Ma,
Light came on outside about 5:15 this morning on the house next door across from garden patio as I got up to go to bathroom - and since it's motion-triggered, I wondered what it was. Then I saw in the light a big old raccoons with its kind of hunched shoulders loping across the patio - big enough to trigger the motion sensor.
As I looked at my smartphone, I noticed an email from my friend, Marc Dupuis, in French-speaking Switzerland, - so nice to hear from him, and in reply to the email I sent you and he and Dorota and Ed the day before!
Here are our emails which you might enjoy:
Hello Scott,
So nice to hear from you.
I still have vivid memories of that day you enacted MacBeth...all the world is a stage and men and women merely the players...
What happened to your house in the woods? Did the fire finally chase you out?
Here Tanja and I have also moved from the hills to a nice place in the vineyards of Lutry.
Here we are living through this stage time of covid, where human relationships seem to stiffen and loose physical warmth. A vaccine may be in sight, as the for the anti-aging pill I wouldn’t bet my life on it.
This morning we are going to the market to get some fresh groceries... food and oxygen are the only true medication that seem to have some hold against the siege of time.
Warm regards
Marc
Hi Marc,
So nice to get your email as well.
Lutry and its Lavaux UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE sound lovely - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/
Lutry is old and re Christianity esp -
"Lutry is first mentioned in 908 as in Lustraco villam. In 1124 it was mentioned as monasterium Sancti Martini cum villa quae dicitur Lustriacus and in 1147 it was Lustriey.[3]"

And the poetry (Wow!)
Appreciating your wisdom, and profound skepticism about genetically engineered aging reversal, and as an immunologist, geneticist, and cell biologist (would you say? Or molecular biologist?) who has made your career in the pharmaceutical industry (https://www.researchgate.net/
THESE 3 Harvard / MIT Prof George Church videos as a start at least get me thinking about the potential for reversing aging -

- and if such a drug were FDA approved in 25 years, I might consider taking it. Covid-19 may be the catalyst which focuses geneticists in every University - a mass mobilization - in most of 200 countries in the world to advance our knowledge rapidly in these regards.

Is Covid-19 also an (1960's) agent of social change and potentially making the world a better place (Voltaire's Pangloss-wise possibly too)? (... my interpretation from yesterday:) Is it doing so in ways that no individuals or activists (eg Dr. MLK jr) in the 60s or 70s, envisioning a better world via social change, could?
Am missing too the warmth of human relations, and finding myself a bit too isolated these coronavirus pandemic days (but also wonder whether this could be due to my response to the metaphorical CA 'fires' and bad behaviors and mental illness in CA) ... but I'm also seeking a partner to begin a family and ... connecting with someone else would change my experiences of CA in covid-19 TIMES, and before, I think.
Could Covid-19 be 'cleaning up' illegal 'Mafia' type behavior in many countries around the world - and in Canyon 94516 too? Was my calling the Moraga police to report 3 illegal break-ins, entries, as well as thefts over the years, an entree for federal authorities to get involved? (I'm a whistle blower with a conscience in recent years, Marc). Canyon and CA may have old 'fire cultures,' but the Mafia no longer seem to be a concern in the US, IN Italy, or on the international stage :)
Got the Green light yesterday by getting a physical mailing address in Sacramento on the phone for sending in the first 3 WUaS Corp tax returns :)
How to create warm human relations and community in this world filled with plague fears, these days? My hypothesis (pour moi in CA) - pairbond, socialize (troop Bond?), and begin to create a great family, abide in a great place (like Lutry), use language, and navigate 'foredoomance' :)) ... Ideas related to John Money's Concepts of Determinism http://
Warm regards,
Scott

African flower mantis: Romania WUaS A) @WorldUnivAndSch B) @WUaSPress, Online culture at WUaS? - ie. to become world class - I think one of former chair of Stanford CS Nils Nilsson's points is that Stanford CS ADAPTED to what students wanted/what kept their interest, whereas MIT, for example, might not have (see his transcribed text in my blog post), It's a kind of excellence, smart empathy and connecting academically
