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://biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.13.566787v1 we used 🧬 screens to find new rejuvenation factors🧵1/8

Greetings, John (Sargent MD) in summer 2024 (continuing)



Hi John, 


How are you? I hope this email finds you well ... Perhaps you know some of the scientific literature on the following, with your living for so long in the greater Boston area. 

Must say, I get to feeling somehow connected (again) in listening to the Grateful Dead's music (from 1965 to about 1979) ... interesting regarding studying bliss too  -

    1. Creating a Realistic Virtual Earth
    2. Collaboration between Scientists and Machine Learning
  1. The Study of Bliss and Enjoyment in Learning
    1. Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
    2. Exploring Bliss in a Virtual Harbin Hot Springs

And see the PS too - 

How are you? How about you? 

Do you think we'll live to the year 2103 (I'd be around 123 years old - how about you?) by any chance with extreme longevity genetic drug therapies emerging - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/06/cat-ba-langur-vietnam.html ? 

Scott 






PS


How does psychedelic rock work, e.g when listeners hear it decades later, and somehow get high? 


My current hypothesis has to do with brain localization re neural firing 'pathways' - eg that the Grateful Dead possibly played regularly on psychedelics, & that this, for example, affects some same NEURAL PARTS of the brain as actually taking psychedelics (eg LSD) & listening to music that gets one to 'flow' ; I'd like to study this in a realistic virtual earth for brains, and with brainwave headsets potentially too. One difference is that listening to Grateful Dead music that gets one high decades after 1965-79 for example, comes in through auditory pathways to the possibly study-able parts of the brain, compared with ingesting LSD for example, which is consumed and comes to the brain through circulatory processes. 



STEM-wise?, (aside from the intractability of understanding consciousness philosophically at this time)  ... and regarding the Grateful Dead logo ... of the lightning bolt through a Deadhead, and re neural processes or firing and even through specific localized pathways?




*
A possibility - 

What happens when you listen to psychedelic music?
Depersonalization allows the user to lose the self and gain an "awareness of undifferentiated unity." Dynamization, as [Timothy] Leary wrote, makes everything from floors to lamps seem to bend, as "familiar forms dissolve into moving, dancing structures"... Music that is truly "psychedelic" mimics these three effects.
 




PPS

I suppose these questions relate to this "flow, the psychology of optimal experience" scientific and psychological literature too - 




John,

How are you? 

Career-wise, besides developing MIT OCW_centric wiki World Univ and Sch (throughout the day) re Desiderata, I have daily-Google-calendared in things to do and create and learn 7 days a week .. but I sometimes don't do them all ... and seek in many ways to do these socially as well ... possibly online (even eventually in a realistic virtual earth for learning) ... but would choose to do these in PERSON with wonderful physical people too and  in a ROOM or physical space with GREAT learning friends and contacts  ... and to play with them too ... 



8am Yoga explorations 

9am write further of "Society, Information Technology, & Global University" (Academic Press at WUaS potentially translated into many languages)

10 am play and learn pretty Piobaireachd classical bagpipe music + 

11am learn further Blues' Keyboard from online resources, but potentially with a great teacher in room too, and noodle around playing for example with Dark Star from the Grateful Dead 

12 noon read 'Read fascinating and thinking generating books' probably Naked Harbin Ethnography further ... and later "Brave New Word" by Sal Khan (which I learned about from Bill Gates' summer reading list on Twitter)

1pm improve my German with Gemini AI and with talk-partners  

2 Lego Robotics with Lego Spike Prime robotics kit ... and playfully and with the Scratch programming languages AND SOCIALLY 

3 develop the World Univ & Sch wiki ...


But today, I thought I was going to meet my Reed College friend ... .......... in Maryland or West Virginia for a hike ... but didn't (he had just returned from a trip) ... and a bit of a Taoist too (non-action and naturalness somehow post 1960s) ... found my way to taking a deep dive scholarly into kind of 'words to live by' and Yoga thinking too as well as Unitarian transcendentalism (more about this is my blog post tomorrow which with Tweeting are salutary processes)

... which is alright ... but I'd like to riff easily and in fun ways with the above schedule ... 

Also I am a little sidetracked seeking to build out WUaS with Chase bank loans ... as well as grow a worldwide abolition movement to protect people ... and create a better world in the process ... all thinking wise re WUaS ... 

Flow the psychology of optimal experience" experiences per my email to you earlier today (albeit I do listen to the Dead through some of this sometimes ... but am almost sometimes 'over-listened' to the GD ...) ... the above are not ... but neither are the above dystopic for example ... 


Thoughts, questions, suggestions? ... as I seek to find a life partner and connect naturally and well ... and to begin a family ... and in limbo a bit in seeking to move forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center into a newly safe Canyon 94516 in 2024 ... (with questions too about the cyst-like activity happening in my left foot - and see - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/06/cat-ba-langur-vietnam.html - and in seeking to reverse this if I knew the cause, but think it may have something to do with PA laws ... since I never had this issue in California).

Talking with Gemini AI in some years could be good (if it could become like George Alexander MD or you potentially ... and know MD psychiatry and the logic too of this thinking helping profession) ... 

Would like to be heading up again to Harbin Hot Springs and to write my 2nd Harbin Hot Springs' ethnography ...

And things seem to have settled down a bit here at 5816 Callowhill st Pgh 15206 and on the street and nearby homes too ... and somehow partly with daily meditation (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/meditation). 

I think it's my mother I kind of get great feedback from these days (and who may be benefiting from our conversation in LANGUAGE since I've been in asylum in western PA since around August 2022) but only a bit ... on Sundays for example ... and she's my mother ... and if I do find and connect with a life partner, wife ... What kind of conversations and pair bonds (per http://scottmacleod.com/JohnMoneyConceptsOfDeterminism.html) will we develop I wonder?

Thoughts, questions, suggestions, feedback, words? 

Fond regards, Scott







John, 


Just after I wrote that ... and I find I have another tire puncture or similar light on ... 

Thoughts, suggestions?

Dear John, Ed, Ma (Janie), Pin, Peter, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Nick, Shawn, Ken, Lt John Tadler, All,

Greetings on a Saturday evening ... and glad I think I've sought US federal protection for myself, my mother and brother in Sandy in Maine further.

Just wrote the following emails below today to friend John (Sargent MD) ... in the PS, PPS and PPPS ... 

And just after I wrote the last one, ... I find I have another tire puncture or similar light on ... (Initial inquiries: the network of the person with the green vest initially and the ladder, and criminal? Lobos management Bryant Street rentals with sophie there and possibly with Chase bank Wilkinsburg's jenifer weber and george nicolai and similar ... with the women in Chador next door in the house out my east window ... who appeared in another car as a passenger just as I was leaving and in my car? ... OR SOMEONE in the craven psychopath Swiss or Lebanese soldier??? murderer??/ frederic khayat's networks ... and from my previous asylum house at 210 East End avenue Pgh PA 15221) ... and I don't have a credit card ... and will likely have to do this repair Monday afternoon ... and with a check, if possible, and I still have air in the tire ... if that's the issue  ... (This is the 2nd time in about 2 or 3 months that the tire light has come on ... and it's costly to get new tires ...) 

Seeking to learn from the Desiderata and "Go placidly ... " as I and WUaS grow MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch abolition movement ... 

Or someone who knew somehow that I might have been meeting ... .......... in Maryland or WV this morning, leaving at 5 or 6 in the morning ? Or ... 

How are you doing Ma - and after you were saying you were really stressed on Thursday evening? 

And Ma would you like to come in here tomorrow afternoon for a walk and a late tea, instead of my coming to Longwood for a late tea and a walk, after your Longwood get together from 2-3 pm tomorrow, since I don't think I'll be able to use my car with the tire light on. (And I still haven't received the toll bill from pay by plate ... per our Sunday trip last weekend to Fort Necessity National Park south of Pittsburgh ... curiously ... and being in asylum in western PA as I am).

Thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions? 

Time to continue to meditate ... and learn further from the Desiderata - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html.

Fondly, abolitionally, best regards,

Dear John, Ed, Ma (Janie), Sandy, Pin, Peter, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Nick, Shawn, Ken, Lt John Tadler, All, 

Good morning! I think it was good I sent the email at 4:35 am Sun 6/2/24 this morning, in PS, and regarding seeking to stay alive (re Chase bank Shadyside murder word), and with the puncture tire light coming on my car yesterday afternoon (although a worry to having sent it too) ...

Seems like fairly clear sailing conscientious objection-wise this morning, with meditation, first thing upon rising ...

Have blogged about some of this email thread from yesterday 6/1/24 here today -

Glad to have sought US federal protection for my mother, myself, and my brother Sandy in Maine ... since I think protection related processes are happening in the background, in secret (re US secret service even?) ...  and in WUaS growing a MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch abolition movement worldwide to protect people, potentially all 7.9 billion people on the planet in ~200 countries and in their main languages with AI and ML +.

Abolitionally, best wishes, in asylum in PA from CA, seeking to stay alive, Friendly Quaker greetings, 
Scott

Dear US senator and former Harvard law teacher Elizabeth Warren,  Lt John Tadler (Allegheny county police), and Peter Norvig (Google AI) regarding possible surveillance cameras inside or outside 5816 Callowhill St Pgh PA 15206, Ashlee, sophie & Barbara K et. al. at criminal Lobos management Bryant street rentals, attorneys' Shawn Flaherty and Nick Thompson, All, 

Greetings, and I hope this finds you well. How are you? 

In growing a MIT OCW- centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS abolition movement worldwide, and in Seeking to stay alive, and re the previous 8-10 arson events here at 5816 Callowhill St Pgh PA 15206, and the murderous run through attempt of me at the last asylum address in Pgh I was living (210 East End avenue Pgh PA 15221) POTENTIALLY with surveillance cameras installed in the kitchen of that third floor residence by city of Pgh police with univ pitt med ctr resolve crisis folks by a lurking policeman who entered that house when I was there without a warrant and thus illegally ... which motion activated surveillance cameras I'm positing could have been used for staging 
murderous run through attempt of me - AND RECORDING IT TOO (as legal evidence for ex),  ... 

I'm writing to report another puncture tire light on in my Toyota vehicle yesterday at about 5:45 pm on Saturday, June 1, 2024 which as I got into my vehicle and turned it on, first a light blue metallic convertible with top down raced by through the roundabout at Callowhill St and N Euclid ... And then a black Lexus pulled up near the front of 5816 Callowhill St Pgh PA 15206 house and a woman in reddish middle eastern garb with middle eastern headdress got out and went to the newly washed parked maroon car (that had a parking ticket on it for a week or two) and possible into the house one to east of 5816 Callowhill St (which I've seen this woman in middle eastern garb do possibly 3-4 times before - and WAS THAT YOU sophie manager at 5816 Callowhill St Pgh PA 15206 since the tall thin body shape of this woman in middle eastern garb looked similar to you, and IF SO were you or could you have been  getting paid as a MANAGER by criminal Lobos management Bryant street rentals to wear this garb and stage this middle eastern garb charade (with blue convertible driver too) as A WAY of 'SIGNING OFF' on the puncture of my car tire even, in paid cahoots with the driver of this black Lexus ... and USING possible surveillance cameras inside or outside 5816 Callowhill St Pgh PA 15206 to pinpoint when I left tfe house to go to my car ? Could this event too have been recorded by possible surveillance cameras inside or outside 5816 Callowhill St Pgh PA 15206 as legal evidence? 
 
I'm writing with these inquiries into another tire puncture light on in my car in front of 5816 Callowhill St Pgh PA 15206 because of the 'MURDER' word I heard in talking in Chase bank Shadyside with Chase Shadyside bank VP Shauna McNally many weeks ago (in seeking MIT OCW- centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS loans AND in growing a WUaS abolition movement worldwide to protect people, potentially all 7.9 billion people on the planet from here -  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University) because writing to "Chase bank Shadyside 12/11/23" email thread bankers and people (about 100 people) has brought a US federal I think LEGAL SUBPOENA to Chase bank Wilkinsburg Pgh PA for 7 months of my bank statements for 2 wrongly closed bank accounts OUT OF The BLUE thanks I think again to my ongoing writing of emails about this in a "Chase bank Shadyside 12/11/23" email thread
... and re again in seeking to stay alive re the 'murder' word Chase banker Shauna McNally said some weeks ago said at the close of our conversation in Chase bank Shadyside. (Could organizations in Pittsburgh in the grips of organized crime (internationally even) in some of these Lobos Management middle eastern garb and  Chase bank, with operations in about 100 of 200 countries in the world for example, regards?)

So could the possible motion activated surveillance cameras inside or outside 5816 Callowhill St Pgh PA 15206 have recorded either the possible tire puncture perpetrator or the charade in middle eastern garb possibly by employees on Lobos Management payroll - as legal evidence here? Am seeking further to document aspects of this possible crime and criminal activity -  and in seeking to stay alive.

Could another legal process like the US federal subpoena to Chase bank OUT OF THE BLUE such that I got these my 14 months of bank statements for 2 bank accounts on paper via FedEx on Thursday 5816 Callowhill St #7 Pgh PA 15206 (after a 4th Chase bank / Curated Coaching TAP / Stanford LBAN-invited to WUaS video call meeting)  ... And with a US FEDERAL Investigation developing into  criminal ?? Lobos management Bryant street rentals? 

Seeking to stay alive and re the 'MURDER' word I heard in talking in Chase bank Shadyside with Chase Shadyside bank VP Shauna McNally many weeks ago ... and as MIT OCW- centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS continues to grow a WUaS abolition movement world wide to protect people and victims from the wrongful buying and selling for example of women, kids, victims, others in the illegal sex drugs violence etc industries internationally and their latent networks of violence (and re also my father GKM MD's first subdural hematoma in Belize on 12/30/04 on univ pitt managed at the time semester at sea) ... while in asylum in western PA from the SF Bay Area since August 2022.

Glad I sought US federal protection for my mother, my brother in Maine and myself in dome of these regards months ago ... and as a US federal investigation potentially develops further into

Just texted my mother further - 

Hi Ma, How are you? Re the civil rights' movement of the 1960s back to the Emancipation Proclamation in 1865 ... with all the racist house burnings of Black People's homes ... At least a tire puncture isn't a burnt down house by the possible arsonist of 8-10 events here since I moved in ... Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at around 4 ... As this WUaS abolition movement grows ... LOVE, ABOLITIONALLY, ❣️, see you soon, Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/1960s❣️

Glad US federal and states' laws may be working effectively together in new ways ... abd in seeking to create sociocultural change and to protect people with a growing abolition movement 

... and to have also sought US federal protection for you, Ma, Sandy and myself some months ago ...

Ma, please reach out to people here with information technologies and in writing in seeking possible support  ... and as a WUaS abolition movement grows worldwide to protect people ... Seeking for you to be alive as longevity genetic drugs emerge and potentially past 123 years of age ...   

❣️, abolitionally, see you tomorrow, in asylum in PA from CA and seeking to stay alive (re the murder word Chase bank Shadyside VP Shauna McNally said at the end of our conversation the last time I was in that bank months ago,  seeking for US federal and states' laws to work effectively together in new ways to protect people and in growing a culture change of abolition, 🙂,

Boston has an old Hatha Yoga culture beginning with new England transcendentalism, Unitarianism, and the Bhagavad Gita in the late 1700s - thesis or inquiry 


*
With my having studied religion at Reed College (diploma degree in 1985, Religion, German too) and Hatha Yoga with a California licensed 2-year certificate (from the IYI of SF on Taraval) done in 1 year because I had a strong or good asana practice thanks to Dona Holleman's "Yoga Syllabus For Teacher and Student" and companion book "Asana in Photo" self published books (and my appreciating Angela and Victor's visionary and inspiring and thinking Yoga much) and as a Yoga teacher too ... http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html ...  and my parents (Gordon and Jane MacLeod) having married in the Unitarian church in Cincinnati Ohio in 1957 and my Granny Brown appreciating Huston Smith's "Religions of Man" (and having met and talked with Huston Smith in Berkeley possibly even as a consequence) ... and with my father GKM MD and I and brother Sandy all being born in the Boston area ... 

I dive into some related scholarly questions here re a psychological conception of Unitarian  transcendentalism and somehow re the - transcending with liberal religion idea - culturally,  Yoga and Hindu culture and thinking  informing this in New England ... And re the Desiderata and as remarkable - words to live by - or philosophy  -  too  ..  



So 
I explore here in this email thread questions about a

Possible 
thesis theses, or inquiry or inquiries (philosophically and consciousness wise too) - 

'Boston has an old Hatha Yoga culture beginning with new England transcendentalism  and the Bhagavad Gita in the late 1700s' - as thesis or inquiry 



THE ORIGINS OF YOGA: PART III







*
Boston has an old Yoga culture beginning with New England transcendentalism  and the Bhagavad Gita in the late 1700s which intertwines with Unitarianism there too  

Patrick Browne author of this history re transcendent in Boston in 1830s ? 

Patrick T.J. Browne




*
Boston has an old Yoga (Yoga asana or Yoga postures poses esp & Hatha Yoga seated meditation) culture beginning with New England transcendentalism



and 



1893 in Chicago ?






*

Desiderata (1927) and New England ?




When was Max Ehrmann at Harvard?

Ehrmann then studied philosophy and law at Harvard University, where he was editor of Delta Tau Delta's national magazine The Rainbow, circa 1896.[4]



Ehrmann's parents emigrated from Bavaria Germany possibly informing the Desiderata as inspiring and sensible  words to live by - or philosophy  -  too  ..  





*

Desiderata (1927) and origins of Hatha Yoga in New England ?


the Sritattvanidhi doesn’t focus on the meditative or philosophical aspects of yoga; it doesn’t chart the nadis and chakras (the channels and hubs of subtle energy); it doesn’t teach Pranayama (breathing exercises) or bandhas (energy locks). It’s the first known yogic text devoted entirely to asana practice—a prototypical “yoga workout.”




*


The Sritattvanidhi (Śrītattvanidhi, "The Illustrious Treasure of Realities") is a treatise written in the 19th century in Karnataka on the iconography and iconometry of divine figures in South India. One of its sections includes instructions for, and illustrations of, 122 hatha yoga postures.



Pics of poses  


*

The Haṭhābhyāsapaddhati ("Manual on the practice of Haṭha yoga") is a manual of Haṭha yoga written in Sanskrit in the 18th century, attributed to Kapāla Kuraṇṭaka; it is the only known work before modern yoga to describe elaborate sequences of asanas and survives in a single manuscript. It includes unusual elements such as rope poses.[1][2]



Pics too

Interesting diving here   ... On with Yoga meditation and a bit of asana first thing upon rising and with learning from the Desiderata (thanks George Alexander MD for sharing this with my mother and I in your Quaker home at Kendal Crosslands in around 2007, standing in front of a framed copy of this at the entrance to your place  ...
