Thanks for your LI message - re WUaS?


Dear Scott,

I waited for about 10 minutes to be let into the meeting today, only got the continuing circle indicating "Asking to join" - ah technology, right? I would have liked to join on Saturday but was otherwise occupied, thank you for the invitation.

I will be in the woods (Virginia) all next week, might you invite me to the next meeting after that on Monday, March 8th?

Really looking forward to speaking with you, absolutely love the work you are doing.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

~ Nancy

Dear Nancy, 

Thanks for letting me know. I looked a number of times during today's WUaS News and Q&A and didn't see anyone else seeking to join the conversation today (unusually too, since I was expecting you, and others have joined this conversation many times in the past). Am not sure why I didn't see you, or what's up with the technologies therefore. 

Monday, March 8th sounds good to me to meet in the WUaS News and Q&A at 10 am Pacific, 1pm Eastern. 

Here's the video link for today, 2/22/21 for your reference - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BO2nci8Jm7qEVezu7QTzsbguKPcvB9O4/view

Thanks very much Scott, I very much look forward to the 8th!

No worries - I still have plenty of your previous videos to review and re-review. 

Until then, be well.

to me
Dear Scott,

Thank you for adding my email address to your mailing list and the twitter link too. I just finished viewing the 2/8/20 News Meeting of WUaS with Friz Lebowsky in its entirety. A remarkable conversation on too many points for me to be able to keep this brief, but please know it spoke to me in a very profound way. 

In addition to my Linkedin profile I would like to give you an understanding about the depth of my desire to facilitate human understanding and expansion. My documentary experience has been around agriculture and farming. Currently I'm working with a producer on a project that will likely take another year or more to complete. Part of this project speaks to the experiences of soldiers in and out of wartime. Having grown up in the 1970's, I have long been interested in telling stories about the emotional, human aspects of war. About 15 years ago, I read a book that illustrated the human destruction war really represents; Michael Norman's These Good Men. I had to let the option lapse because I was unable to find the right partners to work on the screenplay I had wanted to write based on the work. 

As my documentary work continued, it led me to know many USDA "in the field" scientists. It frustrated me to watch them put 10, 20 or more years of work into the new technologies they developed to advance agriculture for it to end up languishing on the shelf because nobody knew about the work. The problem had everything to do with the centralized nature/structure of the USDA, etc; it was essentially a closed loop. Finding ways to un-close loops seems to be a theme in my life. What these scientists needed was to be connected directly to those funders who recognized the value of their work. By 2010 when I was invited to represent the Food, Science and Technology group (then a nascent online platform) at The Global Leaders I saw an opportunity to help change this. I wrote, developed, and was vetted to submit my proposal to the first Obama Administration. The proposal was structured to let The Global Leaders Platform serve as an online dating site of sorts between the USDA and ARS Office of Technology Transfer and qualified funders at The Global Leaders. After approval I worked with the USDA ARS Office of Technology Transfer for 13 months and was barely able to get beyond conference calls. The desire on part of the USDA/ARS was there, funders were excited, but the nature of the circuitous, centralized governmental system prevented its success. This was the impetus for me to start Earth Twine which we can discuss at some future point. One thing it might be useful to know about Earth Twine is that our goal was to utilize blockchain and its technologies to open and improve the way food supply chains communicated with one another and its customers. 

Between now and March 8th I will continue to review the materials you have shared and will look forward to speaking together then.

Hi Nancy, (Larry, and Peter, All)

Thanks for your email, Nancy. CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School isn't really focused on blockchain for food technology ... so I'm not sure we're in alignment here. When we talk on the phone - would this be better? - we could explore why further. (The WUaS planned law schools in each of ~200 countries' online may particularly have a human rights' focus, for example, in addition to an information technologies' innovations' focus, such as with developing robotics). Thank you.

Best, 
Scott

Hello all,

Thank you, I must have been unclear.  

The reason I shared what I did was not to say I'm continuing in food supply technology because I have not. In fact I closed Earth Twine in 2018. 

I shared some of my experiences with the thought they may be helpful in supporting/furthering your goals.

I look forward to learning more about your collective work.

Kind regards,

~ Nancy

Hi Nancy,

Are there any specific questions I can answer for you in writing, and now - if you're interested in learning further about WUaS? 

Kind regards, Scott

to me, Larry, Peter
Hi Scott,

For now no, thank you - I will continue to go through what you've sent me if that works for you.

Kind regards,

Thank you, Nancy, 

What might be your longer term vision regarding our communications, if I might ask please? Our CC-4 MIT OCW-centricity, and developing a track record, on the way to becoming the online Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Oxbridge in all 200 countries and in their official and main languages, as well as an online Quaker Haverford / Swarthmore is part of ours, as well as related high aiming ethical developments, including law-wise (and potentially emerging out of Stanford Law, since MIT has neither a law school nor a medical school and thus no OpenCourseWare) and as WUaS seeks to offer free-to-students' online degrees in all 200 countries' official / main languages - Bachelor, PhD - Law, MD, - and IB. 

Kind regards, Scott

Hi Scott, all,

Thanks for the additional information.

Should they occur, aside from open exchange of ideas, I have no expectations or longer term vision regarding our communications. 

Certainly not looking to waste anyone's time. 

Kind regards,

~ Nancy

Thanks, Nancy,

With your interest in blockchain ledger technologies, do you follow MIT director of its Digital Currency Initiative Neha Narula by any chance? 

Here's a Tweet re how they might look at how illegal trade might possibly be named and then regulated with blockchain too - 
https://twitter.com/neha/status/1346273664006823936?s=19 - and regarding co-author Patrick Murck of the Harvard Law School's Berkman Klein Center for you interest.

Cheers, 
Scott

Thanks for sharing the twitter link from Digital Currency Initiative Neha Narula - I don't follow but will.

I have followed the blockchain space since I first learned about it a dozen or so years ago. As I mentioned, Earth Twine was meant to utilize the technology to apply it to food supply systems. This said, the last public statement I made about blockchain was in Ecuador two years ago. I had been invited to speak to the Global Aquaculture Alliance about the subject of whether or not the seafood supply chain was ready for blockchain. I stand by my emphatic "no" to this question, but that does not mean I do not support the technology. I continue to engage in conversations with those in blockchain because despite all its problems, I believe this technology can and will be good for mankind. Viewing your 2/8/21 meetup, when you put forth the idea that an; "interesting way to possibly get a cryptocurrency into China that could even be used as a kind of reward not to break human rights", I was, lack of a better word gobsmacked by how profoundly powerful  this was to me.

Such an ever changing environment blockchain. I'm in a constant state of "keep up" because in the end, I'm not a coder. I am that type that has just enough technical knowledge to keep me dangerous, hence the continuing education. I re-engaged with the blockchain space last March when LA Blockchain invited me to their first Tuesday night "Blockchain + Booze" events. I'm a fairly regular visitor because it feeds my need to know who's doing what in blockchain and have had some fantastic conversations there too. It should be an interesting Blockchain & Booze event tomorrow night, Miami Mayor Suarez will speak about why Miami is becoming a major crypto city. 

Here's a link if you care join; https://blockchainbooze.substack.com/p/48-miami-bitcoin-a-special-guest?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=copy

Have a good evening,

Thanks much, Nancy, (Larry, and Peter, All),

These 3 short videos posted by Vala Afshar about blockchain are starting places for WUaS - 

And here's a video I made about WUaS and Blockchain ... 

World University and School - Planning for Blockchain

Pinophyta: World University and School - Planning for Blockchain, as we begin accreditation, WUaS Live Hangout on Air on Monday, 12/17/18 ... welcomes you to join in ..., What is blockchain ledger?, Since CryptoCurrencies and the Blockchain ledger work together - here's Satoshi Nakamoto's seminal 2008 paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" - https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf, * * * Planning for matriculating students and learners and teachers (Universitians and volunteers) in all 7,097 living languages here at You_at_World_University * * * And re WUaS Robotics, see too MIT Symposium on Blockchain for Robotic Systems' on 12/5/18 New related hash tag: #BlockchainForRoboticsSystems, See, too, https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics, Anticipating accreditation first with the state of California's BPPE, Am very glad to announce that my new book "Winding Road Rainbow" is now available as of today - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578435187 - and here - https://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity -



World University and School Live Hangout on Air on Monday, 12/17/18 ... welcomes you to join in ...

I liked a video World University and School - Planning for Blockchain




And more about WUaS and blockchain here - 

Ram cichlid: Electric church music ... Blockchain ledger and one specific book title "Naked Harbin Ethnography" - explored further, How blockchain ledger works, A) Vermont house ex. video, B) 1,2,3 things blockchain ledger does, C) When block chains start to work for a particular automobile's resales, and then with replacement parts inside over time, it begins to get complex, D) Blockchain with robotics' systems ex. video re MIT conference, E) And I'd bet that TRUST through coding can be maintained even with - "MIT Technology Review - Once hailed as unhackable, blockchains are now getting hacked" - Thinking through both blockchain, as well as some implications for the WUaS bookstore and WUaS hospitals * * * Also re a realistic virtual earth and WUaS online hospitals, to digitize both of Stanford's hospitals, some of Kaiser's Hospitals, Brown University's Butler psychiatric hospital, - for Electronic Health Records with real time video into the future for tele-robotic brain surgery at the atomic level before and after, with a single cryptocurrency in all ~200 countries' with blockchain ledger for hospital technologies, Medical School's publications etc. * * * Blockchain ledger is potentially revolutionary (and possibly as revolutionary as the Internet itself I've heard) * * * Thanks, Peter Norvig for getting back to me ... Have you ever visited Harbin Hot Springs ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ ?


Seeking to explicitly not get involved with the illegal sex trade or the illegal drug trade, for example - and in planning for all 7.8 billion people at WUaS, as wiki teachers and learners in all 7,117 known living languages, and in online major universities in all ~200 countries and their legal systems, in which WUaS law faculty may be further teaching emergent law re blockchain for example.  

No thank you to the online event tomorrow evening, but if it works out to chat in the 3/8/21 WUaS News and Q&A, - yes to further communication here. Please let me know if I can answer any questions about WUaS as well beforehand. Thank you.

Kind regards, 
Scott
