Taylor, 

I found this insight fascinating from 

Yo Yo Ma: 
The whole idea 'is service: it's you use your technique to transcend it in order to serve ...'


"Most of all the whole point of Solve is service. It's you use your technique to transcend it in order to serve."

Hi Taylor, 

Good music-making (bagpiping) this evening in Skype. (I didn't know you had philosophical inclinations, which I noticed in Academia.edu, even in the 'Religion' vein, which I studied and majored in at Reed College). Am finding Cellist Yo Yo Ma a remarkably virtuosic music teacher as well. 

Yo Yo Ma: 

Something like: "The whole idea is service: You use your technique to transcend it, in order to serve ..."

At about the 1:05 of this 1:34 minute MIT video:

Thank you.

Piping cheers, 
Scott

Taylor, thanks! My Reed thesis was on feminist theology and focused on Rosemary Ruether's book "Sexism and God-talk: Toward a Feminist Theology," but one of my junior qualifying exams was on the problem of evil (re theodicy and John Hick's work - https://www.iep.utm.edu/hick/). Am now somewhat atheistically Quaker inclined (Nontheist Friends - or NtFs), UU too, - although my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, especially creating a realistic virtual Harbin - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualHarbin?src=hashtag_click - for soaking too is a main focus these days (a bit on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic), and I suppose am a bit of a Harbin-ite in some ways as well; see: https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity). Reed's Hum 110 required first year course also focused on Aquinas and Augustine, for example. Academically, for me, ahead: MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School. :)

Happy piping, 
Scott

Hi Mary, and Mark, 

Good to connect on LinkedIn, Mary. I'm writing to introduce you to one another, Mark, Mary - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-murrin-84a353/ - has been working at Chevron for about 6 years in the Houston area, and was a neighbor of mine in Pittsburgh, and my high school years there from 1974 -1979. Mark is now living in Portland, Maine, having just relocated from Newfoundland, Canada, after decades there; Mark is doing remarkable genealogical work these days family-wise.

This is Mark's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-macleod-7a048916/ and Anne's is https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-shoemaker/ . I've been in touch with Mark recently. 

How are your sister Cathy doing, and your mother, Mary?

Regards, 
Scott

to Mark, Mary
Glad to see you two connecting.

Seeking too to facilitate a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGeology - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGeology?src=hashtag_click - in a single realistic virtual earth (for everything) - and conceptually like Google Street View / Maps / Earth with TensorFlow AI and group buildable too like SL, but realistic, and at the cellular and atomic levels too. This would be for actual-virtual, physical-digital developments in science, as well as robotics especially. (Here's a Livermore CA oil fields' example - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/double-flowered-world-univ-schs-live.html - coming into conversation with a Stanford Geology talk, where Mark got his Master's degree leading to his career, I think). This would be at MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, and as STEM field sites, and as classrooms too - but also entrepreneurially/commercially (like for oil extraction with atmospheric and ocean science planning).

All the best, 
Scott

Mark, this just popped up in Twitter:

A compact comparison between Julia, R and Python - Data science in 2020
#DataScience #rstats #JuliaLang #Python by Günter Röhrich via
@TDataScience

https://twitter.com/rzembo/status/1266771604371103746?s=20 - https://towardsdatascience.com/julia-r-and-python-7cd50c2b0fe4 - 

I think the Tweeter is the chief CTO of Vanguard Mutual Funds (of all things) and Tweeting much about AI and machine learning. 

And will these be the next programming languages for one realistic virtual earth (re geology and atmosphere simulations too)? There's both a windy road picture in the article (that's like the one on my Google Smart TV - so presumably in Google Street View too) ... And there's also a data table in the article for an iris flower - also germane to a realistic virtual earth for evolutionary biology - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForEvolution?src=hashtag_click - and keying flower species (angiosperms). Is the windy road in a Celtic language country? 

And could the windy road image have anything to do with John Hennessy, chair of Alphabet, and former president of Stanford for 16 years? 

All of this is very germane too for creating a realistic virtual Harbin Hot springs for actual-virtual, physical-digital ethnographic comparison (into one realistic virtual earth / universe! :) ... See blog post again - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/double-flowered-world-univ-schs-live.html - in these regards too. 

Mark, do you know Robert Zembowicz, or John Hennessy? 

The idea with all of us creating a realistic virtual earth together - ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy (I'm calling this) - would be even as a new kind of publishing (post -

https://twitter.com/yalepress/status/1266792774281703425?s=20 ).

All the best, 
Scott

Greetings to Cathe, Mary - and to your mom. My mother's enjoying her new cottage out in Verona / Oakmont - and I think they're in communication, although I didn't see your mom over Xmas, like I saw many of their friends. Do you miss your home on Linden, then your parents' home on Juniata Ct, all of a block and a half away:)? I sometimes wonder if we live longer than the upper age limit of 122 due to aging reversal genetics - https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk (and if we're in good health) - whether my mother could consider re-purchasing her home on Juniata Ct as a kind of creative project even, in addition to a home (since I could conceivably send my kids to Shady Side Academy as a high school perhaps, for ex., too) :)

Mary, what does Corporate Affairs entail? (World Univ & Sc is seeking to create major universities in all ~200 countries with online law schools even!)

Stay well!, 
Scott 

Here's Harvard / MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church (again):

Mary, Mark,

Am glad your career is developing well at Chevron, Mary! What did you like about Houston, Mark?

Am curious to pick your minds with time regarding the growth of the 501 (c) 3 non-profit (in the US and in CA) CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, - planned in all ~200 countries' official languages as major online universities, as we begin to grow; and especially as the WUaS Corporation, a for-profit general stock company parallel legal entity in California, goes corporate especially! The emergent Silicon Valley long term stock exchange, which has passed one SEC hurdle, is on the horizon in these regards too. Appreciating Google Inc. / Alphabet as companies as models for excellence in management and regarding IT companies especially, and WUaS hopes that Alphabet might even take WUaS under its wing regarding this long term stock exchange. 

Mary, Pittsburgher (and Swarthmorean) Lillian Thomas is now working at the Houston Chronicle, FYI, after decades of being a managing editor at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where her father, Clarke, was senior editor for decades too. I'd think your mom knows Jean Thomas well (as does my mother). I could potentially introduce you at some point if interested, if you don't already know each other. As I understand it, from visiting the Thomases over Xmas, Lillian's position in Houston is temporary and she may be heading back to the Post-Gazette at some point. Lillian has removed the ppg from her Twitter name - https://twitter.com/lbeththomas - however. 

A single realistic virtual earth for everything - in something like Google Street View with time slider +- is BIG virtual 'real estate'; stay tuned (and for genetics - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click - and /Genealogy too).  

Good luck with your sea-legs, seal-legs, Mary, on Monday!

Best to you both and stay safe,
Scott

CC-4 MIT OCW links in World Univ & Sch's 6 majors - with about 75 / 2400 courses * WUaS's 'English' and 'History' majors in Course Catalog * Collaborating with Yale, and MIT & Harvard, as well as Stanford?

Plan Z?

 Dear Larry, 

I clicked on all of our CC-4 MIT OCW links in WUaS's 6 majors - about 75 courses - and found about 14 edX < MITx courses, and have listed them -  

WUaS 'English' and 'History' majors in Course Catalog had, by far, a majority of CC-3 licensed Yale OpenYaleCourses (OYC) with no YaleX links whatsoever - https://oyc.yale.edu/courses - so WUaS doesn't have the ability to offer the first year of an 'English' major, a major I'd think might have many WUaS applicants. And the MIT Literature courses I checked out don't have any edX links as well. These 7 courses, however, could be good starting places - https://www.edx.org/search?tab=course&q=English%20literature - from BerkeleyX, HarvardX, TsinghuaX and WellesleyX. There are however 62 'Literature' courses in edX. And It seems like Yale is listing many online courses with Coursera, and not edX. (Could be worth exploring if we could add these Coursera links/URLs as well to WUaS's catalog with time? ) And there are 413 'History' courses on edX - https://www.edx.org/search?tab=course&q=History. 

Our WUaS prospective 1st English major, Shabhaz Sanjer, in India, just just now emailed, and asked about an English major beginning in the autumn, and perhaps the above would work as a starting point. 

One question/ further clarification for MIT Professor and VP in Office of Digital Learning Sanjay Sarma: "Could WUaS please add these other edX courses to our WUas course catalog, as MIT and Harvard prepare their online platforms for the autumn in this time of coronavirus pandemic" OR "WUaS is going to add other edX courses, besides MIT OCW into MITx on the edX platform ... " I wonder what edX's relationship with these other BerkeleyX, HarvardX, TsinghuaX and WellesleyX etc. universities is, re fees, and who can list, and how reimbursement to these Universities from edX works? 

So WUaS is a little short presently on courses beginning in the autumn for WUaS undergraduates in our 6 majors, but I wonder about listing other edX courses - and regarding seeking reimbursement, and regarding the edX money transfer mechanism. Am wondering too what MIT lawyers, or MIT legal processes the MIT Office of Digital Learning, and edX too, check out at MIT in all these regards too. There are probable enough courses to work with to cobble something together, all in all. Am not sure, however, how edX will communicate with the Departments of Education in all ~200 countries however. Our WUaS outreach is also a question. 

I've also listed all 260 MITx courses I found in edX just below WUaS majors - as one link in the WUaS Course Catalog. And I listed the "MicroMasters® Program in Finance" on one line in the Course Catalog too, with its 5 courses, just under the WUaS Business Major. 

Time to begin to see if we can add some more non-MITx courses to the WUaS Course Catalog, then figure out WUaS credit hours, - and perhaps even a rockin' first year required Reed Hum 110 course transposed into WUaS Hum 101, but on the edX platform, and created by Reed - and then figure out planning for WUaS cohorts too, if possible, with this Hum 101 course? 

Build this all out on a Google Sites' platform professionally, and with planning for many languages? What about registering our WUaS students with a Wikidata Q-item number or Wikidata PIN # - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University? 

Suggestions, questions, thoughts, ideas? 

Sincerely, Scott

* 
Plan A: 

 Dear Larry, 

But assuming WUaS won't be able to engage all these other institutions, re our CC-4 MIT OCW-centric focus, perhaps we can focus on plan A, namely, to hire graduate student instructors from great universities to teach to CC-4 MIT OCW courses in real time with live group interactivity. In a sense WUaS could give such graduate student instructors, learning to become faculty, free rein to 'RIFF' IN TEACHING with MIT OCW courses. And in these regards, I did find all of WUaS's majors, except 'General Science' (go figure, or go solve for X, or something) at MIT OCW: 

EECS: 

Science: 
Engineering:

English: 

History: 

Business: 

Perhaps we could provide a bit of structure for our WUaS graduate students as well, like finding students, and providing a few other benefits of teaching in an online platform in a startup great university. 

The lack of 'Science' MIT OCW page, upon searching, is a bit of a concern, but WUaS can probably work around this as well :)

And then perhaps we can combine Plan A with my previous email today as a kind of Plan Z :)

Thanks to the MIT Office of Digital Learning! 

Sincerely, Scott

Blogging about this today: 


* * 
Am curious if WUaS could eventually request MIT OCW courses to be translated into MITx / edX courses. Here's an Anthropology course taught by MIT Professors (Quaker I think) Heather Paxson, and Reedie (Reed College alumnus) Graham Jones, as an example - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/anthropology/21a-157-the-meaning-of-life-spring-2019/ . Can't seem to find Python's original meaning of life, but this will do:) ... Do you know this Monty Python version of 

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life | The Miracle of Birth

Seeking I think first to list only the MIT OCW > MITx - and then to look at the rest of the MITx courses, as well as the rest of the edX courses. Searching by starting date could have merit too. What do you think about all this cross-referencing of lists? Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions? 

Sincerely, 

Scott

I just noticed your beautiful new "The unpredictable future" painting, Victor -





And I turned on Raga, and in a way began flying (from here in my East Bay MUD forested home, Canyon 94516, and next to 'Indian Valley') ~

Nikhil Banerjee Raga Piloo Live in Stockholm 1975

~ flying into a Yogic understanding of meditative yes.

Something about Nikhil Bannerjee's playing in Stockholm, and Denmark, Amsterdam and Berkeley in the late 1960s and early ' 70s that makes his raga different from all the others (Ravi Shankar and others excluded). Is this culture (alternative culture even, something about even counterculture of the times informing note duration)?

Kinda like an aereoplane idea internet-wise without plague-like ring around the rosie posies ... Am realizing you're not heading in the computing direction, but if all is one, and a computer is an airplane, well ... And would other people 'travel' in their homes - to Dartington Hall - for this Yoga course even? It wouldn't surprise me ... but you'd probably need some new artistic pilots gliding with you through it all ... in fact, you, Angela and Victor, could probably be in your Eftalou Yoga Hall, and even bypass the Dartington Hall, although it might be interesting for the English Dartington Hall Yoginis and Yogis to take their course with you there (even with you in Greece, and they in their homes:)

And next an Angela and Victor Yoga course from the Harbin Conference Center in 2012, or from the Harbin Temple in 2008? :) All virtually (in Google Street View with TIME SLIDER) ... with you in front of your iPads, or laptops (and maybe with just a video camera or two in your Yoga Hall in Eftalou) ... I don't know of any artistic aereoplane virtual Yoga hall pilot internet videographers however, I'm sorry to say. (A 'Partner Yoga' course from a virtual Harbin warm pool eventually too? ... with everyone eliciting the relaxation response inner releasing action meditation-wise while in the bath at home? ... :)

HI Scott

Thank you for this email.  I am the organiser of the this Devon event and am in close contact with Victor and Angela and Dartington.
We are waiting to see what unfolds and all is looking pretty positive as opening up from lock down proceeds - so fingers crossed.

I have been teaching and using Zoom through for quite a while now and using this medium is a possibility for extending our audience for A&V and something I am bringing up with them this weekend.  I know they have been enjoying the break and time to themselves over this period. 

Thank you for your thoughts for the Devon side and we are on track at the moment. 

Deep Well Being to you all in this transition
Satya

Dear Scott,
Thank you for your input into teaching during covid -19 times, but like I said in my blog that we made our schedule for 2020, and if it was up to us, we would not cancel any of these courses. It is just that plains are cancelled and governmental restrictions are in place.
We do not teach on line classes, since I only use the line to dry our washing.....
We need reality and not the virtual one!
In order to be inspired we need people who inspire us with their personal physical energy, so we have a dialogue instead of delivering a message.
The only thing that happens is that our teaching has been filmed and put on YouTube by someone....
We hope you are well and not too shocked by the fact that we do not support a virtual reality!
Love victor.

Thanks, Satya & Victor, for your emails (& hi Angela!:),

Can't seem to find Python's original meaning of life, but this will do:)

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life | The Miracle of Birth
https://youtu.be/_YruT2ROEUc :)

Glad the coronavirus covid-19 pandemic quarantine may be ending in the British Isles by the time of your Devon Yoga workshop in the 3rd week of July, Angela & Victor. Am looking forward myself to traveling some re a kind of stay at home cabin fever, and visiting family & friends in Massachusetts. Am hoping I echoed in my email both your email and your mentioning before staying away from virtual Yoga teaching, Victor.

It's interesting to me, by way of comparison, that MIT & Harvard & Cambridge Univ & Stanford are all planning for online education for their students for the autumn, due to not knowing about the progression of the virus, and regarding a possible 2nd wave. Is necessity the mother of invention ? They're seeking to protect their students & communities, and perhaps plan for a very very serious global epidemic, I think, as well as advance the science of virology and related genetics dramatically (and see, in a related vein, re aging reversal genetically, Harvard / MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church:  - "How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering?"-

https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk ).

That all these greatest universities are going online for the autumn is super news for one of my big projects - CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University & School (while my actual-virtual, physical-digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project is still on hold) - and in planning for online major WUaS universities in all 200 countries' languages, and wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,117 known living languages - including Yoga wiki schools with much online creative Yoga potential.

So I wish you the best of luck, for Yoga teaching, that people will be traveling internationally by aeroplane by summer; I've heard it could be 12-18 months before a vaccine might be ready, and have gone through clinical trials (at earliest). Proof's in the pudding! Sailboats to get to Devon, England, on the south coast, and to Eftalou, Lesvos, Greece - for physical Yoga?

Am really hoping you don't get covid-19 symptoms, Victor and Angela, or get labeled with coronavirus - either in Britain or in Greece! It seems like people in their 70s, 80s and older are most at risk for this virus.

Stay safe, Be well,
Scott

PS
Here are 5 Hypothetical News' items, at bottom - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/himalyan-monal-how-are-harbin-hot.html?m=0 - in a Harbin Hot Springs' post, re possible alternative complementary explanations for the coronavirus pandemic, and with further related thinking also spread throughout blog in the 'genes' label in recent months.

The novel coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS CoV-2) pandemic has been primarily
1
a fire drill - i.e. 'in case of emergency' (eg genetic, war, nuclear) - and lead to

governments, internet media, and economies working together internally in all ~200 countries, and internationally too

https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1245426567716556800?s=20

(non harming or nonviolent)
... and as an "in case of emergency" situation, and because of the way this situation developed (and the value of treating this as a serious 'fire drill'), no one - the internet media on 10s of 1000s of web sites on a many-to-many information technology - or governments etc ... were in any positions to  question this for other kinds of benefits to publics. So critical thinking about this by individuals has much merit ...


2
for keeping kids safe, (and seeking to significantly lessen the illegal global sex trade in all ~200 countries)
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/03/30/nation/how-keep-kids-connected-with-friends-even-when-theyre-housebound/
& seeking too to limit F&M sex offs /perps potentially with the law eg paralleling medicinal & recreational cannabis law distinction & w 1 rapid response 2 continuous testing & 3 tracking

for nation states' to develop their borders in new ways - & newly with law, & legal language - thus thwarting expansionist tendencies of countries getting rich in beginning of 21st century - as well as potential military aggression

memetic (#coronavirus 'meme' - as replicating cultural unit), & not genetic although SARS CoV2 may have precipitated this in Wuhan, China & as such is an experiment in #RadicalAction in the #InformationTechnologyAge, & re the #internet ~

PPS
Am curious if WUaS could eventually request MIT OCW courses to be translated into MITx / edX courses. Here's an Anthropology course taught by Heather Paxson, and Reedie Graham Jones, as an example - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/anthropology/21a-157-the-meaning-of-life-spring-2019/ . Do you know this Monty Python version of

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life | The Miracle of Birth

https://youtu.be/_YruT2ROEUc :)
Yes, yes, - this is the real meaning of life :)

PPPS
Here's Harvard / MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church (again):
"How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering?"
- which you'll also find a couple of times in these longevity label blog posts - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity ...

Angela's coming to bErkeley

Scott MacLeod yogamacflower@gmail.com

8:42 AM (1 hour ago)
to Barbara, Patti, Marc, Scott, Linda, Lynn, Angela, victor, Patricia, Andrew, Satya
Angela's NOT coming to Berzerkeley either physically (or virtually!) for the foreseeable future! Would I be a 'guinea pig' in a live interactive online Yoga course with students of Angela & Victor, - and with outrageously cool experimental visually fascinating 1960's informed mandala India art augmented reality (way beyond virtual reality), - in a virtual Harbin Hot Springs (not Dartington Hall, o my!) I ask myself? Am not sure ... and it depends on which A&V students ... but am not following up on taking online live interactive Yoga courses with anyone (although I have been appreciative of Rodney Yee's AM PM Yoga video - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0500066/ - in the past, which is neither live, nor interactive!). Patricia and Andrew, as students of Angela & Victor, I don't imagine you'd consider teaching online either - http://yellowspringsyoga.com - would you?

Satya, and Linda, please be here introduced - since you've both been teaching Yoga/CST in Zoom video conferencing or similar (from Ashburton, Devon, England, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - http://www.lindameacciyoga.com - and Linda is sharing her online teaching on her home page:)
Satya's Druidstone email from this morning is below! (And again, Victor says: "We do not teach on line classes, since I only use the line to dry our washing..... " :)

And you'll find Angela's "Feminine Unfolding" as well as Angela & Victor's "Underground Yoga" here in: 'Hippy-anjali Yoga Notations' ~ http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html ~ (both of which I learn from online, even if you are not teaching on line here, Victor!:)

Stay well, be well!

Warm regards, Scott
