Dear J.T.K. MD, 

Great to talk just now, and thank you. Looking forward to further communication with J.H. MD, and D.R. MD, and others at Harvard Medical School re possible collaborations/partnering with the online Medical Schools and teaching hospitals at CC World University and School, planned in all countries' main and official languages.

Here are the Harvard Medical School online courses I was referring to - 

https://hms.harvard.edu/education/continuing-education/online-cme-courses - which World University would like to explore building upon, to complement the CC MIT OpenCourseWare (in 7 languages) which is central to our startup university.

And here's the online Stanford Medicine online video, as a kind of kernel for an online teaching hospital (which again WUaS is planning in all countries' main languages) that I was referring to - 

https://plus.google.com/+ScottMacLeodWorldUniversity/posts/K24f6CqC22k.

And here are CC MIT OpenCourseWare-centric and CC Yale OpenYaleCourses-centric beginning Medical Schools and teaching "Hospital" (not yet in other languages)

"World University Medical School" - 

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Medical_School

"Digital World Medical School"  - 

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Digital_World_Medical_School

"Hospital" -

And here too is a related research page - 

"Clinical Trials at WUaS (for all languages)" wiki subject page - 

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages)

Creative Commons' licensed WUaS's business model partly involves seeking donations from all countries (per GDP?) for their online medical students along the lines of the $44,000+ per year it costs to go to Harvard or Stanford, for example. 

Great to have met you at your Stanford Grand Rounds' talk recently, and wonderful too that you're Dr. R.R.'s internist. He's one of my and my family's oldest friends. 

Thanks so much. 

Best regards, 

Scott

Dear Dr. Katz, 

Thanks for your fascinating talk just now at Stanford Medicine.

Joel Katz, MD

CME Accredited    

Your talk was edifying, timely and excellent - and re World University and School - and I'd love to explore what you spoke about online in a variety of ways at some point at World University (which is accrediting on CC MIT OpenCourseWare in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC) and planning online medical degrees in all countries' main languages with teaching hospitals re - https://plus.google.com/+ScottMacLeodWorldUniversity/posts/K24f6CqC22k - for example. 

WUaS is partly Friendly/Quaker-informed and your having gone to Earlham (in physics) is also fascinating in these regards. 

I mentioned meeting you twice to Dr. Dick Robb by email and am very glad you're Dick's internist, and that you know each other. 

Thank you for your fascinating presentation!

Best regards, Scott

Lake Skadar: Basic Universal Income & World University and School re Stanford Law panel ... WUaS is developing free, highest quality CC MIT OCW-centric (in 7 languages) and CC Yale OYC-centric and wiki CC universal education (200 countries' major universities with law schools in their languages and wiki schools planned for all 7,097 living languages) ... How might WUaS help facilitate a basic universal income?

Hi Scott, 

Greetings. Thanks for further connecting on Twitter recently (https://twitter.com/scottsantens). 

I'm developing CC World University and School, which is like CC Wikipedia with CC MIT OpenCourseWare (in 7 languages) and CC Yale OpenYaleCourses. We seek to accredit on these best STEM CC OpenCourseWare to offer free online CC university and high school degrees - and in all countries' main and official languages. WUaS is also planning wiki schools in all 7,097 living languages for open teaching and learning. So World University and School is developing free, highest quality CC MIT OCW-centric and wiki universal education. WUaS plans to offer online Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees as well as I.B high school degrees in all nation states' official languages. 

I'm writing you about WUaS's planned online law schools (as well as computer science Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees) in every countries' official languages and basic universal income. 

WUaS has been invited to be part of an informal panel at Stanford Law Codex - https://law.stanford.edu/codex-the-stanford-center-for-legal-informatics/ - probably in late January. WUaS would like also to explore helping code for bitcoin and the blockchain as well, and help facilitate institutionally these institutionally in terms of all nation states - and concerning planning for a basic universal income. 

Would you have interest in being in on the Stanford Law Codex panel via video along with possibly a few other people involved with World University, and perhaps share a few sentences about basic universal income if the opportunity arises? 

Again this would be very informal - and there might be other groups presenting as well. 

In what ways might we explore these ideas further? 

Best regards, Scott

Louis Agassiz: “I must make hard work a condition of a continued connection with the school, and desire particularly to impress it upon the applicants for admission that Penikese Island is not to be regarded as a place of summer resort for relaxation. I do not propose to give much instruction in matters which may be learned from books. I want, on the contrary, to prepare those who shall attend to observe for themselves. I would therefore advise all those who wish only to be taught natural history in the way in which it is generally taught, by recitations, to give up their intention of joining the school.” (Wilder 1898: 190 - https://www.jstor.org/stable/2452464)

Very curious about how to set mind on eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology per Stanford's Alia Crum's STEM research on "Mindset"?

Loving bliss can be amazingly great neurophysiology brain-wise, but in terms of context or milieu or socially, I have in mind hippie, caring and pacifist kinds of loving bliss neurophysiology (in part - but what are loving bliss qualities of brain chemistry?).

To think of the world through the lens of individuals' neurophysiologies (especially since we don't have a read on this yet, scientifically, in terms of neuroscience) is fascinating and mind-expanding (especially when one goes beyond the 7 billion humans on the planet today to the 3 species of primates closest genetically to us, for example).

Bliss, for example, which hippies experienced at a Grateful Dead concert in the 1960s or 1970s....

Valbonë Valley National Park, Albania: CC MIT ocw SOIL SCIENCE courses that might interest you, Scottish Country Dancing, Sailing, German Conversation in Google Hangouts, Albania, Poland, German and Russian World University and Schools, planned in their languages

Kent!

Nice to see and talk with you again at Scottish Country Dancing in Berkeley.

It's so great you're studying for your Ph.D. in soil science in Freiburg, after studying philosophy at UC Berkeley as an undergraduate some years ago. 

Here are some CC MIT OCW soil courses that might interest you -

Soil Behavior

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/civil-and-environmental-engineering/1-322-soil-behavior-spring-2005/

Advanced Soil Mechanics

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/civil-and-environmental-engineering/1-361-advanced-soil-mechanics-fall-2004/

While as wiki, you or anyone could create a new "Soils" wiki subject (planned in many languages), there isn't one new - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects (before we move to a new wiki emerging from Wikidata). And we might also add these courses to an Engineering subject page or http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Geology or http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Agriculture_School or http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Earth,_Atmospheric,_and_Planetary_Sciences - let's see how this plays out.

Here too in the beginning SCD wiki page at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Scottish_Country_Dancing. How to make all of these courses come flourishingly alive in new ways in an interesting question WUaS would like to focus on too. (How too to study enjoyment in learning inter-lingually?)

I didn't realize you sailed, let alone skippered while at Cal -

http://scores.collegesailing.org/f09/north-frosh-soph/A/ . (I've taught sailing before - in Lasers, Bullseyes and Turnabouts).

I'm finding Peter Bothe's GermanKlub - https://plus.google.com/+PeterBothe - interesting in Google Hangouts - if you might be interested. He lives in Bremen, and about every other Saturday at 10am PT, 7pm CET, is Willkommen in Deutschland, and on Thursdays at 11 am PT is German conversation for learning. I'll introduce you if you're interested, although your German is excellent.

See you at the Scottish Country Dance holiday party in Kensington if not before.

Hi M,

No 5 am morning today, I wonder what scaling World University will be like. What happens if we can grow like Google, with its innovations as it grows AI wise, to ~ 50,000 employees, for example - and in Wikidata (Wikipedia's back end) in its 358 languages - and then grow to 20 times this with ~ 800,000 undergrad and grad students, working 10 hours per week, in 8000 languages? What a change!

Looks like I got an offer yesterday to give a Stanford Law Codex talk in January or spring re WUaS's  online planned law schools in all countries' main languages, I'm glad to say. I hope to engage the Wikidata folks in these regards, re beginning to develop WUaS in Wikidata newly, so I can show this.

Your daily news' rituals (PBS Newshour and the PPG and Sunday NYTs +) are very mind and thinking oriented - and use it or lose it (one's brain - which I often read on a Reed College psychology Professor's door (in the early 80s) - Carol Creedon (http://www.reed.edu/reed_magazine/december2012/articles/features/creedon.html & http://www.reed.edu/reed_magazine/december2012/articles/letters/creedon.html) - or exercise it. 

How about substituting a different new's show (Democracy Now online?) for your daily ritual - and a variety of newspapers online, from the the Washington Post, to the Guardian in the UK, to the NY Times (all best, left leaning, I'd say) after the election stuff settles down. What's an even more critical international left-leaning newspaper? There's no major US newspaper way out on the left that I can think of - seems like a real opportunity for Berkeley (or UC, since UC remembers), for example.

Gonna have a looksee around for excellent web-based left-leaning newspapers that are gaining widespread traction among the NY Times' like-readers. World University and School now has two new newspapers, that generate so far their own content, which was a news' item itself in the last monthly business meeting announcement -

7 WUaS has two new newspapers - 

The World University and School Daily

 https://paper.li/WorldUnivAndSch/1474335157 and  - The MIT OpenCourseWare Daily https://paper.li/WorldUnivAndSch/1474335977 - with which WUAS is experimenting. Both carry this subtitle - "a) MIT is not affiliated with, and does not endorse, World University and School b) MIT does not offer credit to WUaS students, and c) All MIT OpenCourseWare materials are available for free" per communications with MIT Dean Cecilia d'Oliveira this spring.

What radical papers are emerging in paper.li I wonder ?

Music making this evening for SCD ... should be fun ... shoulder isn't perfect, and not sure whether I'll play small pipes or not, but played on Mon and Tue and maybe on Mon again.

Thanks for your email, and looking forward to seeing you, M.

Hi M,

Re giving up your "News" rituals post-election, and in terms of print media compared with video / TV, I think "Global Voices Online" - https://globalvoices.org - might interest you.

Tired here from 2 5am mornings in a row. Interesting speaking and financial developments emerged recently at Stanford too re WUaS.

I found Stanford Professor Alia Crum's talk at Ground Rounds yesterday (which I got up at 5 for) once again inspiring and it's similar to her TED talk here -

Change your mindset, change the game | Dr. Alia Crum | TEDxTraverseCity

https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=cA9o3TYNFp8 - which I'm watching for a 2nd time, for a total of 3. Blogged about this yesterday further - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/11/sandhill-crane-great-talk-this-morning.html.

Mindsets matter relative to body biological processes and she's proving how scientifically - so, placebo effects have measurable benefits. Her studies are smart, and she's very happy-making (for me) when she presents this thinking and evidence  live.

So I'm going to set my mind to be happy as I continue to develop my big project/WUaS  (learning from Alia:)  Watch her TED Talk, and begin to smile more - set your mind on this. I hope to build on her work and re eliciting loving bliss as well ...

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Loving_Bliss_(eliciting_this_neurophysiology)

(Build on her thoracic surgery / morphine and ghrelin approaches, communicating with half of a sample that they'll feel profoundly lovingly blissful, ecstatic and happy, and not communicating with the other half anything, while giving them MDMA; add another group in the Harbin warm pool, and with brain wave headsets, like Tan Le's - seek to measure oxytocins, dopamine, seratonin, endorphins ...
the neurochemistry of romantic love~heightened levels of four neurotrophins, - i.e. NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4 http://scottmacleod.com/daltonletter.htm ... and study this experimentally in a realistic virtual Harbin comparatively, as well).

...

Friend:

I'm going to reset my mind by going to bed early and getting up early to set on my meditation cushion long enough for my mind to settle.  

Scott: 

Her experiments and her modeling are her positive pills for me ! She's just describing her experiments ... haven't learned how she applies such to her own life systematically
