Tym! 

A wonderful restorative Yoga class in the new Yoga Hall at 670 Ridgecrest Road (shop:) and then head up to the warm pools (that interestingly have many parallels with Harbin pool area!) in East Bay MUD afterward for a soak, part of the Warm Water Cure in the Academic Medical Center on the ridge (Stanford-KP-World University & School collaboration)? 

Scott :)

More from today here - :)

& a virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic field site on East Bay MUD forested lands near 670A Ridgecrest Canyon for warm water cure too with Kaiser Permanente health organization & and Stanford Medicine idea here -

Hi Scott,

How are you doing and how’s life?  Just back from a long trip to the Gulf and London. Peace in Yemen remains elusive but we keep at it.  

Does one actually need an invitation to visit Harbin, or do you just prefer to go there with one?

Hi Tym! 

Welcome back. Good thinking. There's a lot of history here, but after getting permission from Julie Adams ('MD', & kind of #2 in pecking order for 'decisions' after Ish, and who has been pecked a lot!) TO WRITE AND PUBLISH my 1st big Harbin book, and after a great interview with the founder, Ishvara, ~ and after Sunheart's passing too (in autumn 2020) ~ some folks at Harbin (maybe the first two) didn't want my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book published, after all, ... so was glad that Deidre Davis, MD ("managing director' possibly sardonically construed) invited me up twice not too long ago. Getting an invite would be wise for me to do. 

Fond regards, 

Scott


PS

Wondering if Work World University and School could develop a virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic field site on East Bay MUD forested lands near 670A Ridgecrest Canyon for warm water cure too with Kaiser Permanente health organization & and Stanford Medicine idea here -

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/01/punch-bowl-falls-oregon.html

 (and an Academic Medical center on the whole ridge where 670 is - to begin to visit Harbin virtually).

The words 'Academic Medical Center' can be 'magical' in some circles (like KP and Stanford Medicine and state of California) - like saying 'Open Sesame' in some contexts :) 


Hi Ma, 


Thanks so much for your email! I checked last year and my AAA membership is on auto-renew (so to speak:), still with address in Pgh (which is a good idea for a number of reasons, I think) - and insurance-wise in a sense too. So, yes, I'd be grateful if you could forward the card to me. Thank you!

Love, Scott

PS
  Brainstorming-wise, exploring beginning an Academic Medical Center with warm water cure as realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs as ethnographic field site in the East Bay Hills, and glad to just get and email from Tym this morning here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/02/poets-shooting-star-dodecatheonpoeticum.html - and see too - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/01/punch-bowl-falls-oregon.html. Seeking to 'clean up' both Harbin and Canyon, with big Harbin book, and this Academic Medical Center idea in Canyon :)

PPS
The words 'Academic Medical Center' can be 'magical' in some circles (like KP and Stanford Medicine and state of California) - like saying 'Open Sesame' in some contexts :) ... but if it happens, it could take quite a while ... and still living in a safe house, and unsure about seeking asylum elsewhere than California, for example, later in the spring after the lease is up.

WUaS Press Books, {and Recordings}

The Academic Press at WUaS is seeking to reinvent publishing from Google Street View with Time Slider, text in the sidebar, for publishing to 1) paper and to 2)  a new #wuAsVR computer platform format  (including with digital glasses, holograms, augmented reality, and multimedia rooms, with 'MIT Media Lab' light bulbs, or 'information technologized' Planetarium projection lamps, brainstorming-wise, in the corners of a room) - for both academic books, and scientific papers - in all 7,139 known living languages with machine translation, and at the cellular, molecular and atomic levels too. In what ways can a single realistic virtual earth for everything, and publishing, become a metaphorical operating system (OS) for the earth and the universe in terms of STEM and regarding information technologies (and see too this AMAZING image for  Stanford Mine Pi - https://twitter.com/PiCoreTeam/status/1471572413078929411?s=20 - - and for a single cryptocurrency for buying & selling virtual objects as well)?

Bio:


Scott G.K. MacLeod is an American academic and Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology and Sociology at World University and School. He is currently also the publisher at the Academic Press at World University and School. MacLeod was born in 1960 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at a time when his parents were living in Lexington, MA. His parents met and married in the Unitarian church of Cincinnati, Ohio. (His father was a MD, who also taught medical grand rounds as a quick knowledgeable diagnostician, and a professor of public health, and his mother became the director of social work in a large urban hospital, returning to university after her 2 children had grown up a bit). Scott grew up on the eastern seaboard of the U.S., attending Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh, PA, from which he received a diploma, and Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where he received a Bachelor's degree (1985) in Religion (and German). He then received a Master's Degree (2003) in sociocultural Anthropology (with a focus on information technologies) from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and he also recieved a Diploma of Research (2004) in Ethnology (with an examination of virtual 'place') from the University of Edinburgh.

Overseas' studies: MacLeod first studied in another country in 1972-1973 in Geneva, Switzerland, in middle school, at Ecolint (an I.B. school), for 6 months, when his family lived there (his father was studying the health systems of 3 other European countries on a Ford Foundation grant), and then in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1977-1978 at Fettes College in the 1st year 6th Form of A levels, between his junior and senor years of Shady Side Academy, then in Munich, Germany, in 1981-1982 for 13 months, at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, through a Reed College program (living in the home of a Quaker family in Garching for his last 2.5 months there), and then in Scotland, for another full year at the University of Edinburgh, in the School of Scottish and Celtic Studies in 2003-2004, for another full year there.

His research focuses on the information technology network society age, the world wide web cosmos, and actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs, and see, for example, these "Doubleday's Hummingbird: 5 UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' talks in recent years 2012-2020 ... " -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html.


A passionate educator, he is World University and School's founder, president, CEO, and presiding clerk (in the manner of unprogrammed Friends/Quakers) ~ a non-theistically f/Friendly or nontheistic Quaker 'leading' too; Scott became a member of the RSOF in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2004, having been active with Friends or Quakers since around 1975. Wiki World University and School is best STEM CC-4 OCW-centric (in 4 languages) and CC-3 Yale OYC-centric and seeks to develop major online universities in all ~200 countries' main and official languages, as well as wiki schools in all 7,139 known living languages. Both wings of WUaS together, 1) the Nonprofit, 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt charity,  World University and School, and 2) the For-profit, general stock company in California, WUaS Corporation, seek to hire about 2.3 million people (about the size of W-M) in all ~200 countries. WUaS seeks to create large numbers of careers and jobs, both on the academic, learning-oriented, university and school wing, and on the educational services' stores' and hospital technologies' wing+ :  https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/15-planned-wuas-revenue-streams-both.html. WUaS plans to offer online degrees with CC-4 OCW Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D. as well as I.B. or similar diplomas, (emerging from Creative Commons' 4 licensed - https://ocw.mit.edu/high-school > into something like CC-4 licensed 'Computer Science CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home (as a kind of template) - and in which you can begin to learn the Scratch programming language now - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/course/z33wpz) - partly in group video, and in ~200 countries' official languages.

Further research and teaching notes:

My anthropological research focuses on ethnography, the virtual, and information technologies, that is on 'socioculture' vis-à-vis the web, with a particular focus on counterculture (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com - I blog daily), as well as on UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The detailed, explanatory potential of anthropology and sociology in relation to the study of the social life of information technology, and to ethnography vis-à-vis the internet, as well as to internet studies, provides a fascinating intersection of approaches / disciplines / methodologies, and is my starting place. I'm interested, in addition, in questions of anthropology vis-à-vis science and STEM. And I'm interested in anthropological, linguistic and philosophical questions about this discourse, about identity (and see, for example, Manuel Castells'"The Power of Identity," Vol. 2, in his "The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture" trilogy, and "The Rise of the Network Society" Vol. 1), modernities, representation and language - and 'internetity,' a term I've coined (I think).


I'm also interested in western philosphical questions about consciousness, that is philosophy of mind inquiries, (e.g. how to reconcile the first person and thrid person views of consciousness, awareness, feeling, or sentience, etc.) - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/consciousness. In what ways can a physical-digital, actual-virtual realistic virtual earth for consciousness, and a realistic virtual earth for languages, and realistic virtual earth for brain science, and actual brains of many species, help us further develop this conversation and philosophical inquiry about consciousness in species with it? And in these regards:

with - #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords and see this great image - https://posts.gle/YZY27U accessible from this definition - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/greta-oto-avatar-bot-electronic-medical.html and with a Samsung Neon aka 'artificial human' - (and for human brains at the street view, cellular and molecular levels too, for example) - AND for coding for this with AI and machine learning too: - so,Twitter post,

"In what way could #Google thanks to #PeterNorvig's #vision #ethics & #realism - https://youtu.be/QCw_D7dr7Rw HIRE #UCBerkeley #MIT #Stanford & #WorldUnivAndSch STUDENTS anew to grow #GoogleAIsystems
per 7k https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForLanguages with #WUaSavatars?"

And I'm also interested in questions of MD psychiatry, online talk therapy (Lacanian-informed? - https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/lacan/), and potentially with avatar chat bots (and avatar bot electronic medical records for all 7.9 billion people, each a Wikidata Pin #), and in what ways World Univ & Sch could facilitate online psychiatry - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry - in WUaS's (~200) online medical schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with online teaching hospitals, and in all ~200 countries, per the Olympics, and in their main languages.

And World University and School is seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people (at You at World University ~ https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University) for developing research in these areas:

i) wiki Universitians in 7,139 known living languages, and matriculated students in all ~200 countries,

ii) Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, with genetic therapies, and for molecular tele-robotic surgery, for ex.,

iii) Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (and to end poverty), and to DISTRIBUTE a single crypto-currency backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks (where the Euro is in 19 out of 28 EU countries, and backed by their central banks in one way or another) ... and potentially with UBI experiment recipients able, for example, to mine "Stanford Mine Pi" cryptocurrency (as a single mineable crypto-currency, on the mainnet blockchain), and developed by Stanford graduates, - by clicking on the 'lightning button' brainstorming-wise.

iv) a single family tree for genealogy research as in WikiTree (https://www.wikitree.com), and for aggregating DNA samples too (see item 2 again) ... and for innovative genealogical research, in a realistic virtual earth for genealogy and with realistic avatar bots of people and our ancestors, with whom we can talk conversationally. (For example, I'd like to explore being able to talk with my mother's father, Sandy Brown (ACB - Alexander Chadbourne Brown), and co-create too - when I'm 150 years' old, 200 years' old, etc., so iteratively, again as avatar bot from Wikitree - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brown-92991 - with or from his genes, pictures +, for example - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/MacLeod-2524 & in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory too), and see:

How we could ANIMATE ALL STILL PHOTOS into a single #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenealogy (& HISTORY!) -& even to interact with such #WUaSanimations in conversation at first? Here's one ex. of #HashTag with a #Scots' focus: https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/1290051214185381889?s=19 but click # to go further idea-wise

https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1373693626732011521



v) Computer glasses, personal robots, and similar information technologies (thinking Kazuo Ishiguro's "Klara and the Sun") for all 7.9 billion people on the planet - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/outback-3-computers-per-person-all-75.html ?

And see: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html ~

World University and School is seeking to develop a Physical-Digital Academic Medical Center, on-the-ground early on, in the East Bay Hills (Berkeley) with warm water cure, and in collaboration with Stanford Medicine, Kaiser Permanente health organization, East Bay MUD, Contra Costa county, and the state of California; idea here: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/01/punch-bowl-falls-oregon.html and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/02/poets-shooting-star-dodecatheonpoeticum.html.
