Ed, John, Robert, Roland, Hank & Larry,

I just found this brief WSJ John Hennessy 'interview' great - https://twitter.com/WSJ/status/1181962525136625664?s=20 .... A question I might include: 'What's the most important ethical question a company should address as a starting point'?

Best regards, Scott

Dear Ed, John (chairman of Alphabet), Robert (chairman of Stanford Medicine), Roland and Hank (Stanford Law Professors), and Larry (chairman of the Board at MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch),

Looking forward to your panel moderation, Ed -
'Is the Right Thing Really Shades of Grey?  Building an Ethical Culture in Business: Why it’s Hard to Do the Right Thing on a Corporate Level' this Thursday - http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=b9cssleab&oeidk=a07egp3z2du0898928b - having been impressed with a number of your previous Stanford Law SVDX presentations and panel moderations (on 2/18/16, 3/16/17 & 3/15/18).

Great to meet you too, John, at the opening autumn 2018 Stanford Law SVDX meeting (and at 2 of your "Leading Matters" ' book conversations, as well).

With regards to both wings of WUaS:
A) 501 c 3 non-profit World Univ & School and the
B) for profit general stock company the WUaS Corporation

- both planned in ~200 countries' official / main languages, and as wiki-schools in all 7,111 known living languages - how best to grow these ethically re all the cultural and linguistic diversity, newly online, inherent in WUaS's goals, and with these 14 planned revenue streams - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - on both wings?

Re pre-networking, and questions of building ethical cultures on both of WUaS's wings - with planned online Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - and Law Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - in ~200 countries' official / main languages, and wiki-schools in all 7,111 known living languages - am curious how the development particularly of WUaS's information technology platforms can shape or inform WUaS's ethical corporate business cultures (eg re single cryptocurrency in some of all ~200 countries, and distributed via UBI experiments - brainstorming-wise to all 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar).  And in what ways could Alphabet and Google's experience be harbingers for developing ethical online business cultures - and for WUaS to learn from? And in what ways could WUaS begin to explore collaborating with Google and Alphabet IT-wise as WUaS seeks to grow our work force to 2.2 million people (about the size of Walmart with time)?

Big announcement & development re FREE & MIT & beginning NOW in Jan 2020 here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/rhubarb-free-to-students-bachelor.html (at MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World Univ & Sch) - a first free online 4 year MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree, in English literature, as WUaS begins licensing with CA's BPPE, and in collaboration with edX, where Anant Agarwal is edX's CEO and your previous Ph.D. student, Professor Hennessy. See 1st minute from WUaS's last open monthly business meeting - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/01/minutes-for-dec-21-2019-wuas-monthly.html (from 12/21/19).

Re building ethical business culture too, WUaS is Quaker-informed (non-theistic Friends' - NtF - or atheistically Quaker informed to be more accurate) with regards to shades of grey questions (and there's a book by Quaker John Punshon called "Portrait in Grey: A Short HIstory of the Quakers" in these 'grey' regards, and with regards to a kind of philosophy or identity informing business culture too).

Ed, am curious in particular how all of you will address the question of corporate (e.g. Stanford, Alphabet, Ikea, Silicon Valley, California as examples of culture too) culture or identity in the shaping of building an ethical culture. (I'm an anthropologist where actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs is my ethnographic field site re questions of culture, or alternative culture, too).

Looking forward to SVDX on Thursday morning, and thank you!

Sincerely, Scott

Angela, Victor (in Greece), Lynn, Satya, Andrew and Patricia!

Happy New Year (letter) :) ~ https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html ~ 

I blogged about your 'Who are we : Angela?' poem recently, Angela - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/black-pepper-real-identity-crisis-am.html - and your edifying Underground Yoga DVD trailer here too, Victor ... and a recent Marco Polo Journal gift herein too!

Gruess Gott as the say in Bavaria (to greet people), and 'Um Gottes Willen' - God willing - as they say too as an exclamation - https://angela-victor.com/content/schedule !

Warm regards, 

Scotty

Also, this is very mind-expanding re a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHumanities & a #RealisticVirtualEarth #RealisticVirtualHarbin and especially with #AvatarBots (and eventually with regard to #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital and even with actual-virtual Lego home robotics' creating developments):

Warm greetings from Canyon California 94516 ... with an invitation to visit the next time you're in the SF Bay Area teaching Yoga or heading to Harbin Hot Springs (haven't been yet to actual Harbin since it re-opened in January 2019)!

But I have been to this virtual Harbin Gate house a few times 

~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~)

... and my 4th Harbin-inspired book just arrived in the Canyon US Post Office today ... 

Am glad to swrite that my 4th book, "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs, than to realize it in virtual Reality" is published and available - https://www.amazon.com/Dance-Pools-Virtually-different-Springs/dp/0578625490 - but not yet in VR ... 

Harbin cheers, 

Scott
