Dear County Clerk Kristin B. Connelly, all, 

Greetings. Renee Malsom MBA in Contra Costa county health just suggested I contact you (in the PS) - and regarding Ed Smyth MD and John Sargent MD's precipitation, beginning in March of 2022, of my moving forward into a newly safe, vacant, with property deed  670 A Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 where I lived for 13 years, until I called the local police from there in September 2022, and moved into a 'safe house' north of Berkeley, then into asylum on the eastern seaboard, leaving the east coast first on December 10, 2024 and returning to the SF East Bay.

As I wrote earlier to Contra Costa county health beginning on February 19, 2026 -

"...as I continue to develop 1) free CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch and 2) the Academic Press at WUaS in all 7159 living languages, and seek to move forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center into a newly safe, vacant, with deed 670 A Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516, per Ed Smyth MD's (esmythmd@gmail.com - affiliated with KP NorCal) precipitation beginning in March of 2022, and regarding potential heinous criminality out of Canyon 94516. Will explain more in the email I hope to send to you."

And thanks so much for the email information last week, info@cchealth.org, at Contra Costa county health services that I could upload my tax returns via the https://benefitscal.com/ web site, which again, I just did. I'll wait to learn ...

And regarding the first email in this thread beginning 2/19/2026, and the paragraphs in the PS below, and per Ed Smyth MD's (esmythmd@gmail.com - affiliated with KP NorCal) precipitation, beginning in March of 2022, of my moving forward into and getting a newly safe, vacant, with deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon California, 94516 house and property, for a song/ for free, and regarding potential heinous criminality out of this address in Canyon 94516 and out of Canyon 94516 too - international organized crime even? - how best to proceed please to get the deed for this 670 Ridgecrest property from Contra Costa county ?

Thanks very much, abolition-ally, best wishes, 
Scott
Scott Gordon K MacLeod "



How best to proceed in these regards, and in this unusual situation, where a heinous criminal??? tom wylie, my former landlord at 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon, CA 94516 for 13 years, may have just started building on this property in 1969 ... and then becoming involved even in international organized crime out of Canyon CA 94516 - and with state of CA and US federal law working effectively together in new ways? (But I have the questions & queries here, and don't have the legal evidence). Ed Smyth MD above is probably one of the best information sources here, and regarding next steps too.

How best please to obtain and sign the property deed for 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon, CA 94516, if this is what is emerging, and to move forward further there, and fairly soon, please?


Thank you, best regards, 
Scott

Hi, Melissa -

I am not Scott and am not familiar with the request referenced in your note.  I am occasionally ccd on emails from Scott McLeod and am suspecting that, somehow, that’s the source of the confusion.

Konrad Alt





Hi Melissa (Hickok), Contra Costa county clerk and lawyer Kristin Connelly, attorney Konrad Alt, (US senator and former Harvard Law professor Elizabeth Warren), all,

Thanks for your email. When Ed Smyth MD affiliated with Kaiser Permanente sought to precipitate my moving forward into a newly safe, vacant, with property deed, 670 Ridgecrest, Canyon, CA 94516, in March of 2022 (due to heinous criminality of t wylie???), one of the things I've continued to inquire about is whether there is no deed for this property at all, whether heinous criminal??? former landlord, sex offender?, slaver of his daughter and others for sale??? involvement in Canyon 94516 international organized crime (Jono living at the bottom of the property at the end of his life in a trailer ... potentially sex trafficking in kids to sweden in a film with Canyon 94516 connections some decades earlier? + Possibly murder of Asian & Black people through the years???) as a kind of 'dingpin' tactician, tom wylie just started building on this property in around 1969, and never had or was able to get a deed, due to his illegal actions from the start. After calling the local police from 670 A Ridgecrest Road, Canyon, 94516 (in about my 13th year there) in around September 2020 at the suggestion of Cindy and Byron Hann both MD's of Moraga due to illegal thefts, break ins, one in the middle of the night while I was sleeping (with the perpetrator - chester heath? - leaving brown goo on the floor near my jeans on the floor in my bedroom, which I reported the next day to Sheriff D Lynch) and much more (eg my US passport, etc.), then my moving into a 'safe house' north of Berkeley for 2.5 years, and then fleeing for my life from the SF Bay Area in July of 2022 (after a number of death threats, inlduincg one Ed Smyth MD checked out after I called him on Skyine Drive at the corner of Pinehurst, Manzanita and Shephard's Canyon) to the eastern seaboard of the USA for another 2 1/2 years ... am wondering how best to proceed with your email if no deed exists ... Could attorney Konrad Alt help in some way by any chance?

Glad I sought US federal protection for my mother, brother, both on the eastern seaboard, and myself in many of these regards. And glad also to have sought a US federal investigation into Canyon 94516, and potentially international organized crime in the SF Bay Area too. 

If no deed exists, and hasn't since 1969, how might it be possible to create one now in 2026 ... and as I and free World Univ & Sch building on MIT OCW in 7 languages, and Wikipedia in ~342 languages grow further a worldwide abolition movement to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft, military targeting etc industries internationally, and their latent networks of violence, and as WUaS seeks to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - each a Wikidata Pin #, and to facilitate free universal education, adn to end poverty with something like Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily - https://minepi.com/ - distributed to say the poorest billion people on the planet.

I postulate also that Ed Smyth MD and John Sargent MD sought to precipitate my moving further into a  newly safe vacant with property deed -
670 Ridgecrest, Canyon, CA 94516 
- to unseat or displace heinous criminal??? tom wyile, who may have just gotten away with atrocities since 1969, regarding the law, and partly because there may have been no deed to the property making legal action against him nigh on impossible as long as he was living there. Ed Smyth MD?

How best to proceed further, and in what ways could attorney Konrad Alt be of help here by any chance? 

Thanks, abolitionally, staying alive (eg from international organized crime in the SF east bay), best wishes, 
Scott Gordon K MacLeod

Dear Contra Costa county Recorder/Clerk and lawyer Kristin Connelly, Melissa (Hickok), Contra Costa county clerk and lawyer Kristin Connelly, attorney Konrad Alt, (US senator and former Harvard Law professor Elizabeth Warren), Info, all,

Greetings. Thank you again for laying out some of the legal steps for me to potentially move forward into a newly safe, vacant, with the property deed 670 Ridgecrest, Canyon, CA 94516. And thanks Konrad Alt for your email to us all in this matter, and I went into the Contra Costa county tax office in Martinez yesterday morning Tu 3/10/226.

Having gone into the Contra Costa county tax office in Martinez yesterday morning Tu 3/10/226 around 10 am per your suggestions, and inquired about who the owner of 670 Ridgecrest, Canyon, CA 94516 is, how best, thanks to Ed Smyth MD and John Sargent MDs' precipitation, beginning in March of 2022 to proceed to move further forward into a newly safe, vacant, with property deed 670 Ridgecrest, Canyon, CA 94516?  I just received from Liberty Mutual Geico another notification that I would be paying a homeowner's insurance divider payment on March 15, 2026, and have been paying this regularly since I after I got an estimate for Liberty Mutual Geico homeowner's insurance divider payments for the 670 Ridgecrest, Canyon, CA 94516 property in December 2023, I think, while in asylum from the SF Bay Area on the eastern seaboard of the USA. 

Regarding (and see the 3 text messages from Tu 3/10/26 below to my mother Jane MacLeod in Pittsburgh PA, Sid Mazumdar HHS in Baltimore MD, Ed Smyth MD in Berkeley, CA for further background, context and history) - 

"As I drove back from the Contra Costa county Tax Assessors' office (I had called the Concord police back at the local number, not 911  and told them I found my keys, and an officer had to call me back - who just did ...and case closed ) ... and having texted you before this visit about my losing my Sienna keys, and that having found them, I could now go into my A5 storage unit in Rheem Valley ... I passed A5 storage and was going to turn in there to go to my storage unit ... but curiously and I think for the first time, an old US postal truck was parked in front of the office - and I'm continuing to seek a US federal investigation into organized crime in the US postal service ... both in Pittsburgh and in the SF East Bay as you may have been reading ... And how is this US federal investigation going into the SF East Bay, the US Postal Service +, I wonder ... and as I seek to stay alive from international organized crime ... So could a US federal postal service employee have read my earlier text today to you that I found my keys ... and positioned a USPS truck at the A5 Storage unit? I drove instead to check my mail at the Canyon 94516 USPO, (having gotten a paper mail bank statement there last night, with the new outside door key, after coming back from the Stanford Taiwan Information round table ) ... And how is this US federal investigation going into Canyon 94516 as well ... and with Contra Costa county's municipal offices, including with Contra Costa county Clerk/Recorder and lawyer Kristin Connelly, having emailed them about my concerns about international organized crime and staying (but not yet about my concerns about the US postal service especially re the Rheem Valley & Canyon 94516 USPOs, but not re Tomora) in the SF East Bay too ... My name was not on the deed when I asked at the Tax Assessors' office, rather my former landlord's was (re falsified documents???? Or regarding legal process in your Ed and John Sargent MD's precipitating my moving further fully into a newly safe, vacant, with deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516?) Thoughts, questions, suggestions? Fondly, abolition, warmly, Friendly NtF Quaker regards, Scott (May add this text message here too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/memecylon-grande.html Hugs, Scott)"

How is Contra Costa county doing in seeking to stop US federal Postal Service crime and with its US federal GPS Mapping Tracking IT, AI, ML (and even potentially interoperating with tesla's as a private international corporation) & connected with organized crime and regarding Canyon 94516 and its USPO, and the Rheem Valley USPO and others in the SF Bay Area - and as I seek to stay alive? (See texts below for further background, context and history). 


Again from my Thursday March 5, 2025 to you - 

"How best to proceed in these regards, and in this unusual situation, where a heinous criminal??? tom wylie, my former landlord at 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon, CA 94516 for 13 years, may have just started building on this property in 1969 ... and then becoming involved even in international organized crime out of Canyon CA 94516 - and with state of CA and US federal law working effectively together in new ways? (But I have the questions & queries here, and don't have the legal evidence). Ed Smyth MD above is probably one of the best information sources here, and regarding next steps too.

How best please to obtain and sign the property deed for 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon, CA 94516, if this is what is emerging, and to move forward further there, and fairly soon, please??


And might I even be able to move in further fully to 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516 after this visit to the Contra Costa county tax assessors' office by the end of this week? (I'm asking myself). Please advise.

Thanks, abolition, staying alive, best regards,

Tuesday, March 10, 2026


Hi Ed, Ma, Pin, (AI readers, all),  How are you this Tuesday? Drove out toward the Contra Costa county offices, and almost there at a little after 9am, I found a nearby park - Diablo View I think it's called ... (I had a view of Mt. Diablo which Native people called Mt Tuyshtak from 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 for 13 years) ... Good to walk up the hill into this park ... Am heading into the county offices soon to inquire about the property deed to 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516, re Public Record, or what ... "The indices held by the Clerk-Recorder are filed by owner name, and not by address or parcel number. To find the legal owner of a property, you will need to reach out to the Tax Assessor’s Office. (Assessor | Contra Costa County, CA Official Website)

Documents recorded in the County (property deeds) are not included under the umbrella of Public Records Act requests" ... Will let you know what happens ... Also, I found the 2nd set of keys in my knapsack, after   looking a 2nd time, and following down the Toyota First Aid kit which I had put into my knapsack too ... logic-wise ... and under which I usually keep this 2nd set of keys (while living in this minivan pretty much... since 3/4/2025 ) ..Glad to have found them ... can get now into the storage unit with these keys + ... Participated in a great Stanford Taiwan panel yesterday from 2-5pm in the Hoover Institute in a great double-round-table room, and with relevance for growing Taiwan WUaS, and China WUaS, and re The Fimi Challenge: Countering Foreign Information Manipulation And Interference In Taiwan And The United States

Got caught up on sleep a bit sleeping in a minivan in the greenwood of East Bay MUD too ... after losing an hour with Daylight Savings time .. You? Thoughts? Fondly, abolitionally, warmly, Friendly Quaker NtF regards and Yogically, Scott (Following up further too on a book group featuring my 4th book "To the Dance of the Pools? ~ Virtually!)" with the organizers based in Lisbon, Portugal, with both this correspondence and the 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 property deed correspondence here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/memecylon-grande.html )


AND 

Hi Pin, Ma, Ed, How are you further this Tuesday? I called the Concord police back at the local number, not 911  and told them I found my keys, and an officer had to call me back - who just did ...and case closed ... As I drove back from the Contra Costa county Tax Assessors' office ... and having texted you before this visit about my losing my keys, and that having found them, I could now go into A5 storage in Rheem Valley ... I passed A5 storage and was going to turn in there to go to my storage unit ... but curiously and I think for the first time, an old US postal truck was parked in front of the office - and I'm continuing to seek a US federal investigation into organized crime in the US postal service ... both in Pittsburgh and in the SF East Bay as you may have been reading ... And how is this US federal investigation going into the SF East Bay, the US Postal Service +, I wonder ... and as I seek to stay alive from international organized crime ... So could a US federal postal service employee have read my earlier text today to you that I found my keys ... and positioned a USPS truck at the A5 Storage unit? I drove instead to check my mail at the Canyon 94516 USPO, (having gotten a paper mail bank statement there last night, with the new outside door key, after coming back from the Stanford Taiwan Information round table ) ... And how is this US federal investigation going into Canyon 94516 as well ... and with Contra Costa county's municipal offices, including with Contra Costa county Clerk/Recorder and lawyer Kristin Connelly, having emailed them about my concerns about international organized crime and staying (but not yet about my concerns about the US postal service especially re the Rheem Valley & Canyon 94516 USPOs, but not re Tomora) in the SF East Bay too ... My name was not on the deed when I asked at the Tax Assessors' office, rather my former landlord's was (re falsified documents???? Or regarding legal process in your Ed and John Sargent MD's precipitating my moving further fully into a newly safe, vacant, with deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516?) Thoughts, questions, suggestions? Fondly, abolition, warmly, Friendly NtF Quaker regards, Scott (May add this text message here too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/memecylon-grande.html Hugs, Scott)




AND 

Hi Ma, Pin, Ed,  (AI readers), How are you further this Tuesday March 10, 2026? Thinking further growing a WUaS abolition movement worldwide, knocking back both organized crime, with the state of California working effectively together with the US federal government in new ways, and legal process regarding both the Contra Costa county, and my checking checking on the owner  of 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 this morning at the Contra Costa county Tax Assessors' office, and learning the name written there was my previous landlords ... and regarding staying alive from US and international organized crime for example (eg re the murderous run through attempt of me sadly in Pittsburgh PA in first asylum house in April 2023 by craven psychopath Lebanese (where he was born) or French-Swiss soldier??? (having studied at EPFL - FEDERAL Polytechnical Institute of Lausanne - in Lausanne Switzerland before coming to the USA)?? cmu undergraduate at the time frederic khayat receiving Social Security Administration checks ?) ... possibly the Mapping and intercept GPS software on both US Postal Service old trucks (employees smartphones?) AND on alset cars (in reverse) ... COULD these IT mapping systems both be operated currently by the same organization - alset for example??? - as the US federal government seeks to separate its US federal law enforcement mapping systems in terms of computer scientists and coders and admin operators - from private companies which might be involved even in international organized crime ... and seeking to implement even an illegal sex, drugs and violence industry internationally and from the US federal government's perspective and in other countries too ... eg with alset for example?? being in many countries ? ... thoughts, questions, suggestions? I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow to follow up on communicating with Contra Costa county Recorder / Clerk Kristin Connelly ... and for my request to learn the owner, with myself on Contra Costa county's surveillance video cameras, probably to work through the system ... Glad I called the local Moraga Lafayette police in September 2020 at Cindy and Byron Hann MDs suggestion re illegal break-ins and thefts, and also this Sunday re my 2nd set of Toyota Sienna keys ... and re seeking US federal protection for myself, you Ma, Sandy, and you Ed and your family (some months ago if you recall) ... and which would probably involve local police too (re even questions of corruption there) ... and AI and IT law enforcement systems all interacting ... What if the US federal investigation into a heinous criminal??? tom wylie and Canyon 94516 has led to legal charges ... and if he's on the way out of Canyon 94516 (and did I see his car this morning near the Valle Vista Staging Area for the first time in a month or more??? ... as he and his network might have learned that the name on the deed of 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 was his network of organized criminals in the SF east bay (and were somehow relieved even ... and was that email from Info at contra costa county services ... one of the 'trolls' in an organized crime network possibly? Ed, Pin? )??? ... and such that even then ... thanks to your precipitation, ED ... I might be able to move into a newly safe vacant with deed  670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516, with US federal and state of CA law working in new ways effectively, and with my name and the 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 place on so many legal documents?) ... Thoughts about next steps with Contra Costa county, - and the US government too even? Staying alive, warmly, abolition with the law, fondly, Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/memecylon-grande.html

Dear County Clerk Kristin B. Connelly, all, 

Greetings. Renee Malsom MBA in Contra Costa county health just suggested I contact you (in the PS) - and regarding Ed Smyth MD and John Sargent MD's precipitation, beginning in March of 2022, of my moving forward into a newly safe, vacant, with property deed  670 A Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 where I lived for 13 years, until I called the local police from there in September 2022, and moved into a 'safe house' north of Berkeley, then into asylum on the eastern seaboard, leaving the east coast first on December 10, 2024 and returning to the SF East Bay.

As I wrote earlier to Contra Costa county health beginning on February 19, 2026 -

"...as I continue to develop 1) free CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch and 2) the Academic Press at WUaS in all 7159 living languages, and seek to move forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center into a newly safe, vacant, with deed 670 A Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516, per Ed Smyth MD's (esmythmd@gmail.com - affiliated with KP NorCal) precipitation beginning in March of 2022, and regarding potential heinous criminality out of Canyon 94516. Will explain more in the email I hope to send to you."

And thanks so much for the email information last week, info@cchealth.org, at Contra Costa county health services that I could upload my tax returns via the https://benefitscal.com/ web site, which again, I just did. I'll wait to learn ...

And regarding the first email in this thread beginning 2/19/2026, and the paragraphs in the PS below, and per Ed Smyth MD's (esmythmd@gmail.com - affiliated with KP NorCal) precipitation, beginning in March of 2022, of my moving forward into and getting a newly safe, vacant, with deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon Califonira, 94516 house and property, for a song/ for free, and regarding potential heinous criminality out of this address in Canyon 94516 and out of Canyon 94516 too - international organized crime even? - how best to proceed please to get the deed for this 670 Ridgecrest property from Contra Costa county ?

Thanks very much, abolitionally, best wishes,

How best to proceed in these regards, and in this unusual situation, where a heinous criminal??? tom wylie, my former landlord at 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon, CA 94516 for 13 years, may have just started building on this property in 1969 ... and then becoming involved even in international organized crime out of Canyon CA 94516 - and with state of CA and US federal law working effectively together in new ways?

"RE: Property deed for 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon CA 94516 in Contra Costa county questions Receipt Notification and Response 2026-014 ".


2
And thanks, Ed, for precipitating my moving forward into a newly safe, vacant, with property deed 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516, beginning in March of 2022. And great to meet you Grant (Fine, attorney in Berkeley and Oakland, and with you wearing a Boston Celitcs' basketball team shirt walking down Russell Street in Berkeley yesterday - and to learn also that you were in the same Harvard Law class as Barack Obama, and US Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch, and that we're both students of Harvard Law Emeritus Professor Charlie Nesson, above, you in his Evidence course, and me in his "CyberOne: Law in the Court of Public Opinion" course on Harvard's virtual island in the group buildable 3D world of Second Life, and in "JuryX: Deliberations for Social Change" on the edX platform). With 2 further death threats on Sunday coming up in my TwitterX feeds (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/abutilon-pictum-professor-matsudaira.html) - regarding alset tesla ksum musk ownership & culture??? too - and in what ways might thee organizations be involved in international organized crime - and with this Contra Costa county property deed for 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516 issue (and I left asylum from the eastern seaboard first on 12/10/24 to return to the SF Bay Area again because in my analysis I thought it had become safer), fascinating to learn that you, Grant, do investigations of all kinds, (and also that you're from Brookline MA ... where my family has some family friends since the early 1960s, one of whom is a retired Harvard Medical Professor of Ophthalmology).


2 A
Regarding Contra Costa County Clerk / Recorder Kristin B. Connelly's assistant Melissa Hickok's email to me suggesting seeking a legal advisor in PS and with my reply to her and Konrad above and all, how best to proceed with my moving forward into 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon, CA 94516 with property deed?  (Kristin.Connelly@vote.cccounty.us)



blockchain ledger for real estate both in CA and the US federal government (and for the provenance /history of any given property)? How might this for 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516 be playing out in the state of California (and in the M 3/16/26 WUaS Weekly Business Meeting, I ask Gemini AI about how these blockchain ledgers are emerging, and see Agenda item B https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2026/03/shiprock-new-mexico-m-31626-32326-open.html)

3 A
And I've blogged a number of times about the blockchain ledger and with a Vermont house example (say which was bought and sold 10 times since 1910 and each time, information was added to the immutable blockchain ledger, which blockchain ledger itself then becomes potentially valuable eg to museums or insurance companies) - 



where an insurance company could seek to obtain a blockchain ledger for the value of the provenance information it contains each time the house was sold and bought.


So, how might 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 be (being) added to the state of California's real estate blockchain ledger, or to Contra Costa county's or the US federal governments?



4
Texted a version of this to Byron Hann MD PhD and to my mother Jane MacLeod, Pin/Sid Mazumdar HHS, and to Ed Smyth MD - 
Great to see you and Cindy on Sunday 3/15/26 Byron! With  property deed questions for my ownership of 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 now at Contra Costa county, and the CC county tax assessors' office too, and re seeking legal advisor or similar, I think I'd choose to zone the property agriculturally in California ... And regarding a "The One Straw Revolution"  approach =

The One-Straw Revolution: An Introduction to Natural Farming - https://share.google/8pdkTkip07LWqQFt4 

The four principles of natural farming are that:[21]

  • human cultivation of soil, plowing or tilling are unnecessary, as is the use of powered machines
  • prepared fertilizers are unnecessary, as is the process of preparing compost
  • weeding, either by cultivation or by herbicides, is unnecessary; instead, only minimal weed suppression with minimal disturbance should be used
  • applications of pesticides or herbicides are unnecessary

... And I think I'd like to begin with chickens and fruit trees ... And eventually with the 10 or so species I'd like to experiment with in doubling lifespan even with a physical-digital Realistic Virtual Earth & a #WUaSHospitalMultimediaRoom too ... THOUGHTS, questions, suggestions? Warm regards, Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Canyon)


How best to proceed with my moving forward into 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon, CA 94516 with property deed?  (Kristin.Connelly@vote.cccounty.us) And who might be the best attorney / legal advisor to do this, I wonder? Konrad, Grant, Nick, Roland, Robin, a law professor at Harvard Law licensed to practice law in CA (per Elizabeth Warren's email - warren@law.harvard.edu), or?

Best regards, abolition-ally, (staying alive, eg from international organized crime in cahoots with uniformed armed services, both US and foreign), thanks, Friendly NtF Quaker & Unitarian U salutations, Yogically,

Feature your book with the Life Long Learners Book Club 


Hello Author

My name is Emmanuel, and I’m the organizer of the Life Long Learners Book Club based in Lisbon, a thoughtful community where readers come together to explore stories that inspire reflection, discussion, and meaningful dialogue.

We’re currently preparing our next book club feature, and we’d love to highlight a book from your collection. Our members are engaged, thoughtful readers who provide honest feedback and share their reflections widely across platforms such as Goodreads and Wattpad. Featured books typically gain increased visibility, reader reviews, and organic word-of-mouth promotion without requiring any live appearances, interviews, or promotional obligations from the author.

I wanted to reach out to see if you’d like to select one of the works that you feel would resonate most with our community for this upcoming feature. Which of your books do you feel would be the best fit for our readers’ discussion and reflection?

Would you be open to having your preferred book featured in our upcoming book raft event??
Looking forward to your thoughts.

Best regards, 
Emmanuel P.
Organizer of the Life Long Learners Book Club 





Dear Emmanuel P, 
Lisbon, Portugal, 

Thanks for your inquiry. The Academic Press at World University and School has published 5 books thus far, all in English (and see below), and I'm the author of all of them. And the WUaS Press is planning to develop in all living languages, with human and machine translation, with AI and ML, and at free Portugal World University and School (from here with time - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States), planned in Portuguese - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Portuguese_language (from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages), for free online WUaS degrees from home, and building on MIT OCW eg in Portuguese - https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/portuguese/ (from https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/ & re Creative Commons' 4 licensed https://ocw.mit.edu/). If I were to share with you a digital copy of "Naked Harbin Ethnography" ...

Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin

 (Academic Press at World University and School 2016 - ISBN-13 978-0-692-64613-7)

http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html 

... in what ways do you think your book group community of lifelong learners might explore translating it (with machine translation too) into Portuguese and for publication in Portugal and Brazil etc? And in what ways might your book group be interested in growing a major online Portugal World University and School, planned in Portuguese?

I'll include you in upcoming World Univ & Sch / WUaS Press upcoming emails as well.

Best regards, 
Scott

Dear Scott,


Thank you for your thoughtful message and for sharing more about the work you are developing through the World University and School Press. Your vision of expanding learning and translation across languages is certainly interesting.

For our book club sessions, our focus is primarily on reader-led exploration of individual books rather than on institutional or publishing initiatives. What typically happens is that members read the selected book over a short window and then share reflections, questions, and interpretations in discussion.

Naked Harbin Ethnography sounds like a title that could generate thoughtful conversation among readers interested in culture, counterculture, and social observation. If you’re open to it, you’re welcome to share a digital copy so we can review it and see whether it would be a good fit for one of our upcoming reader sessions.

If it aligns well, I can also send you a brief overview of how the feature process works for authors.

Kind regards,
Emmanuel
Organizer, Life Long Learners Book Club





Dear Emmanuel in Lisbon, Portugal,
,
Thanks for your email further. How can an author or publisher protect copyright in such situations as book groups, and in sharing a PDF of a digital book for example? 

I recently added the books I've written and more, with descriptions, to this my Linkedin profile - https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottgkmacleod/. What's your Linkedin profile or similar if you'd care to share it?

With copyright in mind, and a 2nd Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book project planned as my 7th book and potentially in Google Street View with time slider, #TextInTheSidebar (becoming a press too to print to 1) paper and 2) to new digital hardware formats like digital masks and even #WUaSMultimediaRooms and #WUaSHospitalMultimediaRooms), I considering sharing with your book group my shorter & more recent book of poetry - 


"To the Dance or the Pools ~ Virtually?:

How Different it is to Soak at Harbin, than to Realize it in Virtual Reality"

 
(Poetry Press at World University and School 2019 - ISBN-13: 978-0578625492)
http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html

How does that sound? And looking forward to staying in communication - with your book group members too - about free Portugal World University and School (from here with time - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States), planned in Portuguese - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Portuguese_language (from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages), for free online WUaS degrees from home, and building on MIT OCW eg in Portuguese - https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/portuguese/ (from https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/ & re Creative Commons' 4 licensed https://ocw.mit.edu/), and with the WUaS Press planned in all 7159 living languages. With your Life Long Learners Book Club based in Lisbon, how many people speak no or very little English? And are you all living in Lisbon or Portugal, and do you meet online or in someone's house, and is there an online component if the latter, and if people live in other countries than Portugal?

Kind regards, 
Scott

Dear Scott,


Regarding copyright, authors retain full rights to their material. When a digital copy is shared for consideration or a reader session, it is used only within our small reading group for the purpose of discussion. We do not reproduce, distribute publicly, or publish the material elsewhere. Many authors simply provide a PDF or digital reader copy specifically for the session.

Your poetry book To the Dance or the Pools Virtually? sounds interesting, and poetry can often lead to very reflective discussion among readers. I’d be glad to take a look and see how it might fit an upcoming session.

To answer your questions about the club: our discussions are primarily online, and our members participate from different locations, though a large portion are based in the United States. Because the format is virtual, readers from other countries can join as well.

If you’re comfortable, you’re welcome to share the digital copy of the poetry title and a short author bio. Once I’ve had a chance to review it, I can send you a brief overview of how the feature process works.

Kind regards,
Emmanuel
Organizer, Life Long Learners Book Club





Dear Emmanuel, 
Lisbon, Portugal,

Thanks for your interest in reading my "To the Dance or the Pools?" book of poetry, and potentially in your Life Long Learners Book Club. I've attached a readers' copy of 

"To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual Reality"  

filename - '
To the Dance or the Pools Virtually book by Scott GK MacLeod 2019.pdf' 

for your book clubs' enjoyment.

Could I ask please each of all of the readers of your Life Long Learners Book Club to write a blurb about it for the Poetry Press at World University and School and on its distributor and printer page here, or similar - https://www.amazon.com/Dance-Pools-Virtually-different-Springs/dp/0578625490  - and to increase sales, and to grow the Poetry Press at World University and School as a press? And let's stay in touch about Portugal World University and School, and even translating the WUaS Press into Portuguese with time (and re the PS again too). 

Looking forward to an ongoing conversation about Harbin-inspired online books, such as my Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book project #2 to be grown in Google Street View with a time slider, and printed to both 1) paper, #TextInTheSidebar, and 2) to new digital hardware formats, potentnially inventing the book anew, - and MIT OCW-centric World University and School's Press as we grow.

Thanks, and kind regards, 
Scott

Dear Scott,

Thank you for sharing the reader copy of To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! I appreciate you sending it across, and I look forward to reviewing it.

Our sessions are reader-led, so members read the selected work and share their reflections and impressions through discussion and optional written comments. While many readers enjoy sharing thoughts about a book, their feedback is always voluntary and written in their own words.

Once I’ve had a chance to look through the book, I’ll follow up about whether it would be a good fit for one of our upcoming reader sessions and share a brief overview of how the process works.

Thank you again for sending the poetry collection. I’m glad to stay in touch and continue the conversation.

Kind regards,
Emmanuel

Hi Scott,

I spent some time going through several of the poems and I really enjoyed the atmosphere you create around Harbin and the reflections on nature, community, and that search for “loving bliss” through music, water, and shared experience. It gives the reader a very vivid sense of place.

I believe this kind of reflective poetry would resonate well with our group, especially readers who enjoy thoughtful works that blend observation, philosophy, and personal experience.

I’d be glad to include To the Dance or the Pools? Virtually? in one of our upcoming reader sessions so members can explore it and share their impressions.

Would you be open to having this title featured with our group in an upcoming session?

Warm regards, 








Sunday, March 8, 2026 


Hi Emmanuel, 

Thanks for your looking through 'To the Dance or the Pools? Virtually?' ... Eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology when and as we might want to ... is a theme in a number of my books of poetry, as well as in my first ethnographic book "Naked Harbin Ethnography." (There's also a "Loving_Bliss_(eliciting_this_neurophysiology)' wiki school or wiki subject at World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Loving_Bliss_(eliciting_this_neurophysiology) accessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - and on the 'creative' side of these wiki subjects or schools, re the more academic wiki subjects too).

And thanks too for your 
"I really enjoyed the atmosphere you create around Harbin and the reflections on nature, community, and that search for “loving bliss” through music, water, and shared experience. It gives the reader a very vivid sense of place."

The watery 'place' of the warm pool at Harbin hot springs, informing Harbin's 'culture' via a kind of creating a de facto meditation re relaxation response as Harbin emerges out of the 1960s and 1970s in its current form as counterculture ... is a key interpretation or thesis in "Naked Harbin Ethnography" ... 

That would be great.

Regards, best wishes, thanks, 
Scott
And here's the loving bliss label in my daily blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/loving%20bliss ...

and the 'place' label - 

and the 'virtual Harbin' label -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20Harbin (a focus of my upcoming 7th book, and 2nd Harbin hot Springs' ethnography - and see too Google AI director's Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article, mentioning virtual Harbin and even studying bliss - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 :)

Hi Scott,

Thank you for sharing more context around the idea of “loving bliss” and how it connects to your work on Harbin and the broader ethnographic thinking behind it. I can see how that theme runs through the poetry and the reflections on place, community, and the experience of the warm pools.

The concept of Harbin as a space where relaxation, reflection, and countercultural community meet is quite interesting, and I believe our readers would enjoy exploring that perspective.

I’d be glad to include To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually? in one of our upcoming reader sessions so members can experience the poems and share their thoughts and impressions.

If you’re open to it, we can begin preparing the feature overview for the group so readers have a short introduction before the session.

Warm regards,
Emmanuel

Dear Emmanuel, (in Lisbon, Portugal),

Thanks again for your email. Yes it would be great if you could feature my 4th book "To the Dance of the Pools? ~ Virtually!" in your Life Long Learners Book Club. I'd be honored.  In a way "To the Dance of the Pools? ~ Virtually!" is another prelude in poetry to developing a realistic virtual Harbin hot springs, and even with time as information technologies to elicit loving bliss neurophysiology (neural cascades or pleasure) - potentially both the poetry, and the realistic virtual Harbin hot springs (and to study bliss as well) and given Harbin emerging in its current form out of the 1960s and '70s and counter culturally, I suggest in my first ethnographic book "Naked Harbin Ethnography". (Are we going to be able to scroll back with the Time Slider in Google Street View at virtual Harbin Hot Springs ~ https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ to say 2007, 2012, and 2024 ... and even elicit bliss neurophysiology differently in an emerging #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory, a #RealisticVirtualEarthForAnthropology, and a #RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM, and #ForBrainScience? ... #Hashtags on #TwitterX and sometimes on #LinkedIN ).

Two bios of mine are here in the top right corner - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/poetry - and here - http://scottmacleod.com/ And search on
'Bio:' ... and I'll seek to write a poetry book's Bio per your request. What else might be involved in writing the "feature overview for the group so readers have a short introduction before the session"? And what would you like to see in a bio featuring this book ?

Thanks, 
Scott







Dear Emmanuel P (in Lisbon Portugal), Kimba Kradel (in Berkeley California, and writing a science fiction novel I think working on her 3rd draft, an acquaintance I know from a Berkeley public library), Ed (Smyth MD, on the Board of World Univ & Sch building on MIT OCW in 7  languages, in a sense, and the WUaS Press too, in Berkeley), Sid/Pin (Mazumdar HHS, in the US federal government), AI readers, All, 

Thanks again for your email invitation to feature my 4th book "To the Dance of the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How Different it is to Soak at Harbin than to Realize it in Virtual Reality" in your Life Long Learners Book Club

Could I please see, for example,  a list of the books your Life Long Learners Book Club book group, of which you're the organizer from Portugal, for example, has read so far ... I'd like this WUaS Press book to be in good company with other good books?

Your book club is a little mysterious, and with very little online presence that I could find (eg a possible MeetUp group - https://www.meetup.com/life-long-learners-book-club/ (in Houston TX though) - and I dropped out of MeetUp a while ago, and in World Univ & Sch growing a worldwide abolition movement to protect people) although you meet online. And you also didn't share your LinkedIN profile for example, although I requested this. There have been a number of death threats to me in recent years, as I grow both World Univ & Sch and a WUaS worldwide abolition movement, and in seeking to knock back international organized crime, in each of all 200 countries at WUaS, and having sought US federal protection for my mother, brother, and myself, I'd like to learn a little bit more about your "Life Long Learners Book Club" group. 

Looking forward to learning more, I think, and regarding your possibly featuring my 4th book "To the Dance of the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How Different it is to Soak at Harbin than to Realize it in Virtual Reality".

Best wishes, abolitionally, Friendly NtF Quaker greetings, Yogically, thanks, 
Scott

Hi Scott,

Thank you for your thoughtful message. I completely understand wanting to know more about the group.
Our Life Long Learners Book Club is an online reading community where readers explore reflective and discussion-worthy books across areas like literature, social thought, memoir, and philosophy.

Recent features have included titles in personal growth, cultural reflection, and narrative nonfiction that invite meaningful discussion among readers.
From what I’ve seen in To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually?, the themes around place, community, and the idea of “loving bliss” would make for a very interesting session with our readers.

Here is Meetup profile so you can learn a bit more about our The Life Long Learners book club: Click Here
If you’re comfortable proceeding, I’d be glad to begin preparing the feature overview for your book and share the next steps with you.

Warm regards,
Emmanuel







Dear Emmanuel, all, 

Thanks for your helpful message and information, and the MeetUp link for The Life Long Learners book club.  You're welcome to 'begin preparing the feature overview' for my "To the Dance of the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How Different it is to Soak at Harbin than to Realize it in Virtual Reality" book; was just rereading the Title poem (pp. 118-125), with poetry thinking about consciousness philosophically and in the warm pool, and about loving bliss, and Harbin-informed consciousness) - and was somewhat transported in re-visiting this poem, but not yet in the Glasses. 

I initially happened upon this page (p 121) ... and am wondering further how a piece of meat inside our heads - brain meat - can give rise to or inform consciousness as awareness, subjective experience, sentience, feelling, of 'being aware of something internal to one's self' - and Harbin consciousness-wise ~ 

... 

Yet there's more space
in the actual Harbin's warm pool than in this bathtub.

How best to understand consciousness, and this consciousness,
this Harbin consciousness,
this Harbin Heart Consciousness

of HCC - Heart Consciousness Church?

Subjective-Objective accounts,
1st person-3rd person scientific narratives ~ in the warm waters, with the Glasses,
re visually observing,
and beginning to examine neural processing ~ as sentience,
awareness,
perception and
feeling
in the brain, the mind, the BodyMind?

So is this, the Body-Mind problem, moot in the warm pool,
and consciousness all one?
Yet, poetry-wise, we be studying how brains give rise to mind,

re neural processing,
with brainwave headsets ~
thinking about it.
So then, can minds be bodies, and
Is sentience brain-meat or bodyminds? Virtually!

And how is body mind
consciousness - importantly - virtual,
or in what ways can we make this more so - to learn?

Further, are these neurophysiological e-states 


 You'll find this poem here t00 - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/chameleon-vision- poem-to-dance-or-pools.html (in daily blog) .



I like the introductory quote to this poem, the epigraph, from Seamus Heaney ... but this poem, not yet in a realistic virtual Harbin, doesn't yet ...

"Drive them back to the wine-dark taste of home, 
The smell of damsons simmering in a pot,
Jam ladled thick and steaming down the sunlight."


Scott

Hi Scott,


Thank you for sharing your reflections on the poem and the ideas around consciousness and the Harbin warm pool experience. It’s quite an interesting perspective, and I believe readers who enjoy reflective and philosophical poetry will find it engaging.

Since you’re happy for us to begin preparing the feature overview, could you please share a few materials we’ll need to finalize the presentation?

• A short author bio
• A clear author photo
• A high-resolution image of the book cover
• A link to the book’s Amazon page (or where readers can access the book)
Once we receive these, our editorial team will prepare the feature introduction for the upcoming reader session.

Warm regards,
Emmanuel

Hi Scott,


Thank you for sending everything through so clearly. I’ve received the bio, photo, cover, and links — all noted.

Our editorial team has now started preparing the feature presentation and reader introduction for your book. We’ll shape it in a way that highlights the reflective and philosophical tone you’ve described, especially around the Harbin experience and the theme of consciousness.

Once the presentation is ready, I’ll share a preview with you so you can see how the session will be introduced to our readers.
Just so you’re aware as we move forward, there is a one-time support contribution tied to securing the reader session. I’ll walk you through that clearly alongside the preview so you can decide comfortably.

From there, we’ll move into confirming your book’s place in the upcoming session.
I’ll be back with the preview shortly.

Warm regards,
Emmanuel



March 17, 2026

Hi Scott,


Our editorial team just completed the presentation preview for your book. I'll be sharing it here for you to take a look.

This will give you a clear feel of how your work will be introduced to our readers and how the session will be structured.

If everything looks good on your end, we can move forward to secure your feature spot. As mentioned, this involves a one-time support contribution of $100 to finalize placement and reader coordination.

Take your time to review, and let me know your thoughts.
Warm regards,
Emmanuel

Dear Emmanuel in Lisbon Portugal, (AI readers, All), 

Greetings, and thanks for your further emails. I think I missed the 1 time contribution. Thinking through some implications here in what follows.
 
And I can't seem to find many "life long learners book club" examples of 'Feature' books, or 'spotlights' when I search - are there some? - but I did find this video spotlight about my book - 

PRESENTATION AND EVENT SUMMARY VIDEO - To the Dance or the Pools (1).mp4 

As I wrote my mother/Jane, and friends' Sid Mazumdar HHS in Baltimore, MD, and Ed Smyth MD in Berkeley, CA - 

"Hi Ma/Jane, Pin, Ed, received 2 further messages from Emmanuel regarding his book club featuring my 4th book re "As mentioned, this involves a one-time support contribution of $100 to finalize placement and reader coordination." What to do? A surprise, - and perhaps I should have been more cautious from the beginning of our correspondence - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/memecylon-grande.html - but I can also see this as a possible way, an opportunity even, to promote and advertise this book further (something I've never done for all 5 of my books), and even for the WUaS Press ... and possibly to recoup this money through book sales from his book club readers and others  ... And even as a first kind of outreach regarding World Univ & Sch and the Press at WUaS ..."

Emmanuel, what experience do you have with your LLLBC members in terms of buying featured books, such as this book of poetry for US $11.95 I think or similar, (and from the printer and distributor of this WUaS Press book - https://www.amazon.com/Dance-Pools-Virtually-different-Springs/dp/0578625490 )?

And will I be able to create, for example, TwitterX and LinkedIn posts with my book's "Feature' URL when I get it and if it's different from the above 44 seconds' video, and regarding also the TweetsXs for "Naked Harbin Ethnography" below (and see the picture on the MacBook Air laptop here of the Harbin Hot Springs' gate house in Google Street View, and here too ~ https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 ~)? Is the URL above my book's "Feature' URL web page / similar address?)

And I don't see the WUaS Press mentioned in this video yet, which would be very helpful ... and as the Academic Press at free World Univ & Sch seeks to develop our WUaS Press as publisher further and potentially by WUaS publishing this book too in many languages with translation, including and especially into Portuguese potentially, as a first translation by the Press at free World University and School of "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How Different it is to Soak at Harbin than to Realize it in Virtual Reality". And exploring too, brainstorming, adding this WUaS Press poetry book to Google Street View with time slider, text in the sidebar, and for publishing it in a second edition with images, and videos, eg in 2010 when I wrote many of these poems (per blog posts dates in the book at the bottom of each poem).

How many readers would you think are in your well-organized "Life Long Learners Book Club"? And how many are there?

Thanks, warm regards, all the best,
Scott 



PS
And, for example, here's outreach about my first book #NakedHarbinEthnography on TwitterX, and even regarding a new poetry, social science and scientific method and theory I'm developing, called #EthnoWikiVirtualWorldGraphy (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy) - 

1st lines of #NakedHarbinEthnography: "After you check in at the gate at #HarbinHotSprings, a #Harbinresident who has worked there for years often says "#GoPlay" 
http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html ... How to explore in #RealisticVirtualHarbin @HarbinBook for #EthnoWikiVirtualWorldGraphy ?

Hi Scott,


Thank you for your thoughtful message. I understand your questions.
Just to clarify things simply:
Our reader group typically reaches 1,500+ active members, and when a book is featured, readers are given direct access to the book (including the Amazon link) so they can explore, purchase, and leave reviews if they connect with it. Poetry and reflective works like yours tend to attract a focused group of engaged readers.

Yes, you’ll also receive a feature link for your book, which you can freely share on platforms like Twitter/X and LinkedIn to extend your reach further.
Regarding the presentation, we can absolutely include a mention of WUaS Press in the final version before we proceed.
The one-time support contribution simply covers the coordination, reader distribution, and presentation setup required to position the book properly within the session.

If the preview looks good to you with the small adjustments, we can go ahead and finalize your feature spot and begin introducing your book to readers.
Let me know your thoughts.

Warm regards,
Emmanuel

Dear Emmanuel P in Lisbon Portugal, (AI readers, All), 

I'm getting a serious case of caveat emptor (buyer beware, in Latin), so I'm going to say no thank you for now.

Out of the blue, you've asked for $100 ...
and you haven't shared with me or the WUaS Press 
your linkedin profile as requested, 
or a physical address for yourself, or the Life Long Learners' Book Club (eg in Lisbon Portugal, or in Houston TX, and I found the MeetUp link)
the physical address I'd send a paper check too, 
or any other means of payment 

Having sought US federal protection for my mother, my brother and myself in some of these regards too, in growing a World University and School/WUaS Press   worldwide abolition movement, and in seeking to knock back international organized crime and the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft, military targeting industries internationally and their latent networks of violence - no thanks for now.

The Press at World Univ & Sch WUaS is seeking to grow further also with  Friendly Nontheist Friends/ Quaker business practices (informed for example by S.P.I.C.E.S. and Friendly-informed WUaS Weekly Business Meeting).

Abolitionally, staying alive, and keeping World Univ & Sch WUaS growing, Yogically, Friendly Nontheist Friends/ Quaker & Unitarian U greetings, bye for now,
