Dear Universitians, friends, all, 

Greetings from MIT OCW-centric - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - wiki #GrowWithGoogleWUaS World Univ & Sch WUaS. 


As a Friendly unprogrammed Quaker (Nontheist Friend, or Nontheist Quaker) leading or calling - to create free universal education with free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric World University and School WUaS Degrees in all ~200 countries and in their main languages, and free wiki schools for people-to-people wiki-teaching and wiki-leading in all 7,159 known living languages - WUaS Monthly Business Meeting is becoming WUaS Weekly Business Meeting / WUaS News and Q&A on Mondays at 10 am PT ... and this Friendly Business Meeting (loosely in the manner of unprogrammed Quakers) is what is guiding free MIT OCW-centric World University and School WUaS in so many ways, with an invitation to join this on Mondays at 10 PT or come into conversation with WUaS on social media.


The next MIT OCW-centric - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS News and Q&A meets on Monday July 21, 2025 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, 1:00 PM ET (US & Canada), 5:00 PM GMT, 10:30 PM India Time, 1:00 AM Tu the next day Hong Kong Time (but please check your time converter from any of your 24 time zones to join this open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting) with Zoom URL here too - 




Topic: M 07/21/25 open MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS News and Q&A, with Zoom URL
Time: Jul 21, 2025 10:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

Meeting ID: 713 7891 4681
Passcode: AtV1xt



Free MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is growing, and growing with #GrowWithGoogleWUaS, for free-to-students' online degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD IB high school/similar, AA/AS, and Master's - first in English, then in each of all ~200 countries and in their main languages, and see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI: #WorldUniversityInSchool" updated 3/2/24 - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306.


And see too both wings of WUaS with AMAZING potential synergies between them: 1) the 501 c 3 tax exempt MIT OCW-centric World University and School listing in Candid Guidestar affiliated with the IRS - https://www.guidestar.org/profile/27-3105368, and 2) the for profit general stock company WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press information and tax ID number ... as both wings of WUaS grow and are seeking to code for most of all 7.9 billion people on the planet from - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and to both end poverty (e.g. with Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily, with an invitation code here - https://minepi.com/sgkmac) and create free universal education in each of all 200 countries with free degrees from home - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States in the countries main languages, - and as WUaS seeks to code for speakers of all 7,159 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages, and from there most of all 8 billion people on the planet.

All the best, abolition-ally, Friendly greetings, 
Scott

Agenda item 4


Proposed Automated LMS for WUAS ... Learning Management System from Rifai at Freedom College in Sri Lanka (southeast of India) 


Hi Rifai, 

Nice to hear from you after quite a while. I hope this email finds you well too. 

I filled out your form and got a certificate too. 

I've also attached the Certificate of Completion 

to Mwende Evande WUaS Certificate of Completion CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch Spring 2022.pdf 

for your reference, but the "CS First with Google at World Unv & Sch" course, learning the Scratch programming language (which interoperates with Lego Spike Prime robotics' kits), has been turned down - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home - so WUaS is no longer offering it. 

And as you know, WUaS seeks to offer our free for credit courses by building on and adapting CC-4 licensed MIT OpenCourseWare  - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - in 7 languages - https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/. 

And WUaS doesn't have any students currently, or applying yet (as WUaS accredits and potentially in collaboration with a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, for accreditation, and WUaS Educational Services' Stores for books, computers, robotics, groceries, too). 

Here's the Bangladesh World University and School newly in the Bangla language as a start -
https://sites.google.com/view/bdworlduniversityandschool/ - and in Google Sites, in which I'm building WUaS's other website today and migrating toward for AI & ML too.


Thanks, 
Scott




Thanks!

Good morning from the green wood of East Bay MUD parklands. How are you? Thanks Bryon for saying about 2 weeks ago I think that you could help make 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 newly safe and vacant and for the physical-digital WUaS Academic Medical Center, e.g. I think by amicably moving (... out (eg. ... with the help of the US federal and state of California law?

How could "Coming of Age in Second Life" (2008, Princeton UP) best be read with Scott MacLeod's "Naked Harbin Ethnography" (2016, Academic Press at WUaS) book in a Digital Ethnography course from Oxford?



In what ways could "Coming of Age in Second Life" by Tom Boellstorff best be read with Scott MacLeod's "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book in a Digital Ethnography course from Oxford?

Gemini AI gave 2 responses -

Choice A

https://g.co/gemini/share/b4447ead01cc

Scott MacLeod's "Naked Harbin Ethnography" and Tom Boellstorff's "Coming of Age in Second Life" offer distinct yet complementary perspectives for a Digital Ethnography course at Oxford. Reading them together would provide a rich understanding of the methodological and theoretical challenges and opportunities in studying virtual worlds.


AND SEE many further related responses -

Agenda item 8 

Meeting UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and MacArthur 'Genius' Grant Recipient Aiwha Ong in whose course I was a Reader in around 2000 at Vik Chaat's Indian restaurant in Berkeley - and see agenda 8 http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/07/egyptian-lotus-nymphaea-lotus.html 

Vik's Chaat in Berkeley Sun 7/20.25 & anthropology - of Actual-Virtual Harbin too

Hi Aiwha (Ong, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at UC Berkeley),

Nice to see you and your husband, I think, at Vik's Chaat in Berkeley today.

And great to talk with you about that 'nudie place' you called my Physical-Digital ethnographic field site Harbin Hot Springs many years ago; here's the blog entry from today I mentioned, in daily blog since 2008!) - 

Rowan tree: How could "Coming of Age in Second Life" (2008, Princeton UP) best be read with Scott MacLeod's "Naked Harbin Ethnography" (2016, Academic Press at WUaS) book in a Digital Ethnography course from Oxford?


- with remarkable responses from Gemini AI - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/07/rowan-tree.html.

And regarding the anthropology of aging reversal and extreme longevity genetic drug therapies, see these series of Tweets below from today too in the PS ...

one of which retweets He Jiankui regarding his successful yet controversial germline editing, about which HMS Professor of Genetics' George Church above talks about -

@Jiankui_He
Many people are again interested in my work.

These seem to be two fascinating areas for courses even at UC Berkeley Anthropology, in 1) Digital Ethnography (and see this Oxford Digital Ethnography online course happening now, and taught by UC Davis alumnus & Oxford Lecturer William Henderson Kelly which I saw and replied to on the AoIR email listserv, and which is here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/06/oriental-darter-or-indian-darter.html ...) and 2) in the medical anthropology of genetics and aging reversal (are any medical anthropology courses on genetics taught these days at Cal).  

Congratulations again on being a MacArthur Fellowship recipient - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aihwa_Ong & https://anthropology.berkeley.edu/aihwa-ong.

[Air-L] New CDT Report - Content Moderation in the Global South: A Comparative Study of Four Low-Resource Languages & Public Webinar Aug 7, 2025

The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) invites you to join us for a public webinar on August 7th, 2025 at 9AM
ET, where we will explore key themes from the study. RSVP to attend:
Interrogating
content moderation systems in indigenous and low-resource languages (Maghrebi Arabic, Kiswahili, Tamil, and Quechua) of the
Global South
<https://cdt.org/event/interrogating-content-moderation-systems-in-indigenous-and-low-resource-languages-of-the-global-south/>.
Live interpretation will be available in English, Swahili, Arabic, and
Spanish.

In brief our findings suggest that:

   -

   Currently, global tech companies use two main approaches to content
   moderation: Global and Local. Many of these “global” policies applied
   uniformly across regions at scale often originate from U.S. laws and norms
   and can ignore unique linguistic and cultural nuances. The local approach
   involves tailoring policies, particularly those related to cultural
   matters, to specific regions. This approach, despite its promise of
   inclusivity, sometimes poses obstacles and limitations on users trying to
   challenge local norms that violate their rights.
   -

   The use of global and local approaches combined with the outsourcing of
   content moderation for the low-resource languages can lead to ineffective
   moderation and pressure on human moderators working for these companies.
   For example, moderators from a single country are often tasked with
   moderating content from across their region, despite dialectical and
   contextual variations.
   -

   Resistance is a common phenomenon among users in the Global South. Many
   users across the case studies employed various tactics to circumvent and
   even resist against what they saw as undue moderation. This involved
   changing letters in the language, using emojis, uploading random content
   alongside material they believed would be restricted, and avoiding certain
   words. In other cases, users realized that the automated tools used by the
   platforms did not understand their indigenous language and so they simply
   posted in that language to avoid moderation.
   -

   Lastly, many NLP researchers and language technology experts in the
   Global South have developed tools and strategies to improve moderation in
   many low-resource languages. However, these scholars and experts often feel
   underutilized or unheard by tech companies

.

Over the past 18 months, the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) has
been studying how content moderation systems operate across multiple
regions in the Global South. Our team studied four languages: Maghrebi
Arabic, Kiswahili, Tamil, and Quechua. We are excited to announce the

Agenda item C


The Academic Press at WUaS (MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch) is planning to publish from Google Street View with time slider, text in the sidebar, for my 7th book, a 2nd Harbin Hot Springs' Heart Consciousness Church ethnographic book project, both 1) to paper (and which may include an audio versions ... and including exploring publishing my previous 4 books of poetry), and 2) to new digital formats, like the back of digital glasses, and WUaS Multimedia Rooms, eg in our home bathrooms for soaking in a virtual Harbin Hot Springs from home, for a soaking relaxation response meditation ... potentially to reinvent the book.

Stay tuned,
Scott

Dear Doreen (Hendley), and The Acceleration Project (TAP - affiliated with JP Morgan Chase bank),

Greetings from MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School and the WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press. I just registered for another The Acceleration Project - TAP session (with TAP affiliated with JP Morgan Chase bank), with this email - wuascorpceoclerk@worlduniversityandschool.org - and got confirmation. No TAP representative showed up for the last TAP session, when I was located in Lakeport CA. Regarding both WUaS wings, 1) the non-profit 501 c 3 World University and School, and 2) the for-profit WUaS Corporation legal entity in the state of CA, make possible INCREDIBLE synergies between them, and as WUaS grows in all 200 countries and in for speakers of all 7159 known living languages; best to have a look at the 2 wings below, and regarding also their tax ID numbers at bottom of the 2 pages.

See a TAP consultant potentially at 4pm on Tuesday July 22, 2025 at 4pm Pacific Time. 

Thanks,
Scott GK MacLeod
