Taylor,
I found this insight fascinating from
Yo Yo Ma:
'The whole idea is service: You use your technique to transcend it, in order to serve ...'
At about the 1:05 of this 1:34 MIT video:
Virtual Solve at MIT 2020: Event Recap - "We're All One Crew."
(I attended this online conference and regarding to GM CEO Mary Barra's talk with MIT President Rafael Reif:

Hi Taylor,
Good music-making (bagpiping) this evening in Skype. (I didn't know you had philosophical inclinations, which I noticed in Academia.edu, even in the 'Religion' vein, which I studied and majored in at Reed College). Am finding Cellist Yo Yo Ma a remarkably virtuosic music teacher as well.
Yo Yo Ma:
Something like: "The whole idea is service: You use your technique to transcend it, in order to serve ..."
At about the 1:05 of this 1:34 minute MIT video:
Thank you.
Piping cheers,
Scott

Taylor, thanks! My Reed thesis was on feminist theology and focused on Rosemary Ruether's book "Sexism and God-talk: Toward a Feminist Theology," but one of my junior qualifying exams was on the problem of evil (re theodicy and John Hick's work - https://www.iep.utm.edu/hick/)
Happy piping,
Scott

Hi Mary, and Mark,
Good to connect on LinkedIn, Mary. I'm writing to introduce you to one another, Mark, Mary - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ mary-murrin-84a353/ - has been working at Chevron for about 6 years in the Houston area, and was a neighbor of mine in Pittsburgh, and my high school years there from 1974 -1979. Mark is now living in Portland, Maine, having just relocated from Newfoundland, Canada, after decades there; Mark is doing remarkable genealogical work these days family-wise.
This is Mark's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ mark-macleod-7a048916/ and Anne's is https://www.linkedin.com/in/ anne-shoemaker/ . I've been in touch with Mark recently.
How are your sister Cathy doing, and your mother, Mary?
Regards,
Scott

Glad to see you two connecting.
Seeking too to facilitate a # RealisticVirtualEarthForGeolog y - https://twitter.com/hashtag/ RealisticVirtualEarthForGeolog y?src=hashtag_click - in a single realistic virtual earth (for everything) - and conceptually like Google Street View / Maps / Earth with TensorFlow AI and group buildable too like SL, but realistic, and at the cellular and atomic levels too. This would be for actual-virtual, physical-digital developments in science, as well as robotics especially. (Here's a Livermore CA oil fields' example - https://scott-macleod. blogspot.com/2018/10/double- flowered-world-univ-schs-live. html - coming into conversation with a Stanford Geology talk, where Mark got his Master's degree leading to his career, I think). This would be at MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, and as STEM field sites, and as classrooms too - but also entrepreneurially/commercially (like for oil extraction with atmospheric and ocean science planning).
All the best,
Scott

Mark, this just popped up in Twitter:

I think the Tweeter is the chief CTO of Vanguard Mutual Funds (of all things) and Tweeting much about AI and machine learning.
And will these be the next programming languages for one realistic virtual earth (re geology and atmosphere simulations too)? There's both a windy road picture in the article (that's like the one on my Google Smart TV - so presumably in Google Street View too) ... And there's also a data table in the article for an iris flower - also germane to a realistic virtual earth for evolutionary biology - https://twitter.com/hashtag/ RealisticVirtualEarthForEvolut ion?src=hashtag_click - and keying flower species (angiosperms). Is the windy road in a Celtic language country?
And could the windy road image have anything to do with John Hennessy, chair of Alphabet, and former president of Stanford for 16 years?
All of this is very germane too for creating a realistic virtual Harbin Hot springs for actual-virtual, physical-digital ethnographic comparison (into one realistic virtual earth / universe! :) ... See blog post again - https://scott-macleod. blogspot.com/2018/10/double- flowered-world-univ-schs-live. html - in these regards too.
Mark, do you know Robert Zembowicz, or John Hennessy?
The idea with all of us creating a realistic virtual earth together - ethno-wiki-virtual-world- graphy (I'm calling this) - would be even as a new kind of publishing (post -
https://twitter.com/yalepress/ status/1266792774281703425?s= 20 ).

Greetings to Cathe, Mary - and to your mom. My mother's enjoying her new cottage out in Verona / Oakmont - and I think they're in communication, although I didn't see your mom over Xmas, like I saw many of their friends. Do you miss your home on Linden, then your parents' home on Juniata Ct, all of a block and a half away:)? I sometimes wonder if we live longer than the upper age limit of 122 due to aging reversal genetics - https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk (and if we're in good health) - whether my mother could consider re-purchasing her home on Juniata Ct as a kind of creative project even, in addition to a home (since I could conceivably send my kids to Shady Side Academy as a high school perhaps, for ex., too) :)
Mary, what does Corporate Affairs entail? (World Univ & Sc is seeking to create major universities in all ~200 countries with online law schools even!)
Stay well!,
Scott
Here's Harvard / MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church ( again):
"How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering?"

Mary, Mark,
Bogged a bit about all this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/05/native-iris-patersonia-species-yo-yo-ma.html (didn't your Dad, Regis, have an interest in Bog men? and partly re archaeology - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForArchaeology?src=hashtag_click ? :)
Regards, Scott

Taylor,
Have blogged about this some today -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/05/native-iris-patersonia-species-yo-yo-ma.html?m=0
- and much more, including UUs, family, and, - so cool - probable next programming languages for a single realistic virtual earth for everything.
Happy piping,
Scott
