Scott,
Thank you for the links. But can you really capture happiness/Eudaimonia/Nirvana through a formula? Don't think so. Happiness is mostly retrospective – I mean it exists in memory -- one thinks back about a time and realizes that one was happy. It is not a goal, so it is never in front of you.
Best,

Nita,
What do you think about The Desiderata as a philosophical formula -
- especially its last word 'happy'? Could it be conceived as helpful, 'western,' philosophical coding in these regards?
What's a translation of this into Bangla, or a similar or related text in conversation?
Thanks,
Scott

Seeing you? (Meeting in front of the Saltire flag ... flag of Scotland)
Hi Ken, Shawn, John, Ed, All,
Greetings!
Ken, again, the address is 5822 Walnut St (in case of another hidden Saltire around here I don't know about:) ... and one can actually see the Saltire here in Google Street View -5822 Walnut St -

Am hoping to touch on the items in the first email in this "Seeing you?" thread, but here in this April 1, 2020 blog post are some 5 alternative hypotheses for the 'coronavirus pandemic' beginning in the section with:
"New newspaper ...
"Hypothetical News"
... with first tentative headlines:
The novel coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS CoV-2) pandemic has been primarily

a fire drill - i.e. 'in case of emergency' (eg genetic, war, nuclear) - and lead to ... "
beyond "How are the Harbin Hot Springs' Residents coping - in this time of 'national emergency' re the coronavirus pandemic in the USA?"

Just received a Valentine's Day card from my wonderful mother on paper "I'm stuck on you ..."
thank you, Ma! ... and I'm continuing to seek a life partner, possibly a MD in her 20s with whom to begin a family of 3 or so!

This 1 minute video interview with Harvard MIT professor of genetics' George Church on aging reversal continues to be something I'd like to develop in a realistic virtual earth for genetics and with physical digital avatar bot electronic medical records at WUaS for all 7.9 billion people on planet -
George Church on Age Reversal (December 2019)
"aging reversal is something that’s been proven about eight different ways in animals where you can get, you know, faster reaction times or, you know, cognitive or repair of damaged tissues"
See you soon, Ken, and thank you!
Best wishes, abolitionally, Friendly regards, Scott

Some of our Thursday conversation here -
PPS
PPPS
the unexplained death of Jackson Shannon NYC after he was moved out of 210 East End Avenue Pgh PA 15221 by craven frederic khayat's front porch room possibly pimp & prostitute 'friends' her name 'Karen'
PPPPS
and concerned about my father's 2 subdural hematomas and possibly Univ Pitt Semester at Sea connections with organized crime internationally, and wrongly ... since he could still be alive today otherwise ... And with emerging aging reversal genetic drugs living decades ahead ...
Thank you, Ken, All!

Dear Ken, Shawn, John, Ed, All,
Good morning! Just after I sent the email at 1:55am this morning, I went to the toilet, which is adjacent to Stephon Owens' room and the shared bathroom of him and frederic khayat - and heard someone quietly say "shit," the first time I think I've heard a word from that direction since 9/2/22 when I moved in (although I've heard music and a fan going from there etc). Craven frederic khayat reading an email from state of PA or federal legal processes or similar - in the bathroom ???? (a first hypothesis re an often 'emotionally controlled' frederic khayat, as a possible psychopathic soldier, either in a nation state's uniformed service or an extra-territorial 'insecurity cult' from switzerland and Lebanon???)

It was really good to connect further talking with Nita Dasgupta (with a philosophy PhD from India, and one from MN, age ~58) after the great Pitt Philosophy talk with Sergey Frolov (with PHD from the Netherlands' TU Delft, and possibly from Russia originally) visiting here from the University of Texas El Paso (re western US 'desert' culture ... having lived in the western US much since 1979 myself) ... and originally from west Bengal, India (where my best friend from high school at SSA Pin Mazumdar and his parents were born, where both Sati and Mainak are retired Pitt professors, all in Baltimore MD now), before moving to the US when Nota was 35, and who is returning to UTEP after her academic sojourn at Pitt Philosophy in April.
The Pitt Press just published in 2021 her
Creativity from the Periphery
Trading Zones of Scientific Exchange in Colonial India
I had said I would glance at it as we talked yesterday, and as I did, my abolition instincts grew with the language of "trading zones" in its title, and 2 possibly 'hsiwej" book blurbs. An economic focus to a philosophy book title on creativity far from global philodophy's academic centers seemed incongruous with Nita and my 2 conversations ... and makes me wonder further about the academic philodophy industry and the illegal sex and drug industrues and their latent networks of violence - re academic philosophy and organized crime even, possibly tragically from the 'ivory tower.'
Following on a number of emails with Pitt Philosophy's Colin Allen, the 2 recent speakers, Nita Dasgupta and Steven Gray (a fisheries' prof from Michigan and possible friend of Colin's), I had shared this with Bita ... re "HAPPINESS," an old theme in Philosophy too -

Ma (Jane), Pete (Norvig), Ken, Shawn, John, Ed, Marc Dupuis in French speaking Switzerland, All,
Thought about wearing my kilt, Ken, but probably won't
Ma, was 11/25/07 the day Dad GKM MD died or was it 11/27 or - and per the date on the envelope with your gift membership card to the carnegie Museums.
Peter, could craven frederic khayat have been reading my this gmail I sent this morning at 1:55 - through some sort of CMU-Google Pgh security apparatus connection - when I heard someone say "shit" in an emotionally charged way.
Marc (immunologist friend from SF for 6 years in the late 1990s), are you an officer in the Swiss Army, a general even or similar (with your dating Lisa Klinck Shay in the 1990s ... adn my father's connection with Sylvie Klinck and possibly a Shay connection to the CIA or similar)?
Ken, leaving soon for our walk-talk, but the car warning lights were coming on curiously last nights .. as a heads' up.
Abolitionally, Friendly regards, abiento, Scott

Dear Dr. David Demoise MD at UPMC, Ken Thompson MD, (Ma, John Sargent MD, Ed Smyth MD, Dr. Richard Robb MD), All,
Nice to see you in front of the house with the Saltire flag, Ken - and walk for 2 hours through the community of Shadyside! What's a Hume-ian MD? Glad you were wearing a tartan scarf, with your Pgh Steelers' football team clothes.
Just shared this with my mother in some of these regards -
"Hi Ma, Had a good talk, and walk, with Ken for ~2 hours. May be seeking to grow an abolition movement in Squirrel Hill as a consequence of our walk-talk. Regarding Lacan and psychoanalytic psychiatry, and Lacan's tripartite schema of the 1) imaginary/mirror 2) symbolic and 3) 'the real,' I think Ken might see himself in a mirror role as conversant after our talking about Lacan today ... but he said he was a Hume-ian (Scots' philosopher David Hume, 1711-1776, in the so-called Scottish Enlightenment) MD psychiatrist ... Whom?
Am not sure what this refers to, but maybe to Hume's 'animal instincts' or 'ardor' (desires) about which I have only caught glimpses (with a bit more about this here -
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/david-hume-and-the-disease-of-the-learned-psychiatry-in-philosophy/4A930169D13E967597ADCA354A0965D5 and
https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/4A930169D13E967597ADCA354A0965D5/S0007125020000768a.pdf/david-hume-and-the-disease-of-the-learned-psychiatry-in-philosophy.pdf ...
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hume/) and vis-a-vis Hume's philosophical language orientation somehow theoretically ... Sending (abolition-ally) love (since 1832 in Britain, and the 1860s in the USA at least), Scott (Could abolition mean love mean care? - and here's the care label in daily blog
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/care ) Thanks for your nice birthday invitation, Ma! Appreciating Ken's long fingers in some of these regards, and our conversation, Love, Scott"
... but Hume wasn't a psychiatrist, and he lived in the 'turbulent' 1700s in Scotland and France etc, being born just after the "Act of Union" in 1707, where Scotland lost its independence to England, whereas Lacan MD was a MD psychoanalytic psychiatrist who lived through the 1960s and 1970s.
Just revisited and found this video of Lacan giving a public lecture in 1973, and appreciate in particular his interaction with the French hippy youth at about the 20 minutes' mark
'Jacques Lacan Public Lecture 1972'
but appreciate this Lacan talk in so many other ways. Lacan MD is amazing in some ways, but very French or Belgian too.
Looked up Lacan and psychopathology ... then psychopathology and murder, and found this article from the US justice department, theoretically:
'Psychopathology of Serial Murder: A Theory of Violence'
"... The serial murderer is examined in the context of the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders."
Seems like a psychopathic? (criminal?) Craven soldier? frederic khayat could be a possible serious security risk - and possibly complicit in 2 murders of Jackson Shannon and Harold Tyler ... and won't be evicted (per Ken this morning) ... And why is it so hard to find out what happened to the deceased Jackson Shannon and the disappeared Harold Tyler ... could this be the tragically unjust 'work' of a serial murderer, frederic khayat?
... so on with Yoga - in my abode - and especially use of language in writing about these psychopathologies (e.g. murderers???) ahead ... Glad I made the police report to the city of Pgh police officers' on Thursday ...
Ken, wouldn't it make sense to find out from the police or similar what happened in the death of Jackson Shannon NYC and the disappearance of Harold Tyler ... before another serial murder might occur? Why is it so difficult to get an answer to how Jackson Shannon NYC died?
And thanks for talking Ken this morning in Shadyside, and on a pretty morning! Was that actually Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google AND Alphabet who walked by us as we were talking ... and on the way to the Google Headquarters at Bakery Square (Peter Norvig:) It looked like him?
Abolition-ally, Friendly greetings, in asylum in PA from CA ... and please stay safe, Ma (e.g. regarding that "She dies" comment in the Carnegie public library Oakland ... from a psychopath there?), best wishes, and thank you,
Scott
