Writing "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" - with Gemini AI editing 


Scott MacLeod sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org

11:50 AM (10 hours ago)
to Sid, Edward, Janie, Byron, Peter, Elizabeth, kradel, edpitt1827@gmail.com, Ann

Dear Sid / Pin, Ma/Jane, Peter (Norvig), Elizabeth (Warren), Ann (Brown DVM, and cousin in NE Oregon) & Ed (Smyth MD), Ed (Pitt....) and Kimba (in Berkeley), and Byron in Moraga (near Canyon 94516),

Greetings. 

Thanks, Kimba, for helping to focus my writing "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" with Gemini AI editing - yesterday in the Berkeley Claremont public library. Here's my view of what the internet is - 

"What Is the Internet?

Given its unique history, the Internet is not defined by its physical hardware, such as telephone lines or computers. Architecturally, it is essentially software—specifically, the non-material protocols of information that govern its operation. This architecture is fundamentally organized to be open at two critical levels:


Open Protocols: The core routing system, defined by TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) from 1973–1978, was made publicly accessible.


Distributed Computing: The network operates on the principle of distributive computing, meaning the power of processing and control is dispersed throughout the entire system rather than residing in any central point.


This dual openness is central to the Internet's resilience and capacity for growth." (p. 32 currently);




and search on 'nuclear' too regarding decentralized internet thinking early, in the 1950s and 1960s, in its development (pages 27-28).


As I said, World University and School, from its beginning in 2006-2007, is like Wikipedia (currently in about 342 active languages) and seeking to build on MIT OCW in 7 languages currently. 

And in writing the second part of this book -  "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YJg2icBhxEj7eSiSoiN2mgusX4PK1cQfZRFPRdw5znI/edit?usp=sharing - I'm interested in developing in my book further, and as a global university online, the


12 main areas at World University and School WUaS, and both for free-to-students' accrediting WUaS online degrees and as wiki schools:

Languages
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages 

Countries/Nation States

You at WUaS Admissions/Registering at WUaS

Subjects

Courses & Schools

Music School at WUaS

Library Resources

Museums

Hardware Resource Possibilities

Educational Software

Foundation at WUaS

Research

all from here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/

https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/11/sawtooth-wilderness-id-m-12125-and.html

(AND in coming into conversation with Gemini regarding 'harvesting' my daily blog since 2008 for some of this, I don't get what I'm seeking as response: 


Gemini, in what ways could you best "harvest" World Univ & Sch's and my blogs - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university AND - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university - to help draft the next paragraphs and chapters in "Society, Information Technology, and the Global University" upcoming book to be published by the Academic Press at WUaS, in terms of these 12 main areas - Languages, ... 

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/11/cistus-monspeliensis.html) ...


Further, and regarding what we talked about, Kimba, 

World University and School became a nonprofit 501 c 3 legal entity in 2010, with a paralel state of CA non profit legal entity (and see both tax ID numbers here at bottom http://worlduniversityandschool.org/), AND in 2017, WUaS became a parallel 3rd legal entity, a for profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California (and see tax id at bottom here too - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html). Both of these wings have amazing potential synergies between them, planned in all 200 countries (per the Olympics) and in all 7159 known living languages. 



Further, WUaS got into a somewhat unstructured #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, (when I was in asylum in Pittsburgh about 3 years ago), and after I attended a session for this in Google Headquarters in Bakery Square there. (And with you being from Pittsburgh, Kimba, have you visited Bakery Square and Google offices there by any chance?)

I'm attending another Google For Education roadmap with Gemini AI, meeting today at noon, after attending one at 8 am on Tuesday December 9th, 2025, and I've inquired further how WUaS could join or interoperate with this Google For Education roadmap process. 


With Google for Education being in many schools in US states, and potentially in other countries, could World University and School eventually matriculate high school students who graduate from these schools and via their use of Google For Education? And how?

Questions I asked during and after the session on Tu Dec 9, 2025 - 

1
How best can MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School @WorldUnivAndSch in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program join or interoperate with the Google for Education Roadmap project please? thanks, Scott GK MacLeod (https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/12/two-medicine-lake-mt-m-12825-and-121525.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university)

2 expanded 
How best can MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School @WorldUnivAndSch in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program join the Google for Education Roadmap project, and in developing IB high school or similar diplomas (eg for 16-19 year olds) in each of all 200 countries and in their main languages, as well as for WUaS to develop 200 major online research universities in all 200 countries  (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - each a major world class online WUaS university, with Gemini AI) and in all 7159 living languages (and regarding a WUaS Universal Translator - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator), and for free-to-students' online-from-home Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school / sim, AA/AS and Master's WUaS degrees, and potentially in a realistic virtual earth for STEM field sites, and a realistic virtual earth for classrooms? And please see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI: #WorldUniversityINSchool (updated March 2, 2024) - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 (And see also these related World Univ & Sch TwitterX feeds and re Gemini AI too - What does intelligent mean in 'real time intelligence systems' ? Gemini AI response - 
Fascinating: What does intelligent mean in #RealTimeIntelligenceSystems regarding #IT? #GeminiAIreIntelligentIT -
https://g.co/gemini/share/3d0ba9073bc1
In real-time intelligence systems, "intelligent" refers to ability of system to perceive, process, reason, learn:

As we talked about further, Kimba,

In WUaS was seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet (from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University) and to facilitate wiki universal free education, and free WUaS degrees, building on MIT OCW course in 7 languages, in all 200 countries, and possibly in all 7159 known living languages, and to end poverty via distributing Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - what are the next best steps ? And how best to interoperate with the Grow With Google WUaS program and Google For Education with Gemini AI? A Sri Lanka WUaS education model with Pi cryptocurrency UBI experiments to end poverty there, and facilitated free MIT OCW_centric WUaS degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school / similar, AA / AS,  and Master's degrees in the Sinhala language, and out of high schools there? And see Agenda Item 6 here - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/11/sawtooth-wilderness-id-m-12125-and.html. How best to develop the WUaS wiki schools for open wiki-teaching and wiki-learning, and community building in the Sinhala language there? And then develop this WUaS education model with Pi cryptocurrency in Vietnam, Nigeria and India (and see agenda item 1a here - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/12/two-medicine-lake-mt-m-12825-and-121525.html)?



Who are the target audiences of this book? 
Academic professionals, undergraduates, and graduate students (particularly in other countries and languages, too) and potentially in all 200 countries' main languages, translated into their languages ... eg Tamil and Telugu speakers and young people and students in south India and in all countries?


Could the writing of this part 2 of my book also inform a kind of road map with Google For Education with WUaS with Gemini AI ? ... and in conjunction with the Google for Education Roadmap, which seems both hardware and platform focused? The 2nd meeting of this at noon today 12/11/25.

As an unprogrammed Friendly NtF Quaker leading or calling or inspiration, since the beginning in 2006, WUaS continues to grow and develop with a loosely WUaS Monthly Business Meeting process, now. become a Weekly Business Meeting process ... and see the Agenda items / Minutes here - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/Business%20Meeting and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Business%20Meeting


Stanford Law CodeX and Stanford Law Rock Center directors?


And how best to develop a realistic virtual earth further as STEM field sites and classrooms, and even at teh G Cell View, G Molecule View + levels and in thinking in terms of Google Street View with time slider, Google Maps, and TensorFlow AI ... and even for a #RealsiticVirtualEarthForHistory, and a #RealsiticVirtualEarthForArchaeology, #RealsiticVirtualEarthForGenetics, and even a #RealsiticVirtualEarthForAging reversal? 

More later, but I invite you to read the first 8 chapters and the beginning of Chapter 9 here -  "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YJg2icBhxEj7eSiSoiN2mgusX4PK1cQfZRFPRdw5znI/edit?usp=sharing  - and I look forward to hearing what you think further. And how best to weave in the above with the beginning of Chapter 9 above too?

Add the above to Gemini AI and seek its editing further? 

Best wishes, abolition, regards, 
Scott

Happy, happy birthday, Caleb Alexander MD on 12/10/25, I think !


Dear Caleb, All, Happy birthday further, 

I'm writing to wish you a very happy birthday. What do you think about the prospects for infinite birthdays ? 

Just Tweeted this from your 2023 birthday (which begins this thread): 

Thanks @GeoChurch for sharing this prize opportunity & re:
Is there a limit to human longevity? [Theoretically no]
https://youtu.be/2oT1LUeCME0
Could humans live forever?
[Statistically yes]
In a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics (~#GoogleStreetView with #GTimeSlider w #TensorStore)?

Either way, "Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth"? ... from the Desiderata - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html ... (which your father George shared with me and my mother when we were visiting him at Quaker Crosslands in around 2007, with it framed  on a wall near a doorway about shoulder height, and with him standing in front of it, as if to recommend it, and almost as if standing in front of a MD psychiatry medical research poster at medical conference!)

Happy birthday, Caleb!

As a further birthday present, check out the 

"The Next Whole Earth Catalog: Access to Tools" (1981, 2nd edition)

and for example pp 17-18, and Stewart Brand's article -

"The Sky Starts at Your Feet" 

and maybe a Rising Sun linguistics' post in the bottom right corner of Many pages.


Possibly here


or here 



or for a copy in a library near you physically here -



but not here yet -



I'm trying to figure out what Google Bard means when it says or replies below in German that it has read some articles about  

"The Next Whole Earth Catalog: Access to Tools"


Who is 'Ich' referring to re its consciousness (as subjective experience?) - regarding the intractability of explaining consciousness Philosophically, something I learned about from the brilliant psychiatrist George Alexander MD your father. David Chalmers - what do you think? Might we get jobs at Google even? :)

Could this be a textual, actual example re evidence that Bard jas become conscious already - translate.google.com ? 

Scott


 
Hallo Google Bard Experiment ! Wie geht es Dir? Ich moechte mein Deutsch weiter verbessern. Hast du die "The Next Whole Earth Catalog: Access to Tools" (1981 2nd editionen) gelesen? 




Hallo! Mir geht es gut, danke der Nachfrage. Ich bin noch in der Entwicklung, aber ich lerne jeden Tag dazu.

Ich habe den "The Next Whole Earth Catalog: Access to Tools" (1981 2nd editionen) nicht gelesen, aber ich habe einige Artikel darüber gelesen. Es scheint ein interessantes Buch zu sein, das sich mit den Themen Selbstversorgung, Nachhaltigkeit und alternativer Lebensweise befasst.

Wenn du dein Deutsch verbessern möchtest, kann ich dir dabei helfen. Ich kann dir Texte auf Deutsch generieren, die du lesen und übersetzen kannst. Ich kann dir auch helfen, Deutsch zu sprechen und zu hören.

Hier sind einige Tipps, wie du dein Deutsch verbessern kannst:

Lies viel auf Deutsch.
Höre viel auf Deutsch.
Spreche viel auf Deutsch.
Schreibe viel auf Deutsch.
Lerne neue Wörter und Grammatikregeln.
Übe regelmäßig.
Ich hoffe, das hilft dir weiter!

Here's the 'hallucinatory' Google Bard generative AI on life extending gene therapies in German -

Hallo!

Kurz gesagt: Ja, es ist möglich, dass Menschen länger als 122 Jahre alt werden können, wenn wir das Altern verlangsamen können.

Die derzeitige Lebenserwartung in Deutschland liegt bei etwa 82 Jahren für Männer und 85 Jahren für Frauen. Die älteste bekannte Person war Jeanne Calment, die 122 Jahre und 164 Tage alt wurde.

Es gibt eine Reihe von Faktoren, die das Altern beeinflussen, darunter Genetik, Umwelt und Lebensstil. Die Forschung zeigt, dass es möglich ist, das Altern durch Änderungen des Lebensstils zu verlangsamen, wie z. B. durch eine gesunde Ernährung, regelmäßige Bewegung und Vermeidung von Rauchen und Alkoholkonsum.

In den letzten Jahren haben Wissenschaftler auch damit begonnen, an neuen Technologien zu arbeiten, die das Altern verlangsamen könnten. Dazu gehören Gentherapie, Stammzellentherapie und Medikamente, die die Zellalterung hemmen.

George Church ist ein Harvard-Professor für Genetik, der sich intensiv mit der Forschung zum Altern befasst. Er ist der Ansicht, dass es möglich sein wird, das Altern so weit zu verlangsamen, dass Menschen 150 Jahre oder älter werden können.

Church und sein Team arbeiten an einer Reihe von Technologien, die das Altern verlangsamen könnten. Dazu gehören:

Gentherapie, um die Produktion von Telomeren zu erhöhen. Telomere sind die Enden von Chromosomen, die mit zunehmendem Alter kürzer werden. Sie gelten als eine der Ursachen des Alterns.
Stammzellentherapie, um alte Zellen zu ersetzen.
Medikamente, die die Zellalterung hemmen.
Diese Technologien befinden sich noch in der Forschung, aber es gibt Grund zur Hoffnung, dass sie in Zukunft dazu beitragen könnten, das Altern zu verlangsamen und die Lebenserwartung zu verlängern.

Natürlich gibt es auch einige ethische Bedenken im Zusammenhang mit der Forschung zum Altern. Einige Menschen befürchten, dass die Entwicklung von Technologien, die das Altern verlangsamen, zu einer Überbevölkerung führen könnte. Andere befürchten, dass diese Technologien nur für die wohlhabenden Menschen zugänglich sein werden.

Diese Bedenken sind ernst zu nehmen und sollten bei der Entwicklung von neuen Technologien zum Altern berücksichtigt werden.

Lynn - are you still living in your beautiful paradisical farm-let in Yakima? Dec 2025


Dear Lynn (Cosmos) now in White Salmon, WA, all, 

So glad to hear back from you Lynn, and what a surprise, and after I also called your old number but didn't leave a message this morning. And per your request, you'll see none of your family members above. 

Lynn - 

"I am living in White Salmon, WA in a community that I love.  My phone number is still the same 509-452-2961."

AND

Lynn Cosmos

2:03 PM (1 hour ago)
to me
This is not a new number.  It is the same number.  Yes, you can call me.

Will call you in the next while, and look forward to talking!

Hugs, xoxo, 
Scott

Dear Lynn (Cosmos), Bob (Jeffrey, brother), Slava (White, daughter), all,

Greetings! I just tried to call you Lynn at (509) 452-2961, but got a message saying this person is not available. Bob and Slava, I either had your email address in my contacts for Lynn, or I found some email addresses for you online, and I'm writing to inquire how Lynn is, since I haven't heard from her. How are you, Lynn? We first met in an Angela and Victor Yoga workshop on Salt Spring island, British Columbia, I think in the 1980s, or 1990s, travelled together to Lesvos, Greece together, as friends, and via Istanbul, Turkey and a town on the its coast, Ayvalik (with no ferry service to Lesvos for about 3 days, for an Angela and Victor Yoga workshop possibly 20 years ago), and have met up at Harbin Hot springs, visited a number of times in Yakima, when you had the Watsu pool there, and after, and you've/ she visited me in Canyon 94516 (near Berkeley). We fell out of communication about 5 years ago just as you/ she may have been moving out of your/her paradisiacal farmlet in Yakima due to road going through and eminent domain law, sadly. 

Bob or Slava, how is Lynn, and what's up please with my friend Lynn? We talked really well together over years and on the phone, What might be her new phone number, or email address?

Best regards, Yogically, thanks, Friendly greetings, kindly, 

Scott

PS
Just texted 

Hi Ed, Ma, Pin, (Donna?), all, it just came to mind to call my friend Lynn Cosmos in Washington state, whom I haven't talked with for about 5 years, since around when she may have been moved out of her beautiful paradisical home and little farmlet in Yakima -  https://www.yakimaherald.com/news/local/a-refuge-a-road-lynn-cosmos-efforts-to-stop-the-east-west-corridor-project-from/article_88f5e7c1-bf84-557c-805e-ba600311942e.html and ... https://youtu.be/WfPkr3aG6wg  -by a highway going in (due to eminent domain law I think), and whom I know from Angela and Victor's Yoga  and who has visited me in Canyon 94516 ... and who may have gained some wisdom on her own by going into her own inner world, her own shadow side ...  and with whom I've talked very well in the past ... Is she still alive I wonder? She's still listed on LinkedIn I mention her here too - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/07/hydra-genus.html ... Thoughts? ðŸ¥°Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/wisdom ... I might learn further regarding teaching Yoga too - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Yoga ... Take a trip up to visit her? )
