Hibiscus rosa-sinensis: Second bagpiping lesson with PM Stuart Liddell in Scotland, W June 2, 2021

Dear Stuart sir, 
Thank you so so much again. Here's the video recording if that might be of interest to you - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LnJ2fSqpAzTs7LlqLRi9QEhiGdq3ibjK/view (which may still be processing) - with your wisdom. 
You share a lot of wisdom in your teaching ... and 'It's a long road to the top' you just said (wisely - and per your "The Ascension of Inveraray & District Pipe Band - 2004-2013" - https://youtu.be/wbikiMAjhDM) - so Congratulations! - ... and you're the best piper in the world, and I appreciate your cordiality too ... And I'm also learning about your Scottish-ness - re being of service thinking, which is wonderful, and I'd like to reciprocate somehow in this too. How might I be of service to you? 

Thanks for inquiring about riffing ... (and please keep the inquiring about any piping explorations that I kind of experiment with and put in writing idea-wise that interest you) ... Am curious further where you'd head with riffing, improvising, playing with some 'happening' rock and roll, jamming ... and more (all with the nine notes) ... 
Here are the Allman Bros from 1973 - re AC/DC (and Gordon Duncan) too ... 
"The Allman Brothers Band Featuring Jerry Garcia ‎– Live at the Cow Palace, 1973"
https://youtu.be/DNAmXz8kc6I

Might you riff - or improvise in 9 notes - with these, and the tunes preceding and following - and how further, almost as if one of the Allman Bros. band, and taking leads and solos sometimes esp:)? 2-9 Hideaway/You Upset Me 10:073-1 Bo Diddley/Mountain Jam 27:11

Maybe next lesson, can I share with you where I went with this a few weeks ago? (Am seeking for when we might explore this in real, real time together over the internet ... )
And here's PM Donald MacLeod teaching The Little Spree
https://youtu.be/Dp9xZ3CfLzA

What do you think of his teaching of the third line of the Urlar - or how would you teach it differently? - and what do you think of his teaching of the Crunluath Fosgailte in this piece ? (I'll learn further from how you taught it too).
Am hoping to apply what I learned from you teaching "The Cameronian Rant" (strathspey) today ... to learning it anew or further ... and for if and when I record the second version of my album, and for all the Strathspeys on it (of which there are 5 - https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/ ) - so thank you for in a sense answering my question about one of my "Honey in the Bag" tunes after I played it for you especially! 
Is 108-120 bpm a good tempo for strathspeys (for practicing with a metronome) ... and also per all these tempo suggestions from Bruce Wright here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/western-honey-bee-re-my-upcoming-honey.html ?
Thank you, sir! Appreciating your inspiration too especially. Appreciating the conversation and sociality of the lesson process (even regarding your extraordinary ability as a solo piper, and my learning in some ways to be further a solo Scottish Small Piper). Thank you, Stuart.
Sincerely yours, Scott

Thanks, Simone! Thoughts about making a digital field site, and then practicing participant observation there? I have in mind Tom Boellstorff's "Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human" (Princeton Univ Press, 2008) where he spends about 2 years on virtual islands in SL as anthropologist, some of which he helps to build, and from this participant observation then writes a far-reaching book. And, coming into conversation with Boellstorff, I also have in mind my "Naked Harbin Ethnography : Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality and Virtual Harbin" (Academic Press at World Univ & Sch, 2016) in which I also develop a new social science method I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - http://www.scottmacleod.com/research-group.html - and in which I seek to facilitate all of us further building our field sites in a realistic virtual earth (think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow AI, Translate, and with realistic avatar bots, aka artificial humans, and even for online medicine and online teaching hospitals for avatar bot electronic medical records, regarding realism, - and also even for actual-virtual tele-robotics surgery).

How can you approach the field digitally?Post date31 May 2021Smartphone. Photo by Ulf Neumann.Reflections on using social media profiles in ethnographic research

by Simone Pfeifer

As contact restrictions tightened last year with the developing pandemic, ever more colleagues began asking me for advice on ‘how to do digital ethnography’, knowing that I had been doing it since long before the virus transformed life as we knew it. Their immediate concern was ‘how to enter their field digitally’ to transform their ‘conventional’ ethnographies into digital ones. Unable to continue their ethnographic research as planned, they started looking for alternative ways to (re)enter their fields from a distance, for example, by interacting via social media platforms or messaging services. How to engage with people digitally, participate in, and immerse oneself in digital settings, has been at the center of recent debates, but the significance of these questions extends far beyond the current pandemic situation, as I aim to demonstrate with the following reflections on my own practices of using ethnographic research profiles in three different research contexts.

Remote, digital, or hybrid ethnography?

In conversations with my colleagues, ‘the digital’ was usually used synonymously with ‘remote’ (Walton, 2018) or exclusively ‘online’ ethnography, overlooking understandings of digital ethnography that also encompass ‘offline’ engagement with people and their media practices (Pink et al., 2016), which have also been termed ‘hybrid ethnography’ (Przybylski, 2020). These approaches vary in degree and nuance in how they transfer the ethnographic tradition of long-term fieldwork and participant observation to online settings, and in the extent to which ‘offline’ everyday life is part of the research. In a recent talk on digital ethnography, Annette Markham (2021) reflects on her research and asks, among other things, what we can gain from participation online that we would not otherwise be able to access. Her distinction of different degrees of participation in social media networks is what I want to focus on in this blog post – set in relation to platform dynamics and research profiles.

Various approaches to observation and participation may be taken in digital contexts: from ‘lurking’ to observe everyday routines to more active and collaborative participation that seeks to better understand media practices and the social relevance of skills in everyday digital encounters. Often, reports only briefly mention how ethnographers initially entered their digital fields, what kinds of self-identifying profiles they used when they started conducting their research, and how those profiles may have evolved and gained access to different kinds of practices over time. The most upfront discussion on configuring social media accounts for research that I have encountered to date is Liz Przybylski’s (2020: 59) guide to hybrid ethnography in which she reflects on building a network, posting, and interacting with social media profiles. It is exactly these kinds of reflections on participation and positionality that I see as closely related to and a prerequisite for the methodological framework of collaborative ethnography that Monika Palmberger and Philipp Budka outline in their opening post of this blog series. As we transfer our methods of participant observation to digital contexts, we need to reflect intensively on our own digital positionality and how we use profiles to engage with people and invite them to critically respond to us.

Case 1
Personal research profiles on Facebook

Between 2011 and 2014, I conducted a multi-sited ethnographic study in Berlin, Dakar, and online for my PhD research on the media practices and transnational social relationships of Senegalese (Pfeifer, 2019). I used my personal Facebook account that I had created in 2007. Initially, I only accepted Facebook friendship requests from people from my research field who I knew personally, with whom I had already discussed my research. As I began feeling uncomfortable denying friendship requests, I started accepting them from ‘friends of friends’. Over the course of my fieldwork, the ways I presented myself and my practices of engaging on Facebook evolved in multiple ways. The respective stage of my research and the locations and positionalities from which I was accessing Facebook at any particular time shaped the kinds of profile and background images, fieldwork-related photographic albums, and comments, tags, and likes I chose to post and upload. I carefully created subgroups for research-related friends and more private contacts so that I could address them separately. I made some of my posts and profile content accessible only to my research contacts, but left all my posts relating to other parts of my life visible for everyone. The settings offered by Facebook, as well as discussions on privacy in German-speaking public discourse, influenced my decision to be selective in what I was posting from personal or professional parts of my life.

Particularly when posts included photographs of myself that I sometimes felt obliged to present as a form of participation or were posted by Facebook friends, I feared they could be seen as clichéd assertions that I, the White German academic, ‘was there’, immersing myself and participating. As my fieldwork progressed, I became familiar with the practices of my interlocutors in their various contexts on Facebook; analogous to what John Postill and Sarah Pink (2012: 129) describe as adapting to particular communication strategies and conventions to maintain relations via Twitter. For me, this meant learning how to appropriately tag persons, like or comment on images, and when and how to respond to private messages. My practices were not only informed by participant observation online but also by my conversations and observations during ‘offline’ fieldwork. I often discussed images and comments and their incorporation into Facebook timelines in more in-depth interviews (Pfeifer, 2017). Since completing that research project, my Facebook profile has remained a crucial way for me to stay in touch with some of my interlocutors from the various fields, but has also evolved further to meet current research and professional networking purposes.

Case 2
Research-only profiles on Telegram

Together with my colleague Larissa-Diana Fuhrmann, I developed a very different approach to entering digital fields for our tandem research project investigating the online appropriation and circulation of audio-visual material produced by the so-called Islamic State (IS) and related groups as part of their religio-political agenda (see Fuhrmann & Pfeifer, 2020 for a discussion on ethical challenges). Due to the politicized and securitized nature of the field in the German context, especially given the institutional positioning of our research within a civil security funding framework, we decided to set up individual research-only profiles on Telegram and various social media platforms that groups like IS were using to circulate material at the time. These profiles were intended to protect our own safety as researchers, and also to enable us to separate our private and other professional networks from this particular field. We used dedicated smartphones for the same reason. Striving to be as transparent as possible, we consistently included our real names, occupations, and affiliation with the University of Mainz in our research profiles and when approaching persons online. Following some awkward conversations, I later removed my full last name from my personal research profile, and also changed my profile image from my portrait to a generic image. This served to protect my own privacy and security, and is common practice on Telegram, where users often adopt aliases to avoid identification by security institutions.

During the initial phase of our fieldwork, we generally engaged with interlocutors online, mainly on Telegram, through our research profiles. We began by introducing our research interests and conversing about particular posts or political incidents. Many were reluctant to chat with us, as discourses about spies were widespread among such groups, and we often encountered suspicions that we could be spies. This suspicion was not unjustified in a field that journalists and many other researchers (sometimes from security agencies) often tried to infiltrate by using undercover identities.

Most of the channels and groups that we joined as members were publicly advertised and could easily be accessed by simply clicking ‘join group’. During the course of our research, however, many Telegram channels changed their privacy and access settings as securitization and politicized discourses became increasingly charged in the German-speaking context. This meant that we could only access such groups and channels if we had previously been part of them or if they continued to accept our research profiles. In contrast to my active participation described above on Facebook, our approach was more observational, not least because certain forms of participation, like sharing certain images or videos, contravened platform standards, were illegal, or even unconstitutional. It was challenging and sometimes simply not possible to ask all group members whether they were willing to take part in our research and allow us to archive their contributions. Private conversations in German, English, and occasionally Arabic via messenger services were sometimes the only way we could obtain consent, and were often difficult to manage.

Case 3
Topic-centered and group-based research profiles on Instagram

The topic-centered research profile ‘Hashtag Islam’ on Instagram is part of an ongoing team ethnography of Muslim everyday life and social media practices in Germany. Unlike the two aforementioned cases, which concern the use of individual personal and researcher profiles, the shared account is managed by the four researchers Muna Ahmad, Larissa-Diana Fuhrmann, Maike Wiechert, and myself. In our weekly meetings we discuss and collaboratively write posts, and make decisions on all concerns related to the Instagram profile, through which we also each conduct our own related individual ethnographic research projects. Beneito-Montagut et al. (2017: 676) advocate using personal research profiles when doing digital ethnography in teams in order to maximize symmetry and reciprocity in exchanges. In our group, however, we chose to adopt collaborative writing and posting routines as they not only allow for more flexible pooling of resources but also open up cooperative ways to produce ethnographic knowledge.

In an initial phase, we identified and followed key actors in our field: individual and group profiles, hashtags, and topics on Instagram related to Muslim everyday life. By mentioning other public accounts in our weekly themed posts, we built a growing network of ‘followers’. Additionally, we made use of the platform’s visual architecture and its different ways of using hashtags. In an iterative process, we established our own visual style of posts, which aligned with the conventions of the field we entered. As Instagram is optimized for sharing one’s own audio-visual material rather than that of other accounts, and we were aware that many users are concerned about consent, we often addressed key actors via direct messages to ask if we could use their visual material. Furthermore, we introduced a regular series of posts recommending books and podcasts, and another series of anthropological statements that critically engage with terms that are central to our work or that we have encountered in our research.

Besides posts, Instagram’s ‘story’ function has proved very useful. Stories, which are visible for 24 hours, enable us to share content posted by other profiles. We usually use stories to publicize our new posts or to highlight thematically-related posts by other accounts. By curating other profiles’ content in themed stories, we create short narratives and also use stickers, gifs, short questions, and polls to encourage engagement with the stories. Additionally, ‘story highlights’ make selected stories permanently visible. Information about the project and our work is accessible in the profile’s biographical information. In response to questions received in private messages concerning our background as researchers, we inserted an ‘about’ section in the story highlights, which introduces the four team members with their individual research foci. With each of us speaking from very different positions, e. g. in terms of research, it is sometimes difficult to find the right tone or a common voice while at the same time making our different standpoints clear as we post on Instagram.

In addition to our collaborative work, the Instagram profile serves as a platform from which to conduct our individual research projects, for example, Maike Wiechert’s MA dissertation on commemoration practices in remembrance of the nine people murdered in a racist attack in Hanau on February 19, 2020, or my own research on gender-specific and affective dimensions of the appropriation of Islamic videos and images on social media, which also includes ‘offline’ fieldwork in female spaces in German mosques. These individual projects not only used the collective profile to connect with private accounts in direct messages; we also invited persons that we had met in different ‘offline’ spaces to follow the profile in order to discuss certain themes in more depth. The comments – some critical ­— that we receive in relation to our profile on Instagram encourage us to reflect further on our digital engagements, how we present ourselves, and how we curate the themes and styles of our profile.

To conclude: Multifaceted research profiles

Based upon my experiences, I propose utilizing research profiles as processual and flexible devices that can inspire us to reflect upon the multifaceted identities and positionalities that shape the relationships we forge in ethnographic research. In the three cases briefly discussed above, different strategies were adopted in order to explore the respective platforms and develop context-specific skills – to engage, participate, and immerse oneself into specific settings, just as is required when navigating ‘offline’ fields. Each research case brought its own personal, professional, methodological, and ethical challenges.

With careful reflection when setting up digital profiles and shaping how they evolve over time, researchers can make themselves visible (to an appropriate degree) and accountable as participant observers, rather than ‘lurking’ or standing by. This is essential if we are to participate, relate to, and collaborate in sensitive ways with the people we encounter in different online research settings. Carefully considering the implications of research profiles when configuring them not only enables research processes to be made more transparent and accountable, but is a prerequisite if we are to participate in digital contexts in ethical ways.

Thanks, Simone! Thoughts about making a digital field site, and then practicing participant observation there? I have in mind Tom Boellstorff’s “Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human” (Princeton Univ Press, 2008) where he spends about 2 years on virtual islands in SL as anthropologist, some of which he helps to build, and from this participant observation then writes a far-reaching book. And, coming into conversation with Boellstorff, I also have in mind my “Naked Harbin Ethnography : Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality and Virtual Harbin” (Academic Press at World Univ & Sch, 2016) in which I also develop a new social science method I’m calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy – http://www.scottmacleod.com/research-group.html – and in which I seek to facilitate all of us further building our field sites in a realistic virtual earth (think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow AI, Translate, and with realistic avatar bots, aka artificial humans, and even for online medicine and online teaching hospitals for avatar bot electronic medical records, regarding realism, – and also even for actual-virtual tele-robotics surgery). Thank you for writing this blog post.

World Univ & Sch is seeking to facilitate all of this also as STEM field sites, and classrooms - and in online teaching hospitals (in our planned online Medical Schools in ~ 200 countries' main languages) - where anyone could wiki-add resources, such as photos or videos, or code to TensorFlow AI in a process I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy, like ethnography (an interpretative practice, wiki which allows for quick curation, and group-buildable virtual worlds, like Second Life, but realistic, not cartoon-esque - and in the Google Cloud too)!

Dear Christian and Joakim, (Maggie and John),
Very nice to meet you this morning (SF Bay Area, Pacific Time). Here are the emails I shared with John and Maggie regarding a single Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital Realistic Virtual Universe for everything, and much more. See you tomorrow.
World Univ & Sch is somewhat #ActualVirtual, #PhysicalDigital centric - https://twitter.com/hashtag/ActualVirtual?src=hashtag_click - for STEM research sites, and as classrooms, and as a ginormous data project at street view, cellular and atomic/molecular levels in one realistic virtual cosmos emerges. 
Best, ScottPSBrainstorming-wise further, here is the beginning of Sweden World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sweden - planned in the Swedish language with free-to-students' WUaS CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare courses and degrees in Swedish too .
WUaS Nation_States' Universities - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - planned in all ~200 countries (per Olympics) as major online universities, and in these countries' main or official languages 
Languages, regarding wiki schools in these, - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - planned in all 7,139 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning
Wiki Subjects or 'schools' - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - both academic, and open or creative, for open teaching and learning, again planned in Swedish too; check out some of the CC-4 MIT OCW courses on the Aerospace_Engineering wiki subject, for example - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Aerospace_Engineering - which will eventually be for credit toward free degrees, - and to see how World Univ & Sch works in a sense.

Cuttyhunk island, Massachusetts ~ new proposed windmill project ~ and its past windmill projects, since the 1970s

Hi Tim, and All,

Thanks so much for your Windmills near Cuttyhunk reply just now in LinkedIn - 
Hi Scott-
 
I won't pretend to know about all the particulars, but the site maps I see put the project well off our shores (the other side of the Vineyard, mostly). I can't think of any impact it would really have on any of the islands, other than cosmetic. As a species, we are not in a position to be turning down viable clean energy projects these days. We have the wind for it. If the argument is that there will be windmills on our distant horizon, I am sorry to say, that seems a very NIMBYish position for which I don't have a lot of tolerance (remember the thing was shelved for a while because the hoity-toities on the other islands couldn't bear the slightest marring of their precious views). Obviously there could be aspects I'm not considering, and I hope smarter people than I will consider all aspects, but I am strongly in favor from what I know now.
 
Best to you,
 
-TTS


. . . and in reply to my LinkedIn message to you from May 17 - 
Hi Tim, Nice to hear from you. What do you think about this newest windmill proposal in the Vineyard Sound - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/patagonian-cypress-fitzroya-pulling_12.html ? Cheers, Scott (See you in July?:)


One additional question comes to mind, and since the prevailing winds on Cuttyhunk are from the South West: will Cuttyhunk be directly downwind of a possible (deafening in a strong wind) windmill factory machinery noise for the next few decades until quieter newer turbines can come along and replace these? How could Cuttyhunk come to know this beforehand - and from engineers from the state of Massachusetts' Department of Environmental Protection, as well as possibly independent engineers - and possibly in the Cuttyhunk POND in particular? 
All the best, Scott

Chimpanzee: Scottish Small Piping thinking in conversation - & Thanks to PM Stuart Liddell in Argyll, Scotland! * What is beauty ? Beauty in Piping?

Dear Stuart, 

Thank you again for a very inspiring lesson. I've recently looked at your News' web page, didn't see any upcoming Topicals, so have taken the opportunity to book another lesson with you. Would Thursday June 3 at 5pm Scotland Time work for you?

I think it's Gordon Duncan and Stuart Liddell 'sounds' - bagpiping-wise - that I'm seeking to play anew on the Scottish small pipes. How to develop my piping (extraordinarily) with Duncan's energy and your musicality and expressiveness (and your extraordinary technique too)? And how best to chart out goals re these Guidelines again - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm - items 2 &3 (and even writing them in my daily Google calendar) - and with an hour or two of practicing daily, I wonder? (I have the impression that competitions and performance have helped you structure in a focused way your daily playing remarkably, and re such goals too; n'est-ce pas?)

Here's a related blog post from spring of 2020, before 'publishing' the first edition of "Honey in the Bag" SSP album - https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com: 

'Grey seal: Gordon Duncan and Stuart Liddell 'sounds' - bagpiping-wise? That is 'vision' . . . "Honey in the Bag" upcoming Scottish small pipes' album * * How to help people "purr" - like a cat (neurophysiology-wise, ie in your brain / bodymind) - with my "Honey in the Bag" album, is a sound I'm heading for :)' (from ... Tuesday, March 31, 2020)

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/03/grey-seal-gordon-duncan-and-stuart.html

In listening to my lesson from Th May 13, 2021 again - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xDeuJtcwVu8i0ubW2sgDfey3zm5WtAEX/view - I've taken some initial salient notes from this for me below. What do you think?

So with my Light Music playing, how to potentially rerecord my Honey in the Bag album newly afire with inspiration and generating great neural pleasure - bliss even - for listeners? And can I learn this from you? (Am revisiting recordings of lessons with Connor in part for this :)

And with my upcoming Piobaireachd album (as experiment too), which tunes to play, most beautiful and melodic and lyrical to my ear - and thus fun to develop (as mainly laments), I'm asking myself? Piobaireachd  is an acquired taste like single malt whiskey perhaps. (How best to listen to much Piobaireachd to find the beauties to my ear, like 'The Desperate Battle of the Birds' for me, I wonder? Thoughts?)

And here again is a favorite playing of mine of a favorite Piobaireachd composition - 

The Desperate Battle of the Birds

John D Burgess

https://youtu.be/Mmxp3btwXzs

(And coming back to an old abstract and theoretical question of mine - what makes a piping tune beautiful, structurally in a sense, described in words? (eg why are the tunes on my 'Honey in the Bag' album all lovely - and to my ear too)? And what is beauty in general, philosophically, and what is beauty in piping compositions AND playing - like yours (and possibly also for a wide swath of pipers' listening - or possibly regarding a certain group too of 'classic' or 'old favorite' tunes (here are some previous EXPLORATIONS of this thinking - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/monotropa-uniflora-piobaireachd.html)

Here below are Notes from the first part of the lesson video recording which 'spoke' to me in particular.

And thank you, Stuart!

Warm regards, Scott

 

Regarding creating Piobaireachd albums - 

4:40 I ask about learning further as favorite piece - 

The Desperate Battle of the Birds

Feedback about the album I made

5:10

In terms of structure, I do make it up as I go along, and in my 

... and the in the band ... 

5:20

It was really just achieving small goals as they approached us ... 

It's a good idea to have a structure ... everybody 

dramatic, lyrical

6:20

One of my favorites would be lament for the Laird of  

Lyrical

I appreciate you (Scott) signing up and 

9:12

ways of approaching a new tune ...

Do you fancy playing a little of The Desperate Battle of the Birds

10:35

The beauty of music is that these great pieces you can make your own, by little subtle differences, and how you feel and hear the music yourself, so it's nice to have guides from these great players  

But you know, you're trying to present music through your own feeling, again ... 

11:45 

living in a safe house

12:00

called the police a couple of times

I begin to play The Desperate Battle of the Birds

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimpanzee

Behaviour[edit]

Recent studies have suggested that human observers influence chimpanzee behaviour. One suggestion is that drones, camera traps and remote microphones should be used to record and monitor chimpanzees rather than direct observation.[75]

Group structure[edit] Group in Uganda

Chimpanzees live in communities that typically range from around 20 to more than 150 members, but spend most of their time travelling in small, temporary groups consisting of a few individuals, which may consist of any combination of age and sex classes. Both males and females sometimes travel alone.[52] This fission-fusion society may include groups of four types: all-male, adult females and offspring, both sexes, or one female and her offspring. These smaller groups emerge in a variety of types, for a variety of purposes. For example, an all-male troop may be organised to hunt for meat, while a group consisting of lactating females serves to act as a "nursery group" for the young.[76]

And in a related vein in an email to Sri Lanka World Univ & India World Univ (which Lydia also received) - 
Hi Sri Lanka World Univ & Sch,  India World Univ, Universitians, All, 
When might we all be able to buy things with our accumulating free 'Stanford Mine Pi' cryptocurrency on smartphones - and even by simply using a Google Pay or Apple ioS pay application? How much would we have to accumulate in each of our countries to buy a house, for example? And could we accumulate Pi currency faster beyond daily mining of it?
Spreading 'Stanford Mine Pi' - and getting central banks in most of 200 countries to legitimize it - could come to eliminate poverty worldwide pretty quickly, and especially if the poorest people had devices that could access Stanford Mine Pi. How to connect such "Stanford Mine Pi" with open wiki teaching and learning at WUaS - and in all 7,139 living languages? How to begin to reach out to all 7.8 billion people on the planet re - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and in all 7k languages, so they could come out of poverty, and wiki teach and learn with each other?
For your Sri Lankan friends and friends potentially in all the 200 countries in the world, here's the daily mineable free cryptocurrency, - Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency. Use this code - sgkmac - minepi.com/sgkmac

All the best, ScottWiki teach and learn openly here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - eventually in your languages (first via Wikidata in 300 languages I think) ...
Bis zum naechsten Samstag!
Alles Gute, Scott

Hi Ma, All, 

Heats been off for a week or two in a sense, after I passed the rolling radiator back to landlord, and got a stand up fan heater instead - which I use almost never. This is California in a basement so I can survive mostly under bed covers in May & through some of the summer I'm here too I think ... But it's cold all the time. And while I kept the rolling radiator on low throughout the winter, it meant their energy bill was higher than before (yet they benefited too from the rising warmth), and get the basement place was bearable. I pay a lot of money in rent ... So it's not a great deal or situation ... And it's time perhaps to start planning to get a house somewhere 🙂 per chance ... And could I come into a nice house from the state of California even? ... Moving from one 'safe house' to a new real 'SAFE HOUSE' that opened up newly for some unknown reason - perhaps in the SF Bay Area or even in another state. (Did my Scottish Small Piping student Taylor somehow move into a 'safe house' for a song in Georgia, after moving from SF I wonder? He and his wife also moved east to be near his wife's family, - and they just had their first baby too).

And how to seek & find an attractive great fit life partner wife to begin with too - to begin a family of three or so kids? 

.... and all regarding World Univ & Sch developments too. NO to Canyon (but maybe federal US authorities can do something about a Canyon 'cleanup' thanks to my whistle-blowing, just not for my living there, and wisely - thank you, Ma!). But how to plan the next step, and possibly not alone (and possibly with regard also to creating an Actual-Virtual Physical-Digital realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs field site too, for my next book published from text in the sidebar in Google Street View in many languages) - so with all of you? :) Since World University and School hasn't become operational yet in about 14 years, am quite impoverished to say the least. But how to start developing also some faculty housing for example? 

Warm regards, Scott

Hi Scott,

The weather is finally changing here in New York but this morning we were both working in sweaters.  We saw that you are going to Cuttyhunk this summer. We are planning to head up to New Hampshire in about month.  We will both be working from home until they call us back to the office.  Henry thinks he will be able to go back in September, but there will continue to be ample opportunity to work from home if he wants.  My job is remote anyway .  Come up to visit us in Randolph.  It is probably a 2 or 3 hour drive from Mass.  
We can do yoga on the lawn looking at the mountain!  Happy Memorial Day!
Victoria and Henry

Hi Victoria and Henry, 

Thank you! Sounds like fun! Glad the weather is changing for you! And if you might be able to fit it in, please come visit me on Cuttyhunk - a ferry leaves from the beautiful (downtown) whaling city of New Bedford, or a boat from nearby also beautiful Padanaram, MA - and I'm hoping to be there on and off for the month of July. (Yoga explorations in VT sound fun too ~  http://scottmacleod.com/yoga.htm).

Happy Memorial Day!

Scott

Hi Henry, Janie, All, 

NH! (There's a Randolph in VT, and another in MA too ... so many :) ... It would be nice to see you this summer in Randolph, Henry, and please come visit on Cuttyhunk too!
In talking with my mother yesterday evening about things genetic (see too email below), I mentioned this recent great Genetics' embryonic (in China too) conversation with Stanford Law Prof Hank Greely, and Stu McNish in Vancouver British Columbia - https://youtu.be/aHrZU0o6IIo

https://vancouversun.com/health/conversations-that-matter-the-science-and-ethics-of-crispr-people/wcm/1ba13675-5f3a-4007-9e2d-2f7c5670d0c2/

I'm on a podcast, "Conversations that Matter" with a fun, 23 minute discussion of "stuff" - mainly CRISPR People but not entirely. https://t.co/lPUmvJVk25

(Could Stuart McNish be related to the former General Secretary of Quaker Nobel Prize winning AMERICAN FRIENDS' SERVICE COMMITTEE Mary Ellen McNish?) 
(BUT TO WHAT DEGREE COULD THIS GREELY INTERVIEW ALSO BE A PARABLE IN PART, OF A SORT?)

Greely also mentions "renegades, or cowboys and rogues" (and not outlaws, criminals, and scofflaws) at the 20 minute mark - which cast of characters seems somehow apropos also for Canyon 94516 - somewhere else in interview he mentions safe gene editing (and not 'cleaning up' the genetics' industry in all ~200 countries, for ex.) ...  (Maybe just maybe Stanford Law is thinking, too, knowledgeably about Canyon 94516 ... ) ...Greely is amazingly brilliant and clear about genetic implications for humans here. 
How to find a safe HOUSE to live in too?

Re genetics' conversation with mother yesterday, re 'unconscious' too

Thanks Ma so much for talking yesterday.
You are wonderful ! Seemed to have touched base with your talking 'unconscious' mind in a new way - and about things medical too. Seems to be a mother thing culturally in part to want their children to get vaccinated currently (even though it's not the law) - and perhaps a son thing here to seek for family members to be law-abiding, I think. 
We talked about SARS CoV2 by extension, and the recent Covid-19 pandemic genes, HIV, and Polio on the VIRUS side of life, and about Tuberculosis (TB) and Diptheria-Tetanus-Pertussis (DPT) on the BACTERIA side of life ... about Dad too as Secretary of Health in Pennsylvania in 1979 working with the Amish regarding polio vaccines to eradicate polio in the state of PA.
MD psychiatry therapist for my offspring when they become teens - when psychotherapy could work in their teens (possibly pre skepticism) - & to prepare them for life to come in smart ways as adults? Could be good to somehow meet and marry a 25-28 year old attractive (radiantly warm earth mother kind of woman?) MD ! ... Could THUS potentially marry great caring smart ethics as a consequence. :)
Glad to have received an invitation from Henry and Victoria to visit them in Randolph NH WHEN I'm back east! :) And see you soon. 
More about exploring the unconscious mind below. Appreciating my daily (yoga) meditation - beneficial inner bodymind releasing action, relaxation response-wise - with regards to the unconscious mind too. :)
Love, Scott

PPPS Single cryptocurrency with UBI experiments for 7.8 billion people to end poverty WITH wiki education for open teaching and learning in all 7139 known living languages ? ? ? Free money too ... Might this interest you?

Hi Sri Lanka World Univ & Sch,  India World Univ, Universitians, All, 
When might we all be able to buy things with our accumulating free 'Stanford Mine Pi' cryptocurrency on smartphones - and even by simply using a Google Pay or Apple ioS pay application? How much would we have to accumulate in each of our countries to buy a house, for example? And could we accumulate Pi currency faster beyond daily mining of it?
Spreading 'Stanford Mine Pi' - and getting central banks in most of 200 countries to legitimize it - could come to eliminate poverty worldwide pretty quickly, and especially if the poorest people had devices that could access Stanford Mine Pi. How to connect such "Stanford Mine Pi" with open wiki teaching and learning at WUaS - and in all 7,139 living languages? How to begin to reach out to all 7.8 billion people on the planet re - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and in all 7k languages, so they could come out of poverty, and wiki teach and learn with each other?
For your Sri Lankan friends and friends potentially in all the 200 countries in the world, here's the daily mineable free cryptocurrency, - Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency. Use this code - sgkmac - minepi.com/sgkmac
All the best, ScottWiki teach and learn openly here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - eventually in your languages (first via Wikidata in 300 languages I think) ...

The parable of the gene and Yoga?here, at bottom - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20...

Am wondering however, whether this might be part parable too - and regarding the Genetic Engineering Revolution, in which we're living into the 7th or 8th decade (since 1953 and the discovery of DNA)

searched - 'Lacan unconscious psychiatry'

The unconscious is structured like a language in the sense that it is a signifying process that involves coding and decoding, or ciphering and deciphering. ... Lacan defines the unconscious as the "discourse of the Other."

https://nosubject.com/Jacques_Lacan:The_Subject_of_the_Unconscious


Lacan defines the unconscious in terms of "impediment", "failure" and "splitting". The unconscious is precisely this gap or rupture in the symbolic chain. We can only know the unconscious through speech and language; therefore.

And the months and year of Covid-19 social quarantine turned into years, with the murderers and the offenders still on the loose, the state, federal and international law systems and enforcement unable to do anything - due to the entaNgled threAts of a culture of force ... The victims since at least the '60s numbering into the 100s and 1000s of Every crime imaginable, most heinous ... and the people just stayed in their homes, perpetrators on the loose, still doing their atrocities when the opportunity arose ... People had returned to a bestial state, emerging from evolutionary biology. 

The coronavirus pandemic, nothing to do with genetics to write of, kept the people in their homes, social psychology-wise (Stanford Zimbardo's prisoner and guard experiment extended), as the state and the corporations gained more power at the expense of the people.
And they're still in their homes because law enforcement and the law to support social justice failed, predators on the prowl, not able to be prevented from taking the next minor, the next victim, the next innocent. How to effectively stop  the illegal sex (and drug trades) from creating, social psychology wise women as victims +?
Psychiatry excellent effective on a mass scale could change the loss of freedom-effects effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, and maybe World University and School can help, 
... but it's 2031 and the people are still staying in their homes, due to the stay at home message from the state.
Keep thinking, Scott

Dear Ma, Ed, All, 

Psychiatry may greatly benefit c's tw, c's ng, h's cn ... and prevent them from harming others, and from harming many, if unable to do anything about past injustices or harms they may have perpetrated. What's happening to a focus on developing excellent highest quality MD psychiatry in this state of CA in this country the USA, - and in all 200 countries' main languages? World Univ & Sch can help ... 
Here is a brief thought about developing multi-identity psychiatry (and I have in a sense ethnic identity here, as well as long-term talk therapy by smart MDs) - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/patagonian-cypress-fitzroya-pulling_12.html ... and here's where I'd focus World Univ & Sch's initial thinking about developing WUaS psychiatry - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/psittacula-non-theist-quakers-psychiatry.html ... Not easy to get the aggressors to talk with MD psychiatrists I'm thinking ... but still perhaps good for MD psychiatrists to be thinking en masse about how to talk with the aggressors. (Am remembering psychiatrist Lacanian psychoanalyst George A Alexander MD saying in these regards a example from the psychiatrist Harry Stack Sullivan - after he was struck by a patient ... 'feel better now?' ... regarding the understanding and knowledge-empathy a psychiatrist can offer in practice, in this teaching example ... and George I think was a kind of master of the unconscious, and Jacques Lacan MD is a master of the 'unconscious' in the context of psychoanalytic thinking about the mind esp. ) If people are murdering others, and perpetrating all kinds of offenses, there probably is a better way ... and psychiatry could potentially help.

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@gmail.com>May 27, 2021, 2:18 PM (22 hours ago)to DavidDavid, thanks. 
Ed Smyth MD and friend may have more evidence. But I'm not sure he could share it with you, since he's now retiring from Kaiser Permanente - but could be a source for you in certain circumstances, I think (and possibly your uncle too). 
And I wonder if G (and W) should have been seeing MD psychiatrists (and for G not just a licensed family therapist) long ago - like since the 1970s (but such psychiatric resources aren't readily available in the SF Bay Area - per Ed too). Prevention of further violence (including against me) is a goal in making these inferences and replying to you. 

Thanks,Scott

Thanks, David,

Am seeking to stay safe by reaching out to all of you. N isn't well psychiatrically in my view, and in January I encouraged him twice in email (as a concerned colleague) to see a psychiatrist MD as I withdrew from ... 
Thanks, and hoping you're staying well too.

Hi David, All,
Thanks. Whistle-blowing about a number of situations in recent years, and regarding law breaking too - the SFQM, C, UCBLaw, S, (including calling the police regarding C, and still could about the FM, but am seeking too to protect the innocent) ... may have lead to protection of innocents and prevention of harm to victims in the future. Having included colleagues in this whistle-blowing has been a boon, and regarding a witnessing process. 
Am seeking to also develop an ethical track record in these areas in developing MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School (regarding the recent horrendous history with MIT, for example). 
Whistle-blowing, psychiatry and law enforcement I think are the best directions to head in regarding addressing ethical wrongdoing and illegal actions. World Univ & Sch may be able to help with online psychiatry and law schools. 
Thanks too, Ma, for your "no" to C, which is wise I think given it's 'bad' history of criminality.
Thanks for your concern, David, and hoping you're well. 
Thanks, Scott

Parable of the Coronavirus pandemic, without genetics, social quarantine year into 10 years 

Ma, All, 

Following up on this thread, and your "NO" to Canyon - and also with some thoughts about how psychiatry, (and even whistle-blowing and law enforcement) might help with related potentially wrong-doing ethically - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/javan-pond-heron.html. Have added some of the second half of this thread to this blog post today ...  
" ... Whistle-blowing, psychiatry and law enforcement I think are the best directions to head in regarding addressing ethical wrongdoing and illegal actions. World Univ & Sch may be able to help with online psychiatry and law schools."


And here's the little, hopefully somewhat humorous, 'parable' in some of these regards again -  
And the months and year of Covid-19 social quarantine turned into years, with the murderers and the offenders still on the loose, the state, federal and international law systems and enforcement unable to do anything - due to the entaNgled threAts of a culture of force ... The victims since at least the '60s numbering into the 100s and 1000s of Every crime imaginable, most heinous ... and the people just stayed in their homes, perpetrators on the loose, still doing their atrocities when the opportunity arose ... People had returned to a bestial state, emerging from evolutionary biology. 
The coronavirus pandemic, nothing to do with genetics to write of, kept the people in their homes, social psychology-wise (Stanford Zimbardo's prisoner and guard experiment extended), as the state and the corporations gained more power at the expense of the people.
And they're still in their homes because law enforcement and the law to support social justice failed, predators on the prowl, not able to be prevented from taking the next minor, the next victim, the next innocent. How to effectively stop  the illegal sex (and drug trades) from creating, social psychology-wise, women as victims +?
Psychiatry - excellent, effective - on a mass scale could change the loss of freedom-effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, and maybe World University and School can help, 
... but it's 2031 and the people are still staying in their homes, due to the stay at home message from the state.
Keep thinking, ScottPsychiatry - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry - 
World Univ & Sch's Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - planned in ~200 countries and in their main languages, with licensed (in all ~200 countries') talk therapy online ...

Following up further on: Getting one's mind around aging reversal genetically

Th May 27, 2021

Dear Ma, John, Joan, Sandy, Dick, Larry, All, 

Following up further on this "Getting one's mind around aging reversal genetically" thread, I put DNA atomic particles which potentially "GET YOUNGER" in QUOTES re ..."... track DNA particles as they potentially "GET YOUNGER" too - and per Transcription Factors, TFome:  aging forward & reversehttps://twitter.com/geochurch/status/1335318813320114178?s=20! :)" . . . here > http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/yosemite-valley-tunnel-view-getting.html  ... 
... because I couldn't get my mind FURTHER around the concept of atoms "getting younger." 
But if there's a relationship between "Transcription Factors, TFome:  aging forward & reverse" and atoms or DNA particles, these atoms would have to do something that relates to cells getting younger, but in PHYSICS, rather than BIOLOGY ... and we may be able to further generate #ActualVirtual, #PhysicalDigital interoperability between these fields, and even in something like #GoogleStreetView with time slider, Maps, Earth, #TensorFlow AI and esp. #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords. (This sounds like a great opportunity for particle physicists, in great numbers perhaps ...to come into communication with GENETICISTS and biologists!). WHY NOT IN A #REALISTIC VIRTUAL EARTH FOR GENETICS - AND STEM - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click ?
This may however also lead to an exploration about how best to MASTER biology, AND physics! . . .

SO FURTHER, how could one model biology, AND physics in virtual reality VR this in a single #Realistic virtual earth for CRISPR and Genetics ... at the atomic level, and the cellular level ... and in 3D ... as if their discrete units were represented digitally in Google Poly, a library of 3D objects (closing this June, but conceptually - and actually especially, regarding what comes after) ... and thus interactively & digitally for subsequent VR modeling of biology, genetics  ... and even aging reversal genetics & drug therapies? ... and with a #FilmTo3D Application (not yet written) ... at the street view, cellular and atomic levels ... (given all the amazing videography at the atomic level these days, for example)?
Mastering biology and physics - and in a single 3D virtual earth for everything - might even lead to further developments in aging reversal genetics and genetic drug therapies ... not easy, however, to get my mind yet around mastering biology and physics in 1 realistic virtual earth . .. because it's not yet completed (but thanks Google Earth!:)

Dear Ma, Dick, Jean, Sandy, All, 
Some thinking about aging reversal genetically - which is pretty wild stuff ... 
Am seeking to further get my mind (Larry too) around how aging reversal genetically would work:

6See, too, the 5/15/21 World Univ & Sch Minutes - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/araripe-manakin.html - where in Minute 9 I wonder too if George could become a 20 year old again ... 

Minute 9
How best to inspire young scientists to go into STEM fields, and regarding aging reversal (beyond longevity) genetic drug development questions, for example? See this George Church interview for one:

https://twitter.com/geochurch/status/1392899305485254657?s=20 - about STEM and much more, including aging reversal; Very inspiring for teenagers who are interested in science!

Could Harvard & MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church genetically engineer himself back to become a 20 year old again, eventually I wonder? 


7Could we live to beyond 122 years old, and with reversal of ailments especially, as well? How to conceive of such possible futures? Living to 1,243 years of age - add some zeros to this? Pretty wild stuff ... 

8Has the coronavirus pandemic of the past year majorly advanced the genetic engineering revolution (since DNA's discovery in 1953?)

Hi All, 

And a bit after emailing all of you, this Tweet from George Church appears (which I saw after it had been posted for 2 minutes). Am wondering how to make 'digital' or 'virtual'  - in one simulation of virtual reality (and part of a SINGLE realistic virtual earth for genetics, and even with plans for all 7.8 billion people's DNA in avatar bot electronic records, and with machine learning, so conceptually like Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow AI ... with avatar bots ... and at the PARTICLE, so probably atomic, level ... )


Particle detection and tracking with DNA
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2105.11949.pdf

https://twitter.com/geochurch/status/1397647119759052800?s=20


From the abstract -
"Since the sequences of base pairs in nucleic acid molecules can be precisely amplified
and measured using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the original spatial position of each broken strand inside
the detector can be reconstructed with nm precision."

This paper is all on the physical or actual side of science ... a remarkable opportunity to co-constitute virtually or digitally ... and track DNA particles as they potentially GET YOUNGER too - and per Transcription Factors, TFome:  aging forward & reverse
https://twitter.com/geochurch/status/1335318813320114178?s=20! :)
Further thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions?Thanks, George, for this Tweet :)

PPPSThanks to Jim for the BEAUTIFUL eclipse photo, and for Jim Spohrer1:55 PM (2 hours ago)to meYes, but they still require extra hardware mostly - see https://www.ibm.com/blogs/research/2018/03/microscopic-reality-ai-microscopes/

PPPSa - And here's one exploration from 2018 of microscopy from a smartphone - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/03/comfrey-hospital-in-smartphone-emerging.html - 
and, as I replied too to Jim - "Can we eventually add Apps to our smartphones that will allow us to do telescopy, create binoculars - all with photography - and related new functions (and even into a single realistic virtual earth into Google Poly, conceptually, and interactively, and for STEM field sites, 'classrooms,' and interactive learning too)?
I think there may be a few blog posts in these regards, but I will look further for only software telescopy and potentially from smartphones (without additional hardware!:)
and via - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/se... - where I hope we'll be able to contribute to this science in a realistic virtual earth ... and possibly even to edit our own genome (with more blog posts about this) - and to the age reversal age we'd like? :))

" . . . and will we be able to edit our own genomes from our smartphones - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click - backwards and forward ... "I'd like my cheeks to look 10 years younger," kind of thing, totally hypothetically since the proof of aging reversal genetically is so so early per George Church's 1 minute video above ...)" ... with this idea here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20... - :)

[NTF-talk] questions of thinking, what is to be human, human rights' ethics, and philosophy? 

NtFs, Bill, Friends, friends, Non-theist Friends, Non-theist Quakers, All, 
This message (below again) just came through (from worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com not worlduniversityandschool.org) - and am not sure about the reasons for the delay! 
Hoping regarding NtFriendly ethics - developing with regards to nontheist Friends' openings culturally in a sense - that law will have advanced over the past coronavirus pandemic year - at all 3 (US) levels of state, federal, and international law - and in some of all 200 countries and in their official languages even! 
Friendly 'conscientious objection' - ie creating this space in legal spheres too, and by standing on principles - saved some lives in the past!
Scott https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/conscientious%20objection



Bill, NtFs, Friends, NtQuakers, 
Thanks also for replying so quickly. Maybe a realistic virtual earth for visiting with avatar bots - yours and your sons - between VT and OR will emerge, improving upon video conferencing during this coronavirus pandemic, when no one is traveling that much. Am curious about checking out Dartmouth and Kendal Hannover in July after driving across the country ... didn't get back east last summer during the pandemic ... 
Some related traveling and web Tweets ... potentially to complement when we can visit family in person only occasionally :) ... https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForTraveling?src=hashtag_click ... and ... And am wondering if realistic Avatar Bots - https://twitter.com/hashtag/WUaSAvatarBots?src=hashtag_click - will come to supplant the smartphone and the laptop (with video conferencing!:)
