Exploring a digital humanities' approach to a realistic virtual earth in Google Street View


Dear Jean and Hugh,

Very nice to see you over the holidays. And Happy New Year - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html ! Did you have a good holiday? Welcome to Miami, Jean (tomorrow, and tomorrow, and ... :)!


Hugh, at the brunch on 1/1/20 (at Ann's in Pgh), your mother suggested communicating a bit about your new director-ship (https://humanities.as.miami.edu/about-the-center/letter-from-the-director/index.html) position in the Humanities' Program at the University of Miami (https://humanities.as.miami.edu/about-the-center/staff-bios/hugh-thomas/index.html), - and brainstorming-wise, potentially about exploring a digital humanities' approach to a realistic virtual earth in Google Street View. How best to make these very easy and useful - and in exploring collaboration with Google even? Could we begin, brainstorming-wise, with your mother's writing her memoirs in the next 2 months in conversation with you in the SideBar of Google Street View? And in conversation with the University of Miami's Humanities' Program?

Jean, am curious about the potential to write one's memoirs in the sidebar of Google Street View, and potentially to add photos/videos to the main part of Street View too, and then to print to book from there. This would also be useful and potentially as easy as in a Word / GDocs' document - and for students of history, and anthropology, and the social sciences, too. 

Here's a MIT example of printing from the Google platform, called Paper Phone -
Paper Phone is not a joke. It is real...

... with additional benefits of Google Translate's ~100 languages. (Paper Phone has a goal of offering a paper to online addiction, so potentially psychotherapeutically; see 'labels').

Developing this approach to Digital Humanities in a realistic virtual earth would probably involve typing into Google Street View in the SideBar - and even from one's smartphone - and as a WRITING research tool especially. (There's much room for parallel STEM developments in Street View in these regards too, and potentially even for genealogical research with genetics).

And with regards too, brainstorming-wise, to a digital humanities' focus of online university libraries potentially in all ~7,111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - (planned at World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources), and with regard also to openness where MacMillan is closing down a bit -

A Google-centric Digital Humanities' approach as part of your Directorship, Hugh, and brainstorming-wise?

Do I have your correct email, Jean? Please let me know if you received this email as well.

Warm regards, Scott

Welcome to Miami, Jean!

As a follow up, with some further ideas, might it be possible for the Humanities' Center at Univ of Miami to develop a Digital Humanities' wing, and in collaboration with Google, Hugh?

And in regards, conceptually, to your writing your memoirs, Jean, in Google Street View, and students doing humanities' work newly in Street View too, it would be like my adding my first book "Naked Harbin Ethnography" to the SideBar in Google Street View (or coming into conversation with it in new ways once in Street View), and then adding photos / videos, patching them together into a realistic virtual earth ... and then potentially printing anew from Street View!

Here's the Harbin Gate as a start in Google Street View ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ and ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~).

Cheers!, Scott :)

Online real, real time Virtual Choir in many time zones? 


Dear Bruce and UUCPA, (and FUCoP - 1st UU Church of Pgh choir members),
- Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto
- First UU Church of Pittsburgh

Happy New Year (see letter below)!

Would be interested in exploring singing remotely (from here in Canyon 94516) in an exploratory way, and brain storming-wise on Thursdays and Sundays, for example - and with FUCoP in creative new ways in a different time zone (EST).

With regards to the idea of developing a virtual choir, e.g. building on Eric Whitacre's virtual choir work, and which I've touched on before with UUCPA, I just shared this with some of FUCoP:

"I'm also writing to let you know about this Virtual Choir wiki subject at MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Virtual_Choir - for open teaching and learning, and which I'm developing. World Univ & Sch would like to facilitate online choirs and music-making in real, real time, as well as much else musically :) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School. (I've sung in the 1st UU choir of Pgh in 2006-2007, and in the Unitarian Universalist Choir of Palo Alto's choir about 2 years ago for a semester, which is near Stanford). It would be great to explore World Univ & Sch ONLINE musically as it develops further.

UUCPA, did I read correctly that you might be heading toward real, real time online music-making with a new device on the piano?

I'd also like to e-introduce you to Kris Rust, musical director of 1st UU Church Pgh and some of the singers in this UU choir whom I heard sing on Christmas Eve, which was great!

Happy singing, and am hoping you're all feeling better soon.

Musical regards, Scott

Brakeley Briscoe fundraising? - and World University and School


Hi M,

Very nice to hear your variety of thoughts yesterday evening in words, and with regards to the complexities of family too. You're smart and I appreciate too your nuanced caring understandings.  Glad we may be communicating over the upcoming years, and centuries even!

Just sent this below to Alden (thought I had included Marianne's email too, but it turned out to be Alden's 2nd email), George Brakeley and Larry and all of Brakeley Briscoe at info @ BrakeleyBriscoe ...

Am hoping I hear back positively from George first within 2 business days (by Tuesday afternoon) or even today!

Love, Scott

Brakeley Briscoe & World University and  School

Dear Executive Chair Brakeley, President Marianne Briscoe, Ph. D., and Executive VP Alden F. Briscoe, & Brakeley Briscoe Associates,

I'm reaching out to you at Brakeley Briscoe, and as president of CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, in some need for your fundraising and management expertise - http://www.brakeleybriscoe.com/index.php?/brakeley/content/history/ - http://www.brakeleybriscoe.com/index.php?/brakeley/bio/abriscoe/ - as well as your capital campaign strategies - http://www.brakeleybriscoe.com/index.php?/brakeley/capital_campaigns/.

If we proceed, and as friends of Alden and Marianne, I wonder if they might play backbencher or weighty Friends' roles (in a Friendly / Quaker sense) in all of this. I'm also including Larry Viehland  in this email, who is the Chair of the Board, and Chief Financial Officer of World University and School.

I'm attaching a PDF of World University and School's (WUaS) 10% fundraising facilitation letter for your information, and as a starting place for related conversation. Here too is the

World University Foundation wiki page - ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation.

How might we best proceed? Shall we explore heading together toward the first $1 billion, and then talk about a trillion? World University and School's initial need is for $5,000 to begin licensing with the state of California's BPPE as WUaS seeks our 2nd online undergraduate class in the autumn of 2020 for free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric Bachelor degrees, first in English.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you, Executive Chair Brakeley.

Sincerely, Scott MacLeod

Doug, 

Nice to meet you with my mother on Lingrove near the Xmas party. 

At Xmas Eve dinner at Koehler's I mentioned connecting with Robert Zembowicz on Twitter, who is the CTO at Vanguard Mutual Funds I think, and Tweets much about machine learning - https://twitter.com/rzembo ... 

Here are some ways that Robert Zembowicz and World University and School may head together with regards to machine learning, particularly in the Google ecosystem -  
https://twitter.com/rzembo/status/1137763790387326976

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1200228375786221568?s=20

Check out too the Machine Learning at MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Machine_Learning (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) - and the MIT OCW courses that will eventually be for credit. 

And here's a kind of e-introduction: 

Fascinating @rzembo @6nop & re @WorldUnivAndSch in Google ecosystem #MachineLearning #ReinforcementLearning?  https://twitter.com/rzembo/status/1137763790387326976https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1200232823757496325?s=20

And please give my greetings to Jennifer, with whom it was great to talk at the party.  

Looking forward to staying in touch. 

Best, 
Scott

Hi Luke,

Nice to talk with you on the flight to Oakland from St. Louis. I like the wry humor, and the dialogue, and focus of 'Antique Humans' a lot 
- https://youtu.be/vrJxPc12ndA ... I wonder if we figure out how to reverse aging per MIT and Harvard Professor of Genetics' George Church (search on Woolly Mammoth in this blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/geyser-time-to-license-wuas-with-cas.html - and watch the George Church interview to get an idea about how it would work; see the 'longevity' label in my blog too :)), and live beyond the 122 years of Jeanne Calment, whether you'll have amazing new material to develop in your film's (satirical?) 'social commentary' :)

Will check out Torbjørn C. Pedersen's "Once upon a Saga" further - http://www.onceuponasaga.dk/blog - as well. 

Here's the 'Film Making' wiki subject at World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Film_Making (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - and planned in many languages). Check out the MIT OCW, which will eventually be for credit, and will grow too. Would you and your girlfriend like to explore teaching an online internet film-making course, with students in their homes, brainstorming-wise?

Would be curious to learn from your girlfriend and you how you'd suggest coding a new online platform for what she sells, like crafts, and perhaps with regard also to Actual-Virtual, Physical -Digital developments - and in the WUaS Bookstore / WUaS Press - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress.

Looking forward to staying in touch. If you make it to the Bay Area, and would like to sleep on a mattress in my front room (in Canyon CA 94516), you're welcome to. (Please let me know if you receive this if you can).

Friendly regards, Scott

Glad to write @WUaSPress just published ots 4th Harbin-inspired book "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!

Online psychoanalysis & psychiatry in many languages? (and at WUaS)


Hi Sid (Pin), Ma (Janie), ... and All,
(see, too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/pelican-just-had-vision-for.html)

Re previous questions of online psychoanalysis in many languages in this email thread, am curious too to study in these regards culture*identity questions. And music psycho-therapeutic questions too ... How best to plan for psychoanalysis with AI machine learning chat bots' too?

Am curious about how this Stanford psychiatry "Pushing the Envelope" conference - https://twitter.com/_Roberts_Laura/status/1214035524761063425?s=20 (check this out, as well as the head of Stanford Psychiatry, that is the Chairman, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences) - might be a collaboration opportunity? Sid - and what are some of your thoughts about online psychoanalysis in your role in HHS? Ed, how does Kaiser Permenente do psychiatry differently from Stanford psychiatry (online too) ... and possibly re electronic medical records as well ... and even brainstorming-wise re avatar bot electronic medical records? And Byron, at UCSF psychiatry?

Re longevity questions, see this post from recently on Sa 4 Jan 2020 - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/geyser-time-to-license-wuas-with-cas.html.

And see in this blog entry the George Church interview - "George Church Talks Age Reversal and Woolly Mammoth DNA" - https://www.pbs.org/wnet/amanpour-and-company/video/george-church-talks-age-reversal-and-woolly-mammoth-dna/) - re, in brief, how adding enzymes to aging DNA will extend life, and that this is already in clinical trials with mice and dogs - and on fast track. Fascinating ... will probably take much time to refine ...

Scott
Happy New Year (letter) -

Exploring a digital humanities' approach to a realistic virtual earth in Google Street View
- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/mudpot-exploring-digital-humanities.html - further) ...

Hi Hugh,

It's the time slider aspect of such a Google Street View-centric #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory (https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory?src=hashtag_click) concept, which, when mature, and when we can simply enter into King John's world (the subject of your upcoming Oxford UP book), for example, based on the developing evidence (and iteratively), that digital humanities' fostering will indeed be flourishing.

Thanks again, Scott

Ok twitter, I NEED YOUR HELP. I'm making a video about the connection between climate change and wildfire severity.

In your experience, what arguments do people come back with/what are hold-ups that people have when drawing the connection between these two things?

In text message on Sun 5 Jan 2020 (probably in Berkeley):

Ed: 
Haven't started "Elegy for Eddie" yet.   Put it high on my stack.  I'd like to get you a piece of German chocolate cake.  Where should we meet and when?  Thursday PM or Tuesday PM?  

Ed: I would call but am in

Ed: A car full of people.  Awkward to take up the space.


Scott: 
Hi Ed, are you all going to take a left turn in the van, and head up to Harbin as a group (and even to teach field work:)? Not sure whether "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! ..." will have arrived or not (check out poem on p 118 on consciousness?)   What's that bakery on Alcatraz and MLK in Berkeley? Thursday PM ... what would be some good possible times for you then?

to me

Dear Scotty, you flatter me to think I am of the on-line, digital generation.  In truth, I hardly do any on-line communications.  My philosophizing with my buddies is usually on the hiking trail or sitting with them in the evenings with a glass of wine in hand.  I suspect I will not be your best audience as an email correspondent.  Online interactions seem to have a distancing effect on me.  Sharing my innermost thoughts with a computer screen in between makes me feel sort of robotic ...I guess I have to accept my own personal limitations.  And as we talked about, virtual reality is a fascinating concept but pretty far afield for my daily existence. —Your multiplicity of ideas is indeed impressive and it pleases me that  you have such a wide audience for them.  Keep up the good works.  Once the political air has cleared, maybe people will have the mental energy to have clear/headed thoughts again.  You and your generation are our hope.  
      With regards...and a huge hug~~
Cuzzin Karen

Dear, dear Karen, 

Thanks so much for your email, and sharing your thoughts electronically! Am hoping I can seek & find a life partner for hikes and evening imbibing and conversation, about things intimate even - and even beginning a family! Am circulating in these regards - on hikes + .

Humans communicate ... and newly via the internet ... but perhaps you and I won't communicate all that much electronically, - but possibly on hikes in the future in DC (or the Bay Area even?) ... (and long into the future re longevity questions too?) I write / communicate / use language sometimes when I worry or am happy ... and with friends ... so via the internet for simplicity's sake, or face-to-face in person, it's all good ... :)

Interesting that Lee Rainie and Pew Research don't call any generation the internet generation, or rather "on-line, digital generation," but rather the millennials for 23-39 year olds (re research) - https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/09/09/us-generations-technology-use/ - and generation Z for 18-23 year olds (and probably re political research questions esp.).

Re the internet further
Am seeking to explore virtual Reality anew ... and re my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, and my new book too - https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity - "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs, than to realize it in virtual Reality" (which you have) ... where the poem on p 118 is about philosophical ideas about consciousness too, even! 

And while I teach about some of this - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - I do also find the internet fascinating, and what people do on it, and how people feel/think about it - and fascinating too to read that you find the web to have a distancing effect. 

Thanks for your thinking and feedback, Karen!

With regards...and hugs
~~ Scotty
Will blog tomorrow - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html?m=0 (Happy New Year!) - about my academic vision, teaching and research, and re actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs esp. :)

Wednesday, January 8, 2020

Good morning, Ma,

Nice to hear from Karen yesterday in the 'Online Psychoanalysis' email thread, - and in which she mentioned the word 'robot' too (perhaps re distancing idea with technologies - see email below, and her sentence "Sharing my innermost thoughts with a computer screen in between makes me feel sort of robotic" ...), ... and which you, Ma, too had said I was a number of times about me over Christmas and New Years.

A 'Desiderata' (poem) robot? (https://mwkworks.com/desiderata.html) ...

I think I also enjoy Angela & Victor's Yoga courses because they're freeing, and help one come in touch with one's 'inner body' in far-reaching and deep ways ... kind of the antithesis of being a robot ... in modernity (internetity) .... the information age (per Castells). ... (where becoming 'human' or a person may be a hippy thing here with regard to modernity's (limiting) roles, - & protesting them even?). 

So I've been wondering or thinking about what you might mean in calling me a robot, Ma ... a nerd?, a geek?, a logical operator? A bot as person in the information technology revolution? A thinker in a body? An automaton? What mean you? 

And is this praise? Or is this a new observation on your part - in your 'yclepting' me ( John Money's word for "to name, call or style" - http://scottmacleod.com/JohnMoneyConceptsOfDeterminism.html ) which as an exigency of being human (per Money too) is something all people do, something probably parents do, and something you and I do too :) - and what is it suggesting (or what do you mean, I wonder?)

Some DEFINITIONS I found for ROBOT: 
"a machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically"

(Automatic means:
"working by itself with little or no direct human control")

DEFINITION: 
"A ROBOT is a machine designed to execute one or more tasks automatically with speed and precision. There are as many different types of robots as there are tasks for them to perform. ... An autonomous robot acts as a stand-alone system, complete with its own computer (called the controller)."

DEFINITION:
"a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer."

Bot, by contrast, in computing:
"an autonomous program on a network (especially the Internet) that can interact with computer systems or users, especially one designed to respond or behave like a player in an adventure game."

(And, parenthetically, is your car a robot? -
"Is your car a robot? NO! But a modern car is full of sensors, motors and computer power - all the kind of things we expect to see in a robot. ... So we have the idea that a robot must be able to act autonomously, controlled by an internal program, rather than being controlled (or remote-controlled) by a human.")


In suggesting that I'm a robot, Ma, and with regard to my interest in these regards in the Desiderata poem, it's the last lines that could add something new to grow the idea that people (e.g. MIT students?) can be robots (and the words, spirit, God, soul throughout poem) ...

"And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy"

Just thinking about these questions (and social scientifically, & philosophically too :)

Your thoughts? Why do you say " You're a robot" to me, or call me a robot, Ma? :) Am seeking to make conscious our thinking about robots here too :) (and in a Lacanian 'speech act' way too:). 
Food for thought in creating & BUILDING Lego robots anew too! :)

While meditating this morning - it's a very beautiful morning here in Canyon, both looking east and west - this also came to mind re your suggesting I'm a robot: One key aspect of robots that makes them different from humans I think is agency (which could be loosely defined as free will, intentional causation, 'action or intervention, especially such as to produce a particular effect' which would include judgement and decision-making). So I wonder if, in calling me a robot, whether you're saying I don't have agency (or loosely free will)? So, are you saying, Ma, "You're not free (to act intentionally)" when you say to me "You're a robot"? :)

Looking forward to your Desiderata robot reply, MaBot :)

Hi Sandy, 

The printer company said my book of poetry just arrived yesterday at Tate Street in Portland at your place. Happy New Year, and Xmas, and I hope you enjoy. Did ...  

"To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual Reality" 

... arrive?  

Check out the poem on p 118, which is partly about western philosophical ideas about consciousness, as well as Harbin! 


I haven't yet thought through what my favorite poems are in "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! ... " like I did with my last year's book 

"Winding Road Rainbow: Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss" 

... which I gave you last year ... and which 3 are still ...  

Winding Road … and something like poetry came to me / 12
In the night I traveled north to Harbin / 17
The Poetry Commune at Berkeley / 93
- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/shoebill-winding-road-rainbow-harbin.html ...

Glad to write that "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!  ... " is the 4th book published in the Academic Press at World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - (which press is not yet developed with machine translation).

This book is part of a project to create a realistic virtual Harbin and realistic virtual earth, and I had hoped virtual Harbin - in this book - would be accessible in Google Street View with time slider by the time of publication, but not yet! :)

How is your New Year going? Ad how are you?

Love, Scott

Hi Sandy,

I'm writing to wish you a very happy new year, and I just put a present in the mail for you of my new book, "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to Soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual Reality" ! Enjoy - and as you'll read below, it's not yet possible to visit in VR.

Happy New Year and Season's Greetings! My holiday letter is below. Hope to see you sooner than later (and please say thanks to Kate for the Chaga mushroom powdered tea, and the Julte tea! And the stollen and honey look wonderful too which Ma is keeping). Very nice as well to talk with you on Christmas.  

Love, Scott


Dear friends,

Happy New Year 2020! And Merry Christmas ...  A Desiderata poem focus in 2020: https://mwkworks.com/desiderata.html (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/antarctica-mcmurdo-bay-merry-christmas.html)? 

Global university work continues daily - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university - with regards to wiki MIT OCW-centric World University and School. And it looks like we'll collaborate with Harvard and MIT's edX in 2020 for WUaS's 2nd class for free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric WUaS Bachelor degrees. And glad to write I just published my 4th book "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to Soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual Reality" (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html ~ http://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity) - and which I had hoped would be in Google Street View, with time slider, by the time of publication, but potentially at some point! My actual-virtual, physical-digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnography and poetry project continues, and am hoping to write and publish a 2nd actual-virtual Harbin ethnography FROM Google Street View with time slider in the next year or two! Will create my first Scottish small pipes' album this year, as well as publish my next book of poetry in 2020 too! Still seeking a life-partner with whom to begin a family. 

Happy New Year, and looking forward very much to seeing you in 2020! Here’s a poem from my new book with same name as title of book - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/chameleon-vision-poem-to-dance-or-pools.html?m=0 !

Is 2020 the year of the robot (or the 2020s) - and at World University and School too? And will the 2020s be the decade for Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital innovations, and Robot-Avatar Bot innovations too? And will we all have 'Avatar Bots' like email addresses (e.g. see the avatars in "Aphilo Scott MacLeod The Making of Virtual Harbin Introduction" - https://youtu.be/3nhvcHw54GE) that correspond to physical robots even - and conceptually with robots that we can first make in Lego Robotics' WeDo 2.0, Mindstorms EV3, and Lego Spike Prime Robotics, and then in Google Street View with time slider / with Brick Street View for robotics design? I'd chance to make these predictions.

World University and School is also seeking to plan for, brainstorming-wise, coding for all 7.5 billion people for the following reasons.

All 7.5 billion people, each a Personal Identification Number PIN# (instead of a Wikidata Q-item # number) for: 


i) wiki Universitians in 7,111 known living languages, and matriculated students in all ~200 countries, 

ii) Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, with genetic therapies, and for molecular tele-robotic surgery, for ex., 

iii) Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (and to alleviate poverty), and to DISTRIBUTE a single crypto-currency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (where the Euro is in 19 out of 28 EU countries, and backed by their central banks in one way or another) ... and potentially with UBI experiment recipients able, for example, to mine the "Mine Pi" crypto-currency (as a mineable single crypto-currency), developed by Stanford graduates, by clicking on the 'lightning button' brainstorming-wise. 

iv) a single family tree for genealogy research as in WikiTree (https://www.wikitree.com), and for aggregating DNA samples too (see item 2 again) ... and for innovative genealogical research.


In what ways could WUaS plan in Wikdata for all 7.5 billion people each a Wikidata Q-item # and for the above reasons and many more (and keeping in sync with Wikipedia's mission of "the sum of all human knowledge" where all 7.5 billion people generate this with their language, for example)?

See, too these 'longevity' blog posts here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity - with interesting prospects for extending life or reversing aging, beyond 122 years of age with genetic therapies. 


It’s been another generative year for ideas in terms of daily blog posts - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com - as well.

Happy New Year and best wishes to all of you and your loved ones in this holiday season!

"You're a robot" 
Defining Robots and explaining freeing and humanizing aspects of being human ...
  
Wednesday, January 8, 2020

Good morning, Ma,

Nice to hear from Karen yesterday in the 'Online Psychoanalysis' email thread, - and in which she mentioned the word 'robot' too (perhaps re distancing idea with technologies - see email below, and her sentence "Sharing my innermost thoughts with a computer screen in between makes me feel sort of robotic" ...), ... and which you, Ma, too had said I was a number of times about me over Christmas and New Years.

A 'Desiderata' (poem) robot? (https://mwkworks.com/desiderata.html) ...

I think I also enjoy Angela & Victor's Yoga courses because they're freeing, and help one come in touch with one's 'inner body' in far-reaching and deep ways ... kind of the antithesis of being a robot ... in modernity (internetity) .... the information age (per Castells). ... (where becoming 'human' or a person may be a hippy thing here with regard to modernity's (limiting) roles, - & protesting them even?). 

So I've been wondering or thinking about what you might mean in calling me a robot, Ma ... a nerd?, a geek?, a logical operator? A bot as person in the information technology revolution? A thinker in a body? An automaton? What mean you? 

And is this praise? Or is this a new observation on your part - in your 'yclepting' me ( John Money's word for "to name, call or style" - http://scottmacleod.com/JohnMoneyConceptsOfDeterminism.html ) which as an exigency of being human (per Money too) is something all people do, something probably parents do, and something you and I do too :) - and what is it suggesting (or what do you mean, I wonder?)


Some DEFINITIONS I found for ROBOT: 

"a machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically"

(Automatic means:
"working by itself with little or no direct human control")


DEFINITION: 
"A ROBOT is a machine designed to execute one or more tasks automatically with speed and precision. There are as many different types of robots as there are tasks for them to perform. ... An autonomous robot acts as a stand-alone system, complete with its own computer (called the controller)."


DEFINITION:
"a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer."


BOT, by contrast, in computing:
"an autonomous program on a network (especially the Internet) that can interact with computer systems or users, especially one designed to respond or behave like a player in an adventure game."


(And, parenthetically, is your CAR a ROBOT? -
"Is your car a robot? NO! But a modern car is full of sensors, motors and computer power - all the kind of things we expect to see in a robot. ... So we have the idea that a robot must be able to act autonomously, controlled by an internal program, rather than being controlled (or remote-controlled) by a human.")



AVATAR BOT?

Avatar bot definition ...
"In computing, an avatar is the graphical representation of the user or the user's alter ego or character. An icon or figure representing a particular person in a video game, Internet forum, etc. ... The term "avatar" can also refer to the personality connected with the screen name, or handle, of an Internet user."
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_(computing)

And see the video above as an example ~ "Aphilo Scott MacLeod The Making of Virtual Harbin" ...  https://youtu.be/3nhvcHw54GE ...



In suggesting that I'm a robot, Ma, and with regard to my interest in these regards in the Desiderata poem, it's the last lines that could add something new to grow the idea that people (e.g. MIT students?) can be robots (and the words, spirit, God, soul throughout poem) ...


" . . . And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy"


Just thinking about these questions (and social scientifically, and philosophically too :)

Your thoughts, Ma? Why do you say " You're a robot" to me, or call me a robot, Ma? :) Am seeking to make conscious our thinking about robots here too :) (and in a Lacanian 'speech act' way too:). 
Food for thought in creating & BUILDING Lego robots anew too! :)

While meditating this morning - it's a very beautiful morning here in Canyon, both looking east and west - this also came to mind re your suggesting I'm a robot: One key aspect of robots that makes them different from humans I think is agency (which could be loosely defined as free will, intentional causation, 'action or intervention, especially such as to produce a particular effect' which would include judgement and decision-making). So I wonder if, in calling me a robot, whether you're saying I don't have agency (or loosely free will)? So, are you saying, Ma, "You're not free (to act intentionally)" when you say to me "You're a robot"? :)

Looking forward to your Desiderata robot reply, MaBot :)

Love, Scott

Dear Anant, 

I'm writing to inquire in what ways World University and School might best offer MIT OCW-centric courses from, or via, edX in WUaS's 6 majors - worlduniversitandschool.org - beginning now in January 2020 (for Shahbaz Sanjer at WUaS for a free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree in English) and especially in the autumn of 2020, potentially with 500-2000 WUaS online students, in English, as WUaS begins licensing with the state of California's BPPE? WUaS students would take these courses in 'The College at WUaS' - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - and from related academic wiki subject pages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects. And WUaS would seek to begin our first Ph.D. class the following year - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Ph.D._Degrees_at_World_University_and_School (also with regards to BPPE licensing) - and also CC-4 MIT OCW-centric (perhaps in all ~32 departments there).  So would membership with edX, and getting edX course-specific links, with student registration information, that WUaS could add to our wiki pages and course catalog be the best way to proceed?. And how, for example, to chart out a 4 year online English Bachelor's degree for Shahbaz from CC-4 MIT OCW and via edX?  

With regards to edX and sustainability, and the Pi digital cryptocurrency in this email thread (and Mine Pi too - https://youtu.be/MsOaC61cR3U - which cyrpto-currency is designed to be mineable by end users - eg for UBI experiments?), WUaS seeks to code our platform for our incoming matriculating students - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and plan too potentially for matriculating students in all ~200 countries in their official and main languages, and plan also for WUaS wiki Universitans as speakers of each of all 7,111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and as teachers and learners in these related WUaS wiki schools (and then potentially for all 7.5 billion people, brainstorming-wise, - and explore even Universal Basic Income experiments to alleviate poverty, in all ~200 countries' languages, but also to distribute a single digital currency backed somehow by some number of ~200 countries' central banks). How WUaS would code the WUaS platform for our students, and who take WUaS courses via the edX platform, may be something we could explore coding together in these regards. This may involve communicating further with Wikidata / Wikibase (ie Lydia above) too for both the WUaS wiki platform, and all 7.5 billion people a Wikidata Q-item # (or PIN# - personal identification number based in Wikidata).

Thanks to Lee and Nakia for all your helpful communications so far (around our 45 minute phone conversation on 18 December 2019), and greetings, Sanjay! And thanks too to Larry for serving as the Chair of World University and School's Board, and to Steve Carson above for developing MIT OCW, and Peter Bothe in helping to grow WUaS in Germany (where WUaS may seek 500 English-speaking students this autumn 2020).

World Univ & Sch seeks to become the Harvard / MIT / Stanford / Oxbridge of the Internet, and in all ~200 countries and all 7,111 known living languages - so world class, and with regards to edX goals especially.  

What would be the best way, please, to proceed? Thank you!

All the best, Scott

Hi David,

How's your new year unfolding? How are you? How's your tutoring going? It was really great to see you in DC. And thank you for a very nice dinner!

Brainstorming, how would HAI workshops work in a #RealisticVirtualHarbin I wonder? Human Awareness Institute's 'Love Sexuality and Intimacy' workshops have been central to Harbin Hot Springs since the 1970s (and in another form since the '60s with Stan Dale, I think. In my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book, I've included my interview with Harbin's founder Ishvara in 2008 where he touches on some of this). With your and your landlord's interest in HAI workshops, and from the Washington DC area, a whole new creative dynamic could emerge in exploring them online {~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ with Second Life conceptually, but moving toward realism}, I'd think. Thoughts? 

Such online HAI workshops, or similar, and named something new perhaps, could potentially complement on-the-ground HAI workshops such as in DC (and far from Harbin), I'd think too, and possibly offer alternative cultural approaches to some of the junk that might arise with them otherwise. Appreciating the Awareness word in the HAI name re consciousness and >learning< love, sexuality and intimacy. Pretty rad idea-wise, but I don't know HAI's history or track record (in the Now) something I might seek to diverge from online somehow, but which might now be as interesting in virtual reality, as in reality  ... :)

Did a Youtube search on Human Awareness Institute's 'Love Sexuality and Intimacy' workshops, as well as on Stan Dale, and found the following HAI talk and culture ... interesting language ... and re my unfolding actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, esp ... HAI seems to have taken sex education from the 1960s forward to a degree of sophistication ... and California's Harbin culture seems to support and inform this.

At 5:30 here - https://youtu.be/T3BrTWu3myA - I recognize and know the woman on the right, from Harbin, and who asked to be taken off the World Univ & Sch's email list 2 or 3 years ago ... (am not sure why! ... sex trade questions come to mind ... and re ethics' questions ... ) Yet HAI seems too to create a culture of hope and potentiality around powerful emotions and experiences of love, intimacy and sexuality ... what an interesting cultural creation ... and how will HAI develop after the Harbin valley fire of September 2015, and at Harbin, other places around the world ... but especially online? 

Would appreciate it too if there were a focus on friendship in HAI sales' pitches (I'll call these below, in part). Tweeted about some of this:

David, 

Brainstorming-wise and following up, I think online HAI workshops, conceptually, could dovetail with creating online Angela and Victor Yoga workshops, and I.T.-wise - since

... it can be hard to get to these places A) Harbin Hot Springs, and B) Lesvos, Greece, and

... both have been taught at Harbin, and

... both are learning-oriented (and right out of the 1960s and '70s as well :)

... and re the Sexuality wiki subject at World Univ & Sch as well - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sexuality

Hi Karen, and Erica (and Janie Ma),

Thanks again so much for your hospitality in Washington DC after Christmas. It was really nice to see you and to visit.

Am seeking to send a few great photos to you from a different (less full) email account - musicalmacflower@gmail.com - above, and soon.

Hugs, your cousin, Scott

Janie and Karen,
And here a few more Renwick AR pictures, - and, in particular, how the exhibit worked, which I found innovative:
1 hold tablet up to ceramic stump on gallery floor - bar code connects
2 see augmented reality in tablet
3 see virtual text description of AR
4 see artist's flower painting on wall, upon which the AR flower is based.
Grant Kirkpatrick did the multimedia, and Ginny Ruffner, the flower paintings. 
Good exploratory use of AR in major museum :)

I also found a very nice 53 second video of you walking / us on the Washington Mall on that brilliant day, but it's over the 25 MB limit of my Gmail account, so will have to wait for another day.
Perhaps I'll be able to post it ny blog or similar.
In the meantime I'm including a few pictures from the virtual flower / augmented reality exhibit from the Renwick ...

World Univ & Sch online Bachelor’s degrees would entail taking ~40 courses over 4 years. Newly, WUaS is seeking via the edX platform to make it possible for students to get a certificate for each course they take. 


2
World Univ & Sch is in communication with edX and the MIT Office of Digital Learning re coding for manuscripts, registration, matriculation, etc - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University.  And WUaS is also in communication about seeking to plan for students and wiki- 'Universitians' in all ~200 countries' official and main languages, and then speakers of all 7,111 known living languages, as open wiki teachers and learners. WUaS is seeking then to proceed planning-wise for all 7.5 billion people each a Wikidata Q-item, of PIN# (and with regards to exploring facilitating a single crypto-currency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks, and distributed via UBI experiments).  


WUaS will explore further the role of transfer credits in our subsequent communications with edX and as WUaS licenses with CA's BPPE. WUaS sees its role as to the individual. 


3
World Univ & Sch seeks to make its web site un-hackable, so secure - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - including the donations' button. Your contributions to 501 c 3 tax-exempt World Univ & Sch are very welcome: World Univ & Sch, PO Box 442, Canyon, CA 94516.  And WUaS seeks to update our web site as soon as possible. 


4
World Univ & Sch Q & A and News are occurring again on Mondays at 10 am Pacific Time - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch - and are OPEN, with an invitation to participate in the LiveStream or to join in the video conversation in LightStream (email info@worlduniversityandschool.org if you'd like to join the e-mailing, or to video conference)! 
The next open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting will meet on the 3rd / THIRD Saturday of the month, on January 18, 2020 at 9am Pacific Time for an hour.

Hi Ed,

At the close of getting together on Thursday, you mentioned something about a 'real identity crisis' - and with regards to getting a Real ID in California, which Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) pictures you shared with me, just as I was landing in Oakland on 2 Jan 2020. How's your identity crisis going? :) Did you get your CA REAL ID in the mail yet? Are you real?

Am reminded in these regards of Angela and Victor's 'Who Are We Anyway?' web page - https://angela-victor.com/content/who-are-we-anyway - and Yogini Angela's poem or teaching therein - "Who Are We: Angela?" https://angela-victor.com/angela-farmer - which also seems identity related ... (and hand written, but then digitally put on this web page). Here's Angela's poem: 


Who am I
whispered the wind
as it blew through my hair? 

Who am I 
sang the sea
as a wave like a snake
curled over the beach

This is I
croaked the rock
but I'll be gone by tomorrow

And the sun grew hotter 
as I tumbled through my breath
and fell
into darkness, into nothing . . . 
into space
is this who I am? 


A new breath began

(image of beach, rock and sun)

For me Yoga is a journey each day 
down into my underworld 
not knowing 
what I shall find . . . . . 

It is a 'kind of death' 
to meet those places in my body
that still feel pain 
that still hold fear
from long forgotten times . . . 

Then with quiet and gentle acceptance of these 
little parts of me, the sad or hidden parts, 
the lonely or ugly parts . . . 
seeds of release are planted 
and the outcome is a gift
that inspires my teaching, 
enriches my life (image).

I feel such joy when I see a student
finding courage to enter her or his own 
inner-underworld in their own unique 
way. They discover their own creativity in breath
and movement as deep places un-ravel
and the power and beauty that brings to them. 

In this process, the terms "teacher' and 
"student" dissolve and we enter an 
awareness of
innocence and gratitude. 


Appreciating here the hand written aspect of Angela's poem - https://angela-victor.com/angela-farmer - and appreciating too the invitation to head further into my own 'underworld' or 'Hades' herein, and wonder too about my identity as a Yoga teacher as well, inspired by Angela & Victor, but creative in its own way and re "Hippy-anjali Yoga Notations" ~
http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html ... online as well.


{Yoga at World University and School ! ~
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Yoga
How best to move this online, and beyond, for ex., the many Youtube videos of Angela and Victor?}


Am continuing to journal with pen on new paper, thanks to your great gift, Ed, of this beautiful new 'Marco Polo Journal' ... and in the process of which I'm learning ... re the digital especially, but also with regard to the creativity of hand-writing with pen, and drawing or creating art, too ... and perhaps a bit now in conversation with Angela's writings ...

Is, per Angela's invitation here in poem and in courses, going into one's own 'underworld' via the body (and Yoga movement) - inner body for her - a kind of therapy as well? (It echoes the explorations of one's own 'unconscious' via free association of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis - Je préfère Lacan - but includes for me the bodymind, and what I'll call 'inner releasing actions' re meditation too )

And Victor's "Who Are We: Victor?" is interesting and touching too ... and part of their Yoga marriage teachings as well. ... 

. . . 

So how's your identity crisis going, Ed? :) Did you get your CA REAL ID in the mail yet? Are you real?  I think my personal crisis of a few years' ago is past, thank goodness . . . 

And on with identity questions here, re Yoga too, even as World Univ & Sch unfolds, like a flower. Is WUaS a kind of Yoga too, and part of my teaching in these regards, as well ... and identity-wise too? Am hoping I'll hear back from edX soon about collaboration inquiry I emailed about yesterday.  Thanks again for the 'The Journeys of Scott MacLeod in an Internet World,' my new, blank, hand-writable 'Marco Polo Journal,' a birthday gift from you :)

Fond regards, Scott

Hi Ed,

Thanks again for the brilliant blank 'Marco Polo Journal' ... appreciating the red and white wrapping paper much too ... I've written a number of pages in it already ... am calling it 'The Journeys of Scott MacLeod in an Internet World' ... where this is kind of private journal, in contrast to my blog (web log?) which is kind of public ... :) Who am I writing it for? Thought I might write it in the form of a journey like in Tolkien's Hobbit and Lord of the Rings ... and for my kids. Then looked up: 

How is journaling therapeutic?
Journal therapy is a writing therapy focusing on the writer's internal experiences, thoughts and feelings. This kind of therapy uses reflective writing enabling the writer to gain mental and emotional clarity, validate experiences and come to a deeper understanding of him/herself.
(http://projects.hsl.wisc.edu/SERVICE/modules/12/M12_CT_TherapeuticJournaling.pdf)

Then looked up Quaker journaling (a centuries' old practice) and found (unexpectedly) - https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentID=4552&ContentTypeID=1 

But "The Travels of Marco Polo" are neither really a journal - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Travels_of_Marco_Polo - https://www.khanacademy.org/partner-content/big-history-project/expansion-interconnection/exploration-interconnection/a/marco-polo - nor apparently the record of an Italian merchant seeking millions (also the name of his book, ... after his nick name "The Million", deriving from Polo's nickname "Emilione") in Asia ... ) ... some musings (and how to get these into the journal? - smartphone photography and then print and paste? or electronic circuit ink pen into Google Maps / Street View with Lego even in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForAnthropology  #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego #RealisticVirtualEarth somehow) ...

Re the Marco Polo map in the beginning of the blank journal, this just came through in email from Google Maps - 





And a little easier to see ... 




Could be the beginnings of creating a map of travels from Google Maps ... cool ... 

AND,
here are the 2 MIT Tech Review articles I mentioned, in different form, and re thinking about cell phones in teens' lives ...

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/614934/teenagers-without-cell-phones

Am seeking to turn this too into a new form of the printing press - to print books on paper from Google Street View from GDocs in the SideBar, for example;
https://www.technologyreview.com/s/614669/googles-big-plan-to-fight-tech-addiction-a-piece-of-paper/

'To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! ... " may have arrived today at the Post Office ... when might be a good day for me to give it to you? This Thursday or Tuesday PM? Next weekend? 

Fond regards, Scott

Ed,

And thanks especially for the spiral-bound 'Marco Polo Asia' journal (with pages from the Asia journal pasted into a blank journal) to write in - and come in conversation with especially. It opens a whole new great way to journal, and with my own pen (re my blog - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/writing?m=0) ... what a wonderful birthday gift. Thank you!

I've begun writing in it with your text message from yesterday:

"Can't talk now. Call me later?"

... will see what the first page from book or Polo's journal - is it "Il Millione" ... or  "The Travels of Marco Polo" ? - says ...

As he travels along the silk road ...

In images in Google search, looks like he's portrayed as a scholar and archer ... and Rustigielo wrote these travels it looks like too.

Have begun handwriting in it ... a new journey begins! :)

Fond regards,
Scott

Paper journal is begun and changing the way I think about writing things, journaling and generativity ... a good conversation ...

Ed,
what shall I call it, this new journal, as in the title of a book?
... 'The Journeys of Scott MacLeod in an Internet World' ...
Perhaps ...  :)

Thank you, Ed!

Hi Ed,

Thanks so much for the birthday celebration and the delicious Chocolate Pave cake! Nice to see you, especially!

Here's the Tweet (from MIT) about the teacher who asked his students to turn in their cell phones ... 

This teacher asked his students to turn in their cell phones. After just two weeks, the majority began to think that their phones were limiting their relationships, compromising their own lives, and somehow cutting them off from the “real” world.

My New book, "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! ... " is in the mail to Canyon 94516, and perhaps I can give in to you in person after it arrives. (You'll find newly my favorite poems in it here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/venus-occults-jupiter-new-book-of.html. And you'll also find here the NPR interview with MIT / Harvard Prof. of Genetics' George Church on longevity and how this works - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/geyser-time-to-license-wuas-with-cas.html  ... search on 'Woolly Mammoth' ...  :)

Honey in the Bag upcoming album! 

Many great piping tunes, esp. the 'Gaelforce Wind' set, 2 tunes of which are actual piping tunes - in Open Band (Berkeley)'s Scottish Country Dancing sheet music for Monday 1/13/20 ... Glad we're playing the 'High Road to Linton' reel (again) too ... an opportunity to bring this fast reel up from 170 bpm to 220 bpm (on my metronome) ... and then apply this tempo to all SCD piping reels. Glad too re these 'discoveries' to have piped between 10 & 11pm.

It would be great to live in Scotland for another year or three, and play gigs (and develop MIT OCW-centric wiki Scotland World Univ & Sch, in a few languages even - eg English, Scots' Gaelic & Scots), coming into conversation with Anna & Mairearad

PS: Byron, Cindy (as MDs - medical doctors) and All, what do you think of the prospects through genetic therapy of living beyond 122 years of age:

I wonder if we figure out how to reverse aging per MIT and Harvard Professor of Genetics' George Church (search on Woolly Mammoth in this blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/geyser-time-to-license-wuas-with-cas.html - and watch the George Church NPR interview to get an idea about how it would work; see the 'longevity' label in my blog too :)), and live beyond the 122 years of Jeanne Calment, whether we'll all be celebrating Scottish music at age 835. That's old! :) ... Happy New Year! - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html .... Gives new meaning to 'many happy returns!' :)

Hi Lillian, Hugh (& All), 

Very nice to visit around the Xmas dining room table recently. How are you doing in Texas, Lillian? How has your transition been?

Lillian, did you see these 5 news' business models - From co-op ownerships to statewide initiatives, these five innovative local news business models are worth watching in 2020.   ... https://medium.com/trust-media-and-democracy/5-business-models-for-local-news-to-watch-in-2020-82223d856896 -  from the Knight Foundation (and more in this email) per our conversation then?

Also, Hugh, this is very mind-expanding re a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHumanities & a #RealisticVirtualEarth and especially with #AvatarBots (and eventually with regard to #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital and even with actual-virtual Lego robotics' developments )

Dear Ed, John (chairman of Alphabet), Robert (chairman of Stanford Medicine), Roland and Hank (Stanford Law Professors), and Larry (chairman of the Board at MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch),

Looking forward to your panel moderation, Ed -
'Is the Right Thing Really Shades of Grey?  Building an Ethical Culture in Business: Why it’s Hard to Do the Right Thing on a Corporate Level' this Thursday - http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=b9cssleab&oeidk=a07egp3z2du0898928b - having been impressed with a number of your previous Stanford Law SVDX presentations and panel moderations (on 2/18/16, 3/16/17 & 3/15/18).

Great to meet you too, John, at the opening autumn 2018 Stanford Law SVDX meeting (and at 2 of your "Leading Matters"' book conversations, as well).

With regards to both wings of WUaS:
A) 501 c 3 non-profit World Univ & School and the
B) for profit general stock company the WUaS Corporation

- both planned in ~200 countries' official / main languages, and as wiki-schools in all 7,111 known living languages - how best to grow these ethically re all the cultural and linguistic diversity, newly online, inherent in WUaS's goals, and with these 14 planned revenue streams - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - on both wings?

Re pre-networking, and questions of building ethical cultures on both of WUaS's wings - with planned online Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - and Law Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - in ~200 countries' official / main languages, and wiki-schools in all 7,111 known living languages - am curious how the development particularly of WUaS's information technology platforms can shape or inform WUaS's ethical corporate business cultures (eg re single cryptocurrency in some of all ~200 countries, and distributed via UBI experiments - brainstorming-wise to all 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar).  And in what ways could Alphabet and Google's experience be harbingers for developing ethical online business cultures - and for WUaS to learn from? And in what ways could WUaS begin to explore collaborating with Google and Alphabet IT-wise as WUaS seeks to grow our work force to 2.2 million people (about the size of Walmart with time)?

Big announcement & development re FREE & MIT & beginning NOW in Jan 2020 here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/rhubarb-free-to-students-bachelor.html (at MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World Univ & Sch) - a first free online 4 year MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree, in English literature, as WUaS begins licensing with CA's BPPE, and in collaboration with edX, where Anant Agarwal is edX's CEO and your previous Ph.D. student, Professor Hennessy. See 1st minute from WUaS's last open monthly business meeting - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/01/minutes-for-dec-21-2019-wuas-monthly.html (from 12/21/19).

Re building ethical business culture too, WUaS is Quaker-informed (non-theistic Friends' - NtF - or atheistically Quaker informed to be more accurate) with regards to shades of grey questions (and there's a book by Quaker John Punshon called "Portrait in Grey: A Short HIstory of the Quakers" in these 'grey' regards, and with regards to a kind of philosophy or identity informing business culture too).

Ed, am curious in particular how all of you will address the question of corporate (e.g. Stanford, Alphabet, Silicon Valley, California as examples of culture too) culture or identity in the shaping of building an ethical culture. (I'm an anthropology where actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs is my ethnographic field site re questions of culture, or alternative culture, too).

Looking forward to SVDX on Thursday morning, and thank you!

Sincerely, Scott

Angela, Victor (in Greece), Lynn, Satya, Andrew and Patricia!

Happy New Year (letter) :) ~ https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html ~ 

I blogged about your 'Who are we : Angela?' poem recently, Angela - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/black-pepper-real-identity-crisis-am.html - and your edifying Underground Yoga DVD trailer here too, Victor ... and a recent Marco Polo Journal gift herein too!

Gruess Gott as the say in Bavaria (to greet people), and 'Um Gottes Willen' - God willing - as they say too as an exclamation - https://angela-victor.com/content/schedule !

Warm regards, 
Scotty


Also, this is very mind-expanding re a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHumanities & a #RealisticVirtualEarth #RealisticVirtualHarbin and especially with #AvatarBots (and eventually with regard to #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital and even with actual-virtual Lego home robotics' creating developments):

Warm greetings from Canyon California 94516 ... with an invitation to visit the next time you're in the SF Bay Area teaching Yoga or heading to Harbin Hot Springs (haven't been yet to actual Harbin since it re-opened in January 2019)!

But I have been to this virtual Harbin Gate house a few times 
~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~)

... and my 4th Harbin-inspired book just arrived in the Canyon US Post Office today ... 

Am glad to swrite that my 4th book, "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs, than to realize it in virtual Reality" is published and available - https://www.amazon.com/Dance-Pools-Virtually-different-Springs/dp/0578625490 - but not yet in VR ... 

Harbin cheers,

On 18 Dec 2019, WUaS spoke with edX in Cambridge MA for 45 minutes.
Per edX let's "discuss World University becoming an edX member or using edX courses with your students as a customer—all that is open territory," and our 18 Dec 2019 conversation, WUaS would like to become a member of edX and begin to offer online edX courses as soon as January 2020 if possible please. How would this work? Would WUaS send the $500 in membership monies to edX, and receive edX course site-links (which WUaS would post here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_Literature - for example), with student sign-up / matriculation info and eventual access to grades, etc. - which information WUaS could then also share with the state of California's BPPE (Bureau for Private PostSecondary Education), as WUaS begins the licensing process in the state of California?

Please remember that World University and School is CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric and seeks to offer as many courses as possible from MIT OCW - all for free-to-students' Bachelor's (and Ph.D.) degrees in English, as WUaS licenses first with the state of California's BPPE for these 2 degrees. Thank you.


item -
WUaS continues to seek the initial $5000 to begin licensing with CA's BPPE


item -
For autumn 2020:
in what ways might World University and School best offer MIT OCW-centric courses from, or via, edX in WUaS's 6 majors - worlduniversitandschool.org - beginning now in January 2020, potentially with 500-2000 WUaS online students, in English, as WUaS begins licensing with the state of California's BPPE? WUaS students would take these courses in 'The College at WUaS' - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - and from related academic wiki subject pages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects. And WUaS would seek to begin our first Ph.D. class the following year - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Ph.D._Degrees_at_World_University_and_School (also with regards to BPPE licensing) - and also CC-4 MIT OCW-centric (perhaps in all ~32 departments there). So would membership with edX, and getting edX course-specific links, with student registration information, that WUaS could add to our wiki pages and course catalog be the best way to proceed?


item -
WUaS will participate in a Wikidata office hour again on 22 January 2020.


item -
World Univ & Sch has inquired with Alphabet's Chairman John Hennessy about collaboration with regards to information technologies' development, platform and web sites' coding:

planned online 

Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - and 

Law Schools -

With regards to edX and sustainability, and the Pi digital cryptocurrency in this email thread (and Mine Pi too - https://youtu.be/MsOaC61cR3U - which cyrpto-currency is designed to be mineable by end users - eg which could be used for UBI experiments), WUaS seeks to code our platform for our incoming matriculating students - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and plan too potentially for matriculating students in all ~200 countries in their official and main languages, and plan also for WUaS wiki Universitans as speakers of each of all 7,111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and as teachers and learners in these related WUaS wiki schools (and then potentially for all 7.5 billion people, brainstorming-wise, - and explore even Universal Basic Income experiments to alleviate poverty, in all ~200 countries' languages, but also to distribute a single digital currency backed somehow by some number of ~200 countries' central banks). How WUaS would code the WUaS platform for our students, and who take WUaS courses via the edX platform, may be something we could explore coding together in these regards. This may involve communicating further with Wikidata / Wikibase (ie Lydia above) too for both the WUaS wiki platform, and all 7.5 billion people a Wikidata Q-item # (or PIN# - personal identification number based in Wikidata).


So,
all 7.5 billion people a Wikidata Q-item # (or PIN# - personal identification number based in Wikidata) for ...

item -
1) a single cryptocurrency 
facilitated by ~200 countries' central banks distributed via UBI experiments (and taught by law faculty at World University and Schools' online law schools in ~200 countries' languages, above)

2) computer glasses
- as a 3rd computer for everyone on planet, and for VR (virtual reality) & AR (augmented reality) ... and for a realistic virtual earth as STEM field sites, and classrooms at WUaS (think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensoreFlow, Translate with realustic avatar bots, conceptually.

HI Janie, Erica, family, Mark, and All,

With my mother (Janie) just having got an Ancestry.com Ancestry DNA kit for Xmas (but she didn't sign up for the Ancestry.com FamilyTrees with related impressive document search), and having gotten some documents from Edith Ethridge and possibly newly Erica Blanton (Karen Leighty's daughter both in DC), I have an ongoing series of questions about ownership of data. 

First thought: Keep your own copies of your photos and documents, if you choose to engage these platforms. (The internet and machine learning change the dynamics of ownership questions here too). I appreciate WikiTree seeking to head toward Creative Commons' licensing, and also appreciate Ancestry.com's Ancestry DNA service (which seems to be somewhat leading the pack).

I searched on and found the following as well: 

WikiTree just emailed this photo scan-a-thon information - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Scan-a-Thon - which may be interesting re questions of ownership of family history pictures, documents and data. More to think through - but I think the CC-licensing (like "copyright for sharing") would be more instituted in WikiTree than the proprietary licensing of Ancestry.com (for management) and re one's own personal family documents. What do you think?

And re scanning ... ownership of data questions ... and answers? You and I  may have emailed some of these questions before, but I'm thinking about this a bit further too. I searched and found the following re data, WikiTree and Ancestry compared in a sense:


Who owns Wikitree data and can I get it back?

You can export most data through GEDCOMs, but you are correct that GEDCOMs cannot include photos. We don't have another export medium. It's highly recommended that you keep copies of everything you upload. This shouldn't be the only place you store anything.

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/195663/who-owns-wikitree-data-and-can-i-get-it-back

are WikiTree GEDCOM files creative commons licensed?

Photo Discoverability and Creative Commons Licenses
https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/750592/photo-discoverability-and-creative-commons-licenses

"I deeply appreciate that many WikiTree folks are trying to use Creative Commons Licenses for the photos and scans that they upload" AND "However, it is unfortunate that WikiTree has not yet integrated Creative Commons Licenses into the website's architecture."
https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/750592/photo-discoverability-and-creative-commons-licenses



who owns Ancestry.com data?

Ancestry.com takes DNA ownership rights from customers and their relatives
https://www.geneticsandsociety.org/article/ancestrycom-takes-dna-ownership-rights-customers-and-their-relatives

Ancestry has a history of backtracking on promises to customers
https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/article210969549.html

I also think I'll be able to go back to trace my family history through the Chadbourne line to Edward I, for example, in WikiTree, whereas Ancestry.com seems to be DNA & document focused, and may not go back much past the 1850s in Scotland, or  similar.
Cheers, Scott

Hi Pin,

How are you? Visiting DC is fun, and with my mother and cousin. Saw a great virtual exhibit at the Renwick today! How are you, Mary, and your parents over this holiday?

Looking forward to seeing you with my mother on Sunday at noon, and to lunch at your parents! What's your parent's full address? See you soon!

Have been intending to do a blog post about visiting the Renwick museum, (and related virtual experiences even), and other museums in DC with you for a while, and will add all the good photos I took to this, and may send some along as well, if it isn't easy for you to download them! (Perhaps by Sunday!) And blogged a bit today -about all the robotics' language + - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/taiga-aphilo-scott-macleod-making-of.html - I've been hearing from you both :)

Memories are an interesting avenue to head in too with family history at some point. How best to do this in a focused way even? :)

Warm regards, Scott

P.S.: Your email here came when I was on a great walk out the 'ridge road' near where I live in Canyon 94516 in East Bay MUD (Municipal Utilities District) ... which is basically at least a 7 miles' long drive in green wood south from where I live to out of the 'park', (and contains Oakland's San Leandro water reservoir ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Bay_Municipal_Utility_District) ... with amazing views of the tops of mountains (like Mt Diablo) around here with NO houses or development on them due to great late urban planning. While there are no houses atop these big hills and ranges, there are big cities all around too including Lafayette, Concord, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton ... and quite a few more ... all fairly new large cities too, and close to the rest of the SF Bay Area cities. :) ... It's 331 square miles of watershed with about 7 reservoirs -

Stanford Medicine talk - “After the Algorithm: Making Machine Learning Work in Healthcare”


Dear Leonard,

Thanks so much for your excellent Stanford Medicine talk yesterday - BMIR Research Colloquium: Leonard D’Avolio, Ph.D “After the Algorithm: Making Machine Learning Work in Healthcare” - https://stanford.zoom.us/j/761367165 - https://medicinecalendars.stanford.edu/event/bmir-research-colloquium-leonard-davolio-ph-d-after-the-algorithm-making-machine-learning-work-in-healthcare/ - https://bmir.stanford.edu/education/colloquia.html . 

I'm following up in writing because I'd sincerely like to make an impact on health care via data (and via MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch) - and with regard to what I'm calling 'avatar bot electronic medical records' (and in many ways in Medicine), and brainstorming-wise for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar, - and potentially seeking to improve electronic health record keeping along the way. In developing CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, WUaS seeks to develop online line Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with online teaching hospitals - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - for online clinical care, and in all ~200 countries' official and main languages, and potentially in all 7,111 known living languages too. 

By 'Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records" (newly integrated for genetic therapies, and for molecular tele-robotic surgery, etc., for ex. ... and in #ArtificialHumans), for all 7.5 billion people each with a Wikidata Q-tiem #, I have in mind, also, these 5 initial focuses, all together: 

i) wiki Universitians in 7,111 known living languages, and matriculated students in all ~200 countries,

ii) Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, with genetic therapies, and for molecular tele-robotic surgery, for ex.,

iii) Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (and to alleviate poverty), and to DISTRIBUTE a single crypto-currency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks probably via regulation (where the Euro is in 19 out of 28 EU countries, and backed by their central banks in one way or another) ... and potentially with UBI experiment recipients able, for example, to mine the "Mine Pi" crypto-currency (as a mineable single crypto-currency), developed by Stanford graduates, by clicking on the 'lightning button' brainstorming-wise.

iv) a single family tree for genealogy research as in WikiTree (https://www.wikitree.com), and for aggregating DNA samples too (see item 2 again) ... and for innovative genealogical research.

v) Computer glasses for all 7.5 billion people on the planet - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/outback-3-computers-per-person-all-75.html?

- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/arabian-sand-gazelle-minutes-for-annual.html

As a Harvard professor for ~10 years, and with your significant knowledge and experience with Artificial Intelligence in medicine and healthcare spaces, I wonder how best to further come into communication about all of this.

I've been in touch with Stanford chairman of Medicine, Robert Harrington MD, about this in a number of ways (including meeting in person). And I wonder too, whether you know Harvard Medicine Professor Emeritus, Richard Robb MD (https://eye.hms.harvard.edu/richardrobb), who is a family friend (since I was about age 2). 

Thanks for your excellent Stanford Medicine talk, Leonard, and I look forward to communicating further about this. And thank you.

Best regards, Scott 

See, too, the MIT OCW-centric 'Artificial Intelligence' wiki subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence (and related wiki subjects, such as 'Machine Learning' - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - all of which will eventually offer online courses, for credit, potentially in all ~200 countries' official/main languages).

and with regards to online MIT OCW-centric https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School in ~200 nation states' official languages. (Think too, Alphabet/Google/Stanford/Duke University's Project Baseline as basis for EHR, with Project ECHO, as basis for online Medical Schools, all of which one can read more about here in the Medical Schools''label' in my daily blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Medical%20Schools).

The talk is an honest view of the potential of ML as well as the cultural, economic, and practical barriers that stand in the way of progress. The goal of the talk is to begin to prepare students, entrepreneurs, data scientists, managers, clinicians, and executives for what really matters -what comes after the algorithm.

Leonard D’Avolio, Ph.D. helps government, academia, philanthropy, and industry use data to improve healthcare, with a particular focus on machine learning. He is the co-founder of Cyft, a healthcare analytics company, and an Assistant Professor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He serves as an advisor to the Helmsley Charitable Trust Foundation and several healthcare startups and is a board member for Youth Development Organization in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Several institutions including the National Cancer Institute, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, National Library of Medicine, and the Helmsley Charitable Trust Foundation have funded his work. His straightforward and practical advice on using data to improve healthcare has made him an internationally sought-after speaker and his writing and research are routinely featured in academic and industry publications.

How to connect to monthly meeting at World University and School


From: info@worlduniversityandschool.org

Peter, Larry, Massimo

Hi Massimo,

Great, and thanks for your email. Emailing currently is the best way to join WUaS Monthly Business Meeting. Presently, LightStream is the way to go for video conferencing eg https://youtu.be/ZPxeyQdCzr4 (which records to Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch), but I haven't done this with 2 people before. So if you'd like to join WUaS MBM tomorrow at 9am Pacific Time from The Netherlands, I'll try to send you an invitation from LightStream, (and Peter in Germany above has helped set up LightStream thus far). Larry on Eastern Time (east coast USA) will be on the phone concurrently.

Also, on Mondays at 10 am Pacific Time, I'm holding WUaS Q&A and News if you'd like to join a video  conference in the future as well (https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch).

See you soon.

Thanks, Scott

Thu, Jan 16, 6:24 PM (21 hours ago)
to askeet, beebe.lydia, Susan.Brennan, ed.batts
Hi Ann, Lydia, and Ed, (and Susan), 

Very nice to meet and talk with you this morning at SVDX. And thanks so much for your far-reaching and edifying ethics' panel! As a follow up question, I'm curious about the role of socially resopnsible index mutual funds (Vanguage FTSE, TIAA Social Choirce, Friends' Fiduciary's Quaker Index Fundetc). in shaping a culture of corporate ethics newly in recent decades, since if a company gets into these indexes (and thus all the other indexes - S&P 500, etc.), they are have made it. My question to you was how California does corporate ethics differently from the rest of the country, and especially since California Tech companies make such a large percentage of socially responsible index funds. (Being a socially responsible company, re above ethical criteria, is rewarded financially in a sense). In a way such big companies seem to define shades of grey in a new way perhaps. 

I'm writing, brainstorming-wise, to inqure about your availability to join the WUaS Board - as a startup Board team even - of startup MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch, and the WUaS Corporation. (See more about the two amazing parallel WUaS legal entities below). Might you be available to communicate further about this, and as a team? This would be a mind-experiment in a sense (with remarkable impact potential re helping people, developing ethics in corporations in all ~200 countries' offical languages, and even remuneration-wise eventually).

Looking forward to talking to you soon. 

Thank you so much for your great SVDX panel. 

Sincerely, Scott

PS: 
I'm also posting below my pre-networking email to Ed Batts, John Hennessy (chairman of Alphabet), Robert Harrington MD (chairman of Stanford Medicine), Roland and Hank (Stanford Law Professors), and Larry Viehland Ph.D. (chairman of the Board at MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch). See, too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/coconut-looking-forward-to-your-panel.html. 


* * * 

Dear Ed, John (chairman of Alphabet), Robert (chairman of Stanford Medicine), Roland and Hank (Stanford Law Professors), and Larry (chairman of the Board at MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch), 

Looking forward to your panel moderation, Ed - 
'Is the Right Thing Really Shades of Grey?  Building an Ethical Culture in Business: Why it’s Hard to Do the Right Thing on a Corporate Level' this Thursday - http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=b9cssleab&oeidk=a07egp3z2du0898928b - having been impressed with a number of your previous Stanford Law SVDX presentations and panel moderations (on 2/18/16, 3/16/17 & 3/15/18). 

Great to meet you too, John, at the opening autumn 2018 Stanford Law SVDX meeting (and at 2 of your "Leading Matters"' book conversations, as well).

With regards to both wings of WUaS: A) 501 c 3 non-profit World Univ & School and the B) for profit general stock company the WUaS Corporation - both planned in ~200 countries' official / main languages, and wiki-schools in all 7,111 known living languages - how best to grow these ethically re all the cultural and linguistic diversity, newly online, inherent in WUaS's goals, and with these 14 planned revenue streams - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - on both wings?

Re pre-networking, and questions of building ethical cultures on both of WUaS's wings - with planned online Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - and Law Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - in ~200 countries' official / main languages, and wiki-schools in all 7,111 known living languages - am curious how the development particularly of WUaS's information technology platforms can shape or inform WUaS's ethical corporate business cultures (eg re single cryptocurrency in some of all ~200 countries, and distributed via UBI experiments - brainstorming-wise to all 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar).  And in what ways could Alphabet and Google's experience be harbingers for developing ethical online business cultures - and for WUaS to learn from? And in what ways could WUaS begin to explore collaborating with Google and Alphabet IT-wise as WUaS seeks to grow our work force to 2.2 million people (about the size of Walmart with time)?

Big announcement & development re FREE & MIT & beginning NOW in Jan 2020 here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/rhubarb-free-to-students-bachelor.html (at MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World Univ & Sch) - a first free online 4 year MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree, in English literature, as WUaS begins licensing with CA's BPPE, and in collaboration with edX, where Anant Agarwal is edX's CEO and your previous Ph.D. student, Professor Hennessy. See 1st minute from WUaS's last open monthly business meeting - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/01/minutes-for-dec-21-2019-wuas-monthly.html (from 12/21/19). 

Re building ethical business culture too, WUaS is Quaker-informed (non-theistic Friends' - NtF - or atheistically Quaker informed to be more accurate) with regards to shades of grey questions (and there's a book by Quaker John Punshon called "Portrait in Grey: A Short HIstory of the Quakers" in these 'grey' regards, and with regards to a kind of philosophy or identity informing business culture too). 

Ed, am curious in particular how all of you will address the question of corporate (e.g. Stanford, Alphabet, Silicon Valley, California as examples of culture too) culture or identity in the shaping of building an ethical culture. (I'm an anthropology where actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs is my ethnographic field site re questions of culture, or alternative culture, too). 

Looking forward to SVDX on Thursday morning, and thank you!

Sincerely, Scott

Ed, John, Robert, Roland, Hank & Larry,

I just found this brief WSJ John Hennessy 'interview' great - https://twitter.com/WSJ/status/1181962525136625664?s=20 .... A question I might include: 'What's the most important ethical question a company should address as a starting point'?

Best regards, Scott

MIT OCW-centric World University and School is developing online Medical Schools with online teaching hospitals in all ~200 countries' official / main languages. Avatar bot electronic medical records are part of this (planning for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item #). See: https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/01/avatar-bot-electronic-medical-record.html.




'Avatar Bot Electronic Medical / Health Record' definition -


Where an electronic health record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient's paper chart (and EHRs are real-time, patient-centered records that make information available instantly and securely to authorized users, allowing access to evidence-based tools that providers can use to make decisions about a patient's care), Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records integrate individual actual patients' health data with digital artificial humans (e.g. Neon - https://twitter.com/labordeolivier/status/1216969846841364480 - and this image - https://local.google.com/place?id=13580134555851014887&use=posts&lpsid=3025538053156380527) with AI / machine learning and geo-location information with all varieties of diagnostic imaging, for new medical capabilities such as physical-digital CRISPR gene editing and upcoming cellular & molecular tele-robotic surgery, integrating too video records of medical procedures. Text is an annotation to the avatar bot's artificial human anatomy.

Think too avatar bots in Google's / Stanford Medicine's / Duke Medicine's Project Baseline project -for physical samples into data to chart pathways to health, that is to "collect comprehensive health data and use it as a map and compass, pointing the way to disease prevention" (https://www.projectbaseline.com) - into Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow / Translate, and for species too at the cellular and atomic levels.

And such 'AVATAR BOT ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS' will also be developable via video-to-3D applications, and for working in platforms such as Google Poly (a library of virtual reality - VR - and augmented reality - AR - objects) medically.



Cheers from the SF Bay Area,

Scott

Minutes for Saturday January 18, 2020 
World University and School / WUaS
Monthly Business Meeting


Minutes:
- https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/01/minutes-for-sat-18-january-2020-wuas.html
- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/banyan-minutes-for-wuas-monthly.html


Present:
-       Larry Viehland (World Univ and Sch Board Chair, and CFO)
-       Scott MacLeod (President, CEO, Professor, Founder, Presiding Clerk +)

(Agenda & News for 1/220/20:
- https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/01/agenda-news-for-11820-wuas-open-monthly.html

- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/syringa-lilac-agenda-news-for-11820.html )



Minute 1

World Univ & Sch will email Lee and Anant at edX on Tuesday, 21 January 2020 re
A) WUaS seeking to become a member ($500) of edX
B) edX course links - eg https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_Literature (re prospective student in India's planned major)
C) student information (and re WUaS licensing with CA's BPPE and then accrediting)

WUaS is afraid the prospective student in India who needs to start very soon is going to walk, if WUaS doesn’t get something to him soon

(and thus separate the 2 issues of 1) membership, and 2) sustainability re the Pi digital cryptocurrency, and related coding questions, which Lee and I talked about on 18 December 2020). 



Minute 2

World Univ & Sch is publishing the WUaS PayPal donation link here - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=86ACG3JUH973A&source=url - newly in the Minutes.

World Univ & Sch lost a donation just at the close of 2019, due to the World University and School web site - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - having been hacked, and with no PayPal donation button or other donation online methods available.

As per recent WUaS Agenda and News, here's the physical address for WUaS donations:

Your contributions to 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt World Univ & Sch are very welcome.
Please send checks to:
World University & School, PO Box 442, Canyon, California 94516



Minute 3

WUaS continues to seek the initial $5000 to begin licensing with the state of CA's Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education



Minute 4 

While CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World University and School degrees will be free to students due to the CC-4 licensing, WUaS will seek reimbursement per student per year from departments of education in all ~200 countries.



Minute 5

World Univ & Sch seeks to develop Avatar Bot Electronic Health Records and potentially in all ~200 countries' official and main languages, and then for speakers of all 7,111 known living languages, and then, conceptually, for all 7.5 billion people. WUaS would seek to make these available to medical systems in the US and around the world as well.

Dear Ma (Jane), Pin (Sid), Caleb, John, Byron, Cindy, Ed, Dick, Maitreyi (most MDs) and All,

Someone asked what an 'Avatar Bot Electronic Health Record' is recently, and I've defined it further here:


https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/01/avatar-bot-electronic-medical-record.html
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/greta-oto-avatar-bot-electronic-medical.html

Text is an annotation to the avatar bot's artificial human anatomy.

- https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/01/avatar-bot-electronic-medical-record.html

Ed, a friend and physician at Kaiser Permanente, told me recently that psychiatry electronic medical records there at KP are 5 lines long. So I'd think this would be a beginning place for psychiatry and psychoanalytic 'Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records' as well. But how to help KP members or patients or analysands focusing on mental health questions in new ways with this new form of medical representation or knowledge generation, I wonder?

What do you think?

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day!

Sincerely, Scott
