Here's the profound Taoist story by Chuang Tzu/Zhuanzi I remember most, called the Dexterous Butcher, who finds the space between: http://www.bopsecrets.org/gateway/passages/chuang-tzu.htm

Re the 'Mine Pi' LIGHTNING BUTTON, see too:

Aquatic plant: Mine Pi - from FAQs ... "What is Pi? Pi is a new cryptocurrency for and by everyday people that you can “mine” (or earn) from your phone" ... This is how it works, and even re above hypothetical Stockton, California, UBI recipients receiving their basic income experiment in the form of a cryptocurrency like Mine Pi ... "hit the lightning button" ... * * * Per what we discussed (single cryptocurrency backed by some number of countries' central banks distributed via UBI experiments planning conceptually for all 7.5 billion people on planet, each a Wikidata Q-item number), a student in the first matriculating class at MIT OCW-centric World University and School just emailed me the following invitation to Mine Pi, a new cryptocurrency one can mine . . . How would questions of law in Oregon, and Washington (where your licensed to practice law), for example, eventually play out? And in Poland and Russia too? And in the US? * * * WIKIDATA - Dear Denny Vrandecic, Hearty congratulations on your new role at Google. Am excited too that Wikimedia and Google are growing collaborations via this great development. And thanks so much for founding Wikidata! . . . brainstorming-wise, a Wikidata Q-item for each of all 7.5 billion people on planet earth, in 3 ways: 1) Facilitating a single cryptocurrency with blockchain, distributed potentially via Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (partly to alleviate poverty) 2) 'Avatar bot electronic medical records' for all 7.5 billion people. 3) Free-to-students' highest quality universal education with online major MIT OCW_centric universities in ~200 countries' main languages, and wiki schools for open teaching in each of all 7,111 known living languages

Hi Chunyu, and Koh/Ants, and Jodi,

Nice to talk with you yesterday evening at Ants' birthday party.

Could you please share these articles with Masha, Chunyu? We were talking about these disastrous nuclear accidents - LEVEL 5-Three Mile Island (1979), LEVEL 7-Chernobyl (1986), LEVEL 7-Fukushima (2011) - yesterday evening, and I mis-named Fukushima. After this fairly recent triple core nuclear meltdown in 2011, I talked on the phone with a friend Eckhard Krueger, a physicist and Quaker in the Munich Germany area, with whose family I lived for 2.5 months in 1982, after studying at the University of Munich in 1981-1982 for 10.5 months), and who, with a group of concerned scientists in Germany, after the Chernobyl disastrous nuclear accident occurred in 1986 (Level 7), together bought a very expensive piece of equipment to measure the nuclear fallout from Chernobyl, Russia, in Bavaria, Germany, and published a scientific paper about this hazardous material, and as a consequence was blacklisted from his job at the Max Planck Institute in Garching, Germany, and had to begin his own energy consulting firm. This scientific action to measure and publish was based on conscientious objection in many ways.

Here are some links about this:

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Nuclear_Event_Scale

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_phase-out

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-nuclear_movement#See_also

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_the_Chernobyl_and_Fukushima_nuclear_accidents

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster#Aftermath

> https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/eight-years-after-fukushimas-meltdown-the-land-is-recovering-but-public-trust-has-not/2019/02/19/0bb29756-255d-11e9-b5b4-1d18dfb7b084_story.html

And with regard to the first of these accidents, TMI in 1979 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident_health_effects

- my father, Gordon K MacLeod MD, who was the Secretary of Health for the state of Pennsylvania at the time and installed only 12 days before the accident occurred in March of 1979 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_K._MacLeod - significantly and publicly criticized the Thornburgh administration (Governor of Pennsylvania at the time) for lack of iodine and physicians on the PA nuclear engineering planning committee (similar to way the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission had physicians): "He criticized Pennsylvania's preparedness, in the event of a nuclear accident, at the time for not having potassium iodide in stock, which protects the thyroid gland in the event of radiation exposure, as well as for not having any physicians on Pennsylvania's equivalent of the nuclear regulatory commission."

And he resigned soon after the accident and returned to his professor-ship position at the University of Pittsburgh, where he was a professor of Public Health.

Best, Scott

I may blog about this today, and with the 'conscientious objection' label -

Am curious how PHASING OUT nuclear power may emerge in a realistic virtual earth at the cellular and atomic levels too - thinking Google Street View with TIME SLIDER ...
