Hi M,

How's your day going?

I learned something new just now, that Bonobos chimpanzees do hunting parties, where I thought the evidence until showed they were peaceful. Fascinating, and posted much about this here in 5 Tweets just now - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/984931873603313664 - mostly of a literature review of the WWW, - and with specific Google search questions, which you'll see if you look at these 5 Tweets. Changes some my thinking about a number of things (Bonobos, non-harming primate species, hippy chimp, some of Frans de Waal's primatological interpretations) ... and re Quakers, too. I appreciate Quakers' thinking as a collective about peace with social justice, and there's even a wiki subject about this - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Peace_and_Social_Justice_Studies - at wiki World University and School.

Am glad Bob Harrington MD is the chair of Stanford Medicine too, and that he knows Chris Granger MD and John Alexander MD, from when Bob was a cardiologist too at Duke.

L,
Scott

Hello M,

Made a flood gate robot yesterday, where a motor opens a gate, in Lego yesterday (the "Prevent Flooding" project in Lego WeDo 2.0). Making these is fun. Much potential for college engineering from home with this even eventually and at WUaS. Also saw a home CRISPR gene editing kit for yeast (into machine learning) , and a moleculuar chemistry (Larry's field) Lego kit in new materials out of MIT. All three might eventually be suitable for a home undergraduate MIT-centric education.

Good WUaS monthly business meeting this morning with L.

Glad to have just gotten an email from D ... the bass player in the Allman Bros' video I sent all of you too ( https://youtu.be/yB-7YnSgv1A - The Allman Brothers Band - HD (40th Anniversary - Full Concert) ) is a Sidwell Friends' school (Quaker high school in Washington DC) graduate :) ... nice to have received this email especially when feeling .

What are you up to and how are you?

how many atoms are in the brain? About 1.35 x 10^26 atoms. That might be 10% low because carbon replaces oxygen in fatty tissue, and carbon is a little lighter, so there are more carbon atoms per gram.

"walking" and "ambling" are traveling / mobility words - part of many people's definition of tourism ... but not used in the context of a realistic virtual earth / Harbin often yet ... or language-wise in virtual worlds ... and re visiting, for example, the Harbin Hot Springs' gate here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~

And re visiting heritage (UNESCO WHS and other) in each of all ~200 countries' official/main languages virtually - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - in these major online MIT OCW-centric universities? How best to scale & grow this?

Quakers, nontheist Friends and Sexuality?

Greetings, Friends,

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the work of David Boulton which is where I would start. I attach

key ideas I’ve identified in “Real Like the Daisies or Real Like I Love You: Essays in Radical Quakerism.” Key for me. Peggy

Greetings, Peggy, David and f/Friends,

+++++++

WOW and THANKS Scott!

Friends, note how most of the sexuality resources listed are OLD. I stopped facilitating workshops at FGC when there were too few registered for one on the parent’s role in education children re sexuality.

I DO like my article on Friend’s leadership re sexuality in “ Friends Face the World.” Eric Johnson’s 1980 FGC Keynote declared “we must unlearn that sex is a natural act- in fact we learn we are going to express our sexuality.”

Similar thinking to Boulton’s on how we learn our idea of God. The enthusiasm for Eric’s talk was so great that following it Eric and I facilitated 3 huge afternoon workshops!! What are Friend’s saying NOW about sexuality? Peggy Brick

*

Hi Peggy,

Nontheist Friends/atheist Quakers on this email list haven't written very much about sexuality over the years that I can recall. I did a quick search in my gmail on "NtFs and sexuality" and noticed on July 5, 2012 in a thread (which thread extends from July 2012 into May of 2013) on "[NTF-talk] Bonobo Culture," this email touching on sexuality, for example:

Hi Sergey,

Greetings from FGC. I'd recommend de Waal's book as well.

Here's a recent email of mine to this nontheist Friends' email list,
which I added to my blog -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2012/06/double-helix-thoughts-about-evolution.html
.

And I've added other emails to this NtF list with thoughts about what
NtFs might learn from Bonobo here (haven't explored vice versa yet)
here -

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Bonobo%20chimpanzees

and here -

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/nontheist%20Friend .

And here's World University and School's Bonobo chimpanzee page for
further (somewhat academic) idea sharing, including videos, about
Bonobos -

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

It's the peace aspect of Bonobos - no known fatalities among them -
emerging via evolution by natural selection which I find so relevant
for Friends, and which I hope Quakers and NtFs might even learn from.
Is their 'peaceable kingdom' (the Congo isn't these days - it's a
republic with a fair amount of violence) because of their sexuality?

With f/Friendly greetings,
Scott

I recently learned, however, that Bonobo chimpanzees are not "peaceful" / pacific / non-harming - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/04/wetland-learned-something-new-that.html - as I had long thought the evidence suggested.

And while my blog does have a sexuality "label" - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/sexuality - and which may have cross-labels with the NtF label, for example, and my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book also focuses on questions of sexuality (and Quakers too) a bit because of all of the related Harbin Hot Springs workshops over the decades, such as the HAI / the Human Awareness Institute's "Love, Intimacy and Sexuality" workshops, for example - (visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate here in Street View ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ and "walk" down the road 4 miles into Middletown, CA ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) - sexuality and nontheist Friends/atheist Quakers might be an interest focus here in this NtF email list.

As you ask, Peggy:

"What are Friends saying NOW about sexuality?"

What are your thoughts about sexuality and f/Friends/Quakers these days, Peggy?

(I'm particularly interested in questions of cultivating what I'm calling loving bliss neurophysiology and Quakers/NtFs in these regards).

Peggy, did we overlap at Pendle Hill sometime between 1987 and about 1990? :)

Friendly cheers, Scott

Harvard Quaker Chaplains, John Bach, and the 1960s

https://chaplains.harvard.edu/people/john-bach

Dear nontheist f/Friends,

I just came across the Quaker chaplain at Harvard:

https://chaplains.harvard.edu/people/john-bach

John Bach, Quaker Chaplain at Harvard

https://youtu.be/zR8QjQxosEs

John Bach, Quaker Chaplain at Harvard

https://youtu.be/htNpQ_O-WHs

John Bach ’69

I arrived at Wesleyan in 1965, in the midst of the dirtiest little war imaginable, as part of the first class under the admission policy of John Hoy—a man who really rocked the boat, bringing in a lot of minorities and taking chances on a lot of interesting people whose SAT scores might not have immediately qualified them for a Little Three education.

http://thisiswhy.wesleyan.edu/home/story_detail/255

He's also the Friend-in-Residence at Cambridge Friends' Meeting.

I wonder how he would share about / teach about nontheist Friends, if Harvard students might have questions about NtFs, their thinking about atheism and Quakers, or if members of the Harvard community might want to talk about nontheism among Friends, for example.

Chaplaincy at Harvard also seems to have a pastoral care / mental health / psychotherapy focus. (I just blogged yesterday about this - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/04/aeschynanthus-harvard-college-students.html - with an hour-long video from Harvard experts focusing on counseling for college students - and re World University and School and the opportunity to offer psychotherapy and study this too rigorously and academically, in all ~200 countries' official / main languages).

What would be flourishing NtF mental health, I wonder - and re John Bach's first video, for example, in his role as Quaker Harvard chaplain?

He also seems to be a bit of a hippy, having gone to Wesleyan in 1965 (and graduated in 1973).

Quite a diverse group of chaplains there - https://chaplains.harvard.edu/people - and there have been chaplains at Harvard since the 1630s, I think. As I listen to some of these Harvard chaplains of diverse faiths on internet video, the language of these faith traditions is fascinating, smart, diverse, and can be theistic. (Just re-tweeted this Harvard Mormon chaplain's video - https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod/status/987066376677281792 ).

If a John Bach wanted to find out more about nontheistic Friends in his role as Harvard Quaker chaplain, because a student had asked him about NtFs re the student's personal search, what would NtFs John read? The Nontheist Quakers' Wikipedia page - - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontheist_Quakers - in English and Spanish (which are very different articles)?

He also seems to be a bit of a hippy, having gone to Wesleyan in 1965 (and graduated in 1973).

I wouldn't say that dropping out of Wesleyan after your sophomore year, awaiting a draft notice in France, returning and refusing induction (and getting a three-year expense-paid vacation at a Federal prison) and then returning to graduate was exactly what hippies were doing in those days!

A remarkable story.

The history of hippies in the '60s/'70s, Quakers and conscientious objectors is interesting, possibly sometimes harrowing, and something I learn from.

Friendly cheers, Scott

*
I was comparing John Bach did with what my brother, who is almost the same age, was doing. My brother dropped out of college, went to New York, joined up with a bunch of hippies in the East Village, dropped a bunch of acid, smoked a bunch of pot (fortunately didn't go any further drugwise) and eventually moved with his girlfriend and their child to the country. So that's what I imagine when I think "hippies".

This was about the same time that my wife and I started attending meeting (although I'd had considerable experience with Quakers when I was young and attended, of all things, the Quaker worship group at Wesleyan, from which I graduated in 1962 and where I served as an instructor in 1964-65, just before John Bach came on campus...I had just finished my degree and moved to Texas so John and I did not overlap.) The Quakers and the Unitarians in Austin Texas were the only groups seriously working against the Vietnam war in 1967 when we started attending, and my earlier experience with Quakers made Friends Meeting the obvious choice for us.

I'd be interested to hear more about hippie/Quaker connections; I wasn't really aware of them at the time.

Bill

I'm not aware of any books or writings about this, but I'd posit that numerous connections grew and flourished re Friends and hippies in the '60s and 70s. I'm curious too to learn further about this. I could see a wide range of trajectories (book-wise, thesis-wise) that this could take.

I could also see a wide range of trajectories that connections grew and flourished re Friends and hippies in the '60s and '70s could take in an unfolding realistic virtual earth (think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth), if people started, for example, to convert film/video from the 1960s/'70s into an interactive 3D virtual earth and then patched this together - as a new form of history even (as methodology etc). (Such a video-to-realistic-3D-virtual-earth-with-avatar bots computer application / program isn't written yet). Doing this might even allow us to re-live / re-experience hippies and Quakers in the '60s/'70s. I kind of "go there" actually in watching/listening to the Harvard Quaker chaplain John Bach. :)

Hi M,

Reading the 1) "The Fellowship of the Ring" again (the first book in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings' trilogy, and 2) "The Wright Brothers."

The first I'm reading with a kind of delight in Tolkien's language, and agrarian vision of England around 1900 - and asking myself philosophically almost: why does this tale of a journey taken by made-up creatures appeal so much again and again? There's something philosophical in the writing in which I learn a kind of wisdom, or way of thinking about wisdom. It's on a very human scale (with imaginative characters), about a ring, that in a way teaches me to be imaginative. And, in reading the second, McCullough's "The Wright Brothers," I'm asking myself: "how did these Ohioans get planes to fly, and technologically?" Bicycle shop parts and mechanical knowledge (and other mechanically-oriented businesses, such as a printing shop), experimenting with some early French attempts and their very early "knowledge" of flight (re balloon-ing too), as a kind of Wright-brothers' riffing even, into multiple attempts in North Carolina, and learning by trial and error. In 1903, they successfully flew the first fixed wing, powered, heavier-than-air airplane near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

(Found this great reading too by Tolkien of "The Hobbit" from 1952 - https://twitter.com/openculture/status/987589168342552577 - http://www.openculture.com/2012/12/listen_to_jrr_tolkien_read_a_lengthy_excerpt_from_ithe_hobbiti_1952.html).

You might enjoy this letter below I just sent to Stanford President Emeritus Gerhard Casper (1992-2000) - And re getting World University and School to fly too. And Gerhard wrote back! ...

Dear Mr.MacLeod,

thank you for all the information. I am about to leave for Asia and won’t be able to get tithes for a while. But I will eventually.

Grüß Gott, Professor Casper,

It was very nice to meet and talk with you after your fascinating talk and the edifying panel at the Stanford Historical Society on Stanford's faculty senate - https://historicalsociety.stanford.edu/events/faculty-senate-fifty-years-academic-governance. Thank you. I lived in Munich for a year while I was studying at Reed College, attending classes both through the Reed program in Olympiazentrum, as well as at LMU (Ludwig Maximilian Universität).

You mentioned a question about the university you're helping with in Nuremberg, and developing online there, I think. What's in the mission of this University in Bavaria re online education? And per your panel yesterday, how would its faculty senate or parallel body of decision-makers focus this?

Cities need help with governance with A.I. per this Stanford Law CodeX fellow, Tony Lai - https://twitter.com/lai/status/987447040635559936. Perhaps countries do as well. And universities may also need help with teaching and research online, with A.I., machine learning, the blockchain ledger, robotics and other remarkable developments in the information technology age.

World University and School is like Wikipedia in its 299 languages with CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in 5 languages (https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/), and seeks to offer online university degrees in each of all ~200 countries' official main languages, as well as wiki schools for open teaching and learning in each of all 7,097 living languages (per Ethnologue). WUaS seeks to offer online Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D. as well as I.B. high school degrees - again in each of all ~200 nation states' official languages. While WUaS incorporated as a nonprofit in about 2011 in the U.S. and California, and seeks to accredit probably with WASC senior, which Stanford accredits with as well (see the Stanford and UC Berkeley accreditation pages here - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2018/04/apr-14-2018-agenda-for-world-univ-schs.html), WUaS may seek to develop faculty senates in each of all ~200 countries' official languages, partly to facilitate the creativity of different cultural / language approaches to learning at the university and high school levels, as well as related research. This would also potentially generate a remarkable cross-cultural / university conversation too.

To give you an idea of how WUaS works, here's the "Theories of Learning" wiki subject page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Theories_of_Learning (accessible here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) - and matriculated students will be able to take the MIT OCW courses in the top section for credit toward free online CC-4 degrees, at the undergraduate and the graduate levels. Classes would take place in Google group video Hangouts, for example, to facilitate the conference method / seminar approach to university education (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning) in new ways. MIT has neither a Law School nor a Medical School, so MIT OCW doesn't have CC-4 OpenCourseWare in any language in this fields, and WUaS will seek to develop this OCW in all ~200 countries' languages, perhaps in conjunction with the New England Journal of Medicine's course ware for continuing education, and with Project ECHO and Google's Project Baseline, for online WUaS medical schools with online teaching hospitals for clinical care.

To give you an idea of how multiple languages will work at WUaS, see this Youtube video - https://youtu.be/aSWzQUH4xfw - (accessible from

https://www.youtube.com/WorldUnivandSch). This video touches on these two Wikipedia Romanian language pages as examples:

Romanian_language - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_language

Limba română - https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limba_rom%C3%A2n%C4%83

And World University and School's "front end" Miraheze Mediawiki - e.g. https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/German_language (but which isn't in German yet) - is the same information technology as Wikipedia's "front end" (which anyone can edit).

WUaS donated ourselves to Wikidata / Wikibase for co-development in 2015, and as a consequence got this new wiki (eg the links above) in 2017. And Wikidata / Wikibase is the "back end" of Wikipedia as a structured knowledge database in 288 active languages with language communities. Many Wikidata developers are based in and around Berlin, and Wikidata is a chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation, based in SF.

The wiki side of WUaS may also be a kind of laboratory for sharing best teaching and learning, and research, approaches, on which any university could draw (cities and countries too) - for A.I., machine learning, robotics and other developments in the information technology age. And it also could be developed as such.

WUaS is also planning to develop a realistic virtual earth/universe for STEM research and as a classroom: think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Brain / TensorFlow AI software / Google Translate plus. And WUaS is already also in Google Education.

While World University and School would like to become the Harvard / MIT / Stanford / Oxbridge of the Internet in each of all ~200 countries' official languages, and as wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 8,475 languages (entries in Glottolog), attracting highest achieving students studying from their homes in all ~200 countries (per the Olympics) will be part of this process. And since MIT OCW is CC-4 licensed, allowing for A) sharing, B) adapting but C) non-commercially, students around the world would get a MIT education for free. And Germany too would get MIT in German for free, in a sense.

So I'm writing to inquire, Stanford President Emeritus Casper, if you would be available to communicate further about all of this - and re the university you're helping to develop in Germany - and be willing too please to entertain the idea of becoming World University and School's first president of two faculty senates - the English-speaking WUaS - e.g. https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_language (eventually to become "USA World Univ & Sch" - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/United_States_of_America - or perhaps "America WUaS") - initially available from all ~200 countries over the internet, and Germany World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Germany - planed in the German language (so "Deutschland WUaS" or "Deutschland Welt Universität und Schule," oder irgendwie ähnlich) ?

I feel honored to have met you, and thank you so much for your great vision re the Stanford faculty senate, and sharing of your practical experience and knowledge as Stanford President Emeritus in these regards yesterday.

Thank you.

Alles Gute,

Scott

Hi Non-Theist Friends,

By way of comparison, here are some "language" resources from voices that are paralleling NtF's (mostly British/Anglo-centric) re non-theism that I've come across recently:

While this conversation about non-theism seems to be flourishing in recent years, both re religion and philosophy, evolutionary biology and film-wise, I'm particularly interested in Friendly discourse about atheistic Quakerism with a focus on language and culture, but also evolutionary biologically and brainchemistry-wise. The British focus above, and our NtF somewhat British-American focus (re "place" too), leaves open another ~200 countries and their languages, and their possible NtF discourses about nontheist Friends (not to mention diversity).

But while engaged debate can be interesting about N-tQ (atheist Quakerism, for some), I'm appreciative of the centering down of friendly Silent Meeting (as neurophysiology too), and the community and language that emerges from this, but am also interested in an ongoing way in a NtF language of eliciting the neurophysiology of loving bliss ... "the valley of love and delight" to quote an old Quaker/Shaker hymn {"Simple Gifts"}.

All this said, there's further language out there with which to come into conversation ... and to grow our NTFriendly / Non-theistic Friendly conversation. :)

Sincerely,

Scott

[NTF-talk] the "justification" of Non-Theist Quaker thought

*

Thanks, too, Anita and Victor, for your good thoughts,

I'd like to add that, for me, in Quaker senses, my A) conscience leads me to (f/Friendly) non-theism (i.e. evidence-wise), - and that I'm a bit of a B) conscientious objector to the idea of theism, and related translations here, that C) "this I know experimentally/experientially" too (George Fox) - and further as I think about questions of non-theism, - and also as a kind of D) "seeker of the truth" (re early Friends too) ... and re E) George Fox's "What canst thou say?" ... the A-E letters referring to kind of Quaker ideas'"justifications" writ contemporary.

Cheers, Scott

Excellently put! Thanks.

Anita Bower

Thanks, Anita, and nontheist f/Friends,

Would like to add, thinking-wise (and in a f/Friendly manner), that I don't think one/humans can know whether the "divine" exists or not, philosophically and logically, so I guess I'm a bit of an agnostic on these questions of non-theism too, since I agree. A friend, George Alexander MD (who's wife/widow is a Quaker - he's deceased), who introduced me to the idea of Nontheist Friends, and was very articulate about his reasons for his nontheism (and with reasons for why religion is so problematic), introduced me to this reasoning, which makes sense. Dawkins uses the word nontheism in his talk with Cardinal Pell in Australia (from a recent NtF email I sent) - which "DEBATE: Atheist vs Christian (Richard Dawkins vs Cardinal George Pell)" you'll find here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/04/reinefjorden-ntf-talk-some-language-of.html ... and Richard Dawkins is also an "agnostic" he says in this video, interestingly. George Alexander had some Friendly inclinations.

Friendly regards, Scott

a) MIT is not affiliated with, & does not endorse, World Univ & Sch b) MIT does not offer credit to WUaS students, & c) All MIT OpenCourseWare materials are available for free through http://ocw.mit.edu. MIT OCW has asked WUaS to post this where we mention MIT OCW such as here: http://worlduniversityandschool.org.

For WUaS to be free in any proposal, MIT OCW’s CC-4 license - Creative Commons License - Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) - means that MIT OCW can be A) shared, B) adapted, but C) not commercially).

Project Description:

Goals:

Beginning with 100+ matriculating undergraduate students online this autumn 2018 in English, WUaS will graduate its first class of approximately 100 undergraduate students in 4 years for free OCW-centric Bachelor degrees, taking about 40 MIT OCW courses from their homes.

Accredit World University and School at the Bachelor’s level with Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

Recruit ~100 17-18 year old students for 2018-2019 for free OCW online 4-year accrediting Bachelor degrees.

Increase number of majors beyond the current six.

Keep attrition below 5% in 2018-2019.

Recruit, train and retain about 20 instructors.

Methods:

One graduate student or post doc will teach a class of five-ten undergraduate students over two semesters, teaching “sections” to OCW faculty members in video.

Make available one-on-one tutoring in videoconferencing for students performing below grade level for two days per week for one year, plus tutoring upon request.

Platforms:

MIT OCW (in 5 languages eventually)

Google Education

Wiki subjects at World University and School -

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects

Staffing:

20 instructors / tutors

Admissions’ team

Project coordinators for each of 6 initial majors, in addition to the ~20 instructors

Accreditation liaison

Partnerships:

N/A at this time

Evaluation:

Publicly available CC-4 MIT OCW-centric exams, papers and tests online

Student folders with progressive work samples

Volunteers and staff wiki development to evaluate and record the successful procedures and the obstacles encountered

Surveys to students, instructors, and volunteers regarding their learning experience satisfaction, etc.

Sustainability:

Grant writing

Raise monies to hire online instructors, tutors and staff for these 100+ matriculating undergraduate students online this autumn 2018 in English-speaking CC-4 MIT OCW-centric online Bachelor degrees

Funding for initial accreditation

Future support will be sought from other government agencies

Hi Megan and Bob,

Thanks for your excellent Stanford Africa Table "Human Papillomavirus Screening in Rural Zimbabwe" talk today - http://events.stanford.edu/events/774/77479/.

I'm writing to say hi, and to introduce you and Stanford Chair of Medicine Bob Harrington MD - https://profiles.stanford.edu/robert-harrington - to one another, since Bob and I talked in his office last autumn about World University and School's online medical schools with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care in each of ~200 countries' official/main languages (which I mentioned to you), and since you are a Stanford Medicine MD Pathology Resident, and are planning further medical research in Zimbabwe (and have even taken the Medical Boards in Zimbabwe, so know its medical system). Thanks too for replying, in response to my question, that Zimbabweans are hungry for medical education.

In the Q&A after your talk today, I asked further about ways in which your research on Human Papillomavirus Screening in Rural Zimbabwe might develop in Google/Verily's and Stanford and Duke's Project Baseline and eventually into a map for health for Zimbabweans. I'm curious how even Project Baseline (with Project ECHO) might emerge into online teaching hospitals for clinical care with online medical schools, in each of ~200 countries' official/main languages (which World University and School, which I'm developing, is planning). (Here are some Stanford video talks about Projects Baseline and ECHO, by Baseline's Chief Medical Officer Jessica Mega MD here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/mesic-habitat-stanford-surfacing-human.html - and by ECHO's founder Dr. Sanjiv Arora MD here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/06/torrubiella-stanford-grand-rounds.html - and with a compendium of related links here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/02/lithops-collaboration-between-stanford.html).

Bob is involved in Project Baseline from both Stanford and Duke perspectives, I think, since he's a former Duke cardiologist (along with his colleague and friend, Rob Califf MD, a co-founder of Project Baseline and Duke cardiologist, whom I heard talk and met recently at UCSF).

I hope online medical schools might emerge out of a Project ECHO environment (with its MD specialists to rural populations, in group video, with a mentoring aspect). Since you went to the University of New Mexico Medical School, and know of Project ECHO, I'm curious too, how we might move beyond its 140 diseases toward the 30,000 diseases (by one Google Search estimate) that may exist (if one takes a disease-centric approach to medicine). And perhaps, as I mentioned, the New England Journal of Medicine's continuing education modules (CME) can become the basis for at least the first 2 years of an online medical education, by translating this CME into all ~200 countries' official/main languages.

Concerning the realistic virtual earth for STEM research, I mentioned - think Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / Translate / TensorFlow / Brain - and at the cellular and atomic levels too, it would be fascinating to see how - possibly emerging out of Google's Project Baseline itself - online hospitals might emerge uniquely in this in the future, and even with avatar bots (that correspond to the 10,000 real participants in Project Baseline) for clinical care, research, bioengineering, genetic therapies, and eventually even actual-virtual remote tele-robotic surgery.

Zimbabwe World University and School's online Medical School for degrees - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with online teaching hospital - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - will emerge from Zimbabwe WUaS from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - in Zimbabwe's main languages.

(World University and School seeks to become the online Harvard / MIT / Stanford / Oxbridge of the Internet in each of all ~200 countries' main languages (and in all 7097 living languages as wiki schools) for online MD degrees, (as well as Ph.D, Law, Bachelor, and I.B. international baccalaureate high school diplomas).

In what ways might we explore some of this further re your, Megan, "Global Health Equity Scholars Fellowship: A consortium of UC Berkeley, Florida International University, Stanford & Yale" - https://ghes.berkeley.edu/fellows/2016-2017-fellows/u-s-fellows/megan-fitzpatrick-md/ ? And in what ways also might online cardiology and pathology develop with new foci in Project Baseline and in Project ECHO ... and even into a realistic virtual earth as medical schools, as teaching hospitals, and as STEM research field site?

And how best might we talk further about an online medical school with online teaching hospital for clinical care in Zimbabwe, Megan?

Looking forward to staying in touch about all of this, and thanks for your fascinating and important Zimbabwean medical research, and sharing it today at the Stanford Africa Table (I know fellow anthropologist and its Associate Director Laura Hubbard from UC Berkeley).

Thank you.

Sincerely, Scott

Hi Paris Writers' News/PWN, Markus, and Wikidatans,

Based on your example (http://tinyurl.com/yahwql2n), Markus, I'm seeking to learn how to do a similar query for all languages.

In Wikidata I found a Q item # for "language" - Q34770 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34770) - and plugged this into your query, replaced the word "countries" with "languages," etc. but didn't get a result, where your query yields 209 countries, Markus.

In a parallel way, how would one compute them from the names of the articles in Wikipedia?

Thanks,

Scott

...

Hi,

(English) DBpedia URIs are basically just (English) Wikipedia URIs with the first part exchanged. So one can compute them from the names of the articles. Example: a query for DBpedia URIs for all countries:

http://tinyurl.com/yahwql2n

"""
SELECT ?dbpediaId
WHERE
{
?item wdt:P31 wd:Q6256 . # for the example: get IDs for all countries
?sitelink schema:about ?item ;
schema:isPartOf <https://en.wikipedia.org/> .

BIND(URI(CONCAT("http://dbpedia.org/resource/",SUBSTR(STR(?sitelink),31))) as ?dbpediaId)
}
"""

Of course, depending on your use case, you can do the same offline (without requiring SPARQL to rewrite the id strings for you).

In theory, one could use federation to pull in data from the DBpedia endpoint, but in practice I could not find an interesting query that completes within the timeout (but I did not try for very long to debug this).

Best regards,

Markus

Over 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine, climate change and war in the greatest human displacement since World War II. Human Flow, an epic film journey led by the internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei, gives a powerful visual expression to this massive human migration. The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact.

Captured over the course of an eventful year in 23 countries, the film follows a chain of urgent human stories that stretches across the globe in countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, France, Greece, Germany, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, and Turkey. Human Flow is a witness to its subjects and their desperate search for safety, shelter and justice: from teeming refugee camps to perilous ocean crossings to barbed-wire borders; from dislocation and disillusionment to courage, endurance and adaptation; from the haunting lure of lives left behind to the unknown potential of the future. Human Flow comes at a crucial time when tolerance, compassion and trust are needed more than ever. This visceral work of cinema is a testament to the unassailable human spirit and poses one of the questions that will define this century: Will our global society emerge from fear, isolation, and self-interest and choose a path of openness, freedom, and respect for humanity?

In some ways, this film was quite Taoist ... and quite a change in representation of refugees from the last century ... there aren't many horrors portrayed in this film, I'm glad to say.

The film begins along a shore/beach on Lesvos, Greece, not far from Turkey, - and on a part of Lesvos which is quite close to Angela & Victor's Yoga Hall in Eftalou, which I've visited a number of times. Nice to see this stretch of the road.

I asked in Slide.com in the live Q&A with Ai Weiwei himself in Chicago (since this was live streamed to many universities in the US):

How could US citizen's help refugees with online education in all ~200 countries? (and in the refugees main languages)?

To internships ...

World University and School seeks to create large number of internships in all 7,097 living languages ...

Matriculated students from poor countries especially may get these Lego WeDo 2.0 and then Mindstorms EV3 robotics' kits in the mail, as part of a high school or eventually college degree program ...

People interested in World University and Schools' bookstore / computer store / robotics' stores, in each of 200 countries' official and main languages, first online, may begin with these Lego WeDo 2.0 and then Mindstorms EV3 robotics' kits, then move to the stores, either online or on-the-ground.

... again in all 7,097 living languages, and in all ~200 countries ...

*
On the wiki side of World University and School, perhaps pathways from this robotics' play into other kinds of internships online will emerge ...

Dear Marjorie,

Very nice to meet and talk with you afterward at your "The Children Are All Right Revisiting the Impact of Parental Migration in the Philippines" - http://events.stanford.edu/events/771/77143/ (http://aparc.fsi.stanford.edu/asiahealthpolicy/people/marjorie_pajaron) - and thank you for your excellent talk yesterday at Stanford.

Here are some wiki CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World University and School links related to what we talked about:

Philippines' World University and School -

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Philippines

The Tagalog language World University and School planned in Tagalog isn't yet made - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - but you or I could begin it, Marjorie.

The open license for translating CC-4 MIT OCW is at the bottom here - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/.

And these are the free CC-4 OCW resources from MIT with which to begin - https://ocw.mit.edu/.

World University and School would like to create an enormous number of academic jobs in the Philippines, as well as staff positions - as we seek to become the Stanford / MIT / Harvard of the Internet in each of all ~200 countries and their official/main languages. Do you know of anyone, or a consortium of Professors at the University of the Philippines who might be interested in growing this project?

These are all beginning schools, and WUaS hopes to move into a new wiki with the Wikidata "backend" database soon.

Looking forward to staying in touch about developing an online MIT OCW-centric University and high school for Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, and M.D. degrees, as well as I.B. - International Baccalaureate - diplomas, in Tagalog and other main languages in The Philippines.

Thanks for your talk.

All the best,

Scott

Hi Sabrina, (and Elly, Kiki, and Gay),

Thanks so much, Sabrina, for the confirmation for the Academic Press at World University and School at the Reed College Reunions' Marketplace - https://reunions.reed.edu/marketplace.html - in June 9th, 2018 in Portland, Oregon. And glad to see that you'll have books there Elly and Gay, and greetings, all!

The Reed marketplace webpage - https://reunions.reed.edu/marketplace.html - looks good re the books in the Academic Press at World University and School I'm planning to bring:

"Haiku-ish and Other Loving Hippy Harbin Poetry" (http://www.scottmacleod.com/HaikuishPoetryBook.html) and

"Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin"
(http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html)

As a FYI, I've added the Reed marketplace link here - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html - and a web archive link from last year's Reed Reunions' Marketplace (2017) - https://web.archive.org/web/20170510035319/https://reunions.reed.edu/marketplace.html. Both book links are here too on the Academic Press at World University and School's website - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html.

In many ways, the idea of my actual / virtual Harbin ethnographic book project is to visit Harbin virtually. Visit the Harbin Gate here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from here - https://twitter.com/HarbinBook) ~ where you can "walk" down the road 4 miles to Middletown, - and potentially in the future up to the Harbin pool area, and for ethnographic comparison, and even for eventual brain research into neural cascades of pleasure, for example. In addition I'd like to develop in conjunction with this a new STEM social science method I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy (all somewhat Reedie-informed :).

I've also created some Tweets about the Reed College Marketplace - and re the Academic Press at WUaS's books, and plans for many languages - with machine translation:

See you in June!

All the Best,
Scott

Hi Tim, Katherine, Lydia and Voidwalker (Denny, Markus and Magnus and All),

Katherine, thanks again to you and the panel for the vision in this video from Wikimania in 2017 - "Wikimedia 2030"https://youtu.be/Gdr2F8aB9y0 - and for talking about 7000 languages at about 44 minute mark (Anasuya Sengupta). (See, too: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/xerophyte-five-technologies-that-will.html and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/09/wikimedia-and-world-university-and.html). Thanks, too, Katherine, for your great Wikimedia movement strategic vision and thinking.

World University and School seeks to be in each of all 7,097 living languages (per Ethnolgue) as wiki schools, (and in 8475 entires in languages per Glottolog) - and a growth story for the Web ... and for "the sum of all knowledge."

Katherine I'm writing to reach out for further support, as I do in keeping in touch with you in occasional emails.

As you may know, WUaS donated itself to Wikidata for co-development in 2015, and as a consequence, WUaS received a new WUaS Miraheze Mediawiki in 2017 - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/ (per Lydia+).

Tim, could you possibly please help manage World University and School from a Mediawiki perspective, with Katherine's support?

As I emailed to you yesterday, Tim:

"Thanks for your email, Tim. Good to hear that it's a pretty ordinary request (it hasn't always felt this way) for MediaWiki tech support. As Wikitech lead/head, you have knowledge and skills that Voidwalker doesn't (https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T2276). Planning for and developing online law schools in all ~200 countries in their official/main languages and eventual medical schools with online teaching hospitals for clinical care too, and in Wikidata as well, will involve a lot of knowledge of Mediawiki / Wikidata/Wikibase. Thanks.

Regards, Scott
"

In addition, and what I didn't mention in my email to Katherine and All, WUaS seeks to develop in all 7,097 / 8,475 languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning - and with regards to Wikipedia's mission of "the sum of all knowledge."

But I wonder how to get the SUBJECT TEMPLATE working in Wikidata / Wikibase - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE. This hasn't happened in a number of years (in our new and old wikis), despite it possibly being a fairly ordinary tech support request, per your observation, Tim.

With Katherine and Lydia's support, could you, Tim, with Voidwalker, and potentially in conversation with Magnus, Markus and Denny re multiple languages in Wikidata please begin to focus the development of the WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE - which I think will be possibly an extra-ordinary tech support request. WUaS's pilot languages are Spanish, Chinese and German, and the other CC-4 MIT OCW translated courses' languages - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/. Wiki World Univ & Sch also seeks to keep planning for developing in Google's TensorFlow in mind, and with you Denny working at Google, - and WUaS will perhaps seek to develop a group out of Google in these regards, having communicated about World University and School also with Jeff Dean). In developing the WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE, WUaS also seeks to plan for coding for all 7.5 billion people in the world, as Universitians / learners/teachers and speakers in all 7,097 living languages - and as matriculated students for free CC-4 MIT OCW-centric university degrees in all ~200 countries' official languages.

Katherine, at the 38 minute mark here - https://youtu.be/Gdr2F8aB9y0 - the speaker mentions partnerships with universities. Would this be something to explore further in these regards as well? (World Univ & Sch is beginning the accreditation process with WASC senior).

Thank you, Scott

Hi Luca, Katherine and All,

In taking the next steps with adding languages to wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org and a WUaS - worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE - ...

e.g. Luca (earlier): I'm seeking to add this "Extension:CustomSidebar" -
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CustomSidebar - in order to be able to add a variety of languages to this sidebar (like in Wikipedia - eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontheist_Quakers - where there is one other language listed to the left - Espanol), but including the WUaS pilot languages of Chinese Spanish and German (since I know this and want to be able to develop WUaS in 2 languages), as well as Romanian (since you 3 speak Romanian as your first language). This will all inform the SUBJECT TEMPLATE that Void may help develop in Phabricator workflow space - worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE - with Wikidata as a backend too (like in the above Wikipedia example, although this Wikipedia example doesn't use a TEMPLATE). ...

I'm hoping people can take on some of the further information technological development of World University and School - on both of its WINGS - in all of Wikipedia's 295 languages and in MIT OCW's 7 languages to begin ... and there are many many steps ahead that all come together in complex ways ... including planning for Wikipedia's 295 languages with a WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE and with Wikidata ... and eventually all 7,099 languages, and newly an Academic Press at WUAS with machine translation, an Academic Bookstore ... and even the blockchain ledger (for health care and much more) / a CryptoCurrency and even a Universal Basic Income for 7.5 billion people ... let alone libraries/museums in all 8,444 entries in languages in Glottolog, and even finding form in a realistic virtual earth (think Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with TIME SLIDER and group build-able like Minecraft) ...

How might we best communicate please about all of this further? Thank youj.

Best regards, Scott

Hi, Luca and All,
Thanks, Luca, so much for your response about the new World University and School Miraheze Mediawiki - wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org - and the "503 Backend fetch failed" issues WUaS has been experiencing with it recently.
And thank you for re-opening "a task for this and [so as to] investigate what can be done to stop this." In doing so, could you (Miraheze Mediawiki with Wikidata as a "backend" - to which WUaS donated itself in Oct 2015) possibly please plan for avoiding such issues, and blockages, in each of all ~206 countries (per a recent Olympics) - and from this WUaS Miraheze Mediawiki wiki page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States (each of which will become a major CC MIT OCW-centric online university/high school, - so a Harvard/MIT/Stanford/Cambridge of the internet for free online degrees) - and in their official/main languages.
I was glad also to hear in this Wikimedia 2030 panel - https://youtu.be/Gdr2F8aB9y0 from August 2017 (accessible from here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/09/bee-orchid-claire-young-young-scots.html) - (and with you on this panel, Katherine!) the mention of Wikimedia thinking of/planning for developing in 7,000 languages, and also glad to hear Magnus Manske talking of MediaWiki coming together further (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/09/wikimedia-and-world-university-and.html).
So I wonder, in re-opening this task re preventing such "issues" whether Miraheze Mediawiki could also begin to plan for /anticipate wiki schools in each all 7,099 living languages (and per the recent Wikimania panel when 7k languages were mentioned - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/09/bee-orchid-claire-young-young-scots.html - again with the Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation, whom I'm including in this email).

WUaS is hoping to install the Miraheze Mediawiki Languages' Extension soon - and probably after this "issue" is resolved.

And yes, could WUaS please begin with a monthly backup of our WUaS data?

Thank you, Luca.

Sincerely,
Scott

I apologize that you are experiencing issues. This error usually happens very rarely, and in theory should not be happening. I will re-open a task for this and investigate what can be done to stop this. Please note that this error has nothing to do with your data, and it does not affect it. There should never be an issue, but if you would like a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly backup of your wiki, please let me know and I will set that up for you.

Hi Luca, and All,

I got this error message again just now, which I did before when I emailed you ... so this is a second time, and since it's happening with some frequency now, I'm a bit concerned, since the loss of the WUaS MediaWiki in Jan-Mar 2016 was a bit traumatizing for me ... I regained access to wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org quickly - but also recognize that securing reliability can be an involved process. What should I do about this please? (Wiki access to 295 languages is part of the World University and School plan). Thank you, Scott

Hi Luca / Reception123, and All,

I've only had one "not accessible" error message so far, and it happened today, for https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org and since the last WUaS MediaWiki from Jan-Mar 2016 only lasted for about 2 months, I'm proceeding gradually in these regards.

I'd like to add some version of all 295 Wikipedia/Wikidata/Wikibase languages next, anticipating potentially coding for both CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in its 7 languages, and CC-0 Wikisource, possibly even for a Bookstore / Academic Press with machine translation in all these languages, - so like the partial list of languages on the left here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page - probably. What would I do to add this language extension, please, Luca, particularly for Chinese, Spanish, German, the other CC MIT OCW languages (for for-credit courses) and perhaps the UN languages (including French and Russian), the 4 Swiss languages (including Italian and Romash), Scots' Gaelic, Romanian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, Japanese, Swahili and Zulu, for example?

I'd also like to begin to plan for a new SUBJECT TEMPLATE - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE (and a NATION STATE TEMPLATE as University template, and a LANGUAGES' TEMPLATE for wiki schools, eventually in all 7,099 living languages) - and while there's been some recent discussion on the Wikidata list about templates here - "[wikicite-discuss] Deletion nomination of Template:Cite Q on English Wikipedia" - I wonder how best to proceed in these regards. What would you suggest in this regard, please, Luca, as well? Examples of Templates from early 2016 below, where nothing much has changed in my planning or thinking - except that WUAS still also seeks to build in Wikidata at a very early stage, which WUaS didn't do in early 2016.

Dario, in responding to your recent Tweet post about Elsevier, here's a recent blog post of mine - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/09/white-bellied-heron-wide-open-field-for.html - about Wikipedia's competitive advantages in these regards, that seem worth planning for.

Julian, would you be able, with assistance, to begin to build out online CC-0 bookstores / Academic Presses from these emergent technologies potentially - and planning for 295 languages, and eventually an on-the-ground bookstore/academic press near the greatest university in each of all ~200 countries to begin? (Luca is based in Romania too, and speaks Romanian).

Thank you,
Scott

Hi Luca (Lydia, Denny, Markus, and Dario),

Thanks so much, Luca, for your many good suggestions!

I'll check out - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CustomSidebar - and many of your other good Miraheze information technologies, and re these previous beginning attempts at "Languages" and "Nation States" at WUaS:

In a Stanford Law Codex presentation (with Stanford Law Professor Roland Vogl) two weeks ago, I met MIT"s and lawyer Dazza Greenwood, who's leading Blockchain development in Cambridge, MA.

With World University's planned WIKI Law Schools (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Law_School), Medical Schools (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Medical_School), and online Teaching Hospitals (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hospital) in all countries' official languages, and clinical trials (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages))

... planning for Blockchain (and Bitcoin) at this stage has much merit.

Here's an explanation of Blockchain's potential which I found helpful re health care data: "Why Blockchain is a Game Changer for the Health                                                       Industry" - https://twitter.com/GerdMoeBehrens/status/899024693050695680 (posted here recently - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch) - and WUaS's "You at WUaS" and Teaching "Hospitals" and "Clinical Research" are planning for all 7 billion+ people on the planet database-wise.

WUaS is also planning an online Academic Press - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - in all 7,099 living languages with robust machine translation (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Academic_Press_at_World_University_and_School) and similarly an online Bookstore, and potentially coding these with CC-0 Wikisource (per Lydia) in Wikipedia's 295 languages. All of this would integrate with Blockchain and Bitcoin in all ~200 countries, and the WUaS law students (and Computer Science Ph.D. students) in all ~200 countries' official languages could help code for this in their countries' legal system.

Thank you,

Scott

Hi Luca (and Lydia, Denny, Dario and Markus),
Thank you again - and particularly for your helpful and encouraging responses to my questions about the new - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/ - which is coming along nicely.
Eventually WUaS will seek to have machine translation available on this wiki, especially in that WUaS seeks to create an universal translator in all 7,099 living languages (for text, voice, for an academic press in all languages, potentially integrated with CC-0 Wikisource, and in a realistic virtual earth - and for (Google?) brain research even), but not yet.
Re Languages - which are WUaS's first and foremost area (of about 10 areas) ... worlduniversityandschool.org (each planned, in that language, as a wiki school or a major university i.e. Harvard/MIT/Stanford) - it would be great to be able to just list all 295 languages in Wikipedia in the left column of WUaS's new wiki, and also plan for all 7,099 living languages (in Ethnologue), 8,444 entries in languages                                                       (in Glottolog), the languages of the ISO 639+ and then make it possible for an academic linguistic researcher or a computational linguist, for example, to add other ones they find or invent etc. (... similarly for WUaS Nation States, each to become a major university in their official / main languages).
Would it be possible please to just begin creating "Languages" and ~200 (Olympics?) "Nation States' lists in the left column, soon-ish? ("Nation States" would be in English and their official/main languages again, to start).
In the meantime, I'll explore using the language tag you suggest - "" ...

Dear Larissa, Roland and John,

Thanks, Larissa, for your fascinating Stanford Law School "Privacy Law in Brazil Matters" talk - https://law.stanford.edu/event/lst-lunch-event/ - with a photo here:

- https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/991812218277658625

How to develop Brazil internet privacy law in relation to the other ~200 countries? I asked this in your talk relative to the your above slide on how Brazil creates law.

In developing CC-4 wiki MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School, WUaS seeks to create major online universities in all ~200 countries - e.g. Brazil World University and School ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Brazil - in their official/main languages i.e. https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Portuguese_language (and eventually in Portuguese). WUaS seeks to offer online, free-to-students CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school degrees - again in Portuguese.

For example, here's the Brazil Law School at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Brazil_Law_School_at_WUaS (also not yet in Portuguese) - but MIT doesn't have a law school (or a medical school), so I'm curious about the possibility of creating OpenCourseWare out of Stanford Law (and Stanford Medicine) similar to Creative Commons 4 licensed MIT OCW in 5 languages with undergraduate and graduate courses. And MIT OCW - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - was in Portuguese until recently - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/portuguese/ - and which is now accessible in archive.org - https://web.archive.org/web/20170805220327/https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/portuguese/ .

And WUaS would like to teach in our Brazil Law School at WUaS how privacy law is created - relative to how law is created in the other ~200 countries' official languages - and under one WUaS Law Schools'"umbrella."

Would it be possible, Roland, to talk to the Brazilian / Portuguese language Stanford Law students, who were there, about this?

I was sitting next to John Engelen (email above) in your talk, who's from Indonesia, and a friend, and it could be fascinating to explore something here in tandem - in Portuguese and Indonesian, and in Brazil and Indonesia, too. Courses and degrees are planned in group video and online.

How best to explore these questions further, Larissa? Thanks again for your fascinating talk, and nice to talk with you afterward as well.

Thank you.

Best, Scott

Hi Roland,

Thanks again for your Feb 9th email here.

I registered this morning for this event with SLS Alum Larissa Galimberti on "Privacy Law in Brazil" today at 12:45 - https://law.stanford.edu/event/lst-lunch-event/ - but couldn't find the event when I came over to SLS. It didn't appear to be in 180 or 190 or upstairs either. (Are there two room 180s I wonder now, afterward?). I also appear to be no longer on the Stanford Law CodeX email list (but perhaps there are no meetings this quarter).

I'm writing to follow up on your Feb 9 '18 email and invitation to "chat after one of our upcoming CodeX meetings?"

(I'm glad to say that WUaS successfully filed both the Statement of Information for A) SI-100 for non-profit 501 c 3 World University and School, and for the newly forked B) SI-550 for the for profit general-stock WUaS Corporation, both of which are planned in all ~200 countries and their official/official languages, the first A) as major online CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric universities/high schools, and the second B) as educational services companies, - and indeed in all 7097 living languages as both A) wiki schools for open teaching and learning, and B) academic markets. WUaS got the PDF "receipts" for this these filings yesterday, Monday, April 30, 2018.

I was glad too to meet and talk with former Stanford President Emeritus Gerhard Casper at a Stanford Historical Society meeting recently, and to exchange some emails with him re World University and School too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/04/alps-2-faculty-senates-for-america.html . Although World University and School is STEM-centric and secular, WUaS also is also Quaker / Friends' informed in its beginnings which could relate to the "tithes" word that Professor Gerhard Casper uses here, for example. Do you happen to know each other?

Since I'm not coming to CodeX meetings any more, is there another time we might chat?

Thank you.

Best,

Scott

Richard, (and Bobby),

Excellent talk on marketing bitcoin in China, and its target audiences (I'd say), yesterday by Bobby Lee - "What's Next for Blockchain in China?" http://events.stanford.edu/events/774/77403/.

Curious how translation into various Chinese languages might help the talk further on the Web.

Seems like Bobby C Lee could be a great contact in China re Stanford coding networks and even for a kind of MIT Digital Currency Initiative / Google-centric online cryptocurrency with block chain initiative (if one particular cryptocurrency emerges - I'd put my money on Bitcoin as brand, with ~200 countries' federal banks' backing), and even in planning for an Universal Basic Income for 7.5 billion people (where the Chinese government, as a nation state would help with the Chinese 1.4 billion people in this project - and as a way to spread a cryptocurrency universally, ie what comes after the dollar or the Euro, etc.).

Seems like the Stanford Law China Guiding Cases' Project (with about only 87 Supreme court rulings so far, last time I checked, where Stanford Law CGCP translates them into English and advises the Beijing Supreme Court in Chinese, as I understand the project) ... Would be interesting to bring the Stanford Law CGCP into such a conversation too about the above possibilities.

WUaS hopes to facilitate translation as well as have law schools in each of all ~200 countries' official languages - and to write much of the code here.

Thank you,

Scott

Hi Ajit, Peter and Friends,

Thank you for this invitation, Ajit. Who here is from Tamil Nadu? (My friend VJ above lives in the Silicon Valley area, and went to Carnegie Mellon University in Computer Science, and we know each other from Scottish Country Dancing:). Would you all be interested in setting up a business within the Google Ecosystem - i.e. an Academic Press at World University and School with eventual machine translation, for example, Hindi < > English (plus in all languages - an universal translator for a Press), and an online and later on-the-ground, all-languages' bookstores / computer stores / robotics' stores.

I'm holding a World Univ & Sch Hangout about some of this on Monday, May 7th too - at 10 am Pacific Time/ 5pm UTC/GMT - which is 3 hours after your Hangout, Ajit, and right before Peter's German Hangout. I'm emailing you directly to invite you to the WUaS Hangout this Monday, May 7th at 10 am Pacific Time - http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/. I'll invite you again on Monday morning from the Hangout itself. Here are the announcements for this:
