Cebuella pygmaea (Pygmy marmoset): WUaS financial reports for Saturday's 7/17/21 open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting * * * how best and soonest to REVERSE global climate change, re dramatically reducing, for one, greenhouse gas emissions, and even with the

WUaS financial reports

Dear Larry, Henry, Tym, (All),

Could I please get the 2 WUaS financial reports for the past month, Larry? 
Greetings, All the best, Scott
PSAm hoping to send them out with the 7/17/21 WUaS Agenda tomorrow, if possible. I've called you the past two days, Larry, and left a message about this, but you appear to be caught on the other line.
Am glad Henry (Cutter) said he is joining the WUaS Monthly Business Meeting this Saturday, - potentially from Randolph, NH. Thank you, Henry,  for calling to give me the address of your home there - and great that you're already in Randolph working these summer weeks away - with Victoria! (And what else do you have in mind during my proposed visit to you, Henry, in Randolph this weekend - besides attending in person the WUaS Monthly Business Meeting, with me in Randolph, loosely conducted in the manner of Friends/ NtQuakers, - as well as a Yoga class on the lawn, which you mentioned some months ago)? 
Henry - a question from a precautionary perspective: how are sexual politics playing out differently in New York city, on the upper east side, and near Columbia Univ, for example, where you live, and compared with in Randolph, NH? (As you might deduce from the WUaS Minutes' last month, I've had challenges with sexual politics - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/07/fin-whale.html - in the past few years, and regarding even for my calling for the abolition of the illegal sex industry, like the abolition of slavery, and among all 7.8 billion people) ... And I'd like to avoid any related sexual politics that might include even unjust, or very harmful, legal actions and in the NY / NH context.  If your company, Dow Jones - since you said you and Victoria were going to be working this weekend - could be looking for the next company to hire 2.2 million people, with offices in 200 countries and active in 7,139 known living languages, would it be better to gradually build an information-sharing relationship about this between us, and safely ... and do you think it would be better for you therefore to join the WUaS Monthly Business Meeting online, Henry, this Saturday? 
My good friend from Reed College Tym Lenderking (in the US State Dept, envoy to Yemen ... with an introduction herein) called me yesterday on Cuttyhunk, and said, in one way or another, that telecommunications in diplomacy were all 'surveillance,' and that one reason for person-to-person, face-to-face meetings were partly to control for the limitations to telecommunications' diplomacy, and messaging. In my potentially traveling to Randolph, Henry, would we need or seek to gain anything regarding security of communications via our physical presence there? Thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions?
(And Tym, might you come and visit next week, after I return from visiting Henry, potentially, in Randolph, on Cuttyhunk - and before you head off to Sweden and then Yemen / the Gulf states on US State Department business, on the 25th?)

Thank you, Larry! (And thank you, Henry! ... and Tym!) I've attached one Finance Report from last month for the World Univ & Sch wing, which is both a 501 c 3 and a nonprofit in California (but not the Finance Report for the WUaS Corp, which is a for-profit general stock company in California,  from May 2021, which shows even smaller numbers). 
Looking forward to communicating further about World Univ & Sch, WUaS Corp. and seeing you one way or another this weekend, Henry! Would very much like to visit with you Henry, friendship-wise, but realize that you said you will be working this upcoming weekend in Randolph. What else might we do in Randolph besides WUaS Monthly Business Meeting, and a possible Yoga class on your lawn, if I were to come to Randolph, arriving on Friday afternoon, and departing Sunday morning? Thank you again for your great invitation, Henry!
Sincerely, Scott

PPSHenry, further thoughts about both Dow Jones and WUaS outreach regarding the 
A) WUaS Corporation's planned Actual-Virtual Academic Press at World Univ & Sch in 7,139 known living languages, with machine translation, and the related Actual-Virtual bookstores, computer stores, robotics' stores, hospital technologies' distribution centers in all 200 countries, as well as the B) plans to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Pin #, and to potentially distribute a single cryptocurrency in most of ~200 countries VIA Universal Basic Income experiments, and to end poverty worldwide even (in conjunction with free universal education wiki-wise among all 7.8 billion speakers, in all 7,139 living languages, each a Wikidata Pin # too?); see related WUaS Minutes from 6/19/21's Monthly Business Meeting: https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/07/wuas-minutes-for-61921-monthly-business.html  ...

Hi Ma, Sandy, All, 
Surf's up - for all you ocean sailors, ... and is the amount of ocean surface growing around the globe just a bit, and for a little more sailing distance in tacking, for ex., while sailing?
I just went over to Bill Archer's house, a very skillful craftsman - who's technically and measurement oriented - on Cuttyhunk to ask about installing 
Google Nest x  Yale Locks
https://store.google.com/us/config/nest_x_yale_lock
Installation https://youtu.be/E4wzlrAGDxo
in our MacLeod's Piney's House ... 
... and learned that indeed the oceans have risen, with Cuttyhunk static features (e.g. docks, jetties and dykes) as evidence. (I've been looking at these reference points, regarding these static stationary stone jetties and dykes on Cuttyhunk every year for this, - and which I've known since the 1970s here, but not scientifically, merely observationally, and have never gone out at a full moon to look at the Cuttyhunk Fish Dock for this evidence of ocean's rising, for example).
On the 2 'extreme full moons' (Bill Archer's language) per year, the waters at a full moon high tide, Bill Archer said, are regularly about 6 inches above the Cuttyhunk Fish Dock's planking - which planks were NOT raised (he said explicitly) when replaced the last time - and previously had been 6 inches below, suggesting an ocean rise of 12 inches, very roughly. And Bill Archer has been coming to Cuttyhunk at least since 1993. That's very dramatic sea level rising in my book, (and suggests a LOT of real estate and farm land loss worldwide too, already, and potentially in the future). And I've been looking at the stone jetties and dykes here on Cuttyhunk this year (2021), in passing for evidence of oceans rising, BUT not yet on a full moon which is Saturday, July 23, 2021 (https://www.almanac.com/astronomy/moon/full/MA/Boston), let alone during an "extreme full moon" which was Bill's language, at high tide, and which may refer to Supermoons, the last of which in 2021 was May 26, 2021 - 
(There are two supermoons in 2021—and one was on Wednesday morning, May 26, 2021 at 7:14 a.m. EDT, and one in April 2021https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/super-full-moon.html
What is a supermoon?
https://www.almanac.com/what-supermoon)

But what do other measuring, technical and craftsmen folks say on Cuttyhunk about this? And what does the scientific evidence, at nearby Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution (https://www.whoi.edu), show about this too? And what does Massachusetts and federal LAW say about this global warming too? :) 
So get out your sailing surf boards - perhaps the winds and the waves are growing for surfing too! ... Or, better in my book, let's explore how best and soonest to REVERSE global climate change, re dramatically reducing, for one, greenhouse gas emissions, and even with the tools newly of a single realistic virtual earth for climate change ie #RealisticVirtualEarthForOceans  and #RealisticVirtualEarthForAtmosphere ... combined with a single #RealisticVirtualEarth for sailing too ...(thinking Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow AI, Google Oceans ...)

Ma, 

Seeking a boat a little different than Boston Whaler, fast, 17 or 18 feet, with tiny sleeping cabin, and 3 season tent console, good for water skiing  
And to get vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, and dairy ... And to camp out at Quicks Hole in too

For ten weeks next summer ... And a Laser sailboat 

Got some greens into me today ... After body lacking them for 3 days ... Glad the store got some new veggies in ... Yum to dark greens :)
Further, from earlier today - 
How are you? Again, a bit of a diverse email here ahead :) 
I think Peter Norvig's trust observation in a video interview re Google, and also it's  'Don't be evil' motto, are worth heeding for Google Nest X Yale Lock too ... Regarding getting this potential 'box' too on Cuttyhunk, - and could Sandy install it for added security? 
A 'box' of a house with an Unitarian life partner wife friend whom I might meet from the east coast with great shared ethics, via an introduction from Betsy Tabor & family or Tim House & family, - and to begin a family of 3? But what does being an Unitarian or Non-theist Quaker, or Yogi, or Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographer or anthropologist, or professor and president of World Univ & Sch, or bagpiper, or author, or husband, mean these days, and identity-wise too? And with a community of a neighborhood of friends, or similar! Sociality ... Re Cuttyhunk when younger, re Pittsburgh if I were to meet a prospective wife MD in Pgh in August passing through - a SSA graduate from 2010? - and connect remotely for a few months while getting to know each other! Then move into her house or get a house together in Pittsburgh (far from the Madding Crowd of big eastern cities, yet in a good substantial city with creative cultural offerings too) ... And visiting a realistic virtual Harbin and whole earth from PGH with FRIENDS   ... And also be much closer to Cuttyhunk for raising a family of 3, than California is to Massachusetts. ... (time to visit CA back country in next months before a possible move east to Pennsylvania in 2022 contingent on meeting prospective wife or life partner???) ...
Am appreciative of 'use it or lose it' thinking, and writing and reading emails, and talking, language-wise, about ideas ... esp if we live beyond 123 yo with good quality of life (although skepticism has much merit at this point still).  And yet could age reversing to 30 year old bodies in our 135 year old bodies be possible with genetic engineering aging reversal even? Thanks too for letting me know you read some of my email communications :) I appreciate receiving yours.
Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks. Love  you much, and appreciating our communication, in my sometimes alone-ness. Desiderata ... Good diet with many dark greens, - and for heading into good duet of life partner for family. Thank you! 
 Appreciating your Unitarianism which I think helps make you very wonderful ... And seeking to explore combining such with even knowledge & thinking from psychiatry - and for raising a family of 3 or so :) ... What happens when they're grown, and everyone is in their 500s ... Maybe move to Massachusetts, or another country for a year or 2, or back to California :) or to India for 3 years  ... Or The sky's the limit :)
Hoping Tym might visit :). Good to talk to Henry, and glad he called ... And while my visit to Randolph may have Business like overtones ... He said they'll be working when I arrive ... It's good to be visiting too civil old friends :) 
Meet my life partner in realistic virtual Harbin somehow ... Then meet on the ground :)  ... Maybe :)
Love, Scott

Heather Paxson, MIT professor of Anthropology (and of Quaker background) could be an interesting further contact for World Univ & Sch and our plans for creating careers, and here she just mentions edX tanking (with which WUaS is no longer partnering, I'm glad write) -

2Could WUaS create a course or share resources that could be used to instruct for example 10 German post docs in how to teach a flourishing SEMINAR newly, and, for example, to 100 German undergraduates and PhD students, and so they could begin teaching in this way to CC-4 MIT OCW courses - https://ocw.mit.edu/ AND - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - starting in January 2022, and here in these WUaS wiki subjects in particular -

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Assessment_and_Grading_at_WUaS_as_Part_of_Conversation_in_Learning ??? 
(And Fritz and I began our Bay Area Stammtisch conversation today talking about emotional intelligence and grading, which WUaS hopes to facilitate a conversation about in this wiki subject, and eventually in 200 countries and in their main languages). 


3A good course platform for both asynchronous seminar, and virtual reality with avatar bots - 
Is this JuryX, HarvardX, edX course from Charlie Nesson a helpful course platform approach, and for teaching the seminar method, even in conjunction with avatar bots, in some of the VR simulations - 
https://www.edx.org/course/juryx-deliberations-for-social-change ?



4And here's a little further information about edX being acquired by 2U, and Harvard and MIT getting $800 million dollars for edX - 
As
@edXOnline
 looks to its next phase of growth and impact, joining forces with
@2UInc
 marks a major milestone in our evolution. https://press.edx.org/2u-inc.-and-edx-to-join-together-in-industry-redefining-combination

https://twitter.com/agarwaledu/status/1409840804957409285?s=20

"2U to acquire substantially all edX assets, including edX brand, website, and marketplace"

"edX offers over 3,000 online programs, including a substantial majority of courses with a free/audit track, Masters and doctorate degrees, Professional Certificates, and MicroBachelors® programs and MicroMasters® programs." 

 ... with more here including a letter from the President of MIT - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/06/piping-plover-san-francisco-5-yrs-ago.html ... 

There will be no Bay Area Stammtisch that I'll facilitate on 7/17/21, since I'll be traveling (but would you like to facilitate a Bay Area Stammtisch, Fritz, Simone, Peter or anyone)? The next Bay Area Stammtisch will meet on July 24, 2021 - meet.google.com/pwa-jymy-ipk

NtF, NtQ Cheers, Scott (where if logged in I think you'll find the telephone # of Friends' Hospital in Philadelphia toward the top ...)


PSAm curious whether we could transpose Non-theist Friend or NtF into 'Non-God Friend' or 'Non-God Quaker,' or Non-Jesus Friend or Non-Jesus Quaker too? 
Thoughts, questions, ideas you'd like to share about this? Discernments ?

* 

Trevor Bending10:52 AM (2 hours ago)to nontheist-friendsThe only bit I find interesting is your PS Scott. Don’t think many of us want to be ‘Non-Jesus Friends’ and ‘Non-God Friends’ sounds pretty awful so my answer is no but after our first speaker at the NFN Conference last Wednesday (you can still register for next Wednesday and the following week 14th and 21st July 2021) who was Andrew Copson of Humanists UK, some might want to revisit ‘Humanist Quakers’ and perhaps identify themselves as such.

Trevor, Tim, Margaret, Anita NtFs, (Nontheist Friends, Non-theist Quakers, friends),
Thanks so much for replying, Trevor. 

Thanks too for the link to the conference, Nontheist Friends' Network related; I have very limited high speed internet for this month, so apologies that I can't make this. Who else might make this conference - https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk/2021/04/28/thats-the-spirit/ - among NtFs?
As a follow up to my previous email, and partly in response to your email, - given my experience among Friends / Quakers in California (and whistle-blowing about ethical wrong-doing and harming there too), there's a very significant need for excellent MD psychiatry among Friends, NtFs too perhaps, and in California especially. (And a MD friend in California's KP system, just retiring, says that Kaiser Permanente's psychiatry, for example, really only offers approaches to the 3 SSS - stress, sleep and sex (am wary what this last S might entail in California, regarding illegalities even within KP :( ) - but not family relationship psychiatry, for example). But perhaps psychiatry itself - in California, or in Pennsylvania, re Friends' Hospital - can NOT provide effective psychiatry for these issues even, these days (and regarding law, and accomplished psychotherapeutic clinical practices). And so perhaps too 'a way will open' with MD Avatar Bot Psychiatrists, - for some Friends/Quakers. 
Unlike perhaps too in the British Isles (where I became a member of the RSOF, in Edinburgh, Scotland, and in which city I have lived for 2 full years, so am a bit familiar with the culture there), and which doesn't have the oldest continuously operated mental health hospital founded and run by Quakers (since 1813), that I've observed, Friends' Hospital in Philadelphia does offer on the phone confidential assessments ... and ...
I suspect one could even Skype or digitally call this number from other countries if interested in seeking help, NtFs! - 
"A Quiet Refuge for Healing
Call 215-831-4600
Confidential assessments are provided 24/7

Welcome to Friends Hospital
On 100 beautiful acres in Northeast Philadelphia stands Friends Hospital, one of America’s oldest hospitals and the first private non-profit institution in the country, founded exclusively to help persons with mental illness. When people come onto the grounds of Friends Hospital, we want them to feel that they have left the city and entered a quiet refuge where the process of healing the mind has taken place for centuries.

Our admissions department is available 24/7 to provide a confidential assessment for you or your loved one." 
- https://friendshospital.com/ - 
Interesting to me too that they take and have taken an asylum residential approach - so PLACE-based, and allowing someone who is suffering to leave their physical milieu or social context (and thus possibly leave 'toxic' sociocultural environments too, perhaps being influenced by even sexual issues, which psychiatry has long focused on medically and significantly, and where religion, re the Jesus-language, or the God-language, including for Quakers, can't really handle communications-wise, or medically therapeutically). Perhaps Quaker Meetings in the Philadelphia area can even help offer Friends who don't have the financial resources to sojourn at Friends Hospital :) Wow! ... How could Nontheist Friends help other NtFs in these regards too? 
Interesting too that regarding being an in-patient at Friends' Hospital, and thus freeing oneself from one's physical social context for a spell - https://friendshospital.com/resources/packing-list/ - one can bring some items, but not, for example - "Laptop computers, cell phones or personal electronic devices." By way of comparison, I think that NtF-informed CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's psychiatry - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry - would seek to facilitate online MD Avatar Bot Psychiatry with a focus on talk therapy (as a therapeutic mutually-beneficial information technology communication exchange affecting behavior) between analysand and MD avatar bot psychiatrists, and thus offer - with time - excellent online psychiatry, very very different from Friends' Hospital's in-patient approach. I also think the legal issues relating to psychiatry would and will become transformed significantly in all of this developing online psychiatry, and for ex., with MD Avatar Bot Psychiatry talk therapy, in the US in the British Isle, and in all 200 countries and in their main languages too. 
Sorry friendly capable MD Avatar Bot Psychiatrists at World Univ & Sch are not available to speak with yet!
Thanks too for your thoughts about the significance or meanings oftranspose Non-theist Friend or NtF, Quaker name wise, as a kind of Lacanian too, (and regarding NOT translating NtF into 'Non-God Friend' or 'Non-God Quaker,' or Non-Jesus Friend or Non-Jesus Quaker too, idea-wise.

Hi Ma, Sandy, Tym, Sid, Dick, John and Joan, 

Some further brainstorming with regard to mentioning MD psychiatry in previous emails to you in this thread: 

"Dear NtFs, Tim, Anita, Friends, NtQs, Non-theist Quakers, All,

PSAm curious whether we could transpose Non-theist Friend or NtF into 'Non-God Friend' or 'Non-God Quaker,' or Non-Jesus Friend or Non-Jesus Quaker too? 
Thoughts, questions, ideas you'd like to share about this? Discernments ?"

After attending the Cuttyhunk library party to celebrate a new Cuttyhunk public library building, and seeing many old Cuttyhunk friends too - even regarding perhaps a more ethical ethos or discourse (than friends at the Avalon House Bluegrass concert) - and different from Jim Lovell's memorial (the 3 main Cuttyhunk gatherings I've been to this summer), I have further questions about ethics and law-abidance on Cuttyhunk and perhaps even regarding CG, commodore of the Cuttyhunk Yacht Club, whom I say only in passing arriving at this party on the lawn of the library - and very very speculatively. I learned in the Cuttyhunk public library itself (https://www.yelp.com/biz/cuttyhunk-public-library-cuttyhunk and https://mblc.state.ma.us/directories/libraries/library.php?record_id=1716 and ... ) from David Warr, an emeritus chemistry professor from Bristol college in MA, that there had been 7 kids in the one-room Cuttyhunk public school this past year - a surprise to me, since I thought it was going to be empty - and that two had been CG's kids, two had been Alan Berry's (sp.), a lawyer (& husband of a Garfield daughter - of Kitsy Garfield) kids, from Chicago - I didn't know he had kids in Chicago, and think he lives in Mass or NY or similar - and there were 3 other kids, whose names I didn't catch. Concerns about 'butterfly kids' come to mind here - and possibly law-breaking too. Evidence needed, - and all very speculatively, but worth speculating about if it might even protect Cuttyhunk Yacht Club kids, if a CG might have broken the law, become corrupted, etc ... How to protect innocents, minors, and victims from perpetrators and offenders ? How to protect on Cuttyhunk, tragically, too ... and even especially regarding the illegal sex industry? (Please remember that I'm living in a 'safe house' in the SF Bay Area, and because I called the police in Canyon 94516 twice last ~September 2020, whistle-blowing about illegal break ins and entries and more to where I was living ...) ... Am glad potentially to be safe on Cuttyhunk island this July too! ... But am concenred again about the latent culture of violence in the illegal sex industry, and am whistle-blowing and calling for abolition of it, as a way to seek change in these regards - and using language. More about the possible benefits of online MD psychiatry in some years in changing even these cultural processes further in future. Can a kind of abolition be achieved (and with comparisons to the abolition of slavery)? Am hoping so ...  https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/psychotherapy ... (am hoping to end this on a positive note with the potential for medicine to help effect change even:)
Fondly, Scott

Hi Ma,
Thanks for your email.
Your email is of some concern to me. It strikes me as curious coming after the Cuttyhunk library party.
Language is helpful in talking about painful issues, and about abolition of the illegal sex industry (like the abolition of slavery), for example, and as communication process .... as a way to effect change for example. Integrity and regarding the law and observing the law have much merit in protecting innocents, and victims, for example, too. ...  I'm happy to see if I can recommend some new ones to choose one from if that would be helpful. . . .  Glad you have a Cuttyhunk community like the one at the Cuttyhunk library for support. Perhaps there is a need for group and individual psychiatry too among people in Cuttyhunk library circles, and perhaps chat bot psychiatrists also hold some promise here (see below) ... And re abolishing the illegal s x industry as well (like abolishing slavery), if that's what you're referring to, - on Cuttyhunk??? ... Having already whistle-blown about ethical wrongdoing & harm re the SF Quaker Meeting, PYM Quakers, Stanford, UC Berkeley and Berkeley Law, Canyon, Reed ... which whistle-blowing perhaps is effecting some change for the better in those places, am willing to facilitate ... talking about - psychotherapy-wise (George Alexander MD-wise) - via psychiatry . . . 
... and here's the phone number of Friends' Hospital, a mental health hospital, in Philadelphia 215-831-4600 - https://friendshospital.com - for anyone to call if they'd like today or tomorrow (to 'abolish the illegal sex industry' one could say) ...
especially if we all could live longer than 122 years of age together due to aging reversal gene drug therapies, and re the benefits of Cuttyhunk community together. Re the latent cultures of violence in the illegal sex industry (on Cuttyhunk too???), am seeking to avoid violence - it's a club' for example - by talk. Thanks again for your email, Ma. 
Love, Scott

PS Psychiatry re moral, ethical, legal, and even Unitarian Universalist, non-theist Quaker (NtQ), and Yogic thinking. ... 
 And possibly in avatar Bot chat bot form too ...

https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/501812 ...

Also again ... But moving back to the Boston area or New England, or Pittsburgh too - re sociality - and then to meet a partner ... could make much sense ... Looking for connecting naturally and a great fit ... even a Scottish American MD who is warm and radiant, ethical and good, and 27-32 yo, ... to write this (Anke-Susan envisioning somehow) down in words, to engage language ...
Glad to have these options ... 
Just sent an email to Taylor to inquire if he'd like to have a piping lesson after I get back from Henry and Victoria's ... 
Love, Scott

And again too ... 
Hi Ma, Sandy, Tym, Sid, Dick, John and Joan, 
Following up on both some great Cuttyhunk stuff, and some 'scary stuff' too here ... (and per my previous email, Dick and All, I think I'd like to know what happened to my father in Belize in 2004 on Semester at Sea, if foul play played a role especially). Dick, thank you so much for coming to his funeral in the 1st Unitarian Universalist Church of Pittsburgh in 2007. 
Just went out sailing in a N10 sailboat ... which is like a Turnabout sailboat (which I grew up sailing in the Cuttyhunk Yacht Club), it's pretty much the easiest to sail of the CYC sail boats ... fun first time sailing this summer ... sailing and rowing skills all came back immediately ... sailed around the Cuttyhunk pond only to get my sea legs so to speak ... weather had turned clear and the wind was great for a little bath tub of a sailboat ... Will likely head sailing again soon ... (By the way, it was the 11 year old daughter of a former Cuttyhunk Yacht Club instructor who assaulted me in 2017 or so in the SF Quaker Meeting ... and where both mother and daughter could probably benefit much from psychiatry regarding that SFFriendsMeeting and in that city .. the mother had also gone to Dartmouth as an undergraduate, and Dartmouth Tuck school of Business for a MBA I think ... and is the treasurer for the SF Quaker Meeting ... to write of potentially sick entanglements ... FYI )
The Yacht Club doesn't feel entirely copacetic somehow ... but who knows what time will tell ... the Commodore, CG, a woman probably in her 30s or early 40s spent the whole year on Cuttyhunk over the winter last year ... but won't this year ... very very speculatively, could this have been somehow corrupting of her - ie did she break, or could she have broken, the law, and was she also Commodore in previous years?  (and even regarding the illegal sex industry???? ... and how might this play out for the CYC ... just some questions that are forming, and from one who was the head yacht club instructor in 1979 ... and a junior instructor for 2 years prior to this ... )
Hoping you have good weekends, all! (Am including some recent emails from the Odds and Ends thread in this email thread, and some other emails to my mother on July 6th, re 'scary stuff' in the SF Quaker Meeting a few years ago ... )
Fondly, Scott
(Here's the video of my father's memorial service on Cuttyhunk in 2008 - https://youtu.be/jRF9ytbh1ac - with Alastair Crag MD  in the first picture speaking where he began talking at 24:31 > From http://scottmacleod.com/family.htm) ... 

Ma, It (BEING ASSAULTED AT THE SF QUAKER MEETING BY A CHILD) was traumatic at the time, and which trauma has lessened with time ... I hope the individuals involved in the Quaker Meeting are getting help from MD psychiatrists (see blog posts below with Friends' Hospital phone #) but am sceptical that they are ... They broke the law in not doing background checks on people who taught the kids ... And potentially intentionally so. .. re even the intl illegal sex trade (scary stuff, but perhaps lessening after coronavirus pandemic) ... IN a related event at the time someone from the Meeting who went to MIT and Berkeley Law asked me to meet him - on Skyline Blvd near Canyon - as a representative of Ministry & Counsel in the SF Quaker Meeting, mentioning one other person from the Meeting on this Ministry and Counsel committee, and told me of his erotic incestuous fantasies for his niece pulling his pants down ... I left the Meeting at the time ... Glad Brig Alexander has addressed some of these issues -

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/chesapeake-bay-in-online.html (rather here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/03/pan-troglodyte-pan-paniscus-online-md.html )
- but I still won't seek to volunteer at the Cuttyhunk Yacht Club until invited or similar. Am hoping the CYC hasn't lost too many kids or had many legal frays over some of these issues of illegality with minors, for ex. (Spear girls???) (Abolish the sex trade!) Thanks for your concern, Ma!
Love, Scott


Ma
More Brigitte Alexander (widow of George Alexander MD) here in - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/03/pan-troglodyte-pan-paniscus-online-md.html - and as one who knows Quakers and child guidance and psychiatry to a degree ...


Ma,
Glad I was able to whistle blow about ethical wrongdoing and harm in 2016-17 in writing re the SF Quaker Meeting  (where Trader Hoes was mentioned in the Meeting room & re kids in about last time there ... Which I've whistle-blown about in my blog too ) ... May have saved some kids lives (re a horrendous code of perpetrators and offenders) ... and also with mentioning a Boston Globe article that John Palfrey had Tweeted about staff in so many boarding schools being the perpetrators & offenders, in a very long document I whistle-blew with at the time ... Protect the innocent and the victims before it happens again! All ages !
Hope federal authorities can intervene better in CALIFORNIA than they have for decades too - and regarding the commercial aspects of all this, so tragically !
Live, Scott

Fritz and I talked about creating, brainstorming-wise, Avatar Bots as instructors last Saturday, with some of this here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/07/bog-turtle-fascinating-to-read-that-you.html?m=0 - and regarding this excerpt ...
"Fritz, (Peter, Markus Kroetzsch, Denny, Peter Norvig, computer scientists, Simone, Bay Area Stammtischlern), 
Thanks for your email after our Bay Area Stammtisch yesterday, Fritz ... Regarding avatar bots and developing them further ... 
AWould like to start 'building' avatar bots further right now ... In the UC Berkeley Anthropology talk I gave this past Dec 2020 -http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html?m=0
- I ended this talk with an animated .gif photograph in YouTube of Max Ehrmann 'reading' his 'poem' "The Desiderata" - but not yet interactively or conversationally (around slide #90) ... 
2020 ... "
See too the ideas about Avatar agency ... What does this mean (and regarding self-driving cars too), philosophically even (as possible further theme)?

Also, as Fritz and I closed the Stammtisch last week, I mentioned how Heather Paxson, MIT professor of Anthropology (and of Quaker background) could be an interesting further contact for World Univ & Sch and our plans for creating careers, and here she just mentions edX tanking (with which WUaS is no longer partnering, I'm glad write) - 

Sadly, EdX was tanking, crowded out by the commercial operations. But this disappointing news is, indeed, "reminiscent of another infrastructure transfer, in scholarly publishing... "

"Scott,Thank you so much for your amazingly forward looking reflections which fully resonate with me! 
The new potential of combining fundamental disciplines (Philosophy, Psychiatry, Psychology, Technology, Sciences, Leadership, Virtuality) as part of a valuable WUaS  PhD program focusing on efficient open-minded collaboration in most meaningful human ways sounds & feels fascinating to me.
Perhaps we can try moving from a ‘let’s wait and see’ mode to a much more proactive ‘connect, explore, experiment’ with enthusiasm for developing a Virtual Lab environment, similar to the space station research activities where hundreds of people assist the people who carry out the experiments. Such a virtual lab environment could also provide a ‘bootstrapping’ platform where avatar bots and people from all over the world begin to collectively learn from each other in interesting new ways. 
Since Avatars offer a 24/7 operating mode, time zone constraints or language barriers, for example, could be more easily mitigated. People could query ‘Avatar Clones’ and get a quick update on the progress being made during other people’s interactions with the virtual lab environment. The JOY of sharing and helping with ideas, skills and knowledge with others could also create a paradigm shift in moving away from self-centered success in learning. Any more thoughts on this emerging on your side, Scott?
Warmest regards,Fritz"

Sounds good. Here's a recent article on Avatar Bots in the German newspaper - https://www.faz.net/aktuell/karriere-hochschule/hoersaal/online-uni-videovorlesungen-waren-gestern-17417929.html - in these regards! See you soon! - Scott

Again, I would like for all of us to be able to start 'building' realistic avatar bots (aka Samsung Neons) further right now ... and see, In the UC Berkeley Anthropology talk I gave this past Dec 2020 -http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html?m=0
- I ended the talk with an animated .gif photograph in YouTube of Max Ehrmann 'reading' his 'poem' "The Desiderata" - but not yet interactively or conversationally (around slide #90) ...

Also, 
2020 - "Creating a Realistic Virtual Earth for Tourism and Tourism Studies with Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs: A Case Study" UC Berkeley Anthropology TSWG presentation (slides) - 12/18/20 Fr ~ https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SI2U7ssoy52met1OIwDwT5CbVLz98RuYRVE4OY5dj6A/edit?usp=sharing (new slides) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html - http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/MacLeod2020.htm ~ http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html
And here's the video of this Anthropology talk -
SGK MacLeod TSWG 12 18 2020 Creating a Realistic Virtual Earth Harbin for Tourism
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rjAgHoN1uE4JcuGPiVnvDibpA0Fd4StA/view
- where I explore further bringing Sunheart, my main Harbin informant and friend, who died last autumn, 'alive' again as an interactive conversational Avatar Bot (what stories he might tell about Harbin Hot Springs/Heart Consciousness Church (HCC), given the right datasets !) ... By adding the approximately 10 audio interviews I made TO emerging chat bots / avatar Bot algorithms and software ...
(In my talk, I skipped about 40 of the ~90 slides, due to time constraints, FYI - so I talked about, roughly, slides 1-48 and 89-93) ...

BAvatar agency ?Some related ideas in this 'label' in blog ...http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/avatar%20agency?m=0

What is agency, what is autonomy (re autonomous self-driving vehicles) - are all far-reaching philosophical questions, and newly regarding avatar bots, AI, and information technologies ... Getting into questions of consciousness (sentience, awareness, feeling, subjectivity) too - how can we code for something that is impossible so far to explain how it works, in the brain and in the bodymind? 
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/agency/


CIf Second Life avatars in a group build-able 3D virtual world which is cartoon-esque, but stimulating imaginatively re coding, could be coded for agency, or consciousness, in conjunction with you operating your avatar and I operating my 'Aphilo' avatar eg - "Aphilo Scott MacLeod The Making of Virtual Harbin"https://youtu.be/3nhvcHw54GE ... 
(Peter Bothe, above, in Bremen, is spending some time in SL these days)
What would this involve? Second Life is a bit of a graveyard these days, in my experience, and static coding-wise, and not extensible ... But Samsung Neons into Google Street View with a #filmto3D App at cell and atomic levels too??? ... And into a WUaS Operating System as Kernel ... For STEM and ethnographic/social sciences' field sites, and as classrooms, - and for a Film to 3D App?

DSeeking right NOW, for example, to add my interviews with Sunheart into developing Sunheart avatar Bot chat bots ... (Stanford Philosopher Richard Rorty interviews and videos too) ... but am in 'waiting in the Light' friendly-wise mode, since I haven't come upon, hacking-wise, open source Samsung Neon aka 'artificial humans' software into Google Street View with time slider and TensorFlow artificial intelligence environment with which to explore this further.

EHappy Independence Day from the USA 

Seeking to get out the WUaS Minutes for 6/19/21 Monthly Business Meeting today, July 4th ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/06/yellow-billed-stork.html?m=0 - all from a small smartphone for the first time :)
Nice to have met in the Bay Area Stammtisch (Peter's language too) in a Google Meet video conference from Cuttyhunk Island Massachusetts last week, on a smartphone from this end too; am back to a laptop computer this week :)

Dear Fritz, Stammtischler, All, 

Here's the video from today's Bay Area Stammtisch - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mavHIoDRU-oIQWEWCNEEsTj0QH8pRu5A/view (which is still processing) - and it's a generative conversation!

2Could WUaS create a course or share resources that could be used to instruct for example 10 German post docs in how to teach a flourishing SEMINAR newly, and, for example, to 100 German undergraduates and PhD students, and so they could begin teaching in this way to CC-4 MIT OCW courses - https://ocw.mit.edu/ AND - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - starting in January 2022, and here in these WUaS wiki subjects in particular -  
Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning -

Assessment_and_Grading_at_WUaS_as_Part_of_Conversation_in_Learning - 
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Assessment_and_Grading_at_WUaS_as_Part_of_Conversation_in_Learning ??? 
(And Fritz and I began our Bay Area Stammtisch conversation today talking about emotional intelligence and grading, which WUaS hopes to facilitate a conversation about in this wiki subject, and eventually in 200 countries and in their main languages). 


3A good course platform for both asynchronous seminar, and virtual reality with avatar bots - 
Is this JuryX, HarvardX, edX course from Charlie Nesson a helpful course platform approach, and for teaching the seminar method, even in conjunction with avatar bots, in some of the VR simulations - 
https://www.edx.org/course/juryx-deliberations-for-social-change ?


4And here's a little information about edX being acquired by 2U, and Harvard and MIT getting $800 million dollars for edX - 
As
@edXOnline
 looks to its next phase of growth and impact, joining forces with
@2UInc
 marks a major milestone in our evolution. https://press.edx.org/2u-inc.-and-edx-to-join-together-in-industry-redefining-combination

https://twitter.com/agarwaledu/status/1409840804957409285?s=20

"2U to acquire substantially all edX assets, including edX brand, website, and marketplace"

"edX offers over 3,000 online programs, including a substantial majority of courses with a free/audit track, Masters and doctorate degrees, Professional Certificates, and MicroBachelors® programs and MicroMasters® programs." 

 ... with more here including a letter from the President of MIT - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/06/piping-plover-san-francisco-5-yrs-ago.html ... 

There will be no Bay Area Stammtisch that I'll facilitate on 7/17/21, since I'll be traveling (but would you like to facilitate a Bay Area Stammtisch, Fritz, Simone, Peter or anyone)? The next Bay Area Stammtisch will meet on July 24, 2021 - meet.google.com/pwa-jymy-ipk

But 'virtual Scotland' in music as 'virtual my home' is neither here nor there :) ... Yet building perhaps a virtual Scotland World  University & School ... 

Hi Ma, Sandy, All, 
Warm greetings from Cuttyhunk. How are you? And how is your summer going? Lovely here on this rocky green land in the ocean, which is kind of 'my home' ... Listening to the beautiful singing voice of Jean Redpath on her "Leaving the Land" album ... here's the lead song ....https://youtu.be/1p-h-ieycIQDo you know it? And here's Stuart Liddell playing the rune tune 'My Home' - https://youtu.be/ZuvMePr82y8 Did you ever play this beautiful air on the practice chanter, or sing it? 
But 'virtual Scotland' in music as 'virtual my home' is neither here nor there :) ... Yet building perhaps a virtual Scotland World  University & School - in the building process - could be ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scotland ... And 'have a wee teach' :) by adding something you find creatively instructive  (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects)
Along with all the other WUaS universities, wiki schools, and realistic virtual Earth and Harbin and Scotland too ... ...making them 'real,' and virtually, and SOCIAL - is an engaging and creative process ...
Just looked again at virtual Harbin Hot Springs in Street View to see what developments have occurred since last I checked ...
~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook  ~
Would gladly head into my bathtub in a rocking excellent virtual Harbin, but Harbin might also have to help create this with Google ...
Virtual Scotland too ... In Street View ... Has Google already developed financial arrangements with Scotland for Google Maps' traffic info and even for other related IT infrastructure services (including possibly police but re-written due to IT - AND databases of license plates with machine learning and names even?) Who knows, but perhaps WUaS can collaborate with Scotland Google  for students who are 'driving' in their studies, toward free degrees :)
Ongoing seeking of partner, friend and someone to connect with HERE ... And to begin family  ... Traveling mode on east coast could open possibilities, but if I could possibly meet someone here on Cuttyhunk (or in Pgh thru even Sue Davis Claus, or Stephen Epple, or Ken Thompson MD there) my living on west coast could come to a close ... or perhaps she could move out west ...
What are you up to this week and today? How are you doing? 
Fond regards, Scott

Arctostaphylos tomentosa: Cuttyhunk sailing

Good to hear from you, Ma!
Seeking to head sailing today around midday. Appreciating you and your thinking re connecting via sailing at the Cuttyhunk Yacht Club and by volunteering. Will wait for an invitation from Charmagne or similar. 
How to connect with a wife to beGIN to start my own family, - with whom to go sailing ... And here on Cuttyhunk ? A 30 yo Sally Burry L'Anson here on Cuttyhunk ??? Easier written  than found. (I think I'd navigate well my own issues with Dad's angry raging behavior in our family, potentially having influenced me to stay away from connecting with a life partner up to now, when I meet her per your with connecting naturally ... Seeking a wonderful friend re natural connecting and 'evolution'). Could more likely meeting such a friend on the east coast, on Cuttyhunk even, than in California. Continuing to circulate to connect with friend for having a family eventually (but keeping my cards close to chest too per you, yet also using language per George Alexander MD in my seeking not to be a Dodo 🦤 and not go extinct). The prospect of aging reversal genetic drug therapies post coronavirus pandemic may allow more time in the seeking to meet and connect for giving birth together to kids. Desiderata's love 'is as perennial as the grass' - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata... - is helpful too.
Heading sailing today midday ... ! 
Love,Scott
Glad I got the 'paperwork' sent out to everyone yesterday finally from small mobile phone screen re the Minutes for World Univ & Sch for 6/19/21 posted on July 4, 2021 - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/202... ~
'internet work' of the web, is like 'paper work' of the industrial revolutions' modernity with widespread public education - now free universal wiki MIT OCW education newly! :) ... On with 'internetity' ... (word I coined for this in a paper in 2000 :) ... Which 'Gazing at the Box' paper paper you'll find here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/202... - with pretty arctostaphylos flower pictures, in the internet label in blog - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/sea... ...
Glad to be on Cuttyhunk :)

Hi Ma, Pin, Sandy, Tym,
Greetings from the West End ponds of Cuttyhunk near the Gosnold Monument, where I got mobile phone wifi again, after losing it on the inner road to the West End ... It's windy, ocean waves are breaking, and there's a gray mist dome creating an enclosed almost completely natural world with only the monument and one house visible, the rest being green Cuttyhunk of the west end and great gray ocean and sky, multicolored stone cobbles on the beach ...
https://photos.app.goo.gl/iNJuw5oDz35TTvXz8 
Beautiful walking here, and I wish I could share it with you in a realistic virtual earth for walking and traveling at some point, in a digital mask -

Glad I mentioned Ma something about Patrick Driscoll possibly lying yesterday about Jemma going to Holderness school on the phone with you ... (The possibility of unethical behavior - not aggressive enough" was a phrase Alastair used yesterday, a sentiment U/I've heard before from him - again raises questions for me about possible unethical actions by the C's ... Could they be 'framing' oriented to achieve goals, caught up in a tangle of their own past unethical actions?)  

Hoping to continue to generate ethical actions into the future ... With the law in mind and potentially non harming, Quaker, Unitarian, Yogic and other related ethical values in mind:)

I included Charmagne Gahan, CYC commodore, in that Avalon house Bluegrass concert invitation email ... Maybe I'll see her tomorrow Wednesday at the concert ... And ask about volunteering at the Yacht Club

Love, Scott

PS

Some brainstorms about Avatar Bot Machine Learning MDs experiments at WUaS and re a virtual Cuttyhunk hospital (since it could possibly dovetail with an on the ground physician here even - for Tweaking ... And possibly informimg selections of physicians :)
