Amazingly precise evolutionary biological adaptation of hummingbird hawkmoth pollinating / feeding on flowers, as mutualism adaptation ...
"Hummingbird hawkmoth drinking from Dianthus, with pollination being a classic example of mutualism" -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutualism_(biology)
"... it feeds on flowers which have tube-shaped corollae.[7] It should not be confused with the moths called hummingbird moths in North America, genus Hemaris, members of the same family and with similar appearance and behavior. The resemblance to hummingbirds is an example of convergent evolution."

This Gary Snyder quote came up in these regards:
The wild - often dismissed as savage and chaotic by "civilized" thinkers, is actually impartially, relentlessly, and beautifully formal and free.

Hi ma mère, Sandy, Ed and Barbara,
Music just appeared yesterday for Monday's Scottish Country Dancing Open Band - so may print it, play though it and head there tomorrow, with broken speakers on keyboard now fixed.
Am envisioning further with regards to bagpiping and music-making, and ...

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

I'm appreciative and also how he doesn't take them or himself that seriously in his video (echoes of Lacanian psychiatrist and family friend George Alexander MD here for me interestingly, and Eric lived in Pittsburgh PA from about 1987-1996 as he got his Ph.D. in psychology from Duquesne University).

Warmly, Scott

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

to Larry
Dear Larry,
Some further WUaS ideas, as I get out the Minutes ...
3,000 educational services' on-the-ground or brick and mortar stores in 10 years - correlating with online stores emerging from Tensor Flow machine learning software, and into an end-of-the-day stock price for the WUaS Corporation in most of all ~200 countries, as well as WUaS employees being able to do their taxes with TurboTax in many of same countries' languages .. and with brainstorming-wise the "Mine Pi" cryptocurrency ... ?
Hoping to outline an undergraduate CS degree based on MIT OCW ... thinking in terms of Chunyu Ou ... (who visited Canyon last night) ... and originally is from China (2012) ...
What the person (Sean Zirkel?) who read me the letter, at Stanford Medicine CDH after the FDS'a Dr. Amy Abernethy's talk, said was that they'd/Stanford would let me know when I could come back ... (sounds like it could be John Hennessy's language) ... am curious about the legality of Stanford in a number of regards here.
And I think whistle-blowing re conscientious objection (Quaker informed too) is a kind of speaking truth to power (in 4-6 ways in recent years), - and here potentially allows a Stanford, for ex., to improve ... re the communication transparency ...
Late July?, Koh Fujinaga who also visited here in Canyon 94516 last night at a party I had quite explicitly left a chips' bag on the table last night when they left at 1:30 am with brand name 'Late July' on it ... Could this have anything to do symbolically with funding for World Univ & Sch eventually, or becoming financially operational, or UCSF engagement with WUaS perhaps? ... Koh's also an adjunct Professor at UCSF ... (re how things scheduling-wise might work out best for health insurance, and for related ancillary planning processes e.g. pensions, hiring, information technology-wise et al) ...
Could WUaS become part of Alphabet institutionally ? - came to mind again yesterday evening ... but if we could become financially operational independently that might be better ... let's talk about this again at some point.
Sincerely, Scott
