Dear Universitians, friends, "Hack for Social Impact - 2025" in SF new friends, All, 

Greetings! 

Here are the best STEAM Creative Commons' licensed OpenCourseWare wiki #GrowWithGoogleWUaS World Univ & Sch WUaS Weekly Business Meeting / WUaS News and Q&A Agenda and News for both M 11/10/25, & M 11/17/25 to season for a week, and to invite feedback and your thinking in a variety of ways. 

And again, with the non-profit 501 c 3 wing - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - AND the for-profit general stock company legal entity in CA wing - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - still sharing the same root domain, how best to code for both wings' AI platforms, build them out in 200 countries and in all 7,159 living languages, and potentially in WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN # from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University ... Plan for - 1 or 2 bank accounts, still, and re developing the 501 c 3 - https://www.guidestar.org/profile/27-3105368 on the #CandidGuidestar platform - and possibly even multi-listing the WUaS Corporation on many stock exchanges, but starting with 1 stock exchange, - 1 Board or 2 Boards, and in seeking to use AI in the Boardroom (s) ? Perhaps some WUaS Boards for this will emerge further in communication with Stanford Law Rock Center. In these regards, WUaS is glad to have attended at Stanford Law Rock Center - 

And here's the timely and topical Stanford Rock Center for Corporate Governance recording of the webinar, "BoardGPT: Using AI in the Boardroom" from October 10, 2025 - https://youtu.be/W0bIo5K-bik

Wikidata Day, October 26, 2024. Source: Wikidata.

For several years now, I’ve been intrigued by Wikidata, the structured knowledge base that underpins Wikipedia and many other free knowledge projects. I’d heard about it at Wikimedia events, and even enjoyed a bit of Wikidata cake to celebrate the project's birthday. Still, the practical use cases always felt a bit abstract. Wikidata is the data-driven dimension of Wikipedia—I understood that—but what does that actually mean in real-world terms?

Agenda item 5 

How can pi crypto be developed to end poverty among all 7.9 billion people on the planet?

Pi crypto could theoretically help end poverty by enabling financial inclusion for the unbanked through its mobile-based mining, creating a decentralized ecosystem for transactions, and using its large user base to foster a new peer-to-peer economy. However, ending poverty is an extremely complex issue that Pi crypto cannot solve on its own; its success would rely heavily on factors like widespread Pi adoption, significant long-term price appreciation, the creation of a stable ecosystem, and integration with real-world goods and services, while also needing to address challenges like the digital divide and lack of infrastructure in many impoverished areas. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Potential benefits of Pi Network for poverty alleviation
Financial Inclusion: Pi's accessibility via mobile phones allows people who lack formal bank accounts to participate in the digital economy. This can provide a secure digital alternative to cash for unbanked populations, especially in developing regions where smartphone access is far greater than bank account access.
Decentralized Economy: The network's goal is to create a decentralized ecosystem where users can use Pi for everyday transactions, acting as a peer-to-peer marketplace and providing a functional, everyday currency for exchanging goods and services.
Broad User Base: The large, global user base of "Pioneers" is a significant asset for building a robust ecosystem and creating a large market for Pi-based applications and services.
Inclusivity in Distribution: Pi's mining mechanism, which started by giving higher rewards to early adopters and has a mechanism to decrease rewards over time, was designed to be inclusive, preventing excessive wealth concentration in the hands of early users.



In World University and School WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet and to end poverty from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University, and with a  WUaS partnering email from Pi cryptocurrency Network, how best can WUaS end poverty for, say the poorest billion people, and in seeking to distribute PI to all ?


"A strategy to help the poorest billion people could involve World University and School (WUaS) combining educational opportunities with the distribution of Pi cryptocurrency. WUaS could use its "coding for all" initiative to build utility for the Pi token, which could then be distributed as Universal Basic Income or micro-loans, while educational programs address skills gaps and financial literacy needed for successful adoption. More information is available on the wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org website"

'What’s New & Next in Education' - Agentic AI - Zoom Webinar Th 11/6/25


Dear Zoom Team,

Thanks so much for this - https://ev.zoom.us/webinars-events/whats-new-next-in-education-highlights-from-educause/ - and great to e-meet you. Greetings Team Zoom! Here are some further questions for you re Zoom's iterating Agentic AI, some of which, brainstorming-wise, MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School seeks to develop in innovative ways with AI and ML further :

One thing I've found remarkable about teaching and learning in 3D virtual worlds (beginning even in around 2006 or 2007 on Harvard's virtual island of Second Life, and just as voice was being added to SL) ... was the potential for 2 channels of communication in the learning conversation ... voice AND text chat, where the open TEXT CHAT during OFFICE HOURS in CyberOne: Law in the Court of Public Opinion course I was in (a lecture too even) WAS an opportunity for STUDENTS to engage and generate a conversation, leading even to a text-document which could become a library document, scholarly as well. How to develop this with Zoom agentic AI?

And in some of these regards, search on  -

"It was great to have free, interactive classes online exploring the possibilities of virtual worlds, etc.


It was also particularly the office hours (facilitated by Becca Nesson) in Charles Nesson's class "CyberOne: Law in the Court of Public Opinion with Rebecca Nesson and Gene Koo" in Second Life in 2006, as well as in the class itself (prior to the introduction of voice in SL) where the potential for 'flow experiences' (i.e. absorbed mind viz. Csikszentmihalyi's book "Flow" - what enjoyment is per his psychological studies) in group text chat emerged for me."
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2012/08/soft-coral-extreme-and-informal.html

AND
"it was during this course's office hours in group chat (Figure with dialogue example) that I experienced new possibilities for the exchange of ideas among people"
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2010/07/rainbow-shiners-i-first-got-avatar-and.html

"I first got an avatar, and found rich, 'flow' (Csikszentmihalyi 199.) experiences with these new information technologies, in the autumn of 2006 when participating in a Harvard University course, “CyberOne: Law in the Court of Public Opinion,” on its virtual island in Second Life. Besides the excitement of interacting, representationally, with people from all over the world on virtual places in Second Life - with cartoon-esque avatars representing you which you can shape and dress any way you like, and where you can build anything imaginable - it was during this course's office hours in group chat (Figure with dialogue example) that I experienced new possibilities for the exchange of ideas among people..."

And regarding studying enjoyment in learning as "flow" please see again Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 ... (and regarding WUaS developing a realistic virtual earth and this article, WUaS is also seeking to develop a Realistic Virtual Harbin Hot springs and for the study of bliss even ... and regarding college-age students' questions such as these https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/waters-in-greece-ed-texts-am-i-real.html ... in daily blog).


And brainstorming, how to further these ways of students' talking, sharing ideas, developing a co-conversation in a classroom or office hours - and with now Agentic AI - as a form of student learning and giving students' agency in group learning conversations (re Conference Method at Reed College too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Humanities and search on 'Conference Method" and see too - https://www.reed.edu/humanities/hum110/syllabus/2012-13/fall.html ? And how to develop this WUaS Hum 101 course with Agentic AI too, and in all 200. countries main languages, and building on Reed's required first year Hum 110 course - https://www.reed.edu/humanities/hum110/syllabus/2012-13/fall.html? Also, regarding this wiki subject at free World University and School -  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Assessment_and_Grading_at_WUaS_as_Part_of_Conversation_in_Learning  - how could Agentic AI further help? (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects)

(WUaS has been in WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki since the mid-2010s, and with its backend structured knowledge database of Wikidata, and with its Wikibase too, all part of Wikimedia Deutschland, based in Berlin, with Lydia Pintscher as project manager/ lead).

Also, in developing the wiki side of World University and School, how might WUaS use agentic AI to help prospective students or wiki Universitians register or create Profiles (and see PPPS below) -  and thus become part of the WUaS community, and from which groups, and re their registering, WUaS might also even begin to hire, and as WUaS seeks to code for speakers of all 7,159 known living languages, and in each of all ~200 countries (per the Olympics), and from there to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet each a Wikidata PIN # from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University (for a variety of educational reasons)?

Thanks so so much, best regards, more later,

Agenda item 14

Dear Rifai (at Freedom College) in Sri Lanka,

Great to hear from you. And thanks for the 2 mini courses now.  Am still learning about WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki myself, but after you began to create this "The Information Technology Revolution – History and Geography" in Miraheze MediaWiki, I was asked in a dialogue box at the top a WUaS wiki page I went to (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) to approve the new course you created this morning here in the greater SF Bay Area, and after doing so, I found the new "The Information Technology Revolution" WUaS mini course you created here  - 


To develop this course further on the main Courses' wiki page, I went to the main https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Courses page, and then created open and closed double brackets [[The Information Technology Revolution – History and Geography]] on the main 'Courses' wiki subject page with the course titile in it - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Courses#Select_Courses - in the "Select Courses" section, by clicking edit this page, and then saving it adding a brief summary in the Summary field, this gave me a red link to click on to start a new course page, and voila - 



Thanks so much, and more about http://freedomuniversity.eu.org/IntroPython.html?i=1 later too.

Chase bank branch, Shadyside community in Pgh PA, M 12/11/23 ~ continuing 


Dear CEO Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase bank & credit card + (with operations in about 100 countries out of 200 per the Olympics), US Senator and former Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren, All, 

Greetings from best STEAM Creative Commons' licensed OpenCourseWare wiki World University and School, and the WUaS Corporation, and unprogrammed Quaker NtF Friendly Scott GK MacLeod. How are the US federal investigations going into Chase banks in the US and abolishing or knocking back international organized crime significantly, which I've emailed you about a number of times since December 2023? And newly how are the CIA investigations going into  JP Morgan Chase banks operations in the other ~99 countries  JP Morgan Chase bank operates in in these regards? I'm seeking to call specifically newly for CIA investigations (and related US federal agencies, and networked other countries' equivalents of the FBI and CIA) into possible JP Morgan Chase banks' international organized crime operations in those countries, and to abolish international organized crime out of Chase bank credit cards & physical, and virtual banks too, (as well as into other international bank and credit card companies too).

And, as a Friend/Quaker, how might wiki World University and School (in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS), and the WUaS Corporation help you CEO Jamie Dimon knock back abolish international organized crime substantially in your JP Morgan Chase banks in those ~100 companies from the inside / culturally too? As you know World Univ & Sch seeks to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN #, from here at You at World University - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and to distribute Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - to most or many of 7.9 billion people, and to end poverty worldwide in the process. How could this potentially help to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft eetc industries internationally, and their latent networks of violence, and as I seek to stay alive (re that murder word mentioned to me in Chase bank Shadyside in March of 2024)? How specifically is the US federal investigation / FBI investigation going into Chase bank Wilkinsburg Pgh and  Chase bank Shadyside and Chase bank letter generator nearby in Ohio - and in cahoots with trader joe's also on Penn Avenue Pgh PA, where I first learned very very curiously that my Chase credit card which I had for decades, was closed on 2/28/24 (like  Chase bank Wilkinsburg Pgh), and the Target store also on Penn Avenue Pgh PA,  for example ? 

(I am also continuing to seek a US federal investigation into Quaker Meetings in the US and a CIA investigation into Quaker Meetings in other countries in growing a WUaS worldwide abolition movement to protect people - especially when such international organized crime networks might involve military personnel from other countries (the female, soldier? officer even?, 'dalat' or dalit, a renter in the 2010s from the American Friends Service Committee upstairs from the 9th Street SF quaker meeting, and from a very small country in the middle east), for example, and re protecting kids especially).

I just received this Chase email below - Here's your latest Credit Summary - and it leads me to wonder how Chase bank international organized crime out of this Chase email address regarding the Chase bank violence gangs? (or Chase bank death squads even? ... affiliated with Chase bank affiliate's TAP, The Acceleration Project eg re Scarsdale NY's and originally from Ireland, Doreen Hendley's networks, and Curated Coaching even??) who might be sending these Chase credit score emails from Chase bank to me sporadically (and my Chase bank credit card is still not reinstated), if I were to log into my closed Chase credit card account, could use the GPS to seek to murder me for example, and as I and WUaS grow a worldwide abolition movement. 

Abolitionally, staying alive, Friendly NtF NtQ Quaker greetings, Appreciating the Friends' Peace Testimony, as well as Quaker SPICES, Yogically, Minding the Light, thanks, 
Scott Gordon K MacLeod

Thanks to Byron or from Byron possibly M 11/3/25 - and in response to Weekly Business Meeting ... a previous one where I ask about this ?
An opportunity for the WUaS Educational Services' Stores to make WUaS lego Robotics Spike Prime robotics kits available to public libraries in CA in all 58 counties AND an opportunity for WUaS as a book wholesaler even - re Acquisition even?

County Librarian's Message for
November 2025

Haga clic aquí para leer este mensaje en español

Baker & Taylor, one of the nation's largest and longest-serving book and media wholesalers for libraries, recently announced the unexpected closure of its business. I want to share what this means for the Library and assure you that our team is already working to minimize any disruption to your service.

B&T has served the library community for nearly 200 years, and we are just one of many libraries nationwide that have relied on them for decades. The abruptness of this closure presents a significant challenge across the industry.

Fortunately, we have begun diversifying our wholesale vendors over the past year and are well-positioned to resume receiving materials more quickly than many other library systems impacted by this change.




Baker & Taylor closed due to a failed acquisition by ReaderLink and subsequent financial struggles, including a large loan default and a major cyberattack in 2022. After the failed sale, the company was unable to find a way to continue operating, leading to its shutdown by the end of 2025. 
  • Failed acquisition: A deal for ReaderLink to acquire Baker & Taylor fell through in late September 2025. The deal collapsed due to B&T's outstanding debts and liabilities, which ReaderLink was not prepared to take on.
  • Inability to continue operations: After the acquisition failed, Baker & Taylor was unsuccessful in finding another path to continue its business. The company cited a lack of profitability in a low-margin industry as a major factor.
  • Financial issues: Baker & Taylor faced significant financial difficulties, including a major loan default and a large cyberattack in 2022.
  • Operational and market challenges: The company also contended with shifts in library orders, budgetary pressures, and other long-term challenges like a revolving door of owners and private equity involvement
