grand Canyon National Park, watch a Hopi dance performance in front of the Park Visitor Center. 
It’s winter here in the New England town that Outer Voices calls home. The sun is barely making it above the horizon in these waning days of the year. It’s cold enough here on Cape Cod that the inlets are getting a skim of ice. The winter birds are returning, the winterberry is on fire. It’s a good time for new beginnings, and we are at a new beginning. 
 
We are thrilled to announce that our work at Grand Canyon National Park is now underway. We're embarking on the work of creating an audio tour embedded into a story map, that tells the story of the Park from the perspective of the people who are from the land that the Park occupies. 
 
This is the home of the Hopi Tribe, Pueblo of Zuni, Navajo Nation, Yavapai-Apache Nation, Havasupai Tribe, and the Hualapai Tribe. It’s also the home of the Kaibab, Moapa, San Juan and Las Vegas Bands of the Southern Paiute, and the Paiute Indian Tribe of Southern Utah. All of these eleven tribes call the Grand Canyon home.

In a nutshell, we hope that by listening to this tour, visitors to the Canyon - both in person and virtually - will conjure for themselves a sense of the intimacy of what it is to truly call a place home – in this case, that place is what we call Grand Canyon. Maybe in this way listeners can align themselves more closely with the people from this place, stand in their shoes a little bit, building a little common respect and mutual understanding. 

We created a pilot for this project back in April of 2023. Using tape recorded by Ryan Christensen, we created an introduction to hiking in Grand Canyon, by James Uqualla, Havasupai; and a guided tour of the murals at Desert View by Ed Kabotie, Hopi -  please give it a listen.
 
We’re immensely grateful to the people from the eleven tribes who have shared with us with so far, shaping how the work is done. We’re equally grateful to numerous Park staff who have met with us and discussed how to best collaborate with the Park to make it all happen. 
We’re honored to partner with the Grand Canyon Conservancy in doing this work, thanks to the vision and commitment of the leadership and board members and staff – a special shout out to Christina Armold and to our vital connecting link, Jenn O’Neill. Gratitude to Jan Balsom of Grand Canyon National Park for her vision in making this all happen in the first place. Park Superintendent Ed Keable’s commitment to raising indigenous voices in the Park and enthusiastic support for this project has made it possible. 

We’ll be working on this over the next couple of years. Please stay tuned. 

Meantime, great new work from Outer Voices people keeps emerging.
Cathy Fitzgerald, the queen of all things magical and mythical, has published her first children’s book, Pinch Perkins and The Midsummer Curse with Harper Collins. The very best idea is to ask your local bookstore to order it. 
John Biewen just launched Capitalism, the latest deep dive podcast series from his award winning Scene on Radio. Please take the time to give it a listen. 
 
Can we adequately express our amazement and gratitude at still being here, twenty-one years after we first started our work? 
Nope. 
It has not often been an easy ride, keeping afloat a small, independent media team dedicated to grassroots underheard voices. 
It’s taken every kind of macgyvering to persevere. 
In the end, Outer Voices’ work is truly a testament to the power of community – local and global. Every single person reading this has been a part of all this in some crucial way. 
 
So thank you, from all of us, on behalf of everyone whom we have had the greatest honor to collaborate with in telling their stories, from their perspective, in the way they have wanted to have them told, and heard. 
What a difference we have all been able to make. 
Finally, we invite you to be part of bringing more underheard stories to the airwaves and the internet. 
Join the many folks who support Outer Voices here.
 
Here’s to a warm and kind winter season for us all. 
 
Many thanks for all you do,
 
Stephanie Guyer-Stevens

Would love to begin growing these 11 Grand Canyon Native American tribes' languages at WUaS - 

"This is the home of the Hopi Tribe, Pueblo of Zuni, Navajo Nation, Yavapai-Apache Nation, Havasupai Tribe, and the Hualapai Tribe. It’s also the home of the Kaibab, Moapa, San Juan and Las Vegas Bands of the Southern Paiute, and the Paiute Indian Tribe of Southern Utah. All of these eleven tribes call the Grand Canyon home."

And how can we grow the following in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForTraveling with a #RealsticVirtualHarbin Hot Springs +? - 

"In a nutshell, we hope that by listening to this tour, visitors to the Canyon - both in person and virtually - will conjure for themselves a sense of the intimacy of what it is to truly call a place home – in this case, that place is what we call Grand Canyon. Maybe in this way listeners can align themselves more closely with the people from this place, stand in their shoes a little bit, building a little common respect and mutual understanding. "

I enjoyed the pace, and cadence, rhythm and language of this, and wonder if I could actually walk down to the bottom of the virtual Grand Canyon from home listening to this poetry prose -

"We created a pilot for this project back in April of 2023. Using tape recorded by Ryan Christensen, we created an introduction to hiking in Grand Canyon, by James Uqualla, Havasupai; and a guided tour of the murals at Desert View by Ed Kabotie, Hopi -  please give it a listen."

Some books of mine to come that are 'brewing' (and some in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForPublishing from ... and think Google Street View with time slider ... ) ... and let's talk about or possibly explore together how to write "#TheWayOfTheGeneAndEthics: #AgingReversal, #ExtremeLongevity & Sex" as 81 short prose poems (coming into conversation with the Tao Te Ching even ... and also possibly further in conversation with Gemini AI :) ...

Was glad to see Reedie Tym Lenderking in DC over Thanksgiving, and to mention this "Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning in ..." ... Well (with my mother's encouragement too on Sunday) I think I'm going to drive west (to show WUaS's and my "serious interest further" - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/12/large-magellanic-cloud-yogagenetics-how.html) from asylum in Pittsburgh to the SF Bay Area departing around Tu 12/10/24 (after picking my mother up at the airport from seeing her first grandchild again in Portland Maine) and seek to get to Canyon 94516 by Saturday, December 14, 2024 so that we could hold the first Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning at around 4pm at 670A Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516  ... Robin, thanks again so much for your RSVP and am hoping I can still welcome you to 670A Ridgecrest Road,Canyon 94516 around 4pm on 12/24/24 or when you might get there. You are all welcome to this first "Proposed Reedie+ book group" and please RSVP further if you can ... 

For this first "Proposed Reedie+ book group beginning"... shall we talk about very short 'book' "The Desiderata" - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html - as well as begin to 'pencil in' or put together a list of books to read together for 2025 ... potentially suggesting a book which we've read   ... and decide on a monthly meeting day (on the 2nd or 3rd Saturday of the month, or ...??) ... And how could or might we organize this "Proposed Reedie+ book group " party further ... such that we could have 15-20 people per gathering (over centuries or millennia or longer even?:) ... possibly developing further aspects of the Conference Method of Teaching and Learning per Reed - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - AND potentially develop an open-ended book reading community of 10-15+ Reedies+ monthly for a potluck and gathering too (potentially at a different Reedie's house monthly ) ... and again even over the centuries or millennia ahead (with extreme longevity genetic drug therapies emerging - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity /genes)  ... possibly bringing SF Bay Area Reedies together in new ways even re Reed College 'communitas' (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Reed%20College ~ https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/communitas)? Good potluck food?

Two books that I enjoyed immensely and which I might suggest for a year or two hence are:

 Nobel Laureate's Kazuo Ishiguro's 
"Klara and the Sun" (2021) 

and the comic novel 

Kiran Desai's 
"Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard" (1998)
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hullabaloo_in_the_Guava_Orchard ) "


MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School is growing, and this Canyon place may become the its first property INCREDIBLY ... and to grow too there a Physical-Digital WUaS Academic Medical Center (online in all ~200 countries) with virtual Harbin Hot Springs' warm water cure (and perhaps we can check out the cattle trough above beautiful Indian Valley about 1/3 mile from 670 on East Bay MUD land, which could become a physical simulacra of actual Harbin Hot Springs, and for physical-digital research and related processes at WUaS), and with WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute ...

Perhaps this first "Proposed Reedie+ book group ..." in Canyon will help inaugurate the above World University and School growth intellectually or re the 'life of the mind' as well :) (And the Desiderata "book" as prose poem too is short! )


In yesterday's open 12/2/24 WUaS News and Q&A, I explore further, re Reedie Tym Lenderking -  
"such that you, T.., might become US Secretary of State in 2028 or at least further up the list? "
