Juliana, Sandy, Kirsten, Ralph, All, 

Thanks so much for this great conversation!

I asked the following (and also Tweeted): 

How could Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century find form via UBI experiments & with Stanford Mine Pi currency in the US? ...

#EISreparations


Having asked when registering for this great panel (thank you - and also for your timely book!). Having asked when registering for this great panel (thank you!) - "How could Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century find form via UBI experiments & with Stanford Mine Pi currency in the US?" ...

I was amazed to learn further that
"The trans-Atlantic slave trade was the largest movement of people in history. Between 10 and 15 million Africans were forcibly transported across the Atlantic"

https://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook.cfm?smtid=2&psid=446


"Jon Stewart: Slave trade caused 5 million deaths"

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2014/mar/18/jon-stewart/jon-stewart-slave-trade-caused-5-million-deaths/


"The transatlantic slave trade persisted for four centuries. Slavery and the slave trade are among the worst violations of human rights in the history ..."

…. (Part 1)




And for native Americans too re

I am honored to announce that yesterday 02/24/21 I officially took my oath of office and have been sworn in as Chief for the Trelwaney Town Maroons of the Sovereign State of Accompong. The ceremony was witnessed by members and elders of the community. #sounddiabeng

So, further, and regarding Stanford Basic Income: but even with Universal Basic Income experiments, for example, - how best to prevent further victimization of Black men, women and children re the illegal sex trade, for example?

Thank you, Scott GK MacLeod

Hi Jessica and Rebecca, 

Here's my message to you Jessica from linkedin, just before house internet went off for about 30 minutes:

"Thanks, Jessica, 

- will email  you about World Univ & Sch's wiki schools for open teaching and learning re for example - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Investing_-_Socially_Responsible and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Index_Investing - and planned in each of all ~200 countries (per Olympics and Freedom House's listing too) and in their official and main languages. But these wiki pages as 'front ends' aren't yet interoperable with the WUaS wiki 'backend' in Wikidata, which is in Wikipedia's 300 languages as structured knowledge database for querying with SQL in far-reaching ways (due to Wikidata's ontology). WUaS is also planning as 'front end' and 'back end' become interoperable to code for not only prospective matriculating students for transcripts etc. and for wiki editors in ~200 countries and in their languages, but also for speakers in all 7,117 known living languages, as wiki teachers and learners even regarding the free universal education idea. As WUaS codes for these wiki Universitians (speakers of 7k languages), WUaS seeks, brainstorming-wise, to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item number or Wikidata PIN # or similar, and even to facilitate UBI experiments - to alleviate poverty worldwide - and to distribute a single worldwide cryptocurrency (think the mineable 'Stanford Mine Pi' digital currency), backed by most of 200 countries' central banks. Will email you and Rebecca MacKinnon about this as well. Thanks, Jessica! 

Best regards, -Scott 


Am just about to listen to listen to Stanford Ethics' "Resurrecting the Promise of Forty Acres"  in 5 minutes (with registration if you're interested) https://basicincome.stanford.edu/events/resurrecting-the-promise-of-forty-acres/ - and in which I asked: 

"How could Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century find form via UBI experiments & with Stanford Mine Pi currency in the US? ... "

What else might you like to know about the wiki and even regarding investing, Jessica, per your linkedin message? Thank you.

Best, 
Scott

Happy birthday, Ed! - Corte Madera

Hi Ed, 

Happy birthday to you! Here are some pictures from 4 or 5 years ago in Corte Madera in Marin on a birthday walk with you and Brianna (and the Haight Ashbury Church, All Souls, where I was teaching Yoga in the mid 1990s and through which Yoga teaching I kinda met you :)

Fondly, Scott

Haight Ashbury and Yoga teaching in 1990s ...


Ed, 

The church in the Haight Ashbury was All Saints (not All Souls) - https://www.google.com/maps/place/All+Saints'+Episcopal+Church,+San+Francisco/@37.7692815,-122.4459973,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x494e34724d4078fc?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiV8p3X3YXvAhXOHM0KHVk2D4UQ_BIwF3oECDoQBQ - and what role did it play in the 1960s and 1970s in the Haight I wonder too? :)

Scott

The hall in the back of this church was lovely and for teaching yoga (albeit with no props) ... I think there are two pictures of it here - https://allsaintssf.org/we-are-accepting-applications-for-our-new-priest-in-charge/ - but which doesn't show it in its full beauty as a Yoga space for learning Yoga (was still only on my bicycle at that time, and living on Market Street just above the Romain Street foot bridge - https://www.google.com/maps/place/3632+Market+St,+San+Francisco,+CA+94131/@37.7555075,-122.4414184,3a,75y,296.68h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sMEugjYRYlHwcS-pnxIbggw!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DMEugjYRYlHwcS-pnxIbggw%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dsearch.gws-prod.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D86%26h%3D86%26yaw%3D296.6813%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7e08a91cc051:0x93adfbf81433a1fc!8m2!3d37.75557!4d-122.4415793 ) ...  

And when I searched a bit further on the church, this came up "Hippieland – Covenant - The Living Churchlivingchurch.org › covenant › 2017/10/26 › hippieland" ... but that's a long time ago ... how to revisit this in a realistic virtual earth for history ... https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory?src=hashtag_click ... 
in developing iterations of more and more realisms in digital masks to hologram projections in our rooms at home?

Just came across this Tweet, however, from Dec 2018 ... :)
