Thanks, Rob, and All,
Appreciating getting your email, Rob. Waiting on a National Science Foundation grant application for WUaS (so waiting too on BPPE), a significant portion of which is for accreditation with both BPPE and WASC senior, and a more significant portion of which is for hiring about 30 graduate student instructors to teach sections in group video (to the MIT and Yale faculty in their CC-4 OpenCourseWare), and tiny portion of which is for 2 out of 12 months' salary. I think this will be awarded around when BPPE begins its online process. And World University and School is seeking to matriculate 100-500 undergraduate students in autumn 2019 for free-to-students' online Bachelor degrees (and I'm still a bachelor too!:)
Am hoping that California getting MIT for free i.e. WUaS offering CC-4 MIT OCW-centric degrees to Californians + for online free-to-students' degrees will lead even eventually to a budget line for WUaS from the state of California (paralleling the 10 University of California's) ... and then from other ~200 countries' departments of Education (since CC-4 licensing allows for A) sharing B) adapting, but C) non-commercially ... so WUaS can't ask for tuition from students), - and as WUaS begins the accreditation process with the state of California's Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education.
Methinks that having kids will be easier and less risky with a 30 year old partner and wife than a 40 year old, and we'll cross the bridge of age differential when I'm 100 and she's 75 :) And re longevity (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Longevity), who knows, but it's possible we'll be living a lot longer than ever before per this article by MIT Media Lab Director Joi Ito and per Harvard's George Church and gene editing - https://web.archive.org/web/20180605002848/https://www.wired.com/story/the-responsibility-of-immortality/ - and then having had kids will have been worth it ... despite any challenges with age differential.
Academia is a curious world for the free-spirited, and re income, but glad to be giving my 5th talk in the UC Berkeley Anthropology Gifford Room tomorrow - http://tourismstudies.org/Colloquia_2018-2019.htm and http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/SMacLeod2018.htm and http://tourismstudies.org/People.htm#SM ... and re Scots' History, Dean MacCannell (author of the seminal book "The Tourist" attends these talks and is part of the Tourism Studies' Working Group too), and I think it's his grandfather after whom this room in the Anthropology building is named.
2nd book of poetry and third book due out soon after this talk - https://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity ... I think Hugh is quite prolific in these regards.
But how best to meet and connect with a partner to be? ... welcoming your ideas and intros even :) As WUaS becomes operational, hoping I can pay the bills of raising a family.
Thank you, Scott

Corinne at Stanford Law
Hi Corinne,
Nice to talk with you in the dinner line last night.
Am curious how we might talk further re creating Stanford Law career opportunities at online CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School to begin online law schools (see below) in all ~200 countries' official and main languages re - https://wiki. worlduniversityandschool.org/ wiki/World_University_Law_ School - but where MIT doesn't have a law school from which would emerge MIT Law OpenCourseWare, and where Stanford Law has around 10 international projects.
World University and School is like Wikipedia in its ~300 languages with CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in 5 languages (https://ocw.mit.edu/ & https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/ translated-courses/), and seeks to become the Harvard / MIT / Stanford / Oxbridge of the Internet in all ~200 countries' official and main languages for free-to-students' Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school degrees, and wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,097 living languages (per Ethnologue).
Would you like to meet for a coffee sometime soon at Stanford to talk further about this?
Regards, Scott
