It's fascinating - and regarding a question of whether China and Russia are primed for revolutions, and re value of a cold wars (relative to real wars). And what's a new kind of 'cold war' in the information age, I wonder?

Bill,
Here's Liz Economy, another China specialist, with I think a Quaker background; she went to Swarthmore College, and is also now on its Board.
- also fascinating, like Kotkin's interview.
Post coronavirus pandemic, in all ~200 countries, is CA more prepared now for:
epidemic (genetic)
nuclear accident
war
drought
global warming / ocean rising +
5 years of other emergency situations for 40 million people?
and regarding these 5 hypothetical news' items -
- with more hypothetical news' items to come ...
Who knows?

Scott

Please don't go out. If you must, then wear a mask. CDC: "covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue". Talking/breathing releases comparable rates of 10-200 micron droplets -- trapped more reliably via tube-bandana than tissue. http://instagram.com/p/B-

... like an earthquake (or fires) too - which could conceivably involve 5 years of other emergency supplies for 40 million people?
Here are some of Harvard & MIT Professor of genetics' George Church's coronavirus pandemic Tweets (many of which I've re-Tweeted over the months):

Disposable is not the only option. Especially to prevent "Silent spreading" (asymptomatic Cov positive)

https://t.co/8gF7gotjNU Thanks Ed. Rapid response capabilities needed: molecular diagnostics, vaccines, neutralizing antibodies, and homes easily converted to off-the-grid full-recycling quarantine-biospheres.

Church is also a leading researcher in aging reversal.

Is California preparing, do you think -
"Rapid response capabilities needed: molecular diagnostics, vaccines, neutralizing antibodies, and homes easily converted to off-the-grid full-recycling quarantine-biospheres. Not just for this epidemic, but the next one " ? :)

Bill,
"off-the-grid full-recycling quarantine-biospheres" ...
For the next epidemic, if not this one, as George says ...

Bill,
If you might be interested, here's an email just now from the Stanford Law China Guiding Cases' Project ... In a time of legal reform in China, is the Beijing Supreme Court (since only 2011, I think) transformed because of this Stanford Law CGCP? Is the rule of law coming to play a much more significant role in China than before, and in conversation with Stanford Law, and in Mandarin and in English?

Dear Abbas,
Could you please share this with Ms. Kar ? And Mehrangiz and Shahrzad, may I e-introduce you here? Shahrzad has recently completed her Ph.D. at UC Berkeley, where I know her from (I attended her Master's Degree graduation ceremony), and is originally from Tehran. (Shahrzad, were you able to hear and see this great Stanford talk?) Thank you so much for your excellent talk, Ms. Kar.
As a follow up, in what ways do you see the internet opening new opportunities for the women’s movement in Iran? Thank you."
Thank you, especially, for your fascinating concluding thoughts. How might some of this emerge on the internet even (which I am exploring and teaching about in a related vein - http://
Here, by the way, are the beginnings of Iran World University and School, and in the Persian language:

World Univ & Sch seeks to offer online degrees in Farsi based on https://ocw.mit.edu/ - Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school, in particular.
And here are some related wiki subjects regarding your talk, also planned in Farsi -

How might we communicate further about Iran World University and School in Farsi? This autumn WUaS is seeking to matriculate our 2nd undergraduate class in English, potentially taking edX courses, with students studying from all ~200 countries in the world. If you know of English-speaking Iranian students in Iran or elsewhere who might be interested in free-to-students' online Bachelors' degrees, please let me know.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Scott

Dear Christoph, and Sharon,
Just shared this with you, Christoph, in Academia.edu:
"Thanks for your interesting thinking about virtual violence in video games. What sparked my interest in particular was this
"What Do Players of Video Games Experience When Enacting Virtual Violence?" video -
https://lt.org/publication/
"What Do Players of Video Games Experience When Enacting Virtual Violence?" video -
https://lt.org/publication/
I haven't been able to see a bibliography of this "Gewalt im Computerspiel ..." paper yet regarding whether you cite Tom Boellstorff's "Coming of Age in Second Life" - since he may have spent as much time in SL doing participant observation, as you did with your video games' research. My book "Naked Harbin Ethnography" seeks to explore ethnographically questions of actual-virtual emotion in a related way, as does seeking to facilitate a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs for actual-virtual ethnographic comparison, and a related realistic virtual earth (as well as a new social science method I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-
In downloading, your "Gewalt_im_Computerspiel._
I've been active in the Tourism Studies' Working Group at UC Berkeley in many of these regards, and with respect to your interests in heritage and museums as well - http://tourismstudies.org/
Am also interested, in the creation of a single realistic virtual earth for everything (think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth with TensorFlow and Translate, and with Second Life re group-buildability and avatar bots, but realistic ones, - like Samsung Neons or 'artificial humans' ), and especially in facilitating the development of all museums ever as virtual museums - all over all time in all languages (https://wiki.
Sharon, - interesting Isle of Skye and Gaelic revival ethnological focus too! - http://www.carmah.berlin/
I wrote an University of Edinburgh Celtic & Scottish Studies M.Sc. paper on visiting virtual St. Kilda regarding 2 networks (UNESCO WHS and internet), and as a nascent virtual place in 2004, which paper is also in Academia.edu - https://www.academia.edu/
Again, Christoph and Sharon, how might we best communicate further about your work, your upcoming project in your video and all of this? And in what ways might we even explore collaborating in the development of a realistic virtual earth and realistic virtual Harbin, and especially regarding emotions ethnographically? I appreciate in many ways the thinking (ethnographically especially) in your video, Christoph.
Best regards, Scott
