The gist of the above idea is here:

In seeking to understand intractable question of #consciousness re reconciling 1st person-3rd person accounts & subjective-objective in one #RealisticVirtualEarth, inquiries re co-constitutionality of A: #ActualVirtual B: #PhysicalDigital will lead to A: ACTUAL experience Qs & B: BRAIN physical experiences with #ML machine learning ~

See, too, especially - https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1190709743834165248 (re https://twitter.com/MikeQuindazzi/status/1189951040176697344) ... as well as David Chalmer's 2017 Stanford philosophy talk on the Actual and Virtual ...

Glad to have participated in a Reed College RCA (Reed Career Alliance) conference call today ... about which I shared the following re WUaS. Am hoping this will be a turn of the tides financially and accreditation-wise for WUaS too ...

1) to hire Reedie interns every 4 months (Jan-April, May-August, September-December), beginning in early January and
2) to begin the CA BPPE licensing in January so WUaS can focus the Reedie interns' work, and
3) to start developing the online Ph.D. degrees for Reedies to matriculate in based on the ~32 departments of CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare - http://ocw.mit.edu/
4) to develop World University and School's website professionally - worlduniversityandschool.org - potentially with Reedie interns, and especially multi-lingually (where Wikipedia is in ~300 languages)
e) How has the RCA approached legal & ethics' questions thus far?

Thanks so much, Reedies!

I made a back up of the active happening real time notes - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nGIRAmxeZqvBhUNdcVAVWGQt2ujPR8mZarZp7cjS_i8/edit?usp=sharing (since GDocs was saying they might not be saved) - and I'm a big appreciator of both Amy's note-taking, as well as 2 channels for communication: group voice, and group text.

(One further brainstorming question I had is: could RCA become even a kind of Human Resources' center? See, conceptually, item 9 in these 2016 14 planned revenue streams on both wings of WUaS - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - planning to become an all-language academic online manpower-brain power-language-power human resources and jobs' source for our graduates and others).

Thanks for your skillful moderation, Michael, and everybody's good ideas. Thanks too for the skillful organization of all of this, All!

Cheers, Scott
