URLs?

Minute 1

This autumn 2017, World University and School will use Pass/Fail for grades and not other forms of grading.

Additionally World Univ and Sch seeks to further define what an independent study of a ocw.mit.edu course will entail vis-à-vis (faculty?) proctoring, tutoring, mentoring or advising – or by coding for this eventually (think edX)

Minute 2

World University and School has inquired if Stanford Medicine could

create CC OpenCourseWare (like CC MIT OCW in 7 languages) in ~200 countries official languages for online WUaS Medical Schools with online teaching hospitals,

(Scott MacLeod has been invited to give a Stanford MedicineX talk about this in April 2018).

Minute 3

Nonprofit 501 c 3 World University and School has been informed by Google that we’ll get a knowledge panel with DONATE BUTTON. World Univ & Sch also has Google Education Suite.

(In the WUaS forking process, A) World University and School (a 501 c 3) would like to inquire if potentially (and/or with MIT) Stanford could run the B) WUaS Corp (a general stock company) in ~200 countries and 7,099 living languages as academic markets, and for Stanford to send WUaS a check.

Minute 4

WUaS seeks to inquire whether we might combine a secure Wikidata enduser profile (in its 299 languages with communities) for T Tomato for grading soon as a beginning for planning for 7.5 billion people in ~200 countries’ official languages, and learners in all 7,099 living languages – potentially in collaboration with Google Plus?

Minute 5

Can we get a secure Wikidata enduser profile for T Tomato for grading soon as a beginning for planning for 7.5 billion people in ~200 countries’ official languages, and learners in all 7,099 living languages – potentially in collaboration with Google Plus?

Minute 6

Write letter (again )to MIT’s

Enrique Shadah

Cecilia d’Oliveira

Dick Schmalensee

Anant Agarwal

Inquiring about

MIT OCW into MITx in edX for courses for crediting for undergraduate and graduate students eventually in all ~200 countries’ official languages.

WUaS Corporation

Minute 7

plan for

WUaS Corporation Board meeting

Annual one

Minute 8

Nominating Governance committee shepherd

Minute 9

Cryptocurrency with blockchain with Universal Basic Income

on for-profit side?

Season’s Greetings 2017!


Dear friends,

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

I hope this finds you well and enjoying this season wherever you are.

Is an Universal Basic Income for all ~7.5 billion people possible as an expression of caring and love - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Caring_and_Loving - and with a Cryptocurrency with blockchain ledger? World University and School seeks to further facilitate this, and re "Rosa - Double Delight ... as part of WUaS coding its database for learners in all 7,099 languages, and matriculated / registered students in all ~200 countries' official languages?" http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/12/rosa-double-delight-google-donations.html, "Mentha ..." http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/12/mentha-minting-currency-california.html - plus many more blog entries. Potentially collaborating with MIT (http://dci.mit.edu/index.html#projects), Stanford and Harvard, and the University of California, for example, will facilitate this further in remarkable ways. 

*

Glad to have published my second book ~ 

Haiku~ish: and Other, Loving, Hippy, Harbin Poetry

'Society' back east, in western Pennsylvania, in Pittsburgh (compared with California)?

Civil? The weather has been keeping everyone in. It's cold here, and there's been snow.

And sociality is more organized in my mother's sphere.


But even to conceive of a concept of society is very "sociological" or "social theory" - informed by my questioning this, and from the 1960's forward, and now informed by information technology and the network society.

*
Here's a definition of 'society" I used in my course this autumn:

"Some further definitions re - Society, Information Technology, and the Global University ... http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html -

... While society can mean - "the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community" - for Castells it further refers to "social, political, economic and cultural changes caused by the spread of networked, digital information and communications technologies," with intellectual origins for Castells going back to "social theorists such as Georg Simmel who analyzed the effect of modernization and industrial capitalism on complex patterns of affiliation, organization, production and experience" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_society)."

Got up to oranges and purples of the sunrise over near pristine mountains to the east, M.

Valley of Canyon, redwood canyon that us, is still shrouded in darkness. Puzzle came out of the bag yesterday evening soon to find its way onto the table ... for puzzling about. Thank you.

Hoping to teach this sutumn in Cambridge at the MIT Media Lab (re this tenure track position I've applied for), and then potentially draw together a realistic virtual Harbin team, and students, and return to Canyon in January and do field work as a MIT / (Stanford even too) class through May, but partly based in Canyon.

Sitting now.

So nice to see you, thank you for your wonderful gifts, and your hospitality especially.

Hi M (and Sue),

Just ordered and sent a copy of my new book "Haiku~ish" to MIT Media Lab director
Joi Ito in Cambridge. He should receive it by January 10th. I just emailed him the following below to let him know it's coming.

You might both also enjoy this blog post -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/01/sheesham-tree-classic-music-definition.html
- about a definition of classical music which would include Piobaireachd, and raga, re our conversation.

Warm regards,
Scott

Hi Christina (and Tym),

It was great to meet and celebrate with you and Tym on New Year's Eve as well. Am most interested in artificial intelligence with machine learning and especially machine translation (for all 7,099 living languages), and re questions eventually of poetry translation (in some years), STEM translation as well as consciousness (i.e. as awareness re integrated information theory - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/consciousness). Google Neural Machine Translation which is related to Google Translate (with Wikipedia's Content Translation) are my starting places for these translation questions.

...

Questions of a cryptocurrency with block chain and planning for this via an Universal Basic Income for all 7.5 billion people would possibly dovetail with the 2 federal projects you mentioned and their related developing research databases. (World Univ & Sch is planning law schools in all ~200 countries' official languages, emerging from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States).

Hi Christina and Tym,

Re Artificial Intelligence further, World University and School is also, conceptually, Google TensorFlow-centric ...

... as well as Tega-centric ... https://www.fastcodesign.com/video/this-furry-interactive-robot-is-helping-kids-learn/cNkNi5O1

(http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6aben6) ... where Tega's AI is trying to gauge (probe and monitor) learner's engagement, and interact around questions of enjoyment ... which is quite creative Artificial intelligence / machine learning to write, and involves a lot of leaps of intuition, in addition to leaps in coding. It will be fascinating if avatar bots in 3D virtual worlds (e.g. like Minecraft and OpenSim) each become capable of becoming developing Tega bots for learning as teachers (and developmentally) ... and in all 7,099 living languages.

Best, Scott

MIT Digital Currency Initiative and the US Federal Reserve and the Department of Treasury?

Re a cryptocurrency with block chain and planning for this via an Universal Basic Income for all 7.5 billion people, it seems like the MIT DCI - http://dci.mit.edu/ - talking with the US Treasury re a hypothetical BitCoin/FedCoin could make sense ...

Found these:

"

No plans for 'FedCoin'

Cunha also dismissed rumors of a 'FedCoin', a theoretical digital fiat currency that sprung out of a paper written by an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis in 2015."

The goal of the Media Lab Digital Currency initiative is to bring together global experts in areas ranging from cryptography, to economics, to privacy, to distributed systems, to take on this important new area of research. The effort will reach across the MIT campus, and we look forward to including collaborations with leading experts around the world. The initiative will work with Lab researchers and faculty across the MIT campus to explore the many issues involved in blockchain and bitcoin technology.

Season’s Greetings 2017!

Dear friends,

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

I hope this finds you well and enjoying this season wherever you are.

Is an Universal Basic Income for all ~7.5 billion people possible as an expression of caring and loving - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Caring_and_Loving - and with a cryptocurrency with block chain ledger? World University and School seeks to further facilitate this, and re "Rosa - Double Delight ... as part of WUaS coding its database for learners in all 7,099 languages, and matriculated / registered students in all ~200 countries' official languages?" http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/12/rosa-double-delight-google-donations.html, "Mentha ..." http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/12/mentha-minting-currency-california.html - plus many more related blog entries. Potentially collaborating with MIT (http://dci.mit.edu/index.html#projects), Stanford and Harvard, and the University of California, for example, will facilitate this further in remarkable ways.

Hi Peter, 

Thank you again for the new WUaS Logos. I'm adding them to my holiday letter, which I'm hoping to send out soon - 

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/01/boundary-waters-canoe-area-wilderness.html (and ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/12/buttress-root-seasons-greetings-2017.html ).

I enjoy Bernhard Drax's "ethnographic" journalist voice, for example, in this "Atlas Hopping Episode 13" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcIOumOMhug ... Interesting insights into contemporary Californians here - and there's so much creative potential in 3D virtual worlds. As he says here, the internet itself is the Metaverse (re virtual worlds), and hopefully these folks will all be builders of a realistic virtual earth, an interesting intellectual project - from A-Z. 

Want to invite explore inviting your German language learning Hangout to translate some of my Haiku-ish poems into German out loud, and re developing machine translation - as a further approach to German learning ? 

Cheers, 

Scott

Universal Basic Income in India, West Bengal, Africa and the Middle East first, re planning - and with cryptocurrency with blockchain for all 7.5 billion people - at this key coding opportunity and moment re WUaS's new Wiki - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - and for people in all 7,099 living languages? Planning for and coding for 7.5 billion endusers here re Universal Basic Income.

e.g.

Mentha: Minting a currency - California state legislature? Coding the WUaS database for all 7.5 billion people, In what ways could the WUaS Press actually do the "minting" - and via Google smartphones to initially buy things in Google Starbucks around the world, for example - which would include probably secure blockchain ledger capabilities - and in all ~200 nation states?, The planning for an Universal Basic Income would be a way to make sure the poorest in all countries get access to this - and also for making this currency an international currency eventually (like the Euro for Europe) and esp. like the US dollar, "Free Money at the Edge of the Tech Boom," And see, as well ... "Magnolia champaca: Potentially create FREE MONEY with exchange value to all Karnatakans in India and GIVE IT AWAY on smartphones+, MINTING A NEW CURRENCY? https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/12/magnolia-champaca-potentially-create.html ...", "[KR1161] Keiser Report: Bitcoin Futures & Future of Cryptocurrencies," Searched on "Google and the blockchain ledger and google wallet" and found ... and "How can I use the blockchain ledger for my own business?" ... and found ...

Hi Ed,

Not sure how close the earthquake to me was. How about to you, re Bay Area earthquake lore and people's understanding of its science? Looking forward too to your presents ...

Am reminded, as I wait to hear back about the MIT Media Lab faculty position, of your intention and plans, as you were finishing up your medical education at UCSF (in the late 1990s), of developing your career at Kaiser Richmond. And you were able to realize this. Kaiser Permanente Richmond Medical Center is in a very urban part of the Bay Area (like MIT is in Cambridge), - and this plan seems to have worked out for you. And you've been very steady with this focus, your career, (your family too), and working there.

And your career choice and place of work, and realizing this, seem relevant re the Desiderata too - http://mwkworks.com/desiderata.html - and hopefully re my career potential of becoming a faculty member at the Media Lab.

Fondly,
Scott

Good day, M,

Emailing a bit from this email address for a while ...

If I can head a MIT Media Lab group called something like -

"Actual-Virtual Universe Creation group" - what a great name! :) -

and per - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/01/cape-cod-faculty-position-at-mit-media.html -

I'm curious about the role Lego will play on both A) the physical/actual side of things ... and on B) the virtual side of things in virtual worlds ... (in the creation of an Actual-Virtual Universe)

Besides the 3D virtual world of "Minecraft" which is partly designed with Lego in mind, I've recently seen that the drag-and-drop programming language for kids called "Scratch," which comes out of the MIT Media Lab, is designed for "Lego" too.

Will "Legos" (and genetic cellular "Legomics" too - as physical building blocks - have sensors on them that will correlate with these two digital environments (Minecraft and Scratch) even? ... and hopefully all within a realistic virtual universe of Google Streetview with Time Slider / Maps / Earth ...


Harvard Prof of Education Karen Brennan (with a MIT Media Lab Ph.D.) gave me and everyone in a workshop she facilitated her book about Scratch at the Exploratorium in SF a few years ago, and I've played a bit with the Scratch application before too, but not with Lego.

But the correlation between the actual and virtual here is really cool - and for programming robot Legos for example playfully.

You can see what I mean by these environments in this short video -
