Good morning, Ma! Wondering how specific molecules of genes will be added to our bodies and what their myriad effects will be ! 🙂

Didn't make it to the real real time music-making Music School WUaS agenda item #10 yesterday - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/02/otter-sea-enhydra-lutris.html - (ran out of time) but how to develop this for Scottish Small Piping chamber music even - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/chamber%20music ? 🙂



Ma, per Ed's & my conversation yesterday as we ate chips and garbanzo beans as balela - I recall (from Reed) that soaking beans overnight can lessen gas but didn't know that rinsing every three hours is helpful! ("Simply place dried beans in a container, cover them with water and let them soak. They'll need to soak eight to 12 hours, but the key to eliminating the gas is draining and rinsing every three hours. ... Drain, rinse and start soaking again every three hours" - https://www.tasteofhome. com/article/degassing-beans/) ... good info for a hippy commune even with communal meals for hearty healthy good value low cost, and endless creative culinary inventiveness! 🙂 (Good afternoon:)!:)

good example. if gene therapy refers to the ends (change in nuclear DNA), not the means, could we say radiation therapy qualifies?

Replying to 

@antonioregalado and @dshahh

Gene therapies consist of genes (just as mAb Tx consists of antibodies, & protein Tx consist of proteins). Genes can be RNA or DNA (e.g. in viral delivery of Tx & can interconvert via RT & RNAP).

Thanks, and great, Prof. Gooding-Williams -
https://philosophy.fas.harvard.edu/event/harvard-university-minorities-and-philosophy-colloquium-lecture-robert-gooding

Abstract:

Du Bois and the Idea of Beauty:

In this talk, Prof. Gooding-Williams explains Du Bois’s conception of beauty and lays out, in a preliminary way, his phenomenology of the experience of beauty.  Du Bois’s notion of beauty, he argues, is a conceptual distillation of his phenomenology. 

What if a life doesn't end - re immortality through genetic engineering revolution drug therapies emerging (per Harvard Prof of Genetics' George Church) - would Dubois think that such a life can never be complete, and thus never beautiful?


Regarding your "An event, e, counts as beautiful only, if, through its completion, it presents itself in a new and unexpected light"; for Du Bois, could this possibly be extended to refer to diurnal rhythms, the daily being awake (woke) & sleep experiences per, further, your - "There is something in the nature of Beauty that demands an end" - the end of each day, substituting for sleep for death for completion??

Question:
Ugliness may be eternal since incomplete (for you, or Du Bois), but beauty requiring completion, may become daily forever, re immortality potentially - and thus in a new unexpected light? Could you please riff with these questions? Thank you.

(Appreciating too your mentioning Du Bois’s sunset example of beauty)




(Harvard Prof George Church mentions the 'immortality' word here - https://youtu.be/mztOFAQf8uY - at about the 8 minutes' mark) ... daily diurnal sunset black Jamaica beauty forever for Du Bois?

New light every day, re Jamaican sunset or daily sunrises, and in using language, writing, chapters, Du Bois’s philosophical modeling of writing about beauty, …. thus Du Bois, a complete life, and beautiful … as Harvard Professor

Robotization of Law? - Stanford Law CodeX


Dear Roland, Helena,


Thanks for your CodeX presentation - https://law.stanford.edu/2022/02/14/391189/.

Asked this at the very end of your Stanford Law CodeX talk: 

"Thanks for your great talk, Helena, In your envisioning, could physical robots as lawyers - in 10 years - practice law legally in Slovakian courts, in the Slovak language, (and how could a realistic virtual earth for law - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLaw?src=hashtag_click - and a realistic virtual earth for robotics help; am thinking Google Street View with time slider Maps, Earth, with TensorFlowAI, and realistic avatar bots)?"

If Slovakia CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - planned in the Slovak language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages -

Poetry - Paul Jolly - Atheist Quakers ~ 

Port a potty, tsunami, and a dude who's skeptical about the experts


View this email in your browser
Paul Jolly's Monthly Poetry Blog
 
Port a potty in the tsunami
 
I am the coastal lifeguard and tsunami scout 
on duty when the Tonga earthquake threatens the vast 
Pacific.  He is the tsunami denier, cheerfully cursing 
the cautious, ever-wrong bureaucrats who lock
the gate with warning: beach closed, tsunami threat.
We manage a mostly-cordial gab.  When we were kids 
that ocean chaos nightmare was called a tidal wave. 
I aver tidal wave sounds mild,
like a moon-cycle ellipse.  Tsunami’s rush 
of consonants, impossible in English, signals pernicious
as a tsetse fly, tyrannical as a tsar.  He opines 
transpacific politically correct, know-nothing
know-it-alls telling decent people what they can say,
can’t say, can’t enjoy a beautiful day on the beach. 
He harrumphs into the port-a-potty.  The rant echoes 
through the vents, anti-California, anti-expert palaver.
The flood threat is a stupid hoax, he gushes.  No waves
bigger than two feet, surge ha!  Just watch. 
His pants-around-ancles, full-tilt yammer crescendos
with “Socialist fascist nanny-state bureaucrats
cripple American independence” when the monster wave 
crests at the horizon.  I unbuckle surfboard from truck.  
He chatters from his tax-funded temporary palace,
that apex of molded plastic architecture.  Flimsier 
than a straw house, huffed and puffed by the biggest, 
baddest wolf.   I dive into the tumult, rescue
him in his bobbing capsule, his free speech zone, 
his bathysphere of doom. That’s what we do, us mindless sheep, 
minions of the Big Man, slaves of the state.
