Juliana, Sandy, Kirsten, Ralph, All, 

Thanks so much for this great conversation!

I asked the following (and also Tweeted): 

How could Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century find form via UBI experiments & with Stanford Mine Pi currency in the US? ...

Hi Jessica, (and Rebecca MacKinnon), 

Thanks for your linkedin message. 

Internet just went down in house after I replied to it, but will email you with more information soon. What further information do you need from me?

Greetings f on the SF Bay Area. 

Best wishes, Scott

Some questions, notes as URLs and Tweets from yesterday ...

Hi Jessica and Rebecca, 

Here's my message to you Jessica from linkedin, just before house internet went off for about 30 minutes:

"Thanks, Jessica, 

- will email  you about World Univ & Sch's wiki schools for open teaching and learning re for example - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Investing_-_Socially_Responsible and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Index_Investing - and planned in each of all ~200 countries (per Olympics and Freedom House's listing too) and in their official and main languages. But these wiki pages as 'front ends' aren't yet interoperable with the WUaS wiki 'backend' in Wikidata, which is in Wikipedia's 300 languages as structured knowledge database for querying with SQL in far-reaching ways (due to Wikidata's ontology). WUaS is also planning as 'front end' and 'back end' become interoperable to code for not only prospective matriculating students for transcripts etc. and for wiki editors in ~200 countries and in their languages, but also for speakers in all 7,117 known living languages, as wiki teachers and learners even regarding the free universal education idea. As WUaS codes for these wiki Universitians (speakers of 7k languages), WUaS seeks, brainstorming-wise, to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item number or Wikidata PIN # or similar, and even to facilitate UBI experiments - to alleviate poverty worldwide - and to distribute a single worldwide cryptocurrency (think the mineable 'Stanford Mine Pi' digital currency), backed by most of 200 countries' central banks. Will email you and Rebecca MacKinnon about this as well. Thanks, Jessica! 

Best regards, -Scott

Am just about to listen to listen to Stanford Ethics'"Resurrecting the Promise of Forty Acres"  in 5 minutes (with registration if you're interested) https://basicincome.stanford.edu/events/resurrecting-the-promise-of-forty-acres/ - and in which I asked: 

"How could Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century find form via UBI experiments & with Stanford Mine Pi currency in the US? ... "

What else might you like to know about the wiki and even regarding investing, Jessica, per your linkedin message? Thank you.

Best, 

Scott

Hi Ed, 

Happy birthday to you! Here are some pictures from 4 or 5 years ago in Corte Madera in Marin on a birthday walk with you and Brianna (and the Haight Ashbury Church, All Souls, where I was teaching Yoga in the mid 1990s and through which Yoga teaching I kinda met you :)

Fondly, Scott

Ed,
