Blue iguana: Mentoring questions, Dear John Hennessy, Professor, as chairman of Alphabet/Google, and former President of Stanford * * * "WUaS - Collaborating with Stanford?, 3 online teaching approaches" ~ http://youtu.be/0-JgQoUu-qo ~ FROM World University & School News and Q & A Live Hangout on Air http://www.youtube.com/WorldUnivandSch ~

Next: Puffball mushroom: Consciousness? Understanding how consciousness works (eg reconciling 1st person & 3rd person accounts) is one of the most intractable scientific & philosophical challenges there is. Reed Prof. Michael Pitts' research is great and remarkable in these regards, ""My primary research interests center around the search for the neural substrates of consciousness," How it addresses the many facets of the subjective side (1st person experiences) of questions of how consciousness works in the brain (without self-reporting) isn't completely clear to me from these two web pages - https://www.reed.edu/reed-magazine/articles/2019/pitts-nsf-neural-mechanisms.html - https://www.reed.edu/faculty-profiles/profiles/pitts-michael.html - but it may lay further groundwork for addressing both self-reporting, as well as related questions of language (and potentially in many languages) * * * "Yoga With a Herniated Disk," What I personally found great about Dona Holleman's "Yoga Syllabus for Teacher and Student" and "Asana in Photo" is that practicing asana this way freed me from Yoga teachers and Yoga culture in many ways, and yet gave me the benefits of doing asana which are movement therapies

Dear John, 

I'm writing to follow up on my mentoring email inquiry of May 18th, 2019, and am seeking in an ongoing way - as I write the state of California's BPPE licensing application forms for World University and School - to ask if you'd please consider becoming a mentor to me at World Univ & Sch, (and re a possible mentoring program even), and also, for example, with regards to delineating a faculty-administration organization flowchart (re BPPE item 5) - https://www.bppe.ca.gov/forms_pubs/approval_nonaccredited.pdf - (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IMqiHn0x6WsASDepW3GHYqfWA7gPl2y9uu1BU6Yiqa0/edit?usp=sharing). Your presidential experience and knowledge here re mentoring and university institutional grown are remarkable. 

And since the $250,000 National Science Foundation grant that WUaS applied for more than a year ago, and thought World Univ & Sch had gotten, but then was told we hadn't gotten, hasn't come through (yet?), - with monies budgeted to pay the BPPE fees, as well as to begin the accreditation process for online Bachelor, Ph.D. Law and M.D. degrees in each of all ~200 countries' official / main languages (probably beginning with WASC Senior), and to hire graduate student instructors (Stanford graduate students hopefully) to teach 'sections' to the CC-4 MIT OCW faculty in video in something like Google group video Hangouts / Google Education (which WUaS is in) - I'm writing too to inquire if you could potentially please mentor me with regards too to securing the $5,000 BPPE fee, and possibly even the whole WUaS NSF grant for $250,000 itself. Harvard Law Professor Charles Nesson's JuryX course, which I took, also offers another model of synchronous / asynchronous / conversation-in-group-video 'classrooms' https://online-learning.harvard.edu/course/juryx-deliberations-social-change (https://twitter.com/_eon_) which could be very useful for students leading busy lives and studying from their homes in all ~200 countries. Check out too, for example, the "Materials Science" wiki subject for open teaching and learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Materials_Science -(https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects), and see too the MIT OCW here that students will eventually take for credit. Major online WUaS Universities will emerge here in ~200 nation states - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States (in their official languages), and wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 8k  languages + https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages.

As a mentor and Stanford professor and former Stanford president, I'm also writing you to inquire about my becoming a professor at Stanford. As an anthropologist, sociologist and educator, I teach about the information technology revolution, as well as about actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs (and a single realistic virtual earth, ethnographically. Becoming a professor at Stanford might also facilitate my severing ties formally with the WUaS Press / Corp - as founder and president / acting president of both wings: A) 501 c 3 World University and School, and B) the for profit general stock company the WUaS Corporation / Press - and re questions of conflict of interest, for example, especially if Stanford could help grow the B) WUaS Corp in ~200 countries' official languages and ~7111 living languages (and I continued to grow online A) World University and School in ~200 countries' official languages and ~7111 living languages); WUaS Press / Corporation wrote its Articles of Incorporation using an AI chat bot I learned about in a Stanford Law CodeX presentation, and it worked very well, and WUaS successfully incorporated as a second wing of WUaS).

In inquiring with you, John - as professor, as chairman of Alphabet/Google, and former President of Stanford - if you would mentor World University and School and me (in an email of Saturday, May 18th, and after a Stanford Entrepreneurial series' talk by Chip Conley, who mentioned this and mentioned a possible 3 week wait), I'm curious - at a key moment of connecting our "front end" WUaS MediaWiki with our "back end" Wikidata/Wikibase, in Wikipedia's 300 languages, for matriculating students and volunteer Universitians, and in planning for wiki teachers and learners in all 7,111 living languages to plan for all 7.5 billion people on the planet -  to explore too your mentorship re developing a single cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks and distributed partly via UBI experiments while planning this too for all 7.5 billion people, - and newly defined as an 'assistive technology.' And would it be possible to plan for this not only with Google Plus+ for all 7.5 billion people, conceptually, but also with Intuit Quickbooks and TurboTax too, in ~200 countries' languages re taxation questions in all ~200 nation states - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States and all 7k living languages https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages

With regards to a brand new Academic Press at World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - the WUaS Press (of which I'm the publisher), planned with machine translation in all 7, 111 known living languages+ (conceptually like Google Translate) I'll be bringing now my 3 books to the Reed College Reunions' Marketplace -

https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1131612072754573312 - this Saturday, and as part of WUaS's bookstore / computer store / robotics' store / hospital technologies' store in ~200 countries and 7111 living languages, both online and on the ground. See, too, "14 planned WUaS revenue streams" - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - re both wings of WUaS. 

In currently licensing World Univ & Sch with the state of California's BPPE, WUaS is seeking to matriculate our 2nd online undergraduate class of potentially ~500 students to begin even this autumn(leading to further focus on these BPPE licensing questions, and then accreditation). 

So, in writing to ask if you'd please consider becoming a mentor to me at World Univ & Sch could I please ask you about your thinking about organizing the relationship between faculty and administrators per item 5a https://www.bppe.ca.gov/forms_pubs/approval_nonaccredited.pdf (and https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IMqiHn0x6WsASDepW3GHYqfWA7gPl2y9uu1BU6Yiqa0/edit?usp=sharing ), and further to inquire how best to explore developing a potential mentoring relationship with you? 

Much more about World University and School as a global university here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university - as well.

World University and School seeks to become the online HarvardStanfordMIT of the Internet, and in ~200 nation states and 7k languages, and Stanford's excellence and your remarkable thinking could help inform this growth story of the Internet in so many great ways. Thank you.

Very Respectfully, Scott


P.S. 
Here's what I have in mind by a 3D interactive realistic virtual universe / earth and at the atomic / cellular levels too in something like Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Translate +++ : Visit the Harbin Hot Springsgate here, and "walk""4 miles" down the road to "amble" around Middletown, CA: http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~
