Agenda item 2

Stanford Law CodeX


Dear Roland Vogl (Stanford Law CodeX Executive Director), All, 

Thanks for your great Stanford Law CodeX presentations on Th 1/25/24  - https://twitter.com/CodeXStanford/status/1749524739994083684. 

Some questions and connections from the chat:

2.1
Adrian and all - 

Thanks and interesting! How would you quantify legal “thinking” or “strategy” or conversations as distinct from document work (if editing work, and writing work, are the examples your software bills for), for example, please? How could this be billable? Or are you primarily creating software for legal work on documents? Planning for brainwave headsets?



And 


Thanks @Adrian Parlow - The Dragon Naturally Speaking idea of yesteryear, or even Google Voice development? Stanford Law Prof Hank Greely has been retweeting Nita Farahany much and re her “Battle for Your Brain” book and Brain technologies’ focus - https://twitter.com/nitafarahany?lang=en (https://twitter.com/HankGreelyLSJU) - How could a realistic virtual earth for brain science (think Google Street View with time slider) help, which MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is seeking to develop? Thanks, Scott



2.2
Thanks, James ... let's keep in touch as MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch begins to matriculate our online Law students from all 200 countries and see:

2.3
Aron - 

You mentioned the cost of Chat GPT dropping significantly recently … why ChatGPT vs. Bing Chat vs. Google Bard: 


https://www.zdnet.com/article/chatgpt-vs-bing-chat-vs-google-bard-which-is-the-best-ai-chatbot/


And since ChatGPT is corporate (per Wikidata’s product manager Lydia Pintscher’s retweet a few months ago), how might that affect Relativity's relationship with clients?


And why not focus on Wikidata Wikipedia's structured knowledge database in 300 languages for AI Data where


"Wikipedia contains trustworthy, reliably sourced knowledge because it is created, debated, and curated by people. It's also grounded in an open, noncommercial model, which means that Wikipedia is free to access and for sharing and it always will be" … and regarding the reliability of Wikidata’s knowledge ontology (and the possibilities for ~200 countries main languages even?)

Best, thanks, 

Scott

Agenda item 3
WUaS aging reversal and how Aging Reversal may work, and new directions with Yoga, telomere biomarkers, and a realistic virtual earth for aging reversal -  


1/8
 
Alex Plesa
@amplesa
Can we reverse aging? 7 yrs ago, Ocampo et al. showed that partial reprogramming can ameliorate aging hallmarks. But, OSKM induction has safety limitations & no new factors have emerged since. Here, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.13.566787v1 we used  screens to find new rejuvenation factors 1/8

https://twitter.com/amplesa/status/1737852952407326906 ... 





AND 

Good morning! How are you? 

Ed, you've mentioned telomerase endings and aging reversal when we've talked about this (on a walk) ... (- and of about 10 approaches to aging reversal, per George Church).

Found an interesting NIH 2017 science paper from India - and about Yoga - in these regards: 

Impact of Yoga and Meditation on Cellular Aging in Apparently Healthy Individuals: A Prospective, Open-Label Single-Arm Exploratory Study

Madhuri Tolahunase, 1 Rajesh Sagar, 2 and  Rima Dada 1 , *

What do you think? Could Kaiser Permanente NorCal - WUaS Academic Medical Center with WUaS Longevity Genetics' (Institute in Canyon 94516) be a possibility for further related research and with a realistic virtual earth for aging reversal at the cell, molecule and street view all with time sliders' levels? 

Some related sets of Tweets this morning below.

How to develop this research in a GCellView #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenomics (in Google Street View with time slider conceptually) environment - and what's an open-label study?  and what's a single-arm exploratory study?

Abstract

This study was designed to explore the impact of Yoga and Meditation based lifestyle intervention (YMLI) on cellular aging in apparently healthy individuals. During this 12-week prospective, open-label, single arm exploratory study, 96 apparently healthy individuals were enrolled to receive YMLI. The primary endpoints were assessment of the change in levels of cardinal biomarkers of cellular aging in blood from baseline to week 12, which included DNA damage marker 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OH2dG), oxidative stress markers reactive oxygen species (ROS), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and telomere attrition markers telomere length and telomerase activity. The secondary endpoints were assessment of metabotrophic blood biomarkers associated with cellular aging, which included cortisol, β-endorphin, IL-6, BDNF, and sirtuin-1. After 12 weeks of YMLI, there were significant improvements in both the cardinal biomarkers of cellular aging and the metabotrophic biomarkers influencing cellular aging compared to baseline values. The mean levels of 8-OH2dG, ROS, cortisol, and IL-6 were significantly lower and mean levels of TAC, telomerase activity, β-endorphin, BDNF, and sirtuin-1 were significantly increased (all values p < 0.05) post-YMLI. The mean level of telomere length was increased but the finding was not significant (p = 0.069). YMLI significantly reduced the rate of cellular aging in apparently healthy population.


Take blood samples at the beginning of 12 weeks and at the end with an N of 100, with 50 people doing Yoga regularly, and 50 not - ... and look at the cardinal biomarkers mentioned in the article? 

What do you think?

Fond regards, best wishes, Yogic-ally, 
Scott

Some recent "research" sets of Tweets about Chinese philosophers -


 ...
Why is Confucius so revered? * Why is Tao te Ching so revered?

Why is Confucius so revered? 

#WUaSConfucius is known as the first teacher in China who wanted to make education broadly available -establishing the art of teaching as a vocation -established ethical, moral, & social standards
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Confucius @WorldUnivAndSch #WUaSChina ~

What is Confucianism ?


Confucianism, also known as Ruism or Ru classicism,[1] is a system of thought and behavior originating in ancient China, and is variously described as a tradition, philosophy, (humanistic or rationalistic) religion, theory of government, or way of life.[2]



Confucianism regards texts such as the Five Classics as examples that should be followed to increase the harmony of the family, social order as a whole, and the world.

Concepts in Taoism - 

Ziran

Ziran is a concept in Daoism that literally means “self so; so of its own; so of itself” and thus “naturally; natural; spontaneously; freely; in the course of events; of course; doubtlessly” (Slingerland 2003, p. 97; Lai, p. 96). This Chinese word is a two-character compound of zi (自) “nose; self; oneself; from; since” and ran (然) “right; correct; so; yes”, which is used as a -ran suffix marking adjectives or adverbs (roughly corresponding to English -ly). It is worth mentioning that in Chinese culture, the nose (or zi) is a common metaphor for a person’s point of view (Callahan, 1989).

The word ‘ziran’ first occurs in the Daodejing (17, 23, 25, 51) and refers to the structure of Dao, which cannot be referred back to anything else.

D. T. Suzuki, in a brief article penned in 1959, makes the suggestion of ziran as an aesthetic of action: “Living is an act of creativity demonstrating itself. Creativity is objectively seen as necessity, but from the inner point of view of Emptiness it is ‘just-so-ness,’ (ziran). It literally means ‘by itself-so-ness,’ implying more inner meaning than ‘spontaneity’ or ‘naturalness’”

If you look this up in a contemporary Chinese dictionary, you’ll find ziran as meaning something like “at ease, natural, free from affectation”. Also, a slightly different pronunciation, but same characters, ziran, you’ll get nature or natural, or naturally, in the ordinary course of events; or “of course”. It has in any case, a fundamentalness, which is what we are trying to achieve (through wu wei, which can be described as “non-assertion.”). 



Why is Lao Tzu so revered?

Daodejing (Tao-te ching), commonly translated as the “Classic of the Way and Virtue.” Its influence on Chinese culture is pervasive, and it reaches beyond China. It is concerned with the Dao or “Way” and how it finds expression in “virtue” (de), especially through what the text calls “naturalness” (ziran) and “nonaction” (wuwei).



*

Why is Tao te Ching so revered?



The Tao-te Ching presented a way of life intended to restore harmony and tranquillity to a kingdom racked by widespread disorders.

In essence, it consists of “nonaction” (wuwei), understood as no unnatural action rather than complete passivity. It implies spontaneity, noninterference, letting things take their natural course: “Do nothing and everything is done.” Chaos ceases, quarrels end, and self-righteous feuding disappears because the Dao is allowed to flow unchallenged and unchallenging. Everything that is comes from the inexhaustible, effortless, invisible, and inaudible Way, which existed before heaven and earth. By instilling in the populace the principle of Dao, the ruler precludes all cause for complaint and presides over a kingdom of great tranquillity




All the best, abolitionaly, Friendly regards, see you soon, 
Scott
