amur leopard: finding relaxation response eliciting salutary and beneficial for years, focusing the relaxation response meditation in new ways? is doing the relaxation response for me a kind of individual culture generation?

...

finding relaxation response eliciting salutary and beneficial for years ...

a kissing of the inner bodymind,

and an easing and attunement anew,


and also in the context of Quaker Meeting (and just today at Multnomah Monthly Meeting in Portland, Oregon, after a long time not at this Quaker Meeting, on Sunday), in an nontheistically f/Friendly, manner, as well as in the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool {the warm water in lotus pose eases me into meditation deeply} ... and I've been wondering how to move beyond a daily relaxation response meditation, in a variety of ways, but especially in terms of eliciting an easing loving bliss, and often, into ways of flourishing (eudaimonia) ...

... many wonderful neurophysiologies ...


How to explore these neurophysiologies further, especially in the context of evolutionary biology, for example, as well as in visionary ways?


*

Is doing the relaxation response daily for me a kind of individual culture generation?

I wondered this morning while doing the relaxation response - having missed a morning eliciting the relaxation response, then done it the next day, then missed it yesterday, both times without thinking about missing it, - whether I was in a way generating culture, in my own way, with it, and being back in Reed's familiar culture or ethos (with its aspects of student counterculture), meant this familiar culture (being immersed in it by living on campus) made doing the relaxation response daily not happen (and that my doing it daily was indeed a form of culture generation). ... interesting observation and connection, I also thought, and I suppose so ... How to begin to articulate culture and biology, in this respect, further, I wonder?

Big, green, iridescent forests speak to me in Oregon, on the road to Reed

Big, green, iridescent forests
speak to me in Oregon, ~
and blue skies and gray clouds
color everything,
with wild, different light.

Timbering industry lumbers on,
as Old Growth forests diminish,
as I drive north to Stumptown,
not yet in a solar car,
to Reed's ReedFayre,
a reunion in Portland,
which is growing big
with people.

Reed's canyon -
that green water-valley in its middle, full of life,
this campus's natural focus these days, -
old friends,
a gentler, Oregon ethos,
than many, in modernity,
are welcomingly familiar,
and I speak quietly here to folks
of World University and School,
influenced as it is,
in its knowledge generation focus, especially,
by Reed's
intellectual culture.

I wander down
on a tour,
into the depths of its library,
to the calligraphic Lloyd Reynolds' collection,
and learn of a book,
full of Beat poets and writing-art,
"LJR: Stained the Water Clear a Festschrift for Lloyd J Reynolds,"
a long time Reed professor,
whom didn't teach Steve Jobs calligraphy -
that was Father Palladino -
before Jobs dropped out,
turned on,
moved back to the Bay,
to found Apple with Woz,
in a garage.
A Lloyd Reynolds' weathergram,
10 words or less calligraphed, about nature,
on paper,
preferably cut from an old, brown bag,
dangles from a tree,
like a treat,
outside the library,
which didn't say,

'Big, green, iridescent forests 

speak to me in Oregon,'

but was instead writ with,  ~

"The new buds open from within,
are lit from behind"

Reed College's ReedFayre Reunion ...

In what ways can World University and School plan to become the Oxford and Cambridge of the Internet, 800 years into the future, in addition to becoming the MIT, Harvard, Yale and Stanford of the Internet, - and, on the wiki side, for open, people-to-people teaching, in all languages (7,413+) and countries (204+)?

Being at this ReedFayre 2 years after Reed's 100th anniversary provides much to think about in this regard.

In addition to WUaS's financial needs, and growing its endowment - Cambridge and Oxford in Britain and Harvard and MIT in the United States are at the pinnacle of academia, for example, in terms of their compensation packages to faculty, I think, and Harvard has the largest University endowment in the world - WUaS can plan in the following ways in seeking overachieving, and best, students and faculty, in all languages and countries.


WUaS beginning planning for 800 years

- STEM-centricity - science, technology, engineering and mathematics focus - to begin, especially information technologically

- seek overachieving students and faculty in all languages and countries, and build worldwide community around this, like the great universities above have

- WUaS can focus explicitly on making its formidable, MIT-centric academics enjoyable, and studying and measuring this, in terms of 'flow' (Csikszentmihalyi), as well as flourishing (eudaimonia), among many other ways; for its prospective, undergraduate students many of whom come from the U.S., Reed College, which draws nationally (with about 3,000 applicants, and Reed just waived its admission's fee), offers formidable academics in its reaching out to students, and has begun to focus on questions of student enjoyment in its admission's discourse

- With WUaS's 200+, planned, Law Schools in 200 + countries, under one umbrella, WUaS will be able to develop legal innovation in terms of intellectual property law, international law, environmental law, corporate law, maritime law ... indeed in all aspects of the law, and begin to measure and study this as well. WUaS will also be able to develop presidents / managers / clerks (in a Quaker sense) in all 200 countries' universities/schools, and in so many other ways

- Similarly, with WUaS's 200+, planned, online, Medical Schools in 200 + countries, under one umbrella, and online hospitals (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hospital), the data accumulation potential over 800 years, for example, is remarkable, as is the possibility to offer online, free, creative commons' medical education and care to poor and underserved parts of the world, such as Africa

- And similarly, with WUaS's 200+ countries, its planned, online, MIT-centric, Ph.D. degrees will generate a remarkable interlingual conversation, which implications 800 years ahead are difficult to plan for

- WUaS will plan to study longitudinally (very - 800 years +), comparatively and linguistically (7000 languages), how different cultures learn; having lived in French-speaking Switzerland for 6 months, when I was 12 and 13, Edinburgh, Scotland for 2 separate years (1976-1977 and 2003-2004), and in Munich Germany (1981-1982) for a year, I've learned that different cultures and languages approach learning in very different ways

- Plan to “Do Good, Do Great, Do Care, - Information Technologically” (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2013/04/red-howler-monkey-googles-do-no-evil.html)

- In addition, WUaS, in seeking to become the Oxbridge, MIT and Harvard of the Internet, can plan to become the 'UP,' career-wise and in terms of excellence, for aspiring faculty, students, researchers, lawyers, medical doctors, staff, poets and musicians (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School), and so many others (WUaS seeks also to become a significant employer worldwide, with an 800 year initial time horizon).

- Research (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Research): WUaS will seek to develop very long term research projects, and in all languages (for example, in brain and cognitive science as well as consciousness research, among a very great number of other, especially, STEM-related inquiries, and technological innovations and development of devices and information technologies).



Reed College has a large community of great students and of mature faculty and academics, and is also seeking to build Reed's endowment (currently at about 450 million U.S. dollars, with a current staff of about 500), and improve its academics further, as well as build its communities. World University and School can learn a lot from Reed in developing its online community.

Giant neotropical toad: WUaS's MISSION and updated BUSINESS PLAN, Why World University and School and WUaS’s team?, Why should we believe WUaS?, (i.e. what is your track record), Financial analysis

Dear J,

Great to telephone with you today at your Bank in SF. You'll find the following and much more at World University and School's Business Plan here: 

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


Mission of WUaS

World University & School's (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University - like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware) - mission, in reaching out to the entire world, is to provide a free, wiki-based education platform and, through facilitating the development of broadband worldwide, to make our service accessible to under served parts of the world. The WUaS mission is thus to facilitate all levels of teaching and learning opportunities (and future degrees) through an open, editable wiki in all languages, nation-states and subjects with great universities, and for One Laptop per Child countries and everyone.




- Why World University and School and WUaS’s team?

World University and School’s team’s international focus makes possible WUaS’s plan to offer accredited, Creative Commons’ licensed, free, MIT OCW-centric, online, university degrees in many languages and countries: bachelor, Ph.D., law, and M.D., as well as I.B. high school diplomas. WUaS’s team international focus also facilitates open wiki-schools, for people-to-people teaching in all 7,105+ languages and 204+ countries; Wikipedia is in 285 languages by way of comparison.


- Why should we believe WUaS? (i.e. what is your track record).

World University and School just received the 'green light' from the state of California to begin the accreditation process in May 2014.

WUaS incorporated in 2010 as an educational organization in California, and received federal, 501 (c) (3) tax exempt status in 2011, and has approximately 580 wiki, subject pages. Accreditation, first in California and with BPPE and WASC senior is a three stage process, where WUaS must graduate its first undergraduate class before receiving full accreditation in 2018. WUaS has a long track record of institutionalizing as an online, startup, MIT OCW-centric university, and long term goals and plans.


- Financial analysis.

A.
WUaS seeks to build a $20-$50 million dollar endowment as a 5 year target. Within 5 years, WUaS plans to acquire the endowment base necessary to sustain this business with 100,000 students and 2,000 instructors.

WUaS plans to raise funds from governments, universities, philanthropic foundations, and companies as well as individuals.

B.
WUaS is also planning an online bookstore / computer store and in all languages and countries, for textbooks, intellectual resources, musical instruments for students at WUaS, with a plan to charge 2% less than the competition in various countries (probably on the order fulfillment side).

WUaS also is planning on-the-ground bookstores at some point in the future, perhaps near Apple Computer stores in cosmopolitan cities of learning around the globe.

C.
WUaS is also planning an online, academic publishing house, both of books and journals, in multiple disciplines in all 7,105+ languages and 204+ countries.


Besides contacting Pacific Community Ventures, as you suggested, can you possibly please suggest any

- Directors of foundations, or foundations, or related per Financial Analysis item A;

- Sources of financial resources for building an online Bookstore / Computer store, eventually in all languages and countries, per Financial Analysis item B;

- Similarly, sources of financial resources for building WUaS's online, academic Publishing House, both books and journals.


I'm including 3 F/friends from San Francisco Friends' Meeting in this email, since you're SFFM's banker and WUaS is Quaker-informed: D, A (SFFM's Treasurer) and J (a skilled grant writer). 

Might we possibly set up a meeting in person? (Unfortunately, I won't be at Meeting this upcoming Sunday, - I'm heading to a Reed College reunion, partly to do WUaS outreach).


I look forward to your further thoughts about this, per our conversation.

World University and School seeks to become the Creative Commons' licensed (so, free) MIT / Harvard of the Internet in all 7,105 languages and 204 countries, with free, university degrees in many languages.


Thank you.

Sincerely,
Scott

Indian Peafowl: Looking forward to seeing WUaS Board Members in Portland, Oregon, at the ReedFayre reunion this Thursday, (Four of us are Reed Alumni), Developing Reedie Networks, https://www.youtube.com/WorldUnivandSch, Steve Jobs, Reed and Scaling Large

Hi G, G, and D,

Looking forward to seeing you in Portland, Oregon, at the ReedFayre reunion from this Thursday, June 13th, to Sunday, June 16th, or so.

Will you be there, D? (Having traveled with Steve Jobs to India for many months in the mid-1970s, and worked on a recent film about him, you know some of the Reed College Steve Jobs' networks better than most people I think :).

G and I are planning to meet in person, if possible, with Reed President John Kroger (and perhaps with you G or D?) and eventually to talk about Reed and World University and School collaborations, ( per these main points - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2013/06/vaquita-wuas-collaboration-with-reed.html - which I've also posted below).



One main goal of mine vis-a-vis World University and School is to explore networking with Reed and Reedies over time.

G, G and D: could you please introduce us to well-to-do Reedies who might become part of a WUaS financial team, at this ReedFayre, and over time? Are there any Reedies you would suggest meeting D, if you aren't going?


In what ways can WUaS build on the Steve Jobs' legacy and his 'networks' - long-term Reedie investors in Apple, for example? - vis-a-vis Reed College during this visit?

Perhaps we can get also some good video of us for developing WUaS outreach while at Reed (of places we know Steve Jobs to have hung out, for example).


Per our conversation, G, can you please sign us and World University and School up for the Paideia-like panel?


Let's scale MIT OCW-centric World University and School large.


See you soon ... Portland is sweet in the Spring :)

Best regards,
Scott




Dear G,

I called Reed President John Kroger's office today in Portland, Oregon, to inquire about meeting with him this Friday with you (per our conversation about developing a Reed strategy in WUaS's business meeting on Saturday and before) for 10 minutes or so to talk about Reed and World University and School collaborations, (per these main points - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2013/06/vaquita-wuas-collaboration-with-reed.html).

I left a message inquiring about our meeting together with him on their machine, mentioning some of the points in this blog entry above, as well as your name.

Their email address is - @reed.edu - if you'd like to follow up with an email (before or after their reply), also per our previous conversations, and I'll let you know when and what I hear back from them.

I hope part of our potential meeting with President Kroger and other Reedies over the ReedFayre Reunion can lead to monies.

And can WUaS build on the Steve Jobs' legacy and 'networks' vis-a-vis Reed College?

See you Thursday at the airport in Portland!

Best regards,
Scott





Hi G,

The Reed President's Office may well not call back, - this being a busy time for them. And perhaps we should plan on meeting John Kroger together in a more ad hoc fashion during one of the days at ReedFayre, until we hear from them.

It also might make sense to set up a WUaS 'Paideia' (open teaching and learning) panel time - per the Reed email about this - independently of any call back from them. Per a Reed 'Paideia' panel, my Android smartphone, and with its holder, takes video, (stationary - and even does group video conferencing in a G+ Hangout if helpful - postable here - https://www.youtube.com/WorldUnivandSch) which could be helpful for WUaS outreach to the Reed Community and "Across the Universe."

Hoping too to make a brief, video introduction to WUaS for 11th grader, prospective overachieving students interested in a free, MIT OCW-centric undergraduate education here soon - https://www.youtube.com/WorldUnivandSch - perhaps at Reed, which I just cleaned up a little recently.

Regards,
Scott






Here are some items at the top of my WUaS Reed agenda (as well as for a Paideia-like event):

- open a long-term WUaS collaboration with Reed

- Hum 110 in live video with various professors (MWF 9-1030 am Pacific Time), and with Reed instruction to WUaS graduate student instructors (ideally Reedies matriculated as graduate students elsewhere - especially at MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Cambridge, and other great universities - and these, particular -  http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses#University_course_listings) for teaching the conference method in G+ Hangouts ... accessible live online in the United States and Malaysia (where G grew up), for example, for creating online university community and developing WUaS teaching and learning method online

- Reedie donors for hiring Reedie WUaS interns

- new Reedie Board members

- WUaS graduate programs as collaboration - Ph.D. (2015), law (2016) and M.D. (2017), all in English, to begin - with Reedies as prospective, online students ... like Stanford and Berkeley, etc.

- Reedies with other languages (as 1st language) hired as interns for WUaS's 7105 languages and 204 countries, each a wiki-subject-page-school to begin

Hi nontheist Friends,

I just added these very clear and engaging interviews and speeches from Malcolm X ... "Malcolm X: Speeches and Interviews (1960-65)" ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9AmuYqjRyg ... to the 'Black Studies' wiki subject at WUaS ...http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Studies ... Malcolm X probably galvanized clearly, and defined in multiply ways, ongoing issues in American Islamophobia - remarkably (complicated by questions of race and legacies of slavery). Islam was a road to, and vision of, freedom for Blacks in the U.S. for Malcolm X.  

His articulateness, clear reasoning, responses to white interviewers, and his sometimes militant, black nationalism, seem to merge very closely with his theistic and Muslim thinking. At times he espoused complete separation from white society, especially for Black, believing, American Muslims, in the name of a Muslim God, Muhammad.

His religion seemed to give him such strength and ability to connect with other black Muslims, and white, progressive sympathizers, as well ... all of which is very fascinating. 

As NtFs, how to listen to, and learn from, his clear message (of 50 years' ago), instead of reacting against it, and tuning it out, out of American Islamophobia? 

NtFs, in our occasional independence orientation from the RSOF/Quakers (for example, most recently possibly, in publishing NtF's 'truths' in a Friendly manner), might learn a lot from Malcolm X's clear expressions of freedom, in the context of a hostile and racist society, which has perhaps possibly changed for the better in these intervening years, perhaps both in terms of less racism, as well as possibly less Islamophobia in U.S. society. 

Regards,

Scott

Nontheist Friends, 

With an interest in nontheistic Friendly/Quaker nonharming/nonviolence, and understanding the roots of conflict in a Quaker sense, per your previous comment in this email thread, Mike, about people in Iraq killing each other: 

With the American War in Iraq beginning about 10 years ago (in 2003) - I think possibly 650,000 Iraqis died and possibly 8,000 Americans, - probably partially initiated over American oil interests in the region. One could postulate that this American War in Iraq also had roots in Islamophobia, contributing to today's chaos in Baghdad. (In the American War in Vietnam - another form of Orientalism? - nearly 60,000 Americans died and 2-3 million Vietnamese died, I have read). How to bring NtF/Quaker understandings to end wars?

Interesting to see how Malcolm X is represented in Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_X - in terms of his own death and his father's. 

It's interesting to see how Islamophobia is represented in Wikipedia  - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamophobia.

It's interesting too to see how Orientalism is represented in Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism.

I continue in my 'out of the box' NtF thinking, in an evolutionary biological sense, to come to questions of how humans can learn Bonobos' thinking (with no known fatalities) and move away from - unlearn - common chimp thinking (which do war and violence among themselves), and in terms of Islamophobia and Orientalism, especially. 

Far too many Americans and people of other countries (who might fall under the umbrella of Orientalism / people of the Orient) are dying in these tragic wars, and their aftermaths. 

NtF compassion for those who died on my part? Quaker  ... Yes ... And how to learn Friendly nonviolent approaches to ending war and conflict? I don't know exactly how MLK Jr looked at Malcolm X's militant Islamic black nationalist thinking, but here's the Martin Luther King, Jr wiki subject page at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr. - where we all might teach and learn about MLK Jr.'s nonviolence, especially vis-a-vis questions of American racism - and in the charged 1960s. 

With F/friendly greetings, 

Scott

Should nontheist Friends be interested in exploring questions of Islamophobia in an academic manner, here below is an upcoming, related conference this December in Paris, which recently came into my worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com email inbox from UC Berkeley, and which - some of this - I may post to my blog, as well.

With F/friendly nontheistic greetings, 

Scott

Call for Papers

Paris, France International IslamophobiaConference

The Epistemic, Racial, Cultural and Structural Exclusionary Measures in France and Europe

CFP Deadline: September 2, 2013Conference Date: December 13-14, 2013

UC Berkeley IRDP (Islamophobia Research and Documentation Project)
and CADIS (Centre d'Analyse et d'Intervention Sociologiques), Paris

Invite Scholars and Researchers to Submit Paper Proposals:

The Islamophobia Research and Documentation Project of the Center for Race and Gender is hosting an international conference on Islamophobia to be held in Paris, France on December 13-15, 2013.  Islamophobia has become one of the most pervasive forms of racism and discrimination in the world today.  It is used in the West to police communities of color, to invade countries, to construct the patriarchal racial inferiority of Muslim women, to discriminate against populations in the labor market or to simply make them the target of the “war against terrorism.”  But the problem has broader dimensions when we consider issues such as political, cultural, religious and epistemic Islamophobia.  In Western Europe, Islamophobia is on the rise.  France is among the countries where Islamophobia acquires complex and multi-layered dimensions.  The obsession of the French state with French Muslims is expressed by continuous passing of laws to regulate the behavior and even the forms of dressing of Muslims, in particular, Muslim women.  The latest in the list of legal measures directed at Muslims in France is the attempt of the François Hollande administration to extend the law against the use of the veil in public schools to workplaces, day care workers, etc.  Even Muslim mothers using veils are forbidden from entering public schools where their children study.  The time is right for an international conference in Paris, France to examine the problematic Islamophobicdiscourses in France and Western Europe and the curtailment of Muslim legal status as religious, ethnic and racial minorities.  We are calling specialists, academics and activists to submit papers.  

Please send a title, a 300 word abstract and a short one paragraph biography by September 2nd, 2013, to hatemb@berkeley.edu

Vaquita: WUaS collaboration with Reed College?

Hi G,

Looking forward to seeing you Thursday at the airport in Portland, and thanks!

Per potentially meeting with Reed College President John Kroger in person, ideally on Friday, June 14, 2013 during ReedFayre (a very busy day for him, probably), here are some items at the top of my WUaS agenda (as well as for a Paideia-like event): 

- open long-term WUaS collaboration with Reed,

- Hum 110 in live video with various professors (MWF 9-1030 am Pacific Time), and with Reed instruction to WUaS graduate student instructors (ideally Reedies matriculated as graduate students elsewhere - MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Cambridge, and other great universities) for teaching the conference method in G+ Hangouts ... accessible live online in the United States and Malaysia, for example, for creating online university community and developing WUaS teaching and learning method online
