scientific thinking through stories, reflection, and hands-on exploration - Beyond Box and free MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch 


Hi Aesha, Thanks for sharing. While free MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School from home, planned in all 200 countries and in their main languages, has an university and secondary education focus, this comes to mind as possibly of interest to you, as an example, and models of scientific thinking which even elementary education kids might be inspired by (and in Australia and India too) -

Omar Yaghi Chemistry Nobel 2025

Omar Yaghi: Nobel Prize banquet ... 
at the ~30 second mark to the effect that 
"My journey began at the age of ten when I discovered drawings of molecules in my school ... 


That said, free World University and School is developing a physical-digital realistic virtual earth (and see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article and re a #RealisticVirtualEarth - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306) for everything, and think Google Street View with time slider, and wiki too - and in and to which kids will be able to create and add to - and to complement eg pen and paper regarding 'Fancy gadgets and instruments' - https://www.thebeyondbox.org/about - in the learning and teaching conversation at any age ... Let's explore some of these questions further in email. I'd be interested in your thinking regarding free MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School on our free WUaS degree side - Bachelor, Law, MD, PhD, IB high school or sim (for 16-19 year olds), AS and Masters of Science degrees - and as World Univ & Sch, in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program too, proceeds with accreditation ... and at Australia World University and School (from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States each country a major world class online research university from home) AND India World University and School planned in all 22 scheduled languages there. Just emailed you. 

Brainstorming, how could you and kids at the (possible) University of Sydney-affiliated Grades 1-5 school & classroom/play learning space  begin to do science and by heading into a physical-digital here, and start to write their names on the digital walls (per this picture - https://www.thebeyondbox.org/about - and with parallels to writing with pen on paper at that age, and science-wise) and even begin to create their own Digital Twins as personal tutors, and your Digital Twin Large Language Model from Gemini AI for an unfolding age-appropriate science conversation

Hello Scott,

Thank you for connecting. I’m Dr. Aesha Bhansali, founder of Beyond Box. My work focuses on helping children develop scientific thinking through stories, reflection, and hands-on exploration—especially in the early years (Grades 1–5).

I’m currently working on Humans of Science, a program that introduces children to scientists as thinkers and problem-solvers. It’s being explored as a foundational inquiry layer in progressive schools and innovation labs.

Given your long experience in education leadership, I would genuinely value your perspective and would be glad to share a brief overview if you feel it may align with your vision of learning.

Warm regards,
Aesha

Hi Aesha, 


As a further 'riffing' / brainstorming with the G 1-5 science learning examples below, perhaps students in your classroom in Sydney Australia with a single large Smart TV. screen to start could actually see and interact with the very molecules' images that Omar Yaghi Chemistry Nobel laureate 2025 did if there were pictures of them at his age 10 that ai and machine learning could add to realistic virtual earth for molecules, and even, further, in a realistic virtual earth for history, if there were for example pictures of Omar Yaghi Chemistry Nobel 2025 himself age ten, that AI and ML could make him conversational and interactive as a virtual 10 year old Omar Yaghi in Jordan .. and further such that your 10 year olds could talk with him as a 10 year old, as an avatar agent, and conversationally and learning about his love of these molecules as a kid ...

I TweetX a fair amount a #RealisticVirtualEarthForMolecules and the #GMoleculeLevel too ... and coded for Grades 1-10 this could be fun interactive learning on a large computer screen (eventually informing a #WUaSMultimediaRoom with smart screens on all 5-6 sides of a classroom ... for kids to get inside molecules for example) ... and further re scientific thinking through stories, reflection, and hands-on exploration. 

What do you think ? Friendly greetings from Berkeley. 

Warm regards,
Scott

Karoo, SA: Your 2025 Sienna XLE Woodland AWD Cement ~ and having not yet moved with the WUaS Academic Medical Center forward fully further into a newly safe, vacant, with deed, 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516, with US and state of California law processes working effectively in new ways * * * PhilPeople - In Linkedin - Thanks for connecting, Sven Nyholm. I received a PhilPapers' email (from David Chalmers?) with some of your writing - eg ": A Philosophical Introduction" - https://philpapers.org/rec/NYHTEO-5 - so linkedin here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sven-nyholm-5b8507167/ w https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottgkmacleod/.

Dear Mr. Tran and Sadaf Khoshvevis regarding Finance and my 3 year lease on this GREAT 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland minivan, and my Service Advisor today Randall Ricalde, (at Toyota Palo Alto), Robert Ramirez (at nearby Car West Collision),  Ed (Smyth MD, Kaiser Permanente NorCal), US senator and former Harvard Law professor Elizabeth Warren, all, 

Greetings (and abolitionally) from Magnussen's Toyota Palo Alto - as I wait for another 5000  mile maintenance required, and having not yet moved with the WUaS Academic Medical Center forward fully further into a newly safe, vacant, with deed, 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516, with US and state of California law processes working effectively in new ways, and per this email thread, AND regarding the 2 insurance claims (AAA, and the AAA Enterprise Car Rental & State Farm). 

Again, am seeking to bring in to Car West Collision near Toyota Palo Alto my GREAT 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland minivan for the repairs to the front left fender /bumper, and the driver's side mirror, and in using the AAA Enterprise Car Rental, after I move into a newly safe, vacant, with deed, 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516, with US and state of California law processes working effectively in new ways ... and in having received the claim checks from these 2 insurance companies ... and potentially in moving into 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon, CA 94516 by Sunday Feb 1,2026 even (and am still van-camping sometimes on this 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon 94516 - where I lived for about 13 years, before moving into a 'safe house' north of  Berkeley in El Cerrito, then fleeing for my life to the eastern seaboard, living in asylum in 2 houses there - and also living nearby to 670 Ridgecrest Road Canyon 94516, and in taking cold swimmers' showers in parks, eg on Alameda Island ... as I seek to stay alive from international organized crime, for example out of Canyon 94516; is heinous criminal?? tom wyile, former landlord, a 'dingpin' (not organized crime 'kingpin') in international organized crime? -  and are even and also the sf quajer meeting, and other quaker organizations involved in the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft, military targeting, etc. industries, and their latent networks of violence, as well as the jp morgan chase banks of the world (in about 100 countries out of 200 countries) eg in chase bank shadyside, Pittsburgh PA, re the murder word spoken to me there by vp Shauna McNally in March 2023? - and in staying alive).

Sadaf (Khoshvevis, head of Toyota Palo Alto Finance, I think), only 10 months into the 3 year lease for this 2025 Toyota Sienna, could you please clarify what I got in terms of a Maintenance package too, when I leased this Sienna on March 4, 2025? I recall getting a 2 year maintenance package, didn't I? - yet my service representative Randall just now said that today's Service would 'use up' my maintenance package, - and regarding OIL CHANGES I could buy a package of 5 more going into the future for $350 (where oil changes aren't required every 5000 miles I think). Do I have coverage for a full 2 years, or just 25,000 miles per Randall just now, or what please? And can you share the documentation about this in digital format please too?

After getting the car repairs done, and after moving into a newly safe vacant with deed 670 Ridgecrest Road, Canyon CA 94516 - by Sunday Feb 1, 2026?? - might it be possible to get a 2028 leased Toyota Sienna Woodland minivan  with a Toyota factory installed warm 2 gallon shower (eg at the 2 minute mark, but with newly designed water-heater on it https://youtu.be/lJg2bZOmpMw) with with Toyota designed basin for luggage area, and Origami shower curtain (per https://youtu.be/3Dey3wzYvXw), and with gray water and black water tanks, and related - and with the plumbing and the electrical done by Toyota? 

Continuing to grow a WUaS abolition movement worldwide to protect people, and with WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University and to distribute Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - to end poverty, and facilitate free universal education, and possibly as a strategy to abolish international organized crime (eg if Pi might not be considered money - per one definition of slave prostitution as sex for money - possibly in all 200 countries and in their main languages ... and even regarding the 'place' or 'location' of such ...  and how about newly in the back of secure Toyota Sienna minivans with warm 2 gallon showers??? - with both Pi crypto and Sienna vans easily traceable by law and law enforcement, - federal, state, uniformed armed services and international, etc.)

Sadaf, and Mr Tran, - are you around Toyota Palo Alto today? I'm in the waiting area. Looking forward to your replies, and thanks. 

Abolitionally, staying alive, best wishes, thanks,

Dear Mr. Tran (at Toyota Palo Alto), Robert Ramirez (at nearby Car West Collision),  Ed (Smyth MD, Kaiser Permanente NorCal) US senator and former Harvard Law professor Elizabeth Warren, all, 

Greetings, and Happy Thanksgiving! How are you all? No word back yet about moving forward into a newly safe, vacant, with title or deed 670 A Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 (and since March 4, 2025, and before), but might I hear back from you even by tomorrow? I would then be able to contact the Enterprise Car Rental re the AAA claim ... and get the two repairs done possibly from M 12/1/25 to F 12/5/25 ... 

Also, in a very curious parallel to the driver's side mirror getting damaged re the State Farm Claim (re austin thompson, who left his state farm insurance number on my windshield, when my car was parked in front of 2909 Ashby Ave, Berkeley, and a friend from Reed College since 1979, house) ... as I was driving along the shore on Alameda island to go to the cold swimmer's shower, a vehicle opened its stop sign, just as I past ... and dented the passenger side mirror? Could this even be due to Austin Thompson again, given the parallels, and related violence gangs possibly? With my internet going on and off just before this happened, could even State Farms' insurance have been somehow tracking me with GPS re their violence gangs possibly?

Hoping to move World University and School's academic medical center into a newly safe, vacant, with the title or deed 670 A Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 ... and with US federal law with state of CA law working effectively together in new ways.

Thoughts, questions, suggestions? 

Abolitionally, thanks, best, 
Scott

In agenda item C here, and especially in the video - 

I explore developing conversations of Toyota Siennas to add showers, toilets, a mini-kitchen, in addition to a bed for two ... and especially for WUaS faculty for STEM field sites, and possibly as graduate and other WUaS students' housing even, and as delivery vans too for the WUaS Educational Services' Stores, planned in all 200 countries and in their main language ...

Might WUaS be able to explore doing such Toyota Sienna conversions with Car West Collisions?

Dear Mr. Tran and Sadaf Khoshvevis regarding Finance and my 3 year lease on this GREAT 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland minivan, and my Service Advisor on Th 1/15/26 Randall Ricalde, (at Toyota Palo Alto), Robert Ramirez (at nearby Car West Collision), Ed (Smyth MD, Kaiser Permanente NorCal), US senator and former Harvard Law professor Elizabeth Warren, all, 

Greetings, and Happy New Year - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/01/mount-tamalpais.html. This email thread is growing long - Your 2025 Sienna XLE Woodland AWD Cement -
 and in my seeking to stay alive from international organized crime even (re possible Toyota service centers in Pittsburgh PA even too).

Thanks so much for putting on the state of California metal plates on my INCREDIBLE Toyota Sienna min-van - and regarding Toyota Palo Alto's role in state of California law enforcement too (and with the US federal government). 

As a followup to yesterday's email to all you which you'll find here (edited for typos) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/karoo-sa.html - I and World Univ & Sch were able to get an USPS post office box yesterday at the Canyon 94516 post office AND my LM Geico homeowner's insurance divider went through again yesterday for 670 A Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 too, I'm glad to write. WUaS continues to grow a worldwide abolition movement to protect people - and knock back international organized crime such as foreign 'military targeting" (search on this - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/karoo-sa.html), which may have been what happened to me in asylum in Pittsburgh in April 2023 I think with the frederic khayat episode and murderous run through attempt of me, sadly,  with possible swiss or Lebanese international organized crime working with swiss (& US even - re SSA checks to khayat) uniformed armed services and why I sought US federal protection fo my mother, brother and myself too.

F Jan 16, 2026

Mr. Tran, 

Thanks so much for your reply, and your card yesterday while I was waiting at Magnussen's Toyota, after which I called you. 

Greetings from the SF East Bay, and my Sienna is running well after yesterday's Required Maintenance ... 

I'll go with what Randall said about the 'Maintenance Package' next steps for Servicing the GREAT Toyota Sienna (and assume I won't hear back from Sadaf either), and I've blogged further about some of this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/karoo-sa.html.

Glad free wiki World University and School is growing and planned in all 200 countries as free worldclass WUaS universities, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages,  where Toyota is in about 170 countries out of 200!

Thanks, regards, Yogically, Friendly NtF Quaker greetings (re Peace testimony), Unitarian greetings too (as a pretty new member of UUCPA), best wishes,
Scott

Best Regards, Scott (GK MacLeod, - and check out the philosophy and AI wiki subjects / schools here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - and their MIT OCW courses eventually for credit toward free online degrees from home in 200 countries' main languages,  with an invitation to start a wiki subject about something you love or like to explore or teach about, and  in Swedish or German or English or ...) Cheers, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)

What are some best introductions to Philosophy for high school students, besides say The Consolations of Philosophy by Boethius, and what are some other possible books in these regards?

Both for 
Undergraduates 
& High school students 





*

Quine & Ullian's 

Web of Belief 
(a best intro to philosophy text? )

Why is or might Willard Van Orman Quine's 1970 "The Web of Belief" book be a best introduction to Philosophy for undergraduates, and what are some other possible books in these regards? 
Interesting #GeminiAIrePhilosophy reply - 
Philosophy Introduction Books Comparison
Thoughts?

In what ways could these 4 David Chalmers' TwitterX posts even become a whole new kind of introduction to philosophy, the philosophy of science, and regarding consciousness and the mind-body questions?

Dive in to philosophical consciousness questions, and partly with video ???

this paper on "sentience and moral status" has been around for a while and is now finally online. it's an elaboration of a thought experiment from reality+ about philosophical vulcans (who have consciousness without valenced experience), and an associated argument against "affective sentientism" (the view that valenced experience is required for moral status). with some thoughts about desire, motivation, welfare, value, and the moral status of animals and AI systems.
