Is there much Bangla 'poetry philosophy', or academic western philosophy as poetry, I wonder?


It could possibly be interesting to learn what courses in philosophy he took at Harvard in the mid 1890s and regarding happiness in particular 
and then trace forward these academic philosophical influences to his 1927 "The Desiderata" poem when he was 55 yo. But he says much wisely and philosophically in these brief lines. What do you think? Is there much Bangla 'poetry philosophy', or academic western philosophy as poetry, I wonder? (Can't think of much off hand). Have you written any ? (I have 1 long poem on philosophical consciousness in my 4th book of poetry - 



Best wishes, Scott 
Appreciating the poetic philosophical brevity and succinctness of The Desiderata -

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

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.

Of interest? Tweeted by friend Brendan Chan in the Harvard Graduate School of Education, formerly a Google Education computer scientist (and who may be able to help World Univ & Sch grow as I.T. in many countries, as part of his Ed.D.) -

Scott G K MacLeod | 210 East End Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15221 - Looked up Lacan and psychopathology ... then psychopathology and murder, and found this article from the US justice department, theoretically:  


Hi Lisa Ximei (owner of KK Rentals' management co. regarding the 210 East End Avenue, Pgh PA 15221 property), Stephon Owens, Lt. John Tadler, Shawn Flaherty, Nick Thompson, All,  

Good Sunday morning!
 
Thank you Lisa Ximei ! When I returned to 210 East End ave Pgh 15221 last night the hot water in the kitchen sink was fixed with new faucet handles etc. too. Thank you. Language is working here, re quiet time in the night, and cessation of cigarette smoking etc!

While I called the Allegheny county police on Thursday to develop an official inquiry into the death of Jackson Shannon and the disappearance of Harold Tyler - were they both murdered regarding the illegal violence industry? - and by a possible criminal serial murderer psychopath? frederic khayat (re email below to Ken Thompson MD, and many friends) - are some questions for which evidence may emerge now with this official police report, and to protect people etc. (whether an eviction of possible murderer(?) (accomplice?) and criminal frederic khayat in other ways??? occurs etc ...)

Thank you for making the hot water work in the kitchen again. And thank you for using the "Pure Drop toilet odor eliminator" in your toilet, as I am using it in my toilet. Due to poor grouting between these two bathrooms, I hypothesize the molecular bonding substance in Pure Drop is working - with consistent use!

Best wishes, abolitionally, in asylum in PA from CA, seeking for all of us to stay safe, 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 (flag of Scotland), Ken - and walk for 2 hours through the community of Shadyside and East Liberty! 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 (e.g. 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 freedom-seeking (student) movements of 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?) and culturally / medically 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), or perhaps he will be as the evidence accumulates or doesn't ... 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, even?

... so on with Yoga - in my abode - and especially use of language in writing, and now talking (the speech act), about these possible 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? Again, 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? - Ken what's going on with this too?), best wishes, and thank you,
Scott

Hi Lisa Xemei (owner of KK Rentals' management co. regarding the 210 East End Avenue, Pgh PA 15221 property), Stephon Owens, Lt. John Tadler, Shawn Flaherty, Nick Thompson, All,  

Greetings.

FYI:  Officers Friess and Greer came over, documented my deceased and disappeared (and possible murders') report, suggested I contact the landlord over Lisa Ximei Peng  (but whose name I've inquired about before, and haven't been able to find out), and I also mentioned my father Gordon K Macleod MD's head injuries, and a number of other things ... and will see what comes of it. 

I mentioned both stephon owens and frederic khayat ... and mentioned the possibility of murders in the violence industry, and for profit (and to become part of some security apparatus or another sub culturally, anthropologically - a tragic rite of passage into a guild???) and the possibility that this house is involved in organized crime re prostitution, possibly illegal drugs, and related criminality ... 

Glad to have made this city of Pittsburgh police report, and regarding potentially the state of California and the state of Pennsylvania and the US federal government all working together effectively to protect people from crime, from being murdered, from the perpetrators offenders criminals in the illegal sex and drug industries ... and regarding growing MIT OCW wiki World Univ & Sch. Lisa Ximei Peng, what's the landlord's name and telephone number (per the police officers' suggestion)? And John Tadler, do you know these officers - or what's the way please to get this police report into the FBI's databases too ... and regarding growing an abolition movement?

If frederic khayat or the OWNER of this 210 East End Avenue, Pgh Pa 15221 house are murderers, SHOULD THEY FACE DUE LEGAL PROCESS AND regarding international, federal or state law ... and regarding this possible murders of minorities, a dwarf and an African American) ... or at least an eviction of frederic khayat if he's a security risk, and the owner speculatively could be an outlaw in Hawaii (re some Youtube videos I've receiving of a Hawaiin volcano  going off, and at curious synchronistic times with what I'm doing re Google and Google Maps ) ... and even seeking MD psychiatry? Thank you!

Did you just knock on my door, Stephon Owns, or craven frederic khayat, for the FIRST time ever since September 2, 2022? I didn't answer since you, f.k., may be complicit in the possible murders of Jackson Shannon NYC, and Harold Tyler ... but instead after your 2 knocks, went over and locked the door from the inside. 

What's up? How are you doing? Are you seeing a MD psychiatrist yet? How are your police records growing - both regarding the FBI federally, and the state of PA, and internationally? 

Stephon or frederic khayat please let us know in email what's up - and why you knocked on my door.

Lisa Ximei, Larry, lawyers Shawn & Nick, Lieutenant John T. Sid, All, 

Greetings, and happy Yoga day to you, and salutations too in the middle of Black History month (I won't say 'happy' here), 

Was that the 'low' voice of craven frederic khayat across the hall I heard 2 nights ago at about 1 pm below me in conversation with a 'cackle' of a possible "kristy' in the rooms across from the front door of 210 East End Avenue, Pgh, PA 15221 - in the room just below me, that Collin, longest resident in this house you said, Lisa Ximei, showed me a glimpse of the other day for the first time, and that could be, it seems to me, some sort of salon (for illegal sex?) even . If so - it was so brief - could there have been an illegal exchange going on (re prostitute and john?)? ? ? ? ? 

The Quaker Chirs Mohr now in Philadelphia, director of Friends' Center Corp, formerly the clerk of the SF Friends Meeting in the mid 2010s when I was whistleblowing quite loudly about illegal activities in the this SF Quaker Meeting, - and where Chris and Robin, and his 2 sons, left SF soon after this to become 'professional Quakers' in the Philadelphia area, career-wise, just retweeted
"Community Legal Services of Philadelphia

How is the inquiry going, Lisa Ximei Peng (owner of KK Rentals' management company in Pgh), all (John Tadler et al.),  into the death of Jackson Shannon NYC, and the 'disappearance' of Harold Tyler here from 210 East End Avenue, Pgh PA 15221? 

If the obituary and the 2 legal notices posted to the front door presently are FAUX, and if frederic khayat could be the thinker behind these possibie deaths, as a criminal (possibly with kraven "fuck maga" links to EPFL university in French-speaking Switzerland) - and regarding possibly perpetuating the illegal sex and drug industries internationally, and their latent networks of violence - AND HOW COULD STATE, FEDERAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT KNOW WITH EVIDENCE? - would a possibly psychopathic frederic khayat seek legal counsel if he were hypothetically evicted from 210 East End Avenue, Pgh PA 15221 for the safety of us all? From Shawn Flaherty, or Nick Thompson above, or frederic khayat's lawyer father in Lebanon, or ? (Am not sure if legal counsel regarding possible evictions for this zip code 15221 in Pgh would be free or not ... compared with Philadelphia) ... {and World Univ & Sch's planned online Law Schools in 200 countries aren't function yet} 

But if this house has a possible history of murder or criminality - informing subsequent possible crimes - preceding the deceased Jackson Shannon NYC (a dwarf), and whatever happened to Harold Tyler (an African American I think), both minorities in the USA, how to protect people in this house, and change the POSSIBLE potential atrocities of murdering people? These are all questions, that might get brushed under the table, or overlooked if not known about or if there wasn't an inquiry or investigation. How best to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people, in the illegal sex, drug, weapons, exotic animals' industries, and their latent networks of violence (especially if frederic khayat could be a criminal perpetrator in these regards) ... and with regulation, including state of PA, federal, and international too? 
 
Would a criminal frederic khayat seek legal counsel if he were evicted? Lisa Ximei Peng, what crimes would it take for you to evict someone from 210 East End Avenue, Pgh PA 15221 - prostitution?, murder? drug dealing? sex trafficking? ??? Thank you for protecting all of us! 

(Am still quite traumatized by pastor kim viehland's question "Where are ...?" - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/01/iris-giganticaerulea.html - in some of these regards especially, and in a related vein.

Dear Ken, Ma (Janie), Ed, (John Sargent MD, Dr. Richard Robb, All), 


Good to talk with you on Saturday morning, Ken and good to talk with you last night, Ma! Thank you! 

My mother's mentioning the Superbowl last night led me to wonder about Pitt football - and UC Berkeley football too (college) ... and in WUaS calling for ABOLITION, of modern forms of slavery in the illegal sex and drug industries in sports, (professional and college etc), how this abolition would work regarding their latent illegal networks of violence (eg since football is a form of legal violence), and what role even Pitt football and Pitt management of organized crime, could have played in my father's head injuries, the first on Dec 30, 2004 on Pitt managed Semester at Sea. Thanks for wearing your Steeler's clothes on Saturday in this football city, and along with your tartan scarf in this Andrew Carnegie city. 

Am also wondering, Ken, Ma, Ed all, further about the illegal sex and drug industries, and their violent perpetrators in 'Quaker' Kendal Crosslands retirement center SW of Philadelphia, where Pittsburgher for decades Brigitte Alexander lives, whose husband George Alexander MD came on to me and who could conceivably, reasoning-wise, have called for the whacking of my father GKM MD, where both Brig and Gordon have/had 'strong' possibly aggressive inclinations. 


Just texted my mother, Tym and Ed:

"Hi Ma, really nice to talk with you and glad you had a great weekend. Interesting to learn about the Superbowl American football, happening as I called, from you, and to hear you don't understand it.  (I don't understand British Indian etc sport of Cricket). Phone signal stopping when I was talking about moving back into a newly safe Canyon 94516 in September 2023 and thanks for saying that was probably on your end ... makes me wonder about the pace at which it may be becoming newly safe, and if I meet a life partner MD in Pittsburgh, who would be a good fit in Canyon (maybe not a suburban wife per Sioux Davis Claus's possible playacting on Saturday). Also thanks for being check in-able, re my 'checking in', for your invitation to talk with Ken Thompson MD, which was good on Saturday ... And for saying you did a lot of folk-dancing with Dad before you were married, at least once outside under a gazebo or similar in Cincinnati as your memories come back ... it only takes a single neuron fitting to stimulate a memory I learned from Yale trained biologist George Alexander MD, ONE ... and another first glimpse for me into the time in the mid 1950s before your marriage :) Nice to hear and learn ... 💕, Love, Scott


Hi Tym, a hike next zunday? :) The Kansas city chiefs won the superbowl 38-35 in the big dance with the Philadelphia eagles! An American ritual! How are you doing back in the USA? HUGS, Scott (could canyon 94516 become a kind of nice safe suburb of Berkeley/Oakland I wonder:) ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Canyon?m=0 ... 💗


Hi Ed! a hike 3rd zunday of September? :) How are you doing? The Kansas city chiefs won the superbowl 38-35 in the big dance with the Philadelphia eagles! An American ritual! HUGS, Scott (could canyon 94516 become a kind of nice safe suburb of Berkeley/Oakland I wonder, and if I sonehow could bring west a suburban MD wife:)? ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Canyon?m=0 ... 💗


Ken, can I follow up in seeking to talk with you professionally ... and regarding a kind of UPMC protection as they reimburse you, and also regarding a further inquiry into the Univ Pitt Med Ctr's and Pitts' possible roles in organized crime internationally tragically (eg re my father's injuries), - and as we talked about with Univ Pitt Med Ctr now being in 3 US states (PA MD WV) ...and implications for federal law on UPMC esp and regarding state law too newly ... and regarding friend Tym Lenderking (a next possible US Secretary of State?) too turning bright red in a C&O canal huke in Maryland as I mentioned passing  a brand new UPMC in Maryland accidentally and surprisingly to me
on the way to hiking with him.

Thank you, abolitionally, Friendly regards, Scott

Veda, Stefanie, Susan, 


Nice to meet you!
Was asking Susan and my other friends how Appalachian square dance differs from say western square dance, and based on last night at that somewhat out of the way church at Mintwood and 39th in Lawrenceville, Pgh, I think Appalachian square dance is more loosy goosy or this one more 'goofy goody' than western square dancing:) What do you think?

Veda, 
was looking to see if Korean language is in ChatGPT (the AI software I'm just beginning to learn about, but haven't used yet) and see that it is supported apparently -

"ChatGPT: Optimizing Language Models for Dialogue" since they've "trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way" 
https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/


FYI, here are a number of ChatGPT videos - 
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/02/shagbark-hickory.html - after attending a Google Educators Group India on Use of AI for Productivity out of GEG Ahmedabad 

Will add some of these further to https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) including especially this one from Karen L. McKee of the US Geological Service 

Can ChatGPT Write Your Next Scientific Paper?
Karen L. McKee
https://youtu.be/wnGPt030IG4 

Participated in a fascinating philosophy learning salon with the great David Chalmers - with some exploration too of whether ChatGPT and similar could be considered to be conscious (and how, and what is consciousness or subjective experience?) - 


Thnx Dave for your 3hr "Could a #LargeLanguageModel be Conscious?" F 1/20 talk https://www.crowdcast.io/e/learningsalon/58 (RECORDING!) Delving further >https://philpapers.org/archive/CHACAL-3.pdf (https://philpeople.org/profiles/scott-gk-macleod) re #LLM & #RealisticVirtualHarbinEthnography in #GSV w #TimeSlider w #GTranslate #TensorFlowAI ~

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1621143411381391361

https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1621145223241023490?s=20&t=5fkxXW90wZDmJ4WO127c_Q

At about 2 hours and 50 minutes, you see how my Physical Digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic Book project may begin to explore how to make the Large Language Model of Google Translate with Google AI - like possibly ChatGPT (in Korean and Tamil languages) for example, conscious. 

And in a related vein, I think this is a fascinating and very bemusing or funny question too - 

Could we create #RealisticVirtualHarbinEthnography in #GoogleStreetView w #TimeSlider w #GTranslate #TensorFlowAI as #LLM to become #CONSCIOUS in @HarbinBook #WUaSEthnography Project 2 https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 http://bit.ly/HarbinBook #NakedHarbinEthnography @WUaSPress as #WebBook?



The 'dance' meditation in warm water in the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool (which is a key field site in my Harbin anthropological studies) is very different from Appalachian square dancing (or Scottish Country Dancing) too :)


Stefanie, is this your husband, Franklin Chou, by any chance (I searched hand surgeon, pgh, your last name in gmail) - https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-franklin-chou-ycy4r ?

World Univ & Sch's online planned 200 Medical Schools in all 200 countries and with related 200 online teaching hospitals, and even with Toyota Ambulance Vans as WUaS medical schools, with telerobotic surgery (in what ways can World Univ & Sch Toyota Humanoid Robot THR3s to become a MD professor of surgery with time, as an autonomous system, in the Toyota Proace Electric Ambulance vans, as another autonomous system) - and for hand surgery - might be of interest to your husband. World Univ & Sch, brainstorming-wise, is also seeking to develop a Physical-Digital Realistic Virtual Earth for Surgery (thinking Google Street View with Time Slider with Maps Earth TensorFlowAI TensorStore where these medical simulations or virtual reality would inform the telerobotic surgery with AI and machine learning and their algorithms). 


Thanks, Susan, for the nice invitation to this Appalachian square dance, after Scottish Country Dancing (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Country_Dancing) together in the 1970s, and highland bagpiping before this - since we were playing practice chanters in the Ligonier Highland Games since around 1974 o4 1975 in wee beginning competitions together! :) 

Won't probably start a wiki subject for square dancing at this point, but you could for Korean soap operas, or Korean Media, or similar for example (since WUaS is wiki and anyone can begin a wiki school or subject, and begin teaching for example to Youtube, or add some resources like Youtubes)

Cheers, happy dancing, Scott

All, Since many of you seem to be heading for Seoul south Korea in April, around Sioux's birthday too, please learn a bit about Ham Sok Hon nonviolent peace activist nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize - 

"Ham Seok-heon was a notable figure in the Religious Society of Friends movement in Korea, and was nicknamed the "Gandhi of Korea." Ham was an important Asian voice for human rights and non-violence during the 20th century, despite numerous imprisonments for his convictions. "



 (which Nobel Prize for Peace Quakers' AFSC and British Friends' Service Council received in 1947 - 
with an inspiring address by Gunnar Jahn -

Happy travels, and dancing, Scott
