Wonderful post from recent

to Ed, Barbara, Janie
Hi Ma, and Ed,
Time traveled far in the de Young museum last Tuesday, - to 1845-1900 east coast, west coast in painting ... Remington, Bierstadt, maple sugar camps in Maine, afternath of US Civil War, Italy & France too - fantastic ... then New Guinea some 1300-1600 estimated ... incredible! ... then Vietnamese in art video in CA from 2006!
Good to have checked in, Ma ... Also just raised ethical questions today about Scottish Country Dance teacher D.N. and H.J.M., his wife, who's a lawyer ... maybe with regards to spurious and unethical letter from UCB law instructor / cad too ? ... good to have checked in ... see :
Sent this to E. S. & B. S. today - Hello, Ed! How are you, and how is your week going? It was nice to see you recently. Was curious at Open Band while sitting on the piano bench next to Patti on R, and Barbara J on left, about what D.N. on right of P.C., said, looking at me (and possibly B.J. too), - something like "Do you hate us? Or you hate us, don't you? I was talking to Barbara?" ... when I replied I'm a learner at the piano - and about what he was referring to or meant? (Could he have been referring too to B. S., who hasn't been coming to Open Band for many months now?) Hoping D.N. hasn't, with H his wife, been doing anything spurious or illegal or unethical (and toward me, unbeknownst) ! I'm texting you, Ed, because we curiously met D and H in the park when we saw Bansai trees a few years ago. (And also re somehow re the email I sent you and about 7 Quaker friends recently). Friendly regards, Scott
Ma, 'Checking in' allowed me to say the spurious (false) letter didn't stand - and also that the Cal / cad law instructor VERY unethically betrayed me, - probably using letter as pretext (and personal crisis for my 'checking in' was probably recorded) ... did he send a framing letter? ... but WUaS Press/Corp later was able to incorporate (creating an amazing two wing organization planned in 200 countries, 7k languages at WUaS ). Love, Scott
And H and D could conceivably have helped write very unethical letter from Berkeley law instructor ...
Glad too to have suggested recently that the PM for pipe band in South San Francisco see a psychiatrist re another unethical email to me. Hope he's getting professional psychiatric help for his projections / transferences ... too bad he's so unwell ... and was this partially caused by unethical actions of B.M. toward him as kid (speculative)? A lot of mental health issues here in Bay Area, Ma! ... and per your asking about my giving piping lessons to R.P., who I think graduated from UC Berkeley in engineering recently :)
(7 Dec 2019)...
And Ma, and Ed,
A little unsettling, having headed to the Tourism Studies' Working Group in the UC Berkeley Anthropology department yesterday evening (6 Dec 2019), - and in seeing N.G. Something about his ethics or morality concern me a lot - is he speculatively kind of heading a sex ring in the tourism studies' field in many countries, and idea-wise? ... and very unethically - and re Jim Spohrer's Tweet after not Tweeting (https://twitter.com/JimSpohrer) for a few days - https://twitter.com/ibrahimatlinux/status/1203037719137419264?s=20 (re the name "Haddad" here) - could N have had Dad whacked or injured even in Belize (and somehow in conjunction with Harbin / I..... too ... )? ( ... all quite speculatively).
I pulled a few poetry books off the public library shelf the other day, and one of them was Jimmy Carter's 1995 "Always a Reckoning," and am continuing to think about how an "ecology of life" including internet, symbols, religious traditions, ethics, and evolutionary biology, - and not really the karma idea, but with some kind of parallels "(in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences" (Apple dictionary) plays out with the "Always a Reckoning" idea (after Carter was US President in the late 1970s/ early 80s, with its own probably very confusing 'politics' of 'power' / web of interrelationships between actors, including navigating the harm people do to one another). Appreciating Carter's ethics, his 95 years of age ... and having read the first 2 poems in his book, his focus on life in Georgia (he was born in 1924) and with its focus too in 1st poem) race, and in 2nd poem) trading / barter ... all on a very human, rural, scale in Georgia many decades ago ...
The unsettling thing for me about my whistle-blowing at the SF Quaker Meeting a few years ago about sexual misconduct with children is/was the possible threat of force behind this at the time ... and how this plays out too in an ecology of life over time between peoples of different religious traditions' backgrounds. I see much, much need for excellent MD psychiatry (e.g.
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry) these days, and available easily online - and both excellent and very smart - and with psychiatrists from diverse backgrounds and religious & identity traditions especially - but especially science / medicine knowledgeable, and potentially licensed by each of ~200 countries' nation states/countries! Perhaps AI psychiatrists will emerge with time, and re Jim Spohrer's re-Tweet again, about aggregating open AI projects -

... and yet partly dramatically changing the nature of privacy and confidentiality in psychiatry (and in multiple languages). For example, an AI psychiatrist wouldn't be a person, and so couldn't breach an analysand's or client's or patient's or 'call the sufferer of mental health disorders what you will' confidentiality or privacy (MD psychiatrist George Alexander's saying he's heard psychiatrists talk about their patients at cocktail parties), and, yet to protect others and so the state too could license and regulate effectively, recordings of sessions could be made as well. Am not clear what countries do psychiatry, and now online, best in these regards, and now internationally as well.
What are you up to this weekend?
Hoping you had a good week as well, Ma, Ed and Barbara!
Seeking for World University and School to facilitate (good Quaker-wise too) great ethics, and in 200 countries' main languages, and online newly especially.
Fondly, Scott

M,
Just watched again, Zoe and Eric's Scratch Hour of Code Webinar from Monday 2 Dec 2019 -
https://youtu.be/tCMZckWp82w - and did the first 2 Tutorials that they show (in the first few minutes - mainly "Imagine a World" #2).
As I think about this further, and re Lego Robotics' WeDo 2.0 Tutorials which Lego kit I have and have done its Tutorials too, with enjoyment, am appreciative of Eric and Zoe's presence in video - and before that having seen the live presentation with interactive text chat in the side bar (which we can view again above) - even in video live streaming just a little over their Scratch Tutorials. Whereas I enjoyed the Lego WeDo2 Tutorials on their own, because they provided me an entree into making robots with Lego ... and hands' on as well.
Interestingly, as I started exploring the Scratch Tutorials beyond their video introduction eg through here - https://scratch.mit.edu/users/ScottWorldUnivAndSch/ - since I/WUaS have a MIT account for this, I had a slight experience of practicing the piano again when I was growing up - and a kind of related isolation, whereas I didn't have that experience with the Lego Robotics' WeDo2 Tutorials, and Zoe and Erics' warm and sincere and smart (and ethical) presence in the video (in whatever form) ameliorated this sense of 'alienation' ("the state or experience of being isolated from a group or an activity to which one should belong or in which one should be involved") of doing the Scratch Tutorials alone ... so, it seems to me, there's room for development for the Scratch Tutorials further vis-a-vis the Lego WeDo2 Tutorials, and as good as the Scratch Tutorials are, and as significant an improvement over their not having been made (or what came before), as they are. :)
Just some writing analysis and thinking and observations re consciousness questions even. :)
How's your day going? And how was your weekend? Talk with you soon, perchance!
L, Scott

Hi Ma, Ed, and Barbara,
Just blogged today about this ethics' email (and much more) to you here - http://scott-macleod.

As green sticks hissed and spat into the ashes
And whatever rampaged out there couldn’t reach us,
Firelit, shuttered, slated and stone-walled.

California culture re ethics raises interesting questions in these regards as well (and comparatively with Britain, east coast US and many other places ..)
Scott
PS
Will blog too today re MIT Scratch Team's Zoe Bentley who is wonderfully engaging, and re questions of alienation even! :)
