Long time UC Berkeley and USC Prof. Manuel Castells made the argument in an UC Berkeley course in 2000 that the nature of war has changed dramatically due to Information Technology, starting the negative impact of body bags on TV during the American War in Vietnam. The American public's dislike of this transformed the Pentagon dramatically. His argument is involved, but here are some rough mortality statistics from recent wars: Vietnam: 59,000 Americans and 2-3 million Vietnamese; Persian Gulf: 148 Americans, ?; American War in Iraq: 5000 Americans, 100,000? Iraqis ...

The future for war is hard to predict, however more good anti-war media may continue to be a good deterrent ...

War in some ways used to be predicated on attrition: throw one army against another and see who outlasts/outbleeds the other (as tragic as this was). And information technology also now makes it possible, for those armies that possess it, for example, to target command and control centers (and related strategic advantages), and so, in a sense, win nearly instantly, with very little mortality, and instead of raping and pillaging and removing resources from a conquered territory (one interpretation of war in the past), democratic nation states now use information technology to conduct forms of PR (public relation, or educational, campaigns) in countries where a kind of fast supremacy has been established, and, further, to then use this PR to help establish that 'losing' nation states' sovereignty with democratic governments; what a turnaround from history. While these Castellian theses are difficult to verify empirically looking ahead, especially given history, they are fascinating arguments.

AFSC's anti-war campaigns, now for nearly a century, and beginning in the name of Quaker conscientious objection during WW I, by organizing to provide alternative service opportunities to COs, may have developed in a parallel way, from providing materiel then to media images such as the ones above, - all part of such information technological and media developments, - and could be argued to be somewhat successful, for example, looking at the above reading of mortality statistics due to American wars.

There's still a long way to go, however ... and information technology seems to be a boon to the process of lessening war.

The Question of how to play music - bagpiping in this instance - 2 full hours per week 3 times socially (so six steady social hours of play),

as fun

and (as kind of) as effortlessly (yay P) as Monday evenings' Open Band at St C's with SCDers in Berkeley (for me on piano)

 on pipes (for both of us)

in addition to daily fun play-playing comes to mind

... time for me to get some Scottish smallpipes for Mondays a little :)

The sheet music we play, which P distributes in email on the internet helps in many ways, and is adaptable for the Scottish smallpipes with chanters in A and D.


... just calling for leadership and innovation here :)


St Cs is a beautiful space, which makes a difference, and it's great to play with dancers.

Planets: Wow ... you heard Steeleye Span and Jethro Tull!, Great folk rock music from the 60s/70s, lucky these days to be able to be picky (e.g. with Pandora and Spotify) about what great music we can listen to by both those groups, Ode as poetry form, read Wordsmith and Keats since they are most likely to 'rock' for me?, How to bring a folk rock 'program' (computer programming metaphor) in contemporary Internetity (Information Age) parlance to Scottish Country Dance sheet music?, What's the "Hair: the Tribal Love Rock Musical" musical program?, Sheet music section here at the wiki Music School at WUaS, Friends, SFFM, WUaS as a kind of ministry even?, Heading for releasing meditation, Friend Edward Planetflight, Folk rock music and Programming wiki subjects at WUaS

Hi Donald, 

Wow ... you heard Steeleye Span as the opener for Jethro Tull live ... and at the Finchley Odeon in London in 1970. 

We're lucky these days to be able to be picky (e.g. with Pandora and Spotify) about what great music from the 60s and 70s we can listen to by both those groups, as well as, for example, the Grateful Dead :) Your mentioning the Finchley Odeon (which I had never heard of, but would probably have enjoyed hearing a concert in if I was around 15 in 1970, - which would have been around 1975 ... only found the Hammersmith Odeon in Google search) 

... made me wonder about the Ode as poetry form, and particularly beautiful ones, or even how one might write one through engaging the poetry (some I've written) and music I enjoy these days, and why the "Ode" achieved form status - was this in ancient Greek times? 

I'll probably likely read some by Wordsmith and Keats since they are most likely to 'rock' for me ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ode :)

I'm wondering how to bring a folk rock 'program' (computer programming metaphor) in contemporary Internetity (Information Age) parlance, to Scottish Country Dance sheet music with the Open Band and a core group of musicians in Berkeley who probably may have all enjoyed this music in the 70s - and particularly Steeleye Span's morphing into our own, for me. Who knows, but we may explore this with time. How to make old song (English, Scottish?) and ballads 'rock' and with particular SF Bay musicians, and for dancers and dancing, too :)?

What's the "Hair: the Tribal Love Rock Musical" musical program applied to Scottish Country Dance music? {A lot of interesting tribes emerged out of the 1960s and 1970s ... in the British Isles, in the States, e.g. Rainbow gathering, and all over the world ... }

Pandora lists key aspects of different groups and musicians' musics, as a beginning answer to this, in their notes to each song that play on handheld smartphones on one of their free radio stations that listeners can create.

Great and different and free (with sometimes too much advertising) ...

Pandora - 

http://www.pandora.com/

Spotify -

https://www.spotify.com/

...'programs' for folk rock ... hmmm ... that people can play in musical groups? Musical scores and sheet music, now in creative and generative digital forms ?

There's a beginning sheet music section here at the wiki Music School at WUaS, which we all can add to ...

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School#World_University_and_School_Links ... as well as to other Music subjects at WUaS. 

What might be the best way to talk further with you and other Friends about the FJ article, SFFM and WUaS, in a way that might benefit all of SFFM with time, and even as a kind of f/Friendly/NtF 'ministry'?

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your engaging Harvard talk today - "Pop-Up Learning: The Future of MOOCs and Online Education" ... http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/04/young ... with an introduction by Harvard Law Professor Charles Nesson. I want to let you know also about Creative Commons' licensed (so free), MIT-centric, online World University and School, which is like Wikipedia with MIT OCW, with plans for online, university degrees (bachelor, Ph.D., law and medicine, as well as high school International Baccalaureate diplomas) in large languages, - and wiki schools in all 7,105 languages and 242 countries; Wikipedia, by way of comparison, is in 287 languages and we all wrote it, and MIT OCW has around 2,150 courses in English, and is in at least 8 non-English languages.

Here's WUaS's blog - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/.

We're still in the startup phase, incorporated in California as a nonprofit in 2010, are C.C. and are planning to matriculate our first, undergraduate class of high achievers online in autumn 2015, hiring graduate student instructors to teach to MIT faculty in MIT OCW video, - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/audio-video-courses/ - in Google Hangouts engaging the conference method - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning.

The wiki aspect of WUaS allows for a great deal of creative potential in terms of open teaching and learning, and WUaS's MIT- as well as great universities-focus facilitates kinds of high-achieving intellectual, as well as STEM-centric, discourse; see, for example: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects.

WUaS would like to become the Harvard / MIT of the Internet and in all languages and countries.

All the best,
Scott
