Peter,

Not planning today's party creatively as a garden party online too in about 5 hours online this time ... and only about 2 families and their very young children have RSVPed ... but these parents are from Japan and Italy, and China and Russia ... and I hope they will become facilitators of World Univ and Sch online in their native languages and countries. .. Shall we explore another Garden Party with a virtual party too in LightStream in the future?

Amazingly precise evolutionary biological adaptation of hummingbird hawkmoth pollinating / feeding on flowers, as mutualism adaptation ...

"Hummingbird hawkmoth drinking from Dianthus, with pollination being a classic example of mutualism" -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutualism_(biology)

"... it feeds on flowers which have tube-shaped corollae.^[7] It should not be confused with the moths called hummingbird moths in North America, genus Hemaris, members of the same family and with similar appearance and behavior. The resemblance to hummingbirds is an example of convergent evolution."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummingbird_hawk-moth

This Gary Snyder quote came up in these regards:

The wild - often dismissed as savage and chaotic by "civilized" thinkers, is actually impartially, relentlessly, and beautifully formal and free.

Am liking Eric Dodson's 10 top signposts of wisdom (at 21 minutes):

Top 10 Indicators of Wisdom by Eric Dodson:

10. Kindness, compassion & generosity

9. Appreciation and gratitude

8. The ability to hold things loosely

7. Balance

6. Playfulness, humor and laughter

5. Spontaneity and creativity

4. Adventure, verve and passion

3. Curiosity and openness

2. Inhabiting the moment fully

1. Panoramic awareness and holism

(in his "Wisdom and Education" video - https://youtu.be/hBa7rGQXupU)

Eric Dodson on 10 indicators of wisdom -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/andean-cock-of-rock-wisdom-education-by.html. I'm appreciative and also how he doesn't take them or himself that seriously in his video (echoes of Lacanian psychiatrist and family friend George Alexander MD here for me interestingly, and Eric lived in Pittsburgh PA from about 1987-1996 as he got his Ph.D. in psychology from Duquesne University).

Warmly, Scott
much about this too from Friday 10/20 here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/grevillea-re-post-honey-in-bag-scottish.html -

Dear Larry,

Re WUaS MBM today, am wondering too about the hotmail email addresses and planning for 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item number - for a variety of reasons. These are probably one of the largest collections of all emails in the world. (FB is also right up there, along with Gmail ... )

Sincerely, Scott

Dear Larry,

Some further WUaS ideas, as I get out the Minutes ...

3,000 educational services' on-the-ground or brick and mortar stores in 10 years - correlating with online stores emerging from Tensor Flow machine learning software, and into an end-of-the-day stock price for the WUaS Corporation in most of all ~200 countries, as well as WUaS employees being able to do their taxes with TurboTax in many of same countries' languages .. and with brainstorming-wise the "Mine Pi" cryptocurrency ... ?

Hoping to outline an undergraduate CS degree based on MIT OCW ... thinking in terms of Chunyu Ou ... (who visited Canyon last night) ... and originally is from China (2012) ...

What the person (Sean Zirkel?) who read me the letter, at Stanford Medicine CDH after the FDS'a Dr. Amy Abernethy's talk, said was that they'd/Stanford would let me know when I could come back ... (sounds like it could be John Hennessy's language) ... am curious about the legality of Stanford in a number of regards here.

And I think whistle-blowing re conscientious objection (Quaker informed too) is a kind of speaking truth to power (in 4-6 ways in recent years), - and here potentially allows a Stanford, for ex., to improve ... re the communication transparency ...

Late July?, Koh Fujinaga who also visited here in Canyon 94516 last night at a party I had quite explicitly left a chips' bag on the table last night when they left at 1:30 am with brand name 'Late July' on it ... Could this have anything to do symbolically with funding for World Univ & Sch eventually, or becoming financially operational, or UCSF engagement with WUaS perhaps? ... Koh's also an adjunct Professor at UCSF ... (re how things scheduling-wise might work out best for health insurance, and for related ancillary planning processes e.g. pensions, hiring, information technology-wise et al) ...

Could WUaS become part of Alphabet institutionally ? - came to mind again yesterday evening ... but if we could become financially operational independently that might be better ... let's talk about this again at some point.

Hi Ma,

Glad you now have an interim Unitarian Universalist minister ... did you have a voice in choosing her?

I'm an appreciator of the love I sense UUs generate (as a culture), touched on in some of the videos below too.

Love, Scott
First a partner and begin a family, then visit Harbin again? ... virtual Harbin explorations underway in blog 'virtual Harbin' label frequently ... interesting that Harbin's a church too ... anthropologically ... (here's a blog label touching on this - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Heart%20Consciousness%20Church?m=0 ...) ... see 'anthroplogy' label too, and 'Harbin ethnography' label as well

Haven't met many UUs that I know of at Harbin, although I have met some Quakers (which is an underlying theme in my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book - https://www.worldcat.org/ and https://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity) there ... interesting

Sending love, Scott

*
Methinks the ethics of Harbin Hot Springs' re my 'hippies to the hot springs' interpretation in my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book, and nudity there especially in the pool area, and re their (Harbin Hot Springs / HCC's) observance of California law as far as I've noticed or observed ... will raise some newly possibly fascinating ethics' questions in a realistic virtual Harbin ... The only gray area re Harbin and the law could be in Harbin workshops, as I observed to my friend Ed this spring ... but I'm also not a lawyer either ... and really don't know re Harbin and the law (but may learn further with time) ... (although I did teach a course on anthropology and the law as a graduate student instructor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, many years ago). I also think that Harbin sees itself as independent, but still operates in California, and apparently with a nod to California law ...

*
And while UUs seem (in UU churches) in my experience to create a culture of care / love (which is tremendous when successful - e.g. I see you, Ma, as a UU example of someone who cares greatly), Heart Consciousness Church (HCC) aka Harbin Hot Springs seems to have created a culture of one's heart's desire (and potentially a much needed balance in the world of churches even - and as an alternative, countercultural-hippy place even ... and also as a fascinating creative emergence from the 1960s/'70s in northern California, potentially because HCC's founder, Ishvara, is still around - since 1972) ...

Hi M,

Nice to talk.

Just searched on 'Unitarians in Cambridge, England' out of curiosity, and found ...

Conversations on Compassion with Scotty McLennan

I resonate with much of what UU minister and lawyer Scotty McLennan says here - https://youtu.be/wWa40loLT4k - in that what he speaks about expresses some of my own history as well, albeit he's around 12 years older than I am - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotty_McLennan - and appreciate the compassion as well as the tone with which he expresses this :).

Added this to this blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/passiflora-world-univ-sch-seeks-to.html - too: And while UUs seem (in UU churches) in my experience to create a culture of care / love (which is tremendous when successful - e.g. I see you, Ma, as a UU example of someone who cares greatly), Heart Consciousness Church (HCC) aka Harbin Hot Springs seems to have created a culture of one's heart's desire (and potentially a much needed balance in the world of churches even - and as an alternative, countercultural-hippy place even ... and also as a fascinating creative emergence from the 1960s/'70s in northern California, potentially because HCC's founder, Ishvara, is still around - since 1972) ...

Hi Ed, David, Mary, Jane, Sandy and Larry,

Just shared the email below with my mother ... and with regards too to my recent whistle-blowing now 4-6 times in recent years. ('Ecology' is a word I'm using for history or even kind of karma/dharma or holism - a holistic view of life - which includes issues of social justice perhaps.

Sweden[edit]

Inspired by the writings of Theodore Parker the Swedish writer Klas Pontus Arnoldson founded in Gothenburg in 1871 the Unitarian association Sanningssökarna ("The Truth Seekers") – later also found in Stockholm. This association also published the periodical Sanningssökaren ("The Truth Seeker"). Two other Unitarian associations were founded in 1882 (one of them in Stockholm). In 1888 Unitarians asked the Swedish King for permission to establish yet another Unitarian association in Gothenburg but was turned down because Unitarianism was not regarded as a Christian religion. Later many Unitarians turned to theosophy. In 1974 members of The Religion and Culture Association in Malmö founded The Free Church of Sweden and Rev. Ragnar Emilsen would be its pastor (ordained 1987 to Unitarian minister for Sweden and Finland and later the first to become Unitarian bishop of Scandinavia, he died February 2008). In 1999 the church changed its name to The Unitarian Church in Sweden.

To the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education,

Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area, California.

I’m writing with a letter of support for the University of Sfax’s new "Data Engineering and Semantics" research unit. This will be administered from the Computer Science and Communications Department, Faculty of Sciences of Sfax, University of Sfax in Tunisia. The group will be led by Dr. Mohamed BEN AOUICHA. The University of Sfax needs this new "Data Engineering and Semantics" research unit to facilitate the work of Wikimedia Researchers at the university, as part of its official research structure. The main goal of the unit is to promote and monitor research efforts about Data Engineering and Semantic Technologies within the University of Sfax. Data Engineering and Semantic Technology research is needed to improve the usage and processing of knowledge databases including wikis. Effectively, this University of Sfax group will work to develop tools to make better the quality of the linked data of Wikidata, and to use and develop Wikidata there for a variety of purposes including clinical decision support, Natural Language Processing and Education. They will also analyze the output of wikis, identify deficiencies and work to solve them.

As president of the research university, the (MIT OCW-centric wiki) World University and School (and planning online major research universities in all ~200 countries) I’m writing in support of this project.

Sincerely,

Scott GK MacLeod

Dear Sir,

I thank you for your answer. This is absolutely kind. I just ask if you can remove the addendums and the hypertext link to the Google Scholar profile of Dr. Mohamed Ben Aouicha and if you can add your signature at the end of the letter. The Ministry of Higher Education only accepts one-page length letters of support.

Objet : Re: [Wiki-Medicine] Seeking a letter of support from research institutions

Dear Houcemeddine Turki, Denny Vrandecic, Lydia Pintscher, Peter Norvig, Laurence Moroney, Wikidatans and All,

Please find attached a letter (as PDF) of support on behalf of your "Data Engineering and Semantics" research unit project at the University of Sfax, Tunisia, from World University and School (and in GDocs - "Sfax Letter of Support from World Univ & Sch Oct 2019").

Sincerely,

Scott GK MacLeod

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States

Dear Houcemeddine, (Mina and Mossab),

Thank you for your email, Houcemeddine. I have made the updates to the MIT OCW-centric World University and School letter of support for the University of Sfax’s new "Data Engineering and Semantics" research unit per your request -

"remove the addendums and the hypertext link to the Google Scholar profile of Dr. Mohamed Ben Aouicha and if you can add your signature at the end of the letter. The Ministry of Higher Education only accepts one-page length letters of support."

I have done this in a new GDoc (Sfax Letter of Support from World Univ & Sch 24 Oct '19) and attached a new PDF.

I have also added the licensing clarifications and endorsements that CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare (in its 5 languages) has provided World University and School, when WUaS uses MIT's name.

Please remember that World University and School seeks to create an online Tunisia World University and School in the Arabic language (and French as well), and to offer to Tunisians and other Arabic speakers - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Arabic_language - (in the 26-27 Arabic language countries out of ~200 countries in the world) online Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school, e.g. https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - and as WUaS develops further in Wikidata / Wikibase for this.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Scott

Dear Laurence,

Thanks so much for your email. I had included you with Denny Vrandecic, Peter Norvig, John Hennessy, Houcemeddine Turki, Wikidatans and all, and with regards to CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, because you are Lead of AI Developer Relations at Google / Artificial Intelligence Advocate at Google, - and World Univ & Sch had included you in the agenda (item 4ii) for WUaS monthly business meeting (3rd Saturdays at 9am PT) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/bright-eyes-catharanthus-roseus-agenda.html - recenlty too. FYI, World Univ & Sch donated ourselves to Wikidata in 2015 for co-development and received WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 as a consequence, but they're not yet interoperable. (And Wikidata is in ~300 languages, and Denny Vrandecic is its founder). WUaS is also seeking to develop our 'You at WUaS' - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item - and with TensorFlow - and, for example, for A) avatar bot electronic medical records, B) possible universal basic income experiments, and for C) matriculating students in all 200 countries, and Universitians in all 7111 known living languages (like Wikipedians) ... and in planning for 7.5 billion open wiki teachers and learners at WUaS too.

In World University and School seeking to become major online research universities in each of ~200 countries' official/main languages - and with TensorFlow - the University of Sfax in Tunisia, which is developing with Wikidata / Wikibase, seems like a good place to start (and in the Arabic language as well) for WUaS to begin to collaborate and develop.

Here too are the beginnings of online MIT OCW-centric WUaS Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with online teaching hospitals - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - in all ~200 countries' main languages (and potentially with Project Baseline, Stanford / Duke Universities, and Project ECHO eventually too).

Thank you. How might WUaS further best communicate about TensorFlow and developing World University and School's "front end" (WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki) and "back end" (Wikidata / Wikibase structured knowledge database) with you - and for Universitians in 7111 known living languages - and with regard to Sfax Medical Student Houcemeddine Turki's new "Data Engineering and Semantics" research unit in Tunisia?

Sincerely,

Scott

Dear Houcemeddine,

Have blogged about this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/arundina-bamboo-orchid-wiki-medicine.html (in the first part of yesterday's blog entry). Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, as you may read about above, in my email to Laurence Moroney (Lead of AI Developer Relations at Google / Artificial Intelligence Advocate at Google, where Google's Denny Vrandecic, Peter Norvig head of Google AI, and Laurence all work together), may emerge with Google's TensorFlow machine learning software, and planning for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item number.

I'll seek to develop soon the beginnings of MIT OCW-centric wiki Tunisia World University and School, a research university, soon from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - first in English, and planned in the Arabic language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Arabic_language - as well as French, and English - and where eventually WUaS's "front end" here will be connected to WUaS's "back end" in Wikidata's 300 languages (e.g. https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages)). CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in English has ~2500 courses online - https://ocw.mit.edu - but MIT doesn't have a medical or law school, so hopefully WUaS Medical School in Tunisia in Arabic, and online, will emerge from Stanford Medicine or similar for OCW. I hope your Wikidata project and World Univ & Sch can work further together in these regards.

Can you think of any Tunisians who may be interested in an online- free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree in English, beginning in the autumn of 2020?

Thank you again for you emails, Houcemeddine, and you're welcome, and great to Skype video conference with you last year in 2018 (I think), as well.

Sincerely, Scott

Dear Houcemeddine Turki, Denny Vrandecic, Lydia Pintscher, Peter Norvig, Laurence Moroney, Wikidatans and All,

CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School as a research university (and planning online major research universities in all ~200 countries) will write a letter of support for this project. (And as you may all know WUaS donated itself to Wikidata for co-development in 2015 and received WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 as a consequence but they're not yet interoperable in any of Wikidata's ~300 languages yet).

World University and School is also planning online Medical Schools with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care in ~200 countries' official/main languages, and online clinical trials in each of all 7111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) - with remarkable career opportunities for Wikidatans.

As president of CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School and exploring further collaboration opportunities with Wikidata as well, CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School is developing not only our ~200 planned online Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with ~200 online teaching hospitals - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - for online clinical care, as well as online clinical research and trials in 7,111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) - as well as ~200 online law schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - both Medical Schools and Law Schools planned in all ~200 countries - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - and in their official languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages. World University and School is also planning great numbers of academic careers for potentially Wikidatans, in all 7111 living languages - and seeks to become the MIT / Harvard / Oxbridge of the Internet.

Perhaps this email will serve an initial letter of support for your efforts, but I look forward to learning, Houcemeddine, more specifically what kind of letter of support might be helpful.

Thank you.

All the best,

Scott

In a related vein, please see Agenda items 4, 7, and 8 and other items as well from today's open MIT OCW-centric World University and School's monthly business meeting:

Dear all,

I thank you for your efforts. I am honoured to inform you that we are managing to launch a research unit dealing with Data Science research in Tunisia. This research unit is named "Data Engineering and Semantics". It belongs to Computer Science and Communications Department, Faculty of Sciences of Sfax, University of Sfax. The group will be led by Dr. Mohamed BEN AOUICHA (https://scholar.google.ca/citations?user=XPVUu-gAAAAJ&hl=fr). He was the person behind the project of University of Sfax about the use of Wikipedia and Wiktionary in semantic technologies, particularly semantic similarity measures. We need this research unit to have Wikimedia Researchers in the University of Sfax affiliated to an official research structure. The main goal of the unit is to promote and monitor research efforts about Data Engineering and Semantic Technologies in the University of Sfax. Data Engineering and Semantic Technology researches are needed to ameliorate the usage and processing of knowledge bases including wikis. Effectively, we will work in this unit to develop tools to ameliorate linked data quality of Wikidata and to use Wikidata for a variety of purposes including clinical decision support, Natural Language Processing and Education. We will also analyze the output of wikis, identify deficiencies and work to solve them. However, this will not be possible without several letters of support from several institutions. I ask if your research institution can send us a letter of support so that we can have the approval of the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education to create our new research unit.

WUaS has inquired with Google Director of AI Peter Norvig about coding CC-4 MIT OCW for students at World Univ & Sch, keeping student’s time in mind, and in so many other ways.

ii.

WUaS has recently heard back from Laurence Moroney, Lead of AI Developer Relations at Google / Artificial Intelligence Advocate at Google, and responded:

Dear Laurence,

Thank you. How might WUaS further best communicate about TensorFlow and developing World University and School's "front end" (WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki) and "back end" (Wikidata / Wikibase structured knowledge database) with you - and for Universitians in 7,111 known living languages - and with regard to Sfax Medical Student Houcemeddine Turki's new "Data Engineering and Semantics" research unit in Tunisia?

Sincerely,

Scott

ii.
Dear Houcemeddine (and Mossab),

Here's the brand new Tunisia World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Tunisia - a major research university planned in Arabic and French, and potentially other of the ~300 Wikipedia languages as well, (but not yet the Medical School at Tunisia World University and School or the Law School at Tunisia World University and School).

Sincerely, Scott

Scott MacLeod is planning too to teach newly a course entitled "Virtual Harbin" (Anthropology), in addition to "Society, Information Technology and Global University" (Sociology) - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - in 2020 or 2021.

11
In World Univ & Sch's active ethics' and legality investigation with the Stanford Faculty Senate into Stanford University, the WUaS Chairman of the Board, Larry Viehland, observes that the administration makes the decisions there, and that the Stanford Senate is likely to play an advisory role.

World Univ & Sch seeks to begin to grow our WUaS faculty, and then explore related WUaS governance questions, and how to address ethics' questions as well.

12
World Univ & Sch will join a Reed College conference call on November 1, 2019, and has asked to add an agenda item about WUaS hiring Reedie interns to help begin grow World University and School. World University and School is also seeking Ph.D. student applicants from Reed College to study online for best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare Ph.D. degrees (as WUaS licenses for this with BPPE as well).

See, too:
From the microorganisms in your gut to the chemistry of smog, Reed students tackle questions that lie at the cutting edge. Check out this video of students presenting their research:

Dear Muvaffak, (and Houcemeddine and Amir), and All,

Thanks so much for your email, Muvaffak, and the great collection of free open courses. World University and School seeks to create much much work in academic careers (e.g. 2.2 million jobs in 200 countries and 7111 living languages?). For this WUaS is seeking students, high achieving students (who might apply to, get into and matriculate at Stanford or MIT, for example).

Will add your great web site - https://www.classcentral.com/universities - here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Courses - when I can. The WUaS wiki has been getting some "503 Backend fetch failed" error messages these days, but this too will pass.

Could you help find 100-250-500 English speaking Turks to matriculate at WUaS as undergraduates in 2020 while studying full time from home (like studying at the residential campuses of Stanford or MIT, but online from where they live) for 4 years? These degrees will be free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's and eventually Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees too (I.B. high school eventually as well) in Turkish with time - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Turkey - but first in English.

Here are the beginnings of an online Computer Science Bachelor degree at WUaS as we license with CA -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/red-panda-if-you-were-going-to-study.html?m=0

See, for example, the AI wiki subject at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence - and its MIT OCW which will eventually be for credit, to see how WUaS will work.

Houcemeddine, Muvaffak and Amir. I'd just like to introduce you in particular here. Muvaffak - https://www.linkedin.com/in/muvaffak-gozaydin-9792719/ (who has some engineering degrees from Stanford in the 1960s) - is the creator of the great https://www.classcentral.com/universities - and many more great online educational resources; Muvarrak is based in Istanbul (and sometimes London I think). And Houcemeddine - https://www.linkedin.com/in/houcemeddine-turki-80305834/ - is a Bachelor of Science medical student in Tunisia at Univ of Sfax, and is developing a medical project in Wikidata / Wikibase. And Amir - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amir-sarabadani-0643058b/ - is a software engineer at Wikimedia Deutschland, and originally from Tehran, Iran.

You'll find Turkey, Tunisia and Iran World University and Schools here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States.

I just yesterday created Tunisia World University and School in English - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Tunisia - and which is planned in Arabic for degrees, and Tunisian and other languages there.

And here's Iran World University and School https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Iran_(Islamic_Republic_of) (in English) and planned in Farsi +

And I think this is the correct link to Turkey World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Turkey and planned in Turkish.
Languages will be accessible here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and WUaS which donated itself to Wikidata as "back end" for co-development in 2015, and received this new WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 as "front end" (both planned in Wikipedia's ~300 languages) is seeking to make these "front end" and "back end" wiki pages interoperable 'soon-ish'. :)

Best, Scott

Dear Scott

You really work very hard .

But today online is the best .

1.- Convince top universities to provide online degree programs same as f2f classes

2.- Just use classcenytral.com/universities 1.000 world universities 13.000 online courses . Select as you wish at low cost

I did the second . I even provide master degrees in Artificial INtelligence .

In World Univ & Sch's active ethics' and legality investigation with the Stanford Faculty Senate into Stanford University, the WUaS Chairman of the Board, Larry Viehland, observes that the administration makes the decisions there, and that the Stanford Senate is likely to play an advisory role.

World Univ & Sch seeks to begin to grow our WUaS faculty, and then explore related WUaS governance questions, and how to address ethics' questions as well.

World Univ & Sch will join a Reed College conference call on November 1, 2019, and has asked to add an agenda item about WUaS hiring Reedie interns to help begin grow World University and School. World University and School is also seeking Ph.D. student applicants from Reed College to study online for best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare Ph.D. degrees (as WUaS licenses for this with BPPE as well).

See, too:

From the microorganisms in your gut to the chemistry of smog, Reed students tackle questions that lie at the cutting edge. Check out this video of students presenting their research:

to Houcemeddine, Peter, Romaine, Lydia, Amir, Amir, Shahrzad, Muvaffak

Dear Muvaffak, (and Houcemeddine and Amir), and All,

Thanks so much for your email, Muvaffak, and for the great collection of free open courses. World University and School seeks to create much much work in academic careers (e.g. 2.2 million jobs in 200 countries and 7111 living languages?). For this WUaS is seeking students, high achieving students (who might apply to, get into and matriculate at Stanford or MIT, for example).

I'll add your great web site - https://www.classcentral.com/universities - here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Courses - when I can. The WUaS wiki has been getting some "503 Backend fetch failed" error messages these days, but this too will pass.

Here are the beginnings of an online Computer Science Bachelor degree at WUaS as we license with CA -

Houcemeddine, Muvaffak and Amir. I'd just like to introduce you in particular here. Muvaffak - https://www.linkedin.com/in/muvaffak-gozaydin-9792719/ (who has some engineering degrees from Stanford in the 1960s) - is the creator of the great https://www.classcentral.com/universities - and many more great online educational resources; Muvarrak is based in Istanbul (and sometimes London I think).

You'll find Turkey, Tunisia and Iran World University and Schools here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States
I just yesterday created Tunisia World University and School in English - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Tunisia - and which is planned in Arabic for degrees, and Tunisian and other languages there.

Dear Muvaffak, Houcemeddine, Amir, Peter, Romaine, Lydia, Shahrzad, and All,

Your mission, should you choose to accept it (as the "Mission Impossible" TV show used to say) ...

is to create MIT in each of your countries' main languages :)

... for online Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. degrees, as well as wiki schools in all of your country's languages.

In case you didn’t get Bruce’s email - class is canceled tonight due to smoke and lack of electrons.

Hi Patti, David, Bruce and All,

A las! ... and thanks for the heads' up that SCD Open Band and Dancing are cancelled this evening (am actually a tiny bit short of breath now, with sensitive breathing, probably due to fairly intense smoke last night) and appreciate in general CA's relatively high air quality standards in some places, and legally too ... I think folks danced SCD during last year's 10 days of intense CA fire smoke-in - when I think multitudes stayed inside, and my little house-let was as closed up as it could be!)

Back to acoustic ? :)

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Sorry you’re without electricity - again. And those wretched fires. It’s so sad and must be terribly frustrating to have what seem like repeated conflagrations all over the state. Hadn’t thought about the fact that students would be affected - and everyone one way or another. Oh my. Please keep me posted. One fire seemed to be not too far from San Francisco.

I’m going to bed early because the electrician, coming to repair a circuit breaker is arriving at 7:15 am. Have to set my alarm. That’s early for me.

L, Ma

Hi M,

Smoke made me a bit short of breath, so headed to coast to breathe better, and then Annie Brown called out of the blue, at Ocean Beach in SF :) She asked how you were, and I said well.

SCD music making is canceled this evening due to outage and smoke.

Hope air is better when I get back.

Sleep well and good luck in the morning

L, Scott

Hi Ma, Ann, Ed, and All,

Blogged about some of this yesterday ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/scarlet-macaw.html ...Am seeking for World Univ & Sch to become financially operational soon.

And thanks so much for some of your communications yesterday - your calls, Ann & Ed and your email Ma after Ann called, mentioning the word CIRCUIT (below). Ann called when I was driving by Ocean Beach in SF, and Ed when I was heading into Rainbow Grocery (two great places) having escaped the awful smoke due to slight shortness of breath (and possibly due too to chemicals/SIM on an unwashed new shirt. A year ago with 10 days of intense smoke from fires was much worse for breathing ).

How are you all doing (re thresholds of stress?)

Am wondering about the role of psychiatry re these fires, and re the word circuit metaphorically in the communication process in talk therapy. Am also wondering with regards to Kaiser Permanente (which we talked about, Ed) about the role of charting in psychiatry re benefits to patients, its decades' long history at KP, and with regards too to online World Univ & Sch Medical Schools and online teaching hospitAls (and even with regards to avatar bot electronic medical records) - and identity questions. How could online psychiatry even create flourishing cultures (in 7111 languages)? How about for you esp. in these regards?

Electricity is still out in Canyon hinterlands (but not in Berkeley or Montclair), shower this morning was colder than yesterday's luke warm shower. What's the thinking here by the decision makers doing this? Could bringing psychiatry to places that could benefit from this even be part of this (eg Canyon 94516, nearby Montclair village - which could have an issue with the sex trade happening even, I've noticed in passing - and possibly even Harbin Hot Springs)? And how do places via governments via lawyers/administrators and MD psychiatry address and stop the illegal sex trade, for example, when it's happening, besides 'smoking them out' or 'burning them down' or accepting the related 'corruption'/similar ? And are the identities deciding to keep the power out in need of psychiatric help themselves, I wonder? What are the goals of the power outage in Canyon?

Religion in my experience in CA seems to be playing less of a role in some of these questions, while psychiatry could perhaps help the 'victims' of some of these actions, by becoming more effective, and growing. How to grow excellent MD psychiatry - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry - in the Medical School at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School (and planned in ~200 countries' official languages) - and newly with identity and language questions knowledgeably in mind, and toward flourishing individuals and cultures/communities?

Lots of communications yesterday from friends, - surprisingly, & welcome ... and re the circuit word too. Thanks for your communications. Thoughts? (On with the Desiderata ... https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html )

Seeking partner here continues ... :)

Fond regards, Scott

Stanford University Press - 'Epistemology'
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/epistemology/

Epistemology
First published Wed Dec 14, 2005
Defined narrowly, epistemology is the study of knowledge and justified belief. As the study of knowledge, epistemology is concerned with the following questions: What are the necessary and sufficient conditions of knowledge? What are its sources? What is its structure, and what are its limits? As the study of justified belief, epistemology aims to answer questions such as: How we are to understand the concept of justification? What makes justified beliefs justified? Is justification internal or external to one's own mind? Understood more broadly, epistemology is about issues having to do with the creation and dissemination of knowledge in particular areas of inquiry. This article will provide a systematic overview of the problems that the questions above raise and focus in some depth on issues relating to the structure and the limits of knowledge and justification.

Where o where is that solar panel to 24-hour lithium battery for storage - to heat this 2-room house-let's electric baseboard panel, and illuminate the abode too? On this ridge and with the house's full exposure rooves, in the California 10-month summer sun, there's a perfect testing opportunity. The passive solar water heater - with 2nd water tank as storage unit/almost battery - that went in about 4 years increases efficiency greatly, but it's solar panel energy system isn't a standalone success yet.

This wee video is kinda wild - !!! Mindstorms Solar Tracker ! ...

https://youtu.be/DXA1r2KleJ0 - because it shows you how to use Lego Robotics' Mindstorms EV3 to code for making a solar panel rotate to track the sun, including how to use its block programming language (and eventually with Scratch drag and drop programming language out of MIT MEDIA LAB as well) ...

thus making using solar panel energy systems potentially much more efficient. I didn't go out to look at my roof, or at the satellite dish on it either (probably re numerous other applications), ... but let's let little Mikey do it ...

Haven't climbed up on my wee roof yet either to play with Lego, but I could see putting something up there re Lego standard, and using Legos too, that would make a solar panel rotate to track the sun that much more efficiently, and stream energy into a 24 hour lithium ion battery (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DbCslTabz_4/TgC0ydqI65I/AAAAAAAADyI/K3aulaNyrJc/s1600/energizerbunny.png) since they're coming on ... and with MindStorms ...

Wanna come over, sit on my roof, and play with Lego MindStorms ... to build solar ? :)

I'm finding fascinating #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital in #RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM questions, and we still don't have a realistic virtual earth for exploring this (ie with Lego robotics as a start) in Brick Street View with Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth with avatar bots and at the cellular and atomic levels too and with Tensor Flow and Translate ... but beginning with Lego Robotics for kids learning via play ... and then into a Realistic Virtual Earth for Robotics ... :)

Re brainstorming NEWLY about the #ActualPhysical -

Again, epistemologically, the #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital re https://twitter.com/MIT/status/1189616542905823232 for STEM in #RealisticVirtualEarth is generative! & then #ActualPhysical - something like a video of MIT person connected wi (Lego) Robot as surgery manakin #RealisticVirtualEarthForSurgery ~

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1189646276100419584

I'm heading in the medicine and surgery direction, where robotics can be used for learning surgery via manakins ...

and then into a realistic virtual earth for surgery, and for one-to-one correspondence at cell and atomic levels too ... and via video photogrammetry ...

I suppose the guy moving in the MIT video above could be doing a Pas de Basque eventually as well ... and then the robot would do it concurrently ... so all you SCD teachers, how to teach the guy at MIT to do a Pas de Basque bound as he is with those cables while teaching the robot to jump up and down - and from out here in California in Skype one-to-one or group video even (but him not connected at first to the robot)? :)

Methinks this will inform my next upcoming book of poetry in one way or another - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html ... "To the Dance or the Pools ~ Virtually?: How Different it is to Soak at Harbin, than to Realize it in Virtual Reality" :)

What if the MIT man and the robot were dancing together for example ... and in the Harbin warm pool? :0)

Hi M,

. . . I learned of the verb to refract from my Swiss French friend Marc Dupuis, and in a way I've also learned to make such symbolic 'rays of light,' or communications, change direction, or 'glance' (hit something at an angle and bounce off) away from me. . . . Refractory means however - stubborn or unmanageable, and I guess this could apply to . . . as well. May be emblematic of a successful coping strategy over 5 decades here in Canyon, interestingly.

So, I pull into my parking place in the evening, headlights shining on the shop door, and there's a new symbol or assemblage of symbols in front of me ... like viewing a stage set (symbols in the sense of stage props too). This property is his 'range' (in a primate sense even) and perhaps this is how he's learned to cope here in Canyon since the late 1969s or early 70s. There's a kind of wild 'Dingo Den' quality of relationships here in Canyon in my experience that D understands in a way I don't ...

* * *

I changed political party from Democrat to Green in California recently, and got the confirmation card from the voter registration office yesterday in mail. (I guess this makes me a card-carrying Green Party member). This could be more significant in other places / countries than California / the USA but I agree with the Green Party platform in general, - and voting with a smaller party may make it possible to effect change with greater impact, than in a larger party. California's on the left coast anyway so I don't think Rs would win here, and I can still vote for the D presidential nominee if sensible. Am glad we have longest constitutional democracy on planet, and that the democratic political process is well developed and developing now anew in the information age.

It seems like new alliances between Green party CA and Green parties in Europe might be possible, - but not necessarily with US Democratic Party members, since this isn't a party in other countries - and I think alliances are where it's at in the politics I've learned in Europe. Re Manuel Castells' fairly recent book "Networks of outrage and hope - social movements in the Internet age" (2012), the Greens are a social movement in this sense, and more international than other political parties in the US.

* * *

So we're all coping - and symbolically - in a great way (re Lacan's symbolic, real and imaginary / narcissistic 3 registers of the mind or "PSYCHE CAN BE DIVIDED into three major structures that control our lives" speculatively and theoretically - and perhaps too re John Money's 3 'coping strategies' - http://scottmacleod.com/JohnMoneyConceptsOfDeterminism.html - which I find interesting to think about and theoretically -

"Coping Strategies

The human organism has three generic strategies for coping with the five universal exigencies: adhibition, inhibition, and explication. These strategies are under the governance of bodymind and should not be attributed to such inferential entities as unconscious motivation, voluntary choice, or willpower.")

Am an appreciator of Lacan's focus on parole - speech, language - in communicating !

How are you all of you (and re thresholds of stress - where threshold is another concept I've learned from John Money, and will post to one of these pages from his 1988 book eventually - http://scottmacleod.com/JohnMoneyConceptsOfDeterminism.html)

And I suppose, I'm also a symbolizer re this daily blog or web log - eg http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2014/05/eastern-cottonhead-rabbit-building-on.html - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2010/05/sweet-birch-questions-of-determinism-on.html - with some interesting ideas, and John Money and Jacques Lacan MD 'labels.'

On with seeking a partner here who's a great fit ...

L, Scott

P.S.

some platforms - ideologies too? a word I don't dis-engage from some/much, ... or cultures in the information age, or social movements, and especially re the 'real''realism' of their histories, or political organizations' ideas ...

"The modern Democratic party emphasizes egalitarianism and social equality through liberalism. They support voting rights and minority rights, including LGBT rights, multiculturalism, and religious secularism."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_the_Democratic_Party

The party promotes green politics, specifically ecology; nonviolence; social justice; participatory, grassroots democracy; gender equality; LGBT rights; anti-war and anti-racism.

Glad to have participated in a Reed College RCA (Reed Career Alliance) conference call today ... about which I shared the following re WUaS. Am hoping this will be a turn of the tides financially and accreditation-wise for WUaS too ...

1) to hire Reedie interns every 4 months (Jan-April, May-August, September-December), beginning in early January and
2) to begin the CA BPPE licensing in January so WUaS can focus the Reedie interns' work, and
3) to start developing the online Ph.D. degrees for Reedies to matriculate in based on the ~32 departments of CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare - http://ocw.mit.edu/
4) to develop World University and School's website professionally - worlduniversityandschool.org - potentially with Reedie interns, and especially multi-lingually (where Wikipedia is in ~300 languages)
e) How has the RCA approached legal & ethics' questions thus far?

*

Thanks so much, Reedies!

I made a back up of the active happening real time notes - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nGIRAmxeZqvBhUNdcVAVWGQt2ujPR8mZarZp7cjS_i8/edit?usp=sharing (since GDocs was saying they might not be saved) - and I'm a big appreciator of both Amy's note-taking, as well as 2 channels for communication: group voice, and group text.

(One further brainstorming question I had is: could RCA become even a kind of Human Resources' center? See, conceptually, item 9 in these 2016 14 planned revenue streams on both wings of WUaS - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - planning to become an all-language academic online manpower-brain power-language-power human resources and jobs' source for our graduates and others).

Thanks for your skillful moderation, Michael, and everybody's good ideas. Thanks too for the skillful organization of all of this, All!

Cheers, Scott

Semester at Sea
University on a Ship
(coordinators, administrators, faculty and friends)

Hi Autumn,

Thanks for your nice email. Great to be in communication with you as well. I'll respond to a few of your questions below. How are you, and where are you heading next career-wise re your vision for this?

> What a wonderful opportunity since 2017 (?) to provide online education around the world in 300 languages!!!!

World Univ & Sch incorporated as a 501 c 3 non-profit in 2010, and as a parallel for-profit general stock company, the WUaS Corp / Press in 2017 - 2 separate legal entities in CA, and so far not yet financially operational. WUaS is planning major online universities in each of ~200 countries' official languages, and wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7111 known living languages. On the WUaS Corporation side (which we incorporated in 2017), WUaS is planning educational services' bookstores/ computer stores / robotics' stores / hospital technologies / an academic press with machine translation in all 7111 and much more - See, conceptually, item 9 in these 2016 14 planned revenue streams on both wings of WUaS - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - planning to become an all-language academic human resources' online manpower-brain power-language-power jobs' source for our graduates and others).

> Where are the students from and how many students do you have currently enrolled?

As WUaS seeks first to license with CA's BPPE for online free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees, first in English, WUaS is seeking our 2nd undergraduate class of 500-2000 students for the autumn of 2020 - with students from all ~200 nation states studying for free-to-students' online Bachelor's degrees from home in English.

> What are the most popular degrees? Does the school/uni run year-round?

World Univ & Sch is currently planning 6 degrees for undergraduates - worlduniversityandschool.org - and will build out potentially to 32 degrees in MIT OCW's departments. The major universities will run all year round as we develop the platform for both synchronous and asynchronous learning and courses. Seeking here to become the Harvard / Stanford / Oxbridge / MIT of the Internet and to offer online in ~200 countries' main languages Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, Medicine - MD and I.B. high school degrees.

Your ESL language knowledge and related dovetail remarkably with WUaS's multi-lingual focus (where CC-4 MIT OCW is in 5 languages currently). And if you might be interested, WUaS has a part time fundraising / grant writing position available; see the recent WUaS Monthly Business Meeting Minutes' item 2 - Minutes:

- https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2019/10/minutes-for-world-univ-sch-monthly.html

- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/scintillant-hummingbird-minutes-for.html

Unfortunately WUaS hasn't become financially operational in all these years yet, as you may have seen in the financial reports from last WUaS MBM, but after a Reed College Alumni conference call (Reed Career Alliance - RCA) yesterday, I'm hopeful that the financial tides for WUaS may be beginning to turn.

In 2005, I traveled on SAS from Florida to Venezuela, Brazil, South Africa, Mauritius, India and beyond ... and then headed to Harbin Hot Springs in NorCal to begin field work for my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnography, which the Academic Press at WUaS published in 2016 - https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity. In seeking to facilitate a single realistic virtual earth for everything (think Google Street View / Maps / Earth with Second Life, but realistic and for medicine, for example) but especially ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - http://www.scottmacleod.com/research-group.html - a new social science theory and method I'm developing, I'd like to extend my ethnographic field sites beyond Harbin to Scotland, India and Germany! I went to one SAS reunion in SF earlier this year, but haven't been too engaged with SAS recently.

Nice to be in communication. Much creative generation here, and seeking to make it real re finances, and growth!

Sincerely, Scott

Hi Scott!!!

It is wonderful to hear from you!!!

It looks like you are busy running World Uni and School!!! I checked out the school's Youtube and Twitter pages. What a wonderful opportunity since 2017 (?) to provide online education around the world in 300 languages!!!! Where are the students from and how many students do you have currently enrolled? What are the most popular degrees? Does the school/uni run year-round? I have been in the fields of ESL, EFL, EIL, Nonprofits, Higher Ed, and Global Ed combined for 20 years. A while ago, I received my MA in TESOL and last year studied a MA in Nonprofit Management and Leadership.

I read your writing on your website about your Fall 2005 Voyage. In F99, we knew the ship as the Great White Mother, but Student Ship makes sense as well! I remember you playing your bagpipes on the F99 Voyage! What was your teaching or staff role on the F05 Voyage? Where did you sail on F05? I sailed with SAS again on their one-month Fire and Ice Enrichment Voyage in May/June 2014 embarking from Germany to Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Scotland, Iceland, Northern Ireland and disembarking in England. I have also gone on a few SAS Reunion Voyages/Homecoming Voyages too. Now I volunteer as the AZ Alumni Chapter Rep for SAS since 2017.

Sincerely,

Autumn

Hi Autumn, Karen, Nicole and Dennis,

Thanks for connecting in LinkedIn, Autumn, with - "What is your current home address? I would like to send you a Christmas card in Dec. :)" - and which I've put below.

I'm taking the opportunity to say hi to you all (with whom I'm also connected in L.I.)

Am continuing in an out of the box way to develop CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School, which a bit like Semester at Sea in broad vision, seeks to create online MIT OCW-centric universities in all ~200 countries' official and main languages, as well as wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,111 known living languages. The online Bachelor, Ph.D. Law, M.D. and I.B. high school degrees will be free to students (with reimbursement planned from countries' departments of Education, for example). Am also continuing to develop my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, and in conjunction with this for WUaS to facilitate developing a realistic virtual earth for everything - think Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth at the cellular and atomic levels too / TensorFlow / Translate and with avatar bots of individuals and species and which is group-buildable a bit like Second Life, but with realistic avatar bots, not cartoon-esque ones. Hopefully this will dovetail with ships' navigation systems and we'll be able to visit the ports we visited in 1999 again virtually, thanks to all the photos and videos we add to this virtual earth which will then all be patched together into a whole earth.

While there's a 'Semester at Sea' label in my daily blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Semester%20at%20Sea - check out, for example, the 'global university' and the 'virtual Harbin' blog labels among others.

And on my web site there's a bit about Semester at Sea as well - http://scottmacleod.com/SAS2005/SAS2005index.htm (accessible from http://scottmacleod.com).

What are you all of you up to? (How's Carol, Dennis?) Who has sailed again with SAS since 1999, - and when? :)

Thanks for your message, Autumn.

Warm greetings, Scott

Unfortunately we can't engage such history and experiences in a single realistic virtual earth for history, and tourism, and Semester at Sea photos/videography and experiences, but World Univ & Sch is seeking to facilitate this!

Sincerely Scott

Jim,

Thanks. I'm planning to re-watch the "Ethics in the Digital Transformation" Harvard panel again as well.

Re the website - https://lwn.net/Articles/285672/ - you shared, I don't see yet the relationship between the Cardisio case example in Roberto's AI Ethics' inspection model - http://cognitive-science.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/CSIGTalkZicari.20191031.pdf - and Object Database Systems' future re website -

   Where are Object Database Systems going?
   Are Relational database systems becoming Object Databases?
   Do we need a standard for Object Databases?
   Why ODMG did not succeed?

If this might conceptually find form eventually in something like Google Poly library of digital objects, or in Second Life / Open Sim's interchangeable library of virtual objects, theoretically informed by AI, and if this would find further form in a single realistic virtual earth (am thinking here, brainstorming-wise, Google Street View / Maps / Earth / Poly and for tele-robotic surgery at cellular and atomic levels too re Google Poly objects with digital robots and digital organs and digital Cardisio's then am appreciating Roberto's 'internal-to-Intel-German-Univs-IBM's' Ethics' AI process) ... am wondering how this conceptually single realistic virtual earth could facilitate AI Ethics' inspections and re its machine learning (eg TensorFlow). Eg how could one add Cardisio to said realistic virtual earth / Google Street View with digital hearts (from some of 10,000 patients in the Stanford / Duke / Alphabet's Project Baseline) ... and inspect the AI?

And what happens when the 'state' entities (conceptually emerging from the UN, or the EU, or ) - any given nation state out of ~200 of them, and across languages - steps in to regulate/inspect Roberto's AI Ethics' process?

I couldn't find Robert Zicari's email and re also contacting other contributors to this IBM CSIG presentation: Irmhild van Halem, Matthew Eric Bassett, Karsten Tolle, Timo Eichhorn, Todor Ivanov, Jesmin Jahan Tithi about all of this ... but while I'm interested in AI Ethics and related audits re CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, I'm more focuses on a variety of other questions, in WUaS's impoverishment, I come back to tying ethics with law more fulsomely. Perhaps World University and School's online Law Schools in ~200 countries' official / main languages and faculty cant teach about some of these questions under one WUaS umbrella. (India which is looking toward technology and health technology for its future generates a whole different culture and context and discourse around ethics - https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1190725047675080704 and

https://www.sundayguardianlive.com/news/get-tinge-digital-soul - than the West).

Innovation also seems to be a key focus of this website - https://lwn.net/Articles/285672/ - you shared, and I'm glad, but I didn't hear too much focus about that in his talk, and think the example of Stanford / Alphabet and Silicon Valley since 1996 (Google) is german here, culturally, legally, AI Ethics' inspection-wise (Sacramento, California state law) and innovation-wise.

Thanks, Scott

Related questions will emerge if Stanford Medicine / Stanford CDH finds its way to actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs (my actual-virtual ethnographic field site) to test its promising medical devices for example - https://twitter.com/HarbinBook - and in numerous other ways in a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs.

My question from above, formatted differently:

Thanks for your edifying, timely and topical talk, Roberto. Am curious about the role of law first - and in all ~200 countries’ official languages (a CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch focus) - and the history of law in response to ethical breaches re AI, and building out a framework from this - and esp. re business law? MIT (re racism and fairness AI questions) and Google/Alphabet (re TensorFlow), Stanford and re Silicon Valley history the Food and Drug Administration in relation to Big Pharma, have all addressed many related ethics' questions for example. Why not start with law (California, EU - GDPR) first in building such framework further, and then to inform ethics in the information age - re approaches to ethics' inspection?

Hi Scott,
I am educating myself is probably the best answer to give a this time.

Law is the logical starting point.

Since our AI's are our data - it is important to get laws around data clear and enforceable.

Glad you were watching the end of this fascinating panel, Jim. I appreciated the philosophical comment about AI 'should' be explainable (in addition to transparent) re ethics' questions - not easy across languages. I think Roberto Zicarri might be interested in this, but I didn't catch his email at the end of his IBM CSIG talk yesterday - http://cognitive-science.info/community/weekly-update/ - and it doesn't appear to be in LinkedIn either.

Hi Jim,

Did you grow up as a Unitarian by any chance? Sometimes I've wondered. (My parents met and married in the Unitarian church in Cincinnati, OH, but I didn't grow up with any religion that I know of). Am curious whether Roberto is looking seeking an ethic beyond the law of each of all ~200 countries re substitute a religion for "Christian" ethics (informed too now by 'business ethics' ) ... to inform his AI Ethics' investigation process (not wanting to head in the direction of the historical legacy of the Inquisition, for example?). Is he Italian, Swiss (where one of Switzerland's 4 official languages is Italian) or?

World Univ & Sch's has been developing with a Friendly / Quaker / Atheist Quaker / Non-theist Friends/NtF process, and which is informing WUaS's ethic, and probably re AI eventually as well.

Sincerely, Scott

Hi Jim,

Re Roberto's Cardisio heart hardware monitor with its AI example , am curious too about some alternative AI ethics' testing approaches emerging from a Consumer Reports' approach to AI ethics, if you will, and in lieu of 'inspections.' For example the new December issue of CR reviews laptops again, presumably with some budding consumer AI tools built in. A CR approach for hospital devices keeps the market in the story, and probably exists for hospitAl devices already too - and for heart monitor smart watches in CR already or almost. Extending CR testing to all 200 countries' for hospital devices and related AI - at WUaS, and as a jobs' creator in all countries/languages too?

And I just looked up 'software' in Consumer Reports va the Berkeley Public Library, and found from 2005 anti-virus product review. See below.

And I don't know CR well enough to know if they've ever reviewed any comparable book titles like "cook books" etc. as kinds of AI precursors , or comparable magazines (and even magazines covered by free speech in this country such as Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, if not meeting some communities' ethical norms, for example), but wonder what AI Ethics' inspections per Roberto's thinking would do with life-like adult robots that could be programmed in some years to talk dirty for example. What if a Russian ecosystem of AI product creators crossed some ethics' panels lines, but not international legal lines in these regards?

Here's Cosmic Skeptic Atheist Alex aka Alex J O'Connor - https://cosmicskeptic.com/ - with his Youtube channel ... https://www.youtube.com/c/cosmicskeptic (and see his recent "Do Human Rights Actually Exist" Youtube video) - who just became an Oxford theology graduate student ... https://twitter.com/CosmicSkeptic/status/1030166530628231173 - who in many ways is an excellent, and brilliant, ethicist too, and possibly even re thinking through business AI ethics re business law and from countries' and languages' perspectives too -

to me

Thanks Scott - lots of interesting ideas and thoughts in your last three emails.

I was raised non-denominational Protestant in Newburgh ME where my job was to start the fires in the winter two hours before services began, married my Catholic wife and raised our children Catholic, have an aunt who is Mormon, Jewish roots, and Mom who switched to Unitarian, and mentor Muslim scholars, while my wife works to save Native American and Indigenous languages and cultures - and admire Quakers, Amish, and even Shakers -though find them somewhat unsustainable - but perhaps in an OK wayin the bigger picture.

Trusted AI is a hot topic and will generate a lot of smoke as we all collectively muddle forward to explore its implications. Ultimately laws will be developed, though we are decades away from "real AI" - for example 2060 is when an exascale of computing is expected to cost about $1000 - our brain is an exascale (billion billion instructions per second) running on 20 watts of power to good approximation. IBM helped build and operats the fastest super-computer in the world SUMMIT - which is 1/5 the computing power of a single human brain, and consumes an amazing 13 Megawatts of power.

For WUaS goal, as language translation becomes better and better - you goal will come closer and closer to reality - and I suspect Mozilla's Common Voice is the ideal partner if you can mobilize the people whose languages are disappearing to participate in Common Voice speech donation project. It is bet to have many people who speak a language give samples, rather than one "super donor' who gives lots of their speech and accidentally incorporates bias into the data.

My philosophy of life is to be nice, be concise, and try to understand as much as possible - my theory of acting in the world is to do the smallest thing to be helpful - not trying to be too big a helper on anything or for anyone - just many, many, many small nudges in many directions for many people who are trying to realize their dream, and share a little of my understanding of the world. Not too much though - since most of it is probably wrong. Life is very short, and I am just passing through.

Thanks, -Jim

For example the new December issue of CR reviews laptops again, presumably with some budding consumer AI tools built in. A CR approach for hospital devices keeps the market in the story, and probably exists for hospitAl devices already too - and for heart monitor smart watches in CR already or almost. Extending CR testing to all 200 countries' for hospital devices and related AI - at WUaS, and as a jobs' creator in all countries/languages too?
And I just looked up 'software' in Consumer Reports va the Berkeley Public Library, and found from 2005 anti-virus product review. See below.
And I don't know CR well enough to know if they've ever reviewed any comparable book titles like "cook books" etc. as kinds of AI precursors , or comparable magazines (and even magazines covered by free speech in this country such as Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, if not meeting some communities' ethical norms, for example), but wonder what AI Ethics' inspections per Roberto's thinking would do with life-like adult robots that could be programmed in some years to talk dirty for example. What if a Russian ecosystem of AI product creators crossed some ethics' panels lines, but not international legal lines in these regards? Here's Cosmic Skeptic Atheist Alex aka Alex J O'Connor - https://cosmicskeptic.com/ - with his Youtube channel ... https://www.youtube.com/c/cosmicskeptic (and see his recent "Do Human Rights Actually Exist" Youtube video) - who just became an Oxford theology graduate student ... https://twitter.com/CosmicSkeptic/status/1030166530628231173- who in many ways is an excellent, and brilliant, ethicist too, and possibly even re thinking through business AI ethics re business law and from countries' and languages' perspectives too -

Dear Jim,

Thanks so much for your email again. I've been watching/listening again to "Z-inspection: Toward a Process to Assess Ethical AI" - https://youtu.be/jrwuZvt_H7k - and appreciate its focus in developing process for assessing Ethical AI to avoid harm. He describes a self-driving vehicle as an object at 4:42.

With regards to ethics and technologies at MIT, I find MIT Professor of Anthropology (and Quaker I think) Heather Paxson's observations here - https://twitter.com/MIT_SHASS/status/1182280374711394304 - https://shass.mit.edu/news/news-2019-computing-and-ai-humanistic-perspectives-mit-anthropology-heather-paxson - germane, and even wonder whether some WUaS Anthropology graduate students could study some of the Ethical AI questions that Zicari raises in varies countries, languages, and 'AI ecosystems of ethical principles' (Roberto's concept).

Am curious how a Z-inspection of a California/West Coast device in the California ecosystem ethic might work, paralleling a related Z-inspection of Russian AI in its Russian ecosystem ethic, and similarly with China, Africa, Indonesia and India, brainstorming-wise, and with regard to his closing observations.

In watching and thinking about Roberto Zicari's talk, and the Harvard "Ethics in the Digital Transformation" panel too, I'm curious too about developing some further groundwork for AI Ethics at MIT OCW-centric World University and School. Engaging the case or example I mentioned earlier of "what AI Ethics' inspections per Roberto's thinking would do with life-like adult robots that could be programmed in some years to talk dirty," or to talk sexually in a differential way, as objects, (like heart device monitors, or self-driving cars), I'm curious brainstorming-wise, how if law in Nevada / Netherlands already makes the sex trade legal, and if California law might make legal a gig economy including the 'sex trade,' but some ecosystems of AI ethics in these 3 places wouldn't - and also with regard eventually to AI adult robots talking sexually, how would such AI Ethics' inspections from Univ Frankfurt / Intel / IBM work into Russian or Californian AI ecosystem?

And furthermore, in a realistic virtual earth, realistic virtual Harbin (Google Street View at the cellular and atomic levels too), and for actual-virtual Harbin ethnographic field work with robotics, how would such Z-Inspections work?

Re your Trusted AI and real AI, and IBM's very fast computer, one last thing Roberto's IBM CSIG talk didn't seem to address with regard to AI Ethics' inspections is Google's so-called Quantum supremacy - https://twitter.com/techreview/status/1191021805533908994 - and also how this may play out with Google Earth / Maps / Street View / Tensor Flow - Translate too.

And re your email, am wondering how Wikidata lexemes which we all aggregate in Wikipedia's 300 languages will inform Google Translate and how to integrate/ collaborate with the Mozilla Common Voice model.

Thanks for your email this morning.

Best regards, Scott

May blog about some of this today - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/

Hi Jim,

I think you'll find some anthropological insights in the Heather Paxson interview I emailed you. (Heather has a Stanford Ph.D. so she knows the California ecosystem ethics, and to Haverford College in Philadelphia, perhaps the highest achieving historically Quaker college) In terms of Friendly/Quaker ethics, and that even might be applied to Ethical AI, and with regard to the slide at 3:10 - https://youtu.be/jrwuZvt_H7k - S.P.I.C.E.S. come to mind. Quakers/Friends have long had a peace testimony, and a focus too on simplicity, truth and equality, where S.P.I.C.E.S. refers to:
Simplicity - Understandable and Explainable AI
Peace - non-harming (1:55 minute)
Integrity - Trust
Community - citizens
Equality - minimize the risk of bias
Stewardship - businesses

... and I've added the related items from the EU's Roberto Viola in the "Policy Makers and AI" slide at 3:10. Un-programmed Quakers also can seek to facilitate change with social justice, in a quiet activist way.

Looks like Roberto Zicari is Italian ...

World Univ & Sch (MIT OCW-centric and wiki) may seek to engage SPICES as we engage and build an ecosystem of Ethical AI in all 7111 known living languages.

Thanks, Scott

Jim,

In SPICES, C stands for Community - which could refer to citizens here ...

And related blog post is here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/kea-where-are-object-database-systems.html (and still a bit in development)

I could see SPICES as a complementary approach to Ethical AI and informing 'inspection' and process ideas potentially in new ways.

Hi Jim,

Where Friends' or Quakers' historic witness to peace (anti-war movement, pacifism, war tax resistance, conscientious objection) would head with Ethical AI 'Z-inspections' per Roberto Zicari's presentation - or your Quaker-SPICES AI - Cognitive Mediator - will probably inform new AI ecosystem ethics (Russian, Californian/West Coast, African, Western Europe) (informed by language differentials as well).

Am a main author of this Non-theist Friends' Wikipedia page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontheist_Quakers (and there are some related wiki schools at World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_(atheist_Quakers%3F) and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Peace_and_Social_Justice_Studies and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_(atheist_Quakers%3F)) . But Friendly-informed World University and School does seek to develop in each of all ~200 countries' official/main languages (to offer online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D., & I.B.), in all 7,111 known living languages, and will likely develop our own AI and machine learning over the decades.

I think WUaS Law faculty will teach related subjects like 'Ethical AI Z-inspections' in our ~200 online law schools as well.

Am not clear how 'conscientious objection AI software' will develop with time - and how this could be either defined as Ethical AI or be "Ethical AI Z-inspected" - but I'd think we could already point to beginning examples of 'Conscientious Objection Ethical AI' software as precedent.

Thanks, Scott

Hi Scott,
People are ethical in part because we are trapped in bodies that others recognize with the help of their episodic memories - so we develop reputations for being trusted or not.

AI systems need to get episodic memory systems and be held accountable (responsible) for their actions before they like people will value ethical actions over unethical actions.

Our thoughts shape our words and our word shape our actions - and our actions reveal us to others - who form opinions of us (models) based on observations.

Mini-scientific method embedded in all of us for building models of other intelligent entities that act in the world, and the reliability of others for specific tasks needs to be predictable in a well-ordered society of intelligent entities. Unpredictable behavior scares people, as does behavior outside norms - but here is the the rebels and changemakers as the Apple commercial use to say...

Hi Jim,

Appreciating your thinking about ethics, the knowledge in your Forbes' article (which magazine has published some Quaker-related business articles in the past), as well as your business orientation - and that you are a trusted voice in the wider I.T. world - including especially your knowledge/thinking about AI and episodic memory to inform Ethical AI & re emergent voice and natural language processing ethical AI. I can read your email and article too as a response to the IBM CSIG Roberto Zicari's "Z-inspection: ... " presentation - https://youtu.be/jrwuZvt_H7k - from a very different perspective. And an aspect of this my interpretation is that human history (re the current lack of episodic memory and ethical AI) informs ethics (and with regard to the actual-virtual, physical-digital co-constituting which potential I see in the development of a realistic virtual earth for AI, STEM, history, everything ...).

But isn't IT innovation itself potentially scary in its disruptive-ness - and business-wise? Hacking too? But business has managed to adapt to this (I teach about some of this in my course - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html).

In a related vein, Quakers are one example, in human terms, of what you write about in all 4 paragraphs. And Quakers have a history of being conscientious objectors, questioning authority, organizing social movements, (See Margaret Hope Bacon's book "The Quiet Rebels") - as well per Manuel Castells' books

... "The Information Age" trilogy (early 2000s 2nd ed), Communication Power" (2009/2013) ...

Seems like many of the questions you address newly with regard to AI related to how the role of dissent in any given society ... and WUaS very loosely is envisioning ~200 nation states, and 7111 living languages, in these regards. Dissenting ethical AI - re communication between AIs, and co-constituting processes too - will be interesting to observe, especially as AI develops episodic memory. (please keep me informed about this!).

In my ongoing envisioning of a Film-to-3D application at the street view, cellular and atomic scales, and re Google Street View/TensorFlow with Second Life, but with realistic group build-able avatar bots, it's the generation of avatar bots for surgery at the cellular level too (and atomic as well) ... but also those that might realistically speak all 7,111 ... that open data will be important for informing Ethical AI in these. Potentially this Film-to-3D application would go both ways too - so that one could CRISPR edit genes in 3D in Google Poly, brainstorming-wise, and then upload them via photogrammetry to film into organisms in species - with a big need for Ethical AI here as well.

Fascinating focus and history in your article - https://www.forbes.com/sites/cognitiveworld/2019/02/25/surprise-ai-in-2019/#14e8d6fb248a ... Am hoping World Univ & Sch can educate people in all ~200 countries' official main languages with MIT OCW-centric degrees re making them smarter, per your Yale advisor ... and with regards to Ethical AI as well.

Thanks again, Scott

RE Roberto's other interest in object related databases, I think this is a key -

Am curious how AI Ethics around natural languages' processing will do a brainstorming "Z-inspection ... " on the above relationships, and say, around Google Poly objects getting updated for surgery or CRISPR genetic engineering ... in a single realistic virtual earth which is planning to develop avatar bots with memory that would pass the Turing test or similar ...

Dear All, Professor John Hennessy, Celtic connections,

Since few of us made it to the Asilomar Scottish Country Dancing Ball in Monterey this past weekend, I'm writing to share the good news that genetic engineering for longevity seems to be proceeding rapidly:

Here's an example of an early experimental genetic therapy for longevity ...

Harvard Medical School @harvardmed
Scientists used a combination of 3 longevity-associated genes, delivered through a one-time injection, to dramatically improve or reverse multiple age-related diseases in mice (via @BostonGlobe)

https://twitter.com/harvardmed/status/1191802354271686657

Now how best to further develop these genetic engineering developments for longevity skillfully in a single realistic virtual earth for CRISPR Cas9 genetic engineering + ... so some of us might be able to go to the Asilomar Scottish Country Dancing Ball in 2152, or to the St. Catherine's Scottish Country Dancing Ball near Niagara Falls (for the Scotophiles in this email - and with some of whom I traveled twice to the St. Catherine's SCD ball in the mid-1970s :) in 12,432 (that's old!:), or live (and dance) to 150 yo in a 30 year old body, which I think is what Harvard Genetics' Professor has suggested might be possible - https://web.archive.org/web/20180605002848/https://www.wired.com/story/the-responsibility-of-immortality/ - but I can't currently find the quote (see, too, for related resources - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/06/montane-ecosystems-longevity.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/06/montane-ecosystems-longevity.html .

I invite us all to wiki-aggregate and wiki-teach further about this here at the Longevity wiki subject page at World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Longevity (and eventually in all ~200 countries' official / main languages, including potentially Scots' Gaelic - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic_language :)

Hi Dave,

Since it looks like there's no SCD or Open Band music-making at St. Clement's due to Veteran's Day - and so we won't be able to talk then as you had suggested - I thought I'd email you now. I know your CMO, Jon, a little from some years ago ...

From LinkedIn:

"Hi Dave, Nice to talk after SCD yesterday. FYI: beginning WUaS Med Schs & /Hospital https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School& some thoughts about Projects Baseline & ECHO - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/12/chiricahua-national-monument-projects.html -S"

Some thoughts came to mind with regards to what you told me about yesterday evening:

Brainstorming-wise, and with regards to successful interventions for your addiction and alcoholism patients, I wonder if you/RIA might be able to network with Project Baseline, and use getting your patients into a Project Baseline clinic IDEA, or similar, (your own clinics? ) to give their physical samples of blood, sweat, tears, saliva, stool, etc., and do a cardio exam in a clinic (or eventually even from home), where Project Baseline would then turn these physical samples into data ... to chart a path way to health for them. This is the idea behind Project Baseline as I understand it but best to 'brush up' on your Project Baseline knowledge for yourself, from Youtubes or similar) ...

So if your patients could be 'incentivized' to change their drinking habits and by getting on a cardio machine (and to exercise) initially, in the name of contributing to science and a study, and get into the clinic too, they might be incentivized to change their alcoholic behavior - a kind of educational approach too - and then you might be able to show further results, and thereby help you get RIA into the value chain (ie financial reimbursement loops). Your Stanford and MIT links might help you find your way into openings in Project Baseline study, created by Alphabet / Google / Verily / Stanford / Duke University 10,000 person project / study (and Project Baseline may already be showing results among alcoholics - re data to show Anthem etc.).

More about Project Baseline and Project ECHO here from 2017 -

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/12/chiricahua-national-monument-projects.html (and sprinkled throughout my active blog as well).

World University and School is envisioning our first online Medical School in English beginning about 4 years from now (after a CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree class beginning in 2020, a first Ph.D. class beginning in 2021, a first law class beginning in 2022, and potentially a Med Sch class in 2023 - as WUAS licenses with the state of CA's BPPE.

Project Baseline in this WUaS actual-virtual physical-digital envisioning would become the online hospital (re its virtual or digital focus) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - brainstorming-wise, and even for genetic engineering therapies on corresponding-to-humans' avatar bots via avatar bot electronic medical records,

And since MIT itself doesn't have a Med School or a Law School, WUaS seeks to emerge out of Stanford Medicine and Law for OpenCourseWare for these schools in ~200 countries' official / main languages.

WUaS sees Project ECHO - think MD specialists to rural populations in group video with a mentoring aspect (like a GI doctor, a pharmacologist and a psychiatrist for Hepatitis C) - with a mentoring aspect in group video, as budding Medical Schools in group video - https://twitter.com/ProjectECHO - and I heard and met its founder, Sanjiv Arora MD (whose daughter went to Stanford) at a Stanford Medicine Grand Rounds' talk.

Here's an example of an early experimental genetic therapy for longevity ...

Harvard Medical School @harvardmed 4h
Scientists used a combination of 3 longevity-associated genes, delivered through a one-time injection, to dramatically improve or reverse multiple age-related diseases in mice (via @BostonGlobe)

https://twitter.com/harvardmed/status/1191802354271686657

... which could be seen as a surgical procedure even with regard to the needle insertion, and which could conceivably be done in such an online WUaS hospital by a tele-robotic surgeon, and even with regards to an actual-virtual, physical-digital realistic virtual earth at the cellular and atomic levels too for STEM and for tele-robotic surgery (something I'm heralding) ... and think Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow and with group build-able Second Life with avatar bots, but realistic ones.

So with tele-medicine alcoholism approaches, and your company with its MD, entrepreneurial focus, and its legal relationship with the state of California, it would be interesting to explore further talking about how this could emerge as a part of the online hospital at WUaS, and also even as part of a medical course at World Univ & Sch in Med Schs in all 200 countries' official / main languages. What do you think about getting RIA into the value chain further by RIA networking with Project Baseline, brainstorming-wise?

Just some thoughts, and hope to talk further with you about this, perhaps at SCD in two Mondays.

Best, Scott

PS
re a realistic virtual earth, I'm thinking in terms of a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs, which is my actual-virtual ethnographic field site:
