connection to Quaker ... 


Hi John,

How are you? And how has your summer been? 

I see when searching on 

john sargent md tufts quaker -

"The cross-reference to "Quaker" most likely highlights his connection to Quaker Hill, Connecticut, where he maintains a home studio and roots as an activist, or points to historical and medical family intersections."



And I'm reaching out partly as a Friend ... 


Greetings from near El Corte de Madera Regional park above the Pacific Ocean in a Redwood forest as I loop around the SF Bay to head to the SF public library main branch to try to renew my library card, and then back yo the Canyon 94516 area. Just returned from Cuttyhunk for a few days, where it was good to see my mother and my brother Sandy, baby Isla and family, and be with them. Sandy seems better than previous summers, and I postulate because he's become a caring father in part, and due to the women in his life like partner and my mother - and possibly your thinking??

World University and School, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages, is growing with some possible MIT Alumni Startup NorCal Co-working sessions this autumn meeting on Market St in SF on 2nd or 3rd Thursdays but am waiting to hear clearly that I and WUaS can attend these 

Still seeking to move forward into a newly safe vacant with property deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 and thanks to Ed Smyth MD's precipitation beginning in March of 2022 I think, and having returned to the west coast from asylum in Pennsylvania because in my analysis it had become safer, first heading west on 12/10/26 and been underway since, much in this 2025 Toyota Sienna minivan (since March 4, 2025).

I just received a second 
Urgent next steps for your claim 0187249040101033 
Geico email, which I haven't yet opened, and which makes me wonder from the its timing in the evening again, and re GPS, (the last one, and see the PS, on Thursday which when I went in to their website took me to a damage report page - eg re gunshot to vehicle on M 5/18/26, and 5 tesla- companies' death threats) whether Geico has become involved in organized crime even ... re the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex drugs violence military targeting etc industries internationally and latent networks of violence. What to do?

Continuing to seek a life partner too, potentially an attractive 20 something MD, to begin a family out west here ... (Flora Halford-MacLeod MBBS who went to Fettes College too?, or?) 

Thoughts?

Best regards, Friendly NtF Quaker and UU greetings, Yogically (as in 8 limbs of Yoga), Desiderata prose poem salutations, Scott 



PS

Dear GEICO claims, Shameka, all, 

I just received a Geico email last night at 8:04 pm PT re

"Urgent next steps for your claim 0187249040101033" 

and am resending the email below which I just sent in that thread in this thread to this email myclaim@geicomail.com since it has worked before, and this one.- geico@et.geico.com  - didn't work just now - 


Dear Geico, 

Thank you for your email regarding, I think, the gunshot to my 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland edition minivan on M May 18, 2026 on around 8 am on Skyline drive in the Oakland hills of the SF Bay Area (as well as the 5 tesla-companies' related death threats earlier this year, I posit).

I just logged in per your Geico's 

"Urgent next steps for your claim 0187249040101033" 

 email last night -

Hi John, 

Following up, the Geico email last night could have been for me to access it on my smartphone having accessed  the Thursday Geico 'damage inspection' email on my laptop ... Just accessed Geico on smartphone app, and it looks like it wants me to schedule a damage inspection ... (now upon my return from the east coast but not yet living fully in 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 long after M 5/18/26) ... and re US federal law working with state of CA law effectively in new ways.

With the gunshot and 5 death threats (the first 3 saying 'we will kill you' on twitterX the 2nd 2 involving gunshots) am still deeply concerned about tesla related companies seeking to institutionalize international organized crime in the SF East Bay as I and World University and School continue to grow 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 re gps too ...

And I think I may need to seek a damage inspection after I move fully forward into a newly safe vacant with property deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 in order to unload this Sienna when I  get  other insurance companies-mediated, I think, car repairs done potentially at Car West Collision near Toyota Palo Alto, and a Sienna rental paid for by AAA insurance all in one fell swoop, hopefully soon.

Thanks for your being there, and for our talking over the years - I was at Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Study & Contemplation in the late 1980s when we first talked.

Thoughts?  

 Friendly regards, abolition, warmly, best wishes,
Scott

Dear Shuja, All, 

Thanks again for this "New for MITAS Founders: Co-working & Office Hours at Goodwin" opportunity and invitation this autumn this morning, which Thursday dates I'm penciling into my calendar. 

As I wrote on August 16th to you (and see the PS), and in registering my interest via email a number of times, since I haven't been able to get a MIT Infinite Connection Account number to register my interest on the registration form, I think I and World University and School (WUaS) building on CC-4 licensed MIT OCW in 7 languages are seeking a clear communication from you or similar that I can attend these 3 co-working sessions, or an MIT Infinite Connection Account number workaround # / similar (eg for possible Co-working sessions beyond these 3), - and without yet being able to apply by application, and thus register officially. 

Please advise. Might I just arrive at Goodwin's in SF first on Thursday, September 10, or what would you suggest? Or how best please to apply by application?


And please see the opening emails in both WUaS Weekly Business Meetings' 'Minutes' for 

8/24/26

M 8/17/26

Thanks & best regards, 
Scott

New for MITAS Founders: Co-working & Office Hours at Goodwin

Building a startup doesn't have to be a solo journey. This fall, MITAS is launching a new Founder Co-Working Program in partnership with Goodwin, giving selected founders a dedicated workspace alongside access to experienced startup attorneys.


Participants will have the opportunity to work from Goodwin's San Francisco office, connect with fellow MIT founders, and take advantage of office hours covering topics such as company formation, fundraising, intellectual property, commercial agreements, compliance, and M&A.

The first co-working sessions will be held at Goodwin's San Francisco office (525 Market Street) on:

The program is complimentary for selected MITAS members, but space is limited, and participation is by application.

Interested in joining? Apply to the MITAS Founder Co-Working Program

Panel Announcement: Security & Future of High Stakes Work

We’re thrilled to announce a new panel joining the MIT AI Conference 2026 lineup.


From cybersecurity to enterprise infrastructure to the systems that shape economic opportunity, AI is increasingly being trusted to operate where mistakes are costly and confidence is non-negotiable. Moderated by Jake Seid, Co-Founder and General Partner at Ballistic Ventures, this panel brings together Bhawna SinghMike HamiltonOmar Khawaja, and Dor Fledel to unpack what it takes to deploy AI responsibly when the cost of getting it wrong is real.


Expect a candid conversation on securing AI systems against real-world threats, the governance required to deploy them where failure isn’t an option, and how investors, operators, and security leaders are drawing the line between innovation and risk.


Whether you build AI, secure it, or bet on it, this is the conversation on what it takes to earn trust when the stakes are highest.
