Me to Everyone (7:03 AM)
Great and thanks. Do you know if there are avatars? I haven’t seen any yet. Thank you!
Hi Martin - sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org what’s yours? Thanks, Scott
It seems like, conceptually, a single realistic virtual earth, Google Street View with time slider, that we could all add to too, would add to your project remarkably! Have wondered how even a realistic virtual earth in Google Street View with text in the side bar could also become the source for publishing a text book, like from textbook in the side bar … and here’s a #Hashtag for this -

would love to talk at some point. Could you send me your email?
Dear Martin,
Thanks, and talking would be great. … What are some good times that we might video chat? (Might you explore teaching on Harvard’s virtual island, Berkman Island in Second Life, for example, or do you have other plans for this? I’ve taught on Harvard’s virtual island in SL for 8 or 9 semesters some years ago).
All the best, Scott

to me
Dear Scott,
All very interesting. For the online course, I was thinking of VPAL/HarvardX.
I have quite a few openings on Monday and Tuesday—then I’ll be gone for two weeks, making early December the next option. On Monday, after 3pm would be best, though I could also do before 11. On Tuesday, before noon or between 3-5. Early December is wide open.
Looking forward,
Martin

Dear Martin,
Thanks for your reply. I'm not familiar with VPAL - https://vpal.harvard.edu.
I could video chat on Monday 11/15/21 at 12:00pm PT (3pm ET), or possibly at 7:30 am PT (10:30am ET). Shall I share a Google Meet URL with you?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Scott
(Brainstorming-wise, am curious how one could begin to teach in a combination of Google Street View with time slider, with its little Pegman become larger, aka moving toward becoming an artificial human, as an avatar, ... with this project - http://giza.fas.harvard.edu/ - mentioned in the MIT Global Humanities' conference, and regarding the 3D virtual world group buildable of Second Life idea with voice, however not cartoon-esque, and in beginning to build out a realistic virtual earth for architecture and archaeology too, in a single realistic virtual earth for everything - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20earth).
*
Great, Martin ... I like this Google Meet URL - meet.google.com/pmr-uwir-zen (and while it will be interesting when we can head from this URL into Street View with time slider itself, and for research such as with your caves' focus, easily, or for example, here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ where Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs is my Ethnographic field site, it's still not possible to do this that I know of). Do you think that VPAL might be interested in engaging the Google ecosystem for some of these research questions? CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School seeks to facilitate both STEAM and Humanities' field sites in all ~200 countries, as well as classrooms, with avatar bots, and in something like group buildable Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlowAI, Translate, with realistic Avatar Bots, and even at the cellular and molecular levels, eg for tele-robotic surgery, in the WUaS online teaching hospitals, in the future)?
Thanks, See you Monday at 3pm ET.,

Dear Martin,
Nice to video chat with you. Following up on your MIT Comparative Global Humanities' conference presentation, and its touching on biological evolution, and cultural evolution, I'm interested in the idea (again) of the 'meme' (replicating cultural unit is one def), and which cultural evolution (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/evolution-cultural/) never seems to be too far from.
Here are 2 related good critiques of the meme idea per Richard Dawkins' expansion of the idea in "The Selfish Gene" (1976) relating to genes -
'I've done this before, but am still curious: would anyone care to explain to me in what sense genes can be considered (metaphorically) selfish?'
https://twitter.com/philipcball/status/1450120739496079366
'10. Most of the difficulty we have in talking about genes is around the problem of where to locate biological agency. The Selfish Gene dumps it all into the gene. Therein lies the problem. None of this discussion engages with what genes really do and don't do.'
https://twitter.com/philipcball/status/1450220049076215813
Also, I wanted to clarify that in World University and School beginning the "Academic Press at WUaS," and regarding the ISBNs, it was this Press in a sense getting them from Bowker's ISBN service (and not any other way) that makes the Academic Press's further development unhindered (eg in GDocs with Translate), and in ~200 countries (as part of CC-4 MIT OCW-CENTRIC wiki WUaS Universities), and for (machine learning too) translation of books into and from all 7,139 living languages. Further clarification in the WUaS Agenda and News for tomorrow's open Monthly Business Meeting here in WUaS Corporation Agenda item A -

Mana Kia to Everyone (6:23 AM)
Also for Martin: How to account for the exclusions inherent in “institutions” of storage? How to account for alternative networks of transmission (such as those of women)? Is our account of culture doomed to be elitist in various ways?
Diana Henderson to Everyone (6:25 AM)
I see the seeds too of another conference, pragmatically and pedagogically oriented to the question of how actual curricula, structures shape (or are not commensurate w/) scholarly agendas: thinking about SUTD’s version of great books, its differences & links w/ the Chinese example so vividly sketched, different from Columbia/Chicago model, etc —Thanks so much!
Martin Puchner to Everyone (6:28 AM)
Mana, an excellent point. Institution is actually one one mode of transmission. I look at oral transmission for example. As for the gender dimension: women are crucial in the transmission of culture. It’s one reason, for example, why I’m interested in salons (my example is a chapter focused on Madame Geoffrin).
Me to Everyone (6:29 AM)
Martin, All, brainstorming-wise, how would, in a realistic virtual earth for humanities, we be able to examine your thinking about both cultural evolution and genetic evolution as well, further. Am thinking Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow … and even with a film to 3D App. Take and Add video of the cave you focus on and begin to engage a humanities’ focused inquiry - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory?src=hashtag_click -

I’ll be seeing Grant in meetings this afternoon — I’ll let him know about the conference!
Martin Puchner to Everyone (6:31 AM)
Scott, fascinating. I’m working on an online class. Very interested in virtual reality.
David Damrosch to Everyone (6:32 AM)
In regard to Scott’s digital recommendation, Peter Der Manuelian’s ambitious virtual study-tour of the Egyptian pyramids (at Harvard) would very logically be included here.
Martin Puchner to Everyone (6:32 AM)
Scott, really great. Let’s talk?
Me to Everyone (6:32 AM)
Great< Martin, - sgkmacled@worlduniversityandschool.org … thanks for your fascinating presentation.
Thanks, David … will check it out. Can you suggest an URL? (Is this it - https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/05/harvards-digital-giza-project-allows-scholars-to-explore-egypt-without-leaving-the-country/)?

Me to Everyone (7:03 AM)
Great and thanks. Do you know if there are avatars? I haven’t seen any yet. Thank you!
Me to Martin Puchner (Direct Message) (7:04 AM)
Hi Martin - sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org what’s yours? Thanks, Scott

Have wondered how even a realistic virtual earth in Google Street View with text in the side bar could also become the source for publishing a text book, like from textbook in the side bar … and here’s a #Hashtag for this - https://twitter.com/hashtag/TextBOOKinTheSidebar?src=hashtag_click.
David Damrosch to Everyone (7:11 AM)
Olga’s presentation brings to mind a fascinating memoir by a teenaged Polynesian, which is perhaps the first book written (or at any rate, translated and published in the USA) by a Polynesian woman: Florence Frisbie’s “Miss Ulysses from Puka-Puka: The autobiography of a South Sea Trader’s Daughter.” For our purposes, note in particular the Homeric framing, based on her sense of herself as a latter-day South Seas Odysseus. She was only 15 when she wrote this, in a mixture of English, Rarotongan, and Pukapukan; it was then translated and edited by her father, and published in 1946. Still going strong at age 85, Frisbie published a new edition in 2016, with a preface emphasizing her hope, first, that her book will inspire other Polynesian writers, and second, will enhance global awareness of the problem of rising sea levels.
Martin Puchner to Me (Direct Message) (7:17 AM)
Great: puchner@fas.harvard.edu. Fascinating ideas. Since I’m probably doing an online course to go along with the project, your ideas are very intriguing. Let’s talk on the phone/zoom?
Olga Blomgren to Everyone (7:19 AM)
Thank you for this wonderful referral to Florence Frisbie!
Me to Martin Puchner (Direct Message) (7:21 AM)
Thanks, and talking would be great, Martin … what are some good times that we might video chat? (Might you explore teaching on Harvard’s virtual island, Berkman Island in Second Life, for example, or do you have other plans for this? I’ve taught on Harvard’s virtual island in SL for 8 or 9 semesters some years ago).
Stephanie Frampton to Everyone (7:21 AM)
I’m afraid I have to go: thank you to these three panelists for wonderful papers! I will see you all tomorrow.
Mana Kia to Everyone (7:41 AM)
Thank you all for your questions and comments. I have to go to teach a class that I could not cancel and will have to miss the third panel. But I will see you tomorrow morning.
Alexander Forte to Everyone (7:42 AM)
Thanks for your great talk, Mana
Wayne deFremery to Everyone (7:45 AM)
Thanks to all the speakers for their fantastic papers! I'm very sorry to miss the last panel but it's closing in on 1am here north of Seoul. I very much look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
Martin Puchner to Everyone (8:31 AM)
Alexander and Beth, yes I was just thinking that. Error.
Martin Puchner to Everyone (8:32 AM)
Errors; interruption of transmission; changing values; selection biases etc.
Alexander Forte to Everyone (8:34 AM)
For those interested in epistemicide as concept: Boaventura de Sousa Santos' book Epistemologies of the South: Justice Against Epistemicide
Diana Henderson to Everyone (8:36 AM)
My friends in the NUS Liberal Arts School (which was there before Yale arrived, and still there as Yale leaves) are leaders in the Global Shakespeares Asia-focused (inter-cultural theater) movement, so I am more optimistic about that particular situation! SUTD is still there even as MIT’s contractual role is over…that one is complicated, but links with these conversations too:)
Me to Everyone (8:46 AM)
Alexander, Tristan, Beth, Satoru, regarding 'epistemicide' as concept, and looking forward, (and perhaps the role of Pragmatism as Anti-Authoritarianism, Richard Rorty’s new book 2021 HUP), am curious what role the information technology age, as condition, or epistemology, might play in shaping questions you are asking in new ways. This would leaving behind pre-modernity (textualism?) approaches to humanities’ questions, as well as modernity, post-modernity (and even advertising discourses) to begin to engage a whole new set of questions and conversation with regards to ‘internetity’? So, for example, how would one begin to look, Tristan, at forests and fengshui in China, regarding digital texts, objects, digitized legal records, and even in a realistic virtual earth for forestry and humanities in new ways, thanks to new emerging epistemological questions in the information age?

Diana Henderson to Everyone (8:48 AM)
There’s some promising and exciting work in ecotheater, performance-as-practice that may be a reminder that the intersection of the arts with humanities is super important. (They’ve also been centering embodiment and affect….forever?…in practice.)
Martin Puchner to Everyone (8:48 AM)
Very interesting point, Beth Harper. I feel that some recent climate fiction is trying for something that might be called re-enchantment.
Diana Henderson to Everyone (8:50 AM)
Thank you all so much! A great first day.

And how would a Realistic Virtual Harbin Hot Springs as Ethnographic Field Site Dovetail with a Realistic Virtual Earth for Humanities ,especially Humanities-wiki-virtual-world-graphy -wise (like Ethno-Wiki-Virtual-World-Graphy)?

More (much) here, Mark, genealogy-wise esp, and regarding the names of these beaches on the Isle of Lewis Scotland, that begin this post -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.
In piping, Ceol Mor ('music big' in Scots' Gaelic) is the classical bagpiping music, Piobaireachd, and Ceol Beag (music little') ... all with different accent marks, and spelling too ... and again Ceol Beag is the Light Music (in a Quaker sense too, somehow, regarding your Dad? :) ... Just found these beaches, with related names (to these two forms of piping) on the Isle of Lewis (but which are not a new 3rd form or genre of piping I'm seeking to create called "Piobaireachding the Blues" :) ... and these names remind me a lot of places in JRR Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings' " trilogy ... and am learning just a bit more of Scots' Gaelic in all of this, but haven't been able to look inside my own bodymind, deeply, Yoga-wise, to SEE how these words are newly encoded in my genes, or even the structure of language in our genetics ... may go Tao-ist-ly (wu wei, or non-action, in meditation, too) deeper :) :)
Regards, Scott :)

Living in a 'safe house' and potentially seeking asylum in the spring (regarding perpetrators, offenders, purveyors of the illegal sex industry worldwide, and their latent networks of violence ... and where is law enforcement in all of this, and now with information technologies in 'internetity' which comes after modernity and post-modernity and advertising discourse ... as a condition, or discourse (or culture or milieu or context, all anthropologically too) in social science that's informing many aspects of our subjectivity I hypothesize :)

Dear Jim, Ed, Ma, Alden, Sandy, All,
Lovely evening at the UU CHURCH OF KENSINGTON on this wee hill with a bench where I often come ... And thanks, Jim, for the email about tracking - "If you carry a smartphone, you are being tracked, ..."
It's an interesting question, by the way, by whom and why, Jim (besides the operators of machine learning (at Google Maps, Nozama, the federal government, CA law enforcement, fire depts., the American Automobile Assoc., taxis, in different ways etc... which also may well change through time, as individuals, identities, and organizations etc ) Electronic Shield bag you suggested getting Jim still hasn't arrived yet ... And I decided to explore walking this evening again with smartphone on ... And make inferences about possible tracking etc ... A few inferences came to mind about possibles ... (And the other evening I turned phone off and walked here ... With other inferences ... And wonder about an signal emitter in smartphone even when powered off) ...re electronic shield bag ...
What is going on with this? Why aren't the American people resistant (20 months into the Coronavirus pandemic, now worn down a bit .? And which identities ? ...) and with all kinds of potential abuses of these GPS issues possible? Could the international illegal s x industry be further facilitated, or digging its heels in ... Hell ya popped up ... Due to the profit, and with their latent networks of violence, especially in the international space)?
Just had a Topical group piping lesson at 5 am PT, noon for Stuart Liddell in Argyllshire Scotland 11pm for one student in Australia ... New networks forming ... (What identity do these 6 Piobaireachd learning folks aggregate around, besides Piping and Piobaireachd )? And what's going on in 'the murder capital of Europe' (I've recently heard it called, Glasgow with the Climate Change conference CoP26 (college of Piping CoP tutor books????) or the meeting of many many countries' armed SERVICES' even too ?) ...and where Russia and China did not join in but India was there ... And were some scores somehow being settled too among soldiers and officer types even speculatively)? I've heard Scotland politically called conservative with a small 'c' when studying at the University of Edinburgh School of Celtic and Scottish Studies in 2003-04 for a year, and I had long hair for another full year studying in Edinburgh again in 77-78 at Fettes College... And speculatively I wonder whether this Conference of Parties CoP Climate Change conference could also be a gathering time for high up military types ... Now with new IT maturing (machine learning and AI, in the interest of nation states ) ... MACHINE LEARNING law enforcement with electronic medical records of vaccination ? ... What are European Union identities doing with machine learning law enforcement and military objectives for example separate from the big companies in the US in relation to Uniformed services here in USA re identity too?
Living Vin a 'safe house,' for whistle blowing about re Canyon 94516 by calling the police twice, & ABOUT Stanford, UC Berkeley, Berkeley Law, the SF QUAKER Meeting, Reed, Harbin, and not seeking to be a victim ... May be seeking asylum in Europe in the spring of 2022 ... And continue to call for abolition of the illegal sex industry internationally at WUaS ... with the former clerk of the SF Quaker Meeting in the mid-2010s (who them moved east with his family to Philadelphia ... still posting as his Twitter header "End Child Detention" ...
Quaker Religious Thought's call for papers on #decolonizing #Quakers #peace testimony, h/t @MillerJayD: https://t.co/bAsw8Aekt9
— chrismsf (@chrismsf) November 3, 2021
https://twitter.com/chrismsf/status/1455980551177900034. ..
But this may be too entrenched ...
And Nancy Pelosi's weekly email still repeatedly saying "Build Back Stronger ..." - and could this refer to the illegal sex industry internationally based in SF, and even out of a network at the SF Quaker Meeting ? Other countries operate very differently from California as Nation state etc
Abolition-ally yours, and find regards, Scott
Glad to have participated in this 5am-2pm Harvard Smartphone's Symposium yesterday -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/andersons-mountain-crown.html - but with a pretty heavy dose of identity coming through too. Thinking Harvard Profs Tim Smith MD and JP ONNELA, directors, did a good job in this 3rd Annual conference ... Although I don't think I'm much further along with planning for brain research studies from the Harbin warm pool with Wearables into Avatar Bots Electronic Medical Records ... But maybe Harvard can help with science of these studies ... :)
Nevertheless, I did make a giant step today in developing my Ethnographic book and research ... With the Tweets at bottom -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/owens-peak-wilderness_02004565726.html?m=0
- but which need to be planned for re protecting people from being tracked in our new world of AI AND machine learning potentially with Google Street View with Time Slider
Thanks again for your emails Jim and Ed I'm this thread and please all stay safe!
Fond regards, Scott

At least 5 million lives lost to #COVID19 in under 2 yrs. Each tragic milestone represents a collective failure to act. Massive effort is needed NOW to vaccinate 40% of the population of all countries by year end & 70% by mid next year. Let’s turn words into action #VaccinEquity https://t.co/enDdp9Zf8v

Hi Scott, Yes, my mother Arlene was Unitarian. When she visited here, I think the San Jose church she attended had been built around a live oak tree, which was kind of neat. Not sure, but that is what I recall - it was quite a while back. Great the WUaS can play a role in abolition, as Quaker's did for making slavery illegal in the USA. Just got back from an afternoon walk with my wife Diane, and son (31) Adam, and now have to get busy on my next presentation. Thanks, -Jim

Hi Scott, Yes, you mentioned you are looking for a life partner. As people get older, and do not meet a life partner through everyday social interactions, it seems that arranged marriages and match-making services become a more favored option. However, I have no real experience on this topic, just something I imagine would make sense. Thanks, -Jim

Hi Jim,
Thanks and glad you found a partner with whom to begin a family. As I may have mentioned, I've explored the idea of arranged marriages when I was in my teens and twenties, but since this didn't happen, I am appreciating my mother's suggestion of circulation to connect naturally, and would do so perhaps in Europe in the spring, if I seek asylum there (due to my whistle blowing). Here's where we've communicated last about arranged marriages - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/10/dalmor-and-dalbeag-beaches-isle-of.html. Women relate differently from California compared with say, Europe (where I've lived four separate years, for 3 1/2 years) or in school contexts, say at Reed College or at Quaker Pendle Hill center for Study and Contemplation (in which contexts I've met two of the most wonderful mutual loves, albeit in our 20s). Glad you are doing well in this coronavirus pandemic self-quarantine and significant turn in American history.
As I think I have mentioned before too, meeting a MD, AND possibly someone like the 2 women I've mentioned above and before, ... and possibly in the context of Harvard Medical School residents, brainstorming-wise, could have much merit. I was born in Cambridge MA so there would some cultural and place familiarities in these regards too. Natural attraction has much merit and while a ophthalmologist
...(a med-20s' E.K.? or ??? but not the woman we've talked about), could share circles with family friends, Harvard Professor Emeritus Dick Robb MD, ophthalmologist (since I was a baby) . . . . Am not that drawn to her here . . . . Perhaps, however, meeting new MDs in her circle could make much sense, if I was living or visiting the Boston area with the possibility of moving there in the spring, for example. Living in a 'safe house' and seeking not to become a victim, as I continue whistle blowing about ethical and legal wrong doing, and for the abolition of the illegal sex industry. Getting World University and School off the ground financially with this ethical issue while coding for 7.8 billion people each a Wikidata Pin #, and for free universal education, people to people, and wiki, and UBI EXPERIMENTS to distribute a single cryptocurrency backed up by central banks in most nation states could be great.
Congratulations on your retirement, Jim!
Thanks, Scott

Hi Jim,
You give new meaning to the 'cut to the chase' idea, Jim, language-wise. As you may have read, I'm exploring Plan B - and thanks 🙏 so much. I've thought about hacking my daily Stanford Mine Pi free money App re UBI EXPERIMENTS with the new Google Pay App on the recent Android 12 update ... With voice ... "OK Google, please interoperate Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency with Google Pay, on this Android phone" ... But Google Voice is not up to this hack yet, and instead said "Here's what I found on the Web." So I still can't buy anything with the ~2300 Pi coin that I now have. Am not sure to whom "I" refers to either. Am wondering too whether, if it were possible to move into 670 Ridgecrest Canyon CA again, and with (a med-20s' E.K.? or ??? but not the woman we've talked about), whether we could convert (concert) the shop with Kaiser Permanente Health's help into a virtual ophthalmology clinic, and for tele-robotic virtual eye surgery too, as well as an 3D -infinite-D immersion Multimedia studio to do field work for Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic research, with soaking, as well as travel anywhere in the world, in history too (re time slider). 4 'MIT Media Lab Light Bulb' projectors, one in each corner - is the initial idea (and think planetarium. Might benefit from a cooling system in hot summers. Then we both might be able to work from home, and raise a family and share much of the daily aspects of life together too.
Thanks so much for your email,
Scott

Hi Jim, All,
Following up here on yesterday's emails.
Family friend Dick Robb MD had a stroke 4-5 years ago, and my mother said 3-4 weeks ago that he's having a difficult time (he's in his mid-late 80s). While, VERY speculatively, I could hope that George Church - both at Harvard Medical School - could be going over to Brookline to try out new aging reversal genetic drug therapies, emerging at a snail's pace from research on dogs at UMass Medical School (by Broad Institute's Elinor Karlsson - who is attractive psychologically to me) ... and that they are working, minusculely, Dick and his daughter, Erica Robb Thaler MD an ENT (Otorhinolaryngology) at UPenn (https://www.pennmedicine.org/providers/profile/erica-thaler), are the only ones who could know Dr. McCoskey VERY well, since I don't think Maitreyi Mazumdar MD (https://www.childrenshospital.org/directory/physicians/m/maitreyi-mazumdar) also in HMS would know Dr. McCoskey that well if at all. I also don't think Dick would forward my email to Dr McCoskey MD either, if she might be a student of his, as ophthalmologists, (- and she having been 1st in her Harvard Medical School class). Am also, as I wrote, not that drawn to the more recent picture of her. Arranged marriage thinking is one cultural approach to having kids, still practiced in India and other cultures and countries, more than in the USA (in unstudied opinion) but psychiatry is another cultural approach (with more nods to science than anthropology) ... And Lacanian psychoanalytic psychiatry is another cultural approach with fewer nods to science than psychiatry (I'd argue for this in an academic paper in psychiatry as a science). That written, besides connecting naturally - which doesn't appear to be happening with Dr. (a med-20s' E.K.? or ??? but not the woman we've talked about), - I draw some insights (re psychoanalytic psychiatry) from its thinking re pairing in the sometimes observed parallel between a wife or husband seeking a partner like their parent of the opposite sex. I was struck by how much Maitreyi's husband looks like Mainak Mazumdar, her and Pin's father (whom I know from Pittsburgh and India). And I'm struck, for example, by how much Dick Robb's oldest son, Henry Robb (very old friend) 'married' his mother, Lucy Robb, in marrying Cliona Burke Robb -

In my learning from my past far reaching mutual loves, both 23 yo, or around this (when I was in my 20s too), and bursting with fertility in their radiance, for one, and who had a spark for me, and both fair haired, it wouldn't surprise me if I connected with and married someone like my mother but in her mid 20s re fertility,

And perhaps by exploring the idea of a tea party, I could meet someone else in the Boston area, born there even (like me) in a once a month Sunday afternoon tea. (Am also, psychologically struck by the 'Ycleptance' idea of same and different here - http://scottmacleod.com/JohnMoneyConceptsOfDeterminism.html
- re 'Pairbonding' per John Money's thinking. These ideas replace some aspects of psychoanalytic psychiatry, Pavlovian and Skinnerian thinking too, as you may read).
Thanks for your help, Jim!
Abolition-ally yours,
Scott

Hi Scott, I have zero experience as a matchmaker - so be cautious taking my advice. However, I doubt the average 20-30 years old is going to be able to fully appreciate your intellectual depth, and ability to connect disparate areas with passion, and not conform to traditional day-to-day logics. That said, finding a true life companion is a great goal to focus on. A goal is "the progressive realization of a worthy ideal." Hope you are following the advice of Earl Nightingale, and his 30 day challenge. Stay focussed on your goal, think about it every morning and night, and while you are working on it, be of service to others and good things will surely come your way. WUaS is also a great goal - and I think by 2028 the AI technology will exist to help you realize it more fully. You will become empowered by AI capabilities for language translation and matching learning materials to learners, and even certifying that learners know what they set out to learn. Today, YouTube, Wikipedia, GitHub, and Kaggle are the four best learning platforms that are freely available that I know of and use regularly. Would love to see "good luck" following you safely everywhere as you achieve your important life goals. Think about your primary goal, while serving others - that is all it takes for most of us. "The human mind is the last unexplored continent on Earth." Thanks, -Jim

Dear Jim, Ed, Peter Norvig, Ma, Alden, Sandy, Larry, Sid, Unitarians, Quakers, Cuttyhunkers, All,
Jim, thanks so much for our recent emails, possibly a Sunday afternoon tea at 4pm Eastern Time, for meeting people! (Are all these emails actually from you? Some don't sound like they're from you).
And was that former 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 landlord mentally ill t.w. who pulled yesterday smoothly into the parking lot, in a somewhat familiar white pickup (but without the 'w designs' or sim. logo behind the driver's door) at Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve along Skyline Drive, about a mile from the Skyline-Pinehurst Road entrance to Canyon 84516 (3 miles down the road), where I stopped to go to the restroom, after picking up my mail in the Canyon 94516, with a 4th duplicate WUaS Corporation CA Franchise Tax Board tax bill (having paid ~$3,000 on the first one about a week ago), and picked up some other mail items, including the early-arriving electronic shield bag for smartphones that you encouraged me to get (since I'm living in a safe house' and head over 2 the Canyon PO about once a week)? I didn't stop to actually see if it was potentially criminal mentally ill predator offender t.w. - re even a kind of potential 'w's last stand' per George Custer in 1876 even? Could he know someone who has access to Google Maps and my GPS location at any given time (having experienced a number of curious seemingly Google Maps and Pandora Music Streaming GPS related events along Skyline Blvd, including what I'm calling a 'non-creditable death threat' ... and which friend Ed Smyth MD actual checked out ) ?
While I think that the 3 of them ... w, l.w., and d.t. ... would go to any lengths to protect their 670 Ridgecrest 1.5 acres, even with criminal track records pages long, I left Canyon having called the local Moraga police twice whistleblowing there too ... and am living in a 'safe house' and potentially seeking asylum on the east coast or in Europe or ... in the spring of 2022 ... but I think that without abolition of the illegal sex industry internationally, and its latent illegal networks of violence, I probably won't be safe anywhere ... given time ... unless both law enforcement practices change (re w. for example) ... and cultural practices too. Thanks Jim for saying too that the sex industry is huge (which didn't sound like you, for example) ... and thanks Sandy (my brother) for saying on Cuttyhunk around August 30th when we were talking that you will allow that the sex industry exists, ... (first I've heard you say this, actually, Sandy) ..
Am seeking not to become a vicim of crime gangs ... and hence am seeking to grow an abolition movement of the illegal sex industry ...
Heading off to get car maintenance done tomorrow, and as I've written before, . . . - ... and could anyone criminal who possibly can GPS my location on Skyline Drive and share this information with a criminal t.w. on turf around Canyon 94516, also share information about my location with Toyota Palo Alto, or with d.t. to share with a possible student of his at Toyota Palo Alto? Could Community Colleges and Car Dealerships also have access to Google Maps' GPS locations of individuals in this particular 'Pandora's box' of security regarding distributed digital technologies?
The WUaS Corporation is making progress, tiny step after tiny step - and although I can't say WUaS is glad to have received 4 tax bills from the CA FTB - there does seem to be the beginnings of a communication emerging, and I'll follow up on this 4th bill with Diana Ramirez, in a local state senator representatives office, which I went into in person the other day, and with the first 3 tax bills (two of which were duplicates in one way or another).
Hoping you all are doing well as the non-SARS CoV2 non-epidemic self-quarantine eases a little ... glad Open Band will play for Scottish Country Dancing beginning Monday for the 1st time in about 20 months -
Monday #ScottishCountryDancing class in Berkeley @ St. Clement's will begin again on 11/15 on a bi-weekly basis, & then on 11/29 & 12/13 in 2021 #DanceScottish #ScottishCountryDance >https://t.co/jralgPlavK @WorldUnivAndSch #fun #fitness #friendship #TheOpenBand #ScottishDance ~ https://t.co/lDVnCOs6Dp

Friendly regards, and abolition-ally yours, Scott
Hoping both law and culture can come to play much further significant roles in abolition (and following on the anti-slavery act of 1833 in Britain, and the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 in the USA for example ... )

Could the potential persons who might have access to non-Google GPS and my location be located at a country club (involved speculatively even in the illegal sex industry) not far from Pinehurst, Skyline Blvd, Shepherd's Canyon, and Manzanita, on Manzanita I think (https://hills.caclubs.com/public/directions ???)? Whistle-blowing here further in order to not become a victim ... Please stay safe all, and please abolish the illegal sex industry.
Friendly regards, Scott
