Conscientious objection
Dear John, Jane (Ma), Sid, Ed, All,
Greetings and I hope this email finds you well. I just shared these texts with my mother - and on an asylum journey on the eastern seaboard of the USA which is continuing -
I'm worried about my brother's potential for violence, and regarding what happened to my father with his first subdural hematoma Internationally. And I wonder how MD psychiatry might help him.
Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions?
Fond regards, abolitionally, best wishes, Friendly greetings, Scott

Dear John (Sargent MD), Jane (Ma), Sid (Mazumdar HHS), Ed (Smyth MD), All,
Greetings, all. As a further followup, and observation Chemistry teacher David Warr was looking pretty red faced as he made a U-turn on Cuttyhunk in a golf cart at the corner of Broadway and Tower Hill road yesterday (and I've sometimes wondered how he - and his daughter Jen and her Andrew might be involved in the illegal sex and violence industries, even on Cuttyhunk, sadly ... ), and I'm a conscientious objector to the illegal sex, drug, violence, weapons, exotic animals, etc. industries and their latent networks of violence ... abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in all 200 countries and re their official & main languages, and in remote locations!
Again,
Dear Ma,
How are you doing?
as you may have read yesterday ...
Dear Ma (Janie), John, Ed, Pin, Charles,
Planning-wise ...
this asylum journey on the eastern seaboard is long but I am optimistic that my flight to the SF Bay Area on Sunday 10/1/23 will open the way to move back into a newly safe open 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon Ca 94516
, abolitionally, love, Scott (
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Canyon?m=0)
Ed (Smyth MD), am grateful for your call on F 8/25/23 ... and looking forward to seeing you on around 10/1/23 in the SF Bay Area potentially
Thank you, Charles (Nesson, Harvard Law), for your email in this thread about all 3 of the MacLeods being owners of the MacLeod Cuttyhunk house - and which seems like a great 3 season house to return to for 3 weeks in October after I fly out west from Pittsburgh and back there ... then to Cuttyhunk from around 10/7-10/23 (with a heater) - and then seek to move my things from Pgh to the SF Bay Area and drive west to possibly a newly safe open 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 on Nov 1, 2023.
Ed, Sid, am seeking to get the WUaS Academic Medical Center up and running immediately if at all possible - and potentially with incomes for both of us, you as Chief Medical Officer, me as MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch president. Would this be possible please in collaboration with Kaiser Permanente NorCal potentially? (As I write my 6th book on "Soc, Info Tech and The Global Univ," I'm running out of financial support - and see this F 9/15/23 daily blog post:
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/09/gardenia-taitensis-pf-national-flower.html).
Thank you, abolition-ally, best regards,
Scott

PS
I've booked a flight out of Pgh on 10/1/23 and it would be wonderful to see you before this ...
PPS
Have also registered for the SSA Homecoming on F 9/22 & Sat 9/23 but am considering cancelling the SSA reunion after getting your email here. Are you reading these planning emails with Ed, John & Sid? It makes no sense to rent a place in Pgh for 3 weeks in October ... especially as one of 3 owners of the Cuttyhunk house this autumn.
Could we talk about some of this soon, possibly please? Love, Scott

Dear John (Sargent MD), Jane (Ma), Sandy (MacLeod, brother), Alden (Briscoe, Quaker George School & Harvard alum), Sid (Mazumdar HHS, Harvard alum),
Ed (Smyth MD), All,
It seems like there's a learning opportunity here - and regarding conscientious objection especially, which has a long history among (Nontheist) Friends / Quakers too, and am learning.
Conscientious objection
as "conscientious objection as protest based on conscience" re the conscionable word you used Sandy
as
'guided by conscience : characterized by fairness and justice compare unconscionable.
Conscionable'
is a shared language; thanks, Sandy!
Among Friends, 'discernment' is a word that has emerged to navigate questions emerging for the individual (or community) such as how to conscientiously object as a form of witness 'to seeking the truth.'
I'll 'center down' and 'labor' with you Sandy too re a related Friendly
'convincement' word too
Yogic meditation and sitting, a welcome daily practice, opens attuning possibilities to conscientious objection and discernment (a form of thinking (neurophysiology-wise)

Super to see you on Cuttyhunk August 2023, Brent and Serena (Davis Hall)
Dear Brent and Serena,
Super to see you on Cuttyhunk August 2023 and great to talk with you - and after you came in on kayaks to your dock. I hoped I would come over after your dinner, - and apologies for holding up your dinner with our conversation. Thanks for the delicious cheese, and bubbly water.

Regarding conscious AI and ML -
Here's the article by David Chalmers, "Could a Large Language Model Be Conscious?" I mentioned, sans Twitter (and I couldn't find your Twitter, Brent, which you don't use anyway, but do share a bit of where I go with this, both sans Twitter and with it too ) -
And here are some of the directions I go with this ...

It would also help if contracts for generic drugs included a commitment to building a significant reserve to support responses to supply disruptions as we are currently pre-empting over 200 threatened shortages a year.
Redundancy of manufacturing locations, which can include domestic locations, and of suppliers is important to mitigate risks to supply that can occur from natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts, or other less predictable events.
We remain committed to partnering across government, academia, and industry to strengthen and diversify the supply chain and ensure Americans continue to have access to drugs that are high quality, safe and effective.
Let's have another talk soonish. :)

Great to see you too, Scott, and thank you for the David Chalmers article. I just finished reading it and l love it. He does a wonderful job of identifying and explaining many of the relevant arguments about AI consciousness. That was great. However, I really don’t have time for more emails, so please don’t send them. There aren’t enough minutes in the day for all the things I have to do and want to do.
Thanks again for stopping by.

Hi Brent and Serena,
Thanks again for our visit. I've removed your 3 emails from the WUaS News and Q&A emailings, Brent.
Will Harvard Med Sch and MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church be able to successfully target $2 / dose / day? and in a FDA approved early aging reversal / longevity genetic drug therapy and by 2030? What do you think?
Am curious per our conversation how the Googles will watch the Apples and vice versa, the Walmarts will watch the Amazons and vice versa, and the US federal government (and all 200 federal governments) will engage the Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrencies (and how Stanford Mine Pi will watch itself with its KYC process) and related cryptocurrencies - in all 200 countries and in their main languages - in terms of protecting people, kids, women, victims and as MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch grows online law schools in all ~200 countries and in all 50 US states and with AI, machine learning, law, law enforcement, and even avatar bot electronic medical records for all 7.9 billion people, each a Wikidata PIN # -

Cuttyhunk friend, David Thurston, and global warming communications, over the years, with Cuttyhunk as an observation site
Hi David, while this summer on Cuttyhunk did seem warmer and more humid than, say, in the decades of the 1970s or 1980s, there's still no sign of ocean rising to my eye regarding the shorelines' boulders, the dykes on Church's or Barges' or Jetty beaches, or docks ... Good thing I think, that global warming may not be reaching a threshold effect super quickly thus potentially melting the ice caps and releasing vastly more amounts of water into the oceans ... Could humans have understood the science, reduced CO2 ETC enough, and could treaties have worked? Am on the lookout for such analyses. How are you doing? How is your autumn shaping up? Do you have a lot of tutoring students? Cheers, your citizen scientist, Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20climate%20change?m=0)
