Hi Ma, Susan, Pin, Ed, Tym, (Pat),


A further response to you, Susan and All, in the 'visiting in Canyon 94516' thread below.

Ma, All, I think Narendra Modi, the head of India, and now the startup capital of the world looks better with a shorter beard and shorter hair ... but here he's beginning to look like a hippy, as the head of India with its 1.3 billion people, and somewhat religious culture in modernity - 

... but in my experience, Indians in large numbers are ur-hippies with their colorful clothing, and often happy celebratory (even trippy in some ways)  religious celebrations, so as head of WUaS I'm still on the fence about when or if to cut my growing hair. Modi uses Indian symbols effectively in his talks too. 

Do you think Indians are hippies in some ways, from your visits there? :)

Are you doing alright with all the DC turmoil, with National Guard on the move even? I might construe this as further kicking the tires of US starship enterprise car, which will lead to better #ActualVirtual democracy & now re internet & in #Covid19 pandemics. Are you doing ok :)

My barber in Berkeley closed with Covid-19, and I think in protest outgoing pres led to my growing my hair long too ... And Covid+19 seems to be bringing him down interestingly ... thanks to the media ...




Another warning about side effects from covid-19 vaccine in a German paper -

Corona vaccination
Warning from Norway: Possible side effects of the vaccine

The Norwegian authorities are monitoring risks of the Biontech and Pfizer corona vaccine for the very old and very sick.

Did I miss an opportunity on Friday in not applying to become a Stanford CodeX Fellow, and thanks possibly to an opportunity from Stanford Law's Hank Greely and Roland Vogl? I don't think so ... Re WUaS and Stanford climate ... I think WUaS and Stanford will be able to collaborate anyway ...

Heading out for a walk on a beautiful afternoon up to the UU Church of Kensington Berkeley / 1.8 miles each way, and a nice turnaround spot, since it's been closed probably for nearly a year as a place and a building, and probably due to Covid-19 pandemic meme clean up in one way or another (since serious genes of SARS-CoV2, seem to have been released in Wuhan China, and the Veneto/Lombardy Italy area in late 2019 ... sending some ripples through news' media via the internet, and 200 nation states! The future is 'a head,' as George Alexander MD used to quip - and I continue to look ahead to the genetic engineering revolution in this regard a bit, as well as even to starting a family :)

Love, Scott

Am continuing to enjoy this concert from 1973 - you?

visiting in Canyon 94516

Dear Susan, Ma, Pin, Ed, Tym, (Pat),

Thanks again for visiting me in Canyon 94516, and thanks for your email.

Some further brainstorming, re en guard for the upcoming inauguration. And how to prevent anything untoward, since it's the prevention aspect that has much merit, since once some significant violence is perpetrated, things can spiral out of control to further atrocious violence. 

What further could be reason, Susan and All, for an identity / culture / the "Baked Alaskas" to disrupt this particular election and ritual inauguration transfer of regimes of power on Wednesday, re what the outgoing sick president stands to lose if he doesn't retain power? : My identity / culture hypothesis further (even re Castells' book "The Power of Identify" - and it's a significant theme in anthropology, sociology and the social sciences, academically ... ) And who could do this? TootsNJohns could be one group? 

TootsNJohns could make up a kind of cockamamie coup army, - who are a little bit off their ethical rocker ie mentally unwell, and re some of the men esp who may have become skilled and knowledgable in aspects of war even, which the toots could even know about intimately, and with their communicative power focus ... and TootsNJohns from all ~200 countries, and 7,117 living languages' identities (of which there are further many identities ... these aren't student protester identities of the '60s & '70s organizing for a better society or civil rights or peace re the American war in Vietnam) ... And even re my drying up tragic-source hypothesis, ie victims of the illegal sex trade, of illegal sex rings (way beyond Toots, but kids as victims, for example) ... And I too could know pieces of these incriminating SF Bay Area stories vaguely, and have evidence in a weak sense re narratives, regarding both the most conflicted or compromised to hell t w (of Canyon 94516, at 670 Ridgecrest), or similarly  a most compromised or conflicted to hell a s (of Pacifica) in the SF Quaker Meeting, and at SF State. (By TootsNJohns I mean illegal prostitutes and their illegal customers - in all ~200 countries and in all 50 US states)

Thank you for your mail. Has your mother sold her home and moved to a CCRC?

All the best.

Hi Mr.Mazumdar,

Thanks for the mail.

Yes my mother has been in CCRC since March 2020 ... And I think she's sold her house, although the covid-18 pandemic was just growing in significance in March, and I never saw the deed!


Cheers, 
Scott

Mr Mazumdar, Ma, Pin,


I would add I never saw the ..." ...deed transfer."

Writing from living in a 'safe house' (from perpetrator / offender potential violence by monotheisms' Quaker relateds and Canyon-ites????) And am pretty completely impoverished without life partner to begin a family - ZB in B? 

Sincerely, Scott

Hi Susan, Ma, Pin, Ed, Tym, (Pat),


Thanks again for visiting me in Canyon. Beautiful day from my 'safe house' and on the garden patio with winter jacket on, but almost not needing it.

Re the importance of the upcoming Biden/Harris inauguration, re regime change and current pres' incentives to stay in power (which may be ENORMOUS re his wrongdoing and lack of ethics), what precautions against air or sea attacks are there in place? An attack from Russia (re pres-elect connections there 4 years ago), China, a country in the ME, Mexico, US military even???, or domestically from 'Baked Alaska' - nuclear even - would/could probably keep him in power in one swell goop, and he would have left that morning avoiding fallout. Organized via the internet /dark web? 

How are you all, esp in the greater DC area in the unfolding covid-19 pandemic meme US 'clean up', and genetic engineering revolution? 

Good 🌄 monthly business meeting for WUaS yesterday, newly recorded http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/bryce-canyon-national-park.html?m=0 in video. 

Warm regards, Scott

Hi Scotty-

Honestly, what would be the reason for Russia or China to attack us? The 45th President has done so much to weaken our influence on the rest of the world, hollow out our own economy and erode our civil society that a physical attack would be an unnecessary waste of their resources.  Social media gave them a bellows to blow on the embers of division; a cheap and effective way of accelerating Trumps dumpster-fire of a presidency.

I doubt if Canada or Mexico would have any interest in annexing us.  

Have a cuppa, rest easy, and hope for an early spring. 
Love,
Susan

Susan, All, 


Appreciating your feedback (re feedback loops) and reasoning. Lots of 💕 lines of reasoning 'out there' (and when power plays a role - these unexpected unpredictable lines of reasoning or code may or can grow more extreme) and regime changes in a counter-balancing super nation states' loss of its federal capital would change any balancing of power among 200 countries dramatically,  that might have emerged in last 4 years. Will to power re many nation states'? So glad we have 200 nation states' meeting - it's been awhile since the Golden age of the city state in ancient Greece, Athens, as polity!? 

Did some repub coupla film directors get some good footage on Wed 1/6/21 re my  kicking the tires' hypothesis to pay an ENORMOUS legal bill post 1/20/21 for the wrongdoing pres? And if things had gone awry? Related 
my  kicking the tires' ideas &
- here - 
And a little more about kicking the tires here

I also think the outgoing pres is pretty mentally ill and a serious danger to many, and this would be his last possible attempt at power. Drama is one game here.

Writing from a 'safe house' and after what I'll call a non-creditable death threat via social media music streaming (somehow SF Quaker Meeting related?) ...and after whistle-blowing too by calling the Moraga police about mentally ill? Offender /perpetrator psychopath (T Wylie, - what happened in Kyle's death?) former landlord in Canyon.

Am enjoying my cups of tea with view of GG Bridge on remarkably clear day, and hope you are too. Some further feedback and 
 friendly tea conversation in email :) Hope you are tea enjoying, Susan, too, and that the inauguration doesn't go awry :)

Warm regards, 
Scott

Dear Susan, Ma, Pin, Ed, Tym, (Pat),

Thanks again for visiting me in Canyon 94516, and thanks for your email.

Some further brainstorming, re en guard for the upcoming inauguration. And how to prevent anything untoward, since it's the prevention aspect that has much merit, since once some significant violence is perpetrated, things can spiral out of control to further atrocious violence. 

What further could be reason, Susan and All, for an identity / culture / the "Baked Salmons" to disrupt this particular election and ritual inauguration transfer of regimes of power on Wednesday, re what the outgoing sick president stands to lose if he doesn't retain power? : My identity / culture hypothesis further (even re Castells' book "The Power of Identify" - and it's a significant theme in anthropology, sociology and the social sciences, academically ... ) And who could do this? TootsNJohns could be one group? 

TootsNJohns could make up a kind of cockamamie coup army, - who are a little bit off their ethical rocker ie mentally unwell, and re some of the men esp who may have become skilled and knowlegde-able in aspects of war even, which the toots could even know about intimately, and with their communicative power focus ... and TootsNJohns from all ~200 countries, and 7,117 living languages' identities (of which there are further many identities ... these aren't student protester identities of the '60s & '70s organizing for a better society or civil rights or peace re the american war in Vietnam) ... And even re my drying up tragic-source hypothesis (way beyond hens, as MIT Anthropology professor and Quaker Heather Paxson may have referred to women in a recent online talk, and even re protecting kids somehow????), ie victims of the illegal sex trade, of illegal sex rings (way beyond Toots, but kids as victims, for example) ... And I too could know pieces of these incriminating SF Bay Area stories vaguely, and have evidence in a weak sense re narratives, regarding both the most conflicted or compromised to hell t wylie (of Canyon 94516, at 670 Ridgecrest), or similarly  a most compromised or conflicted to hell a sowaal (of Pacifica) in the SF Quaker Meeting, and at SF State. (By TootsNJohns I mean illegal prostitutes and their illegal customers - in all ~200 countries and in all 50 US states). And what could be going on, or have gone on, even at the Claremont Hotel / Fairmont Hotel in Berzerkeley in some of these regards. 

(Persoanlly, if I could, I'd set back the illegal sex trade into the stone age if California law isn't doing the job, re under the law shit, and re lack of enforecement - but in all 50 states, and in all ~200 countries - too too many victims in atrocious ways, but the so-called 'oldest profession' is difficult to reduce significantly except perhaps during Covid-19 pandemic, but for how long??? Probably not easy at all in CaliFORNIa )...
