Dear Pew,

I just responded to your survey. I'm curious about the following too: 'Although World Univ & Sch hasn't hired any researchers or academic or other staff yet, in what ways could we develop a collaboration regarding - "How could World Univ & Sch develop Pew approaches to surveying and knowledge generation in each of all ~200 countries, and in their official and main languages?"'

(Would it be possible to add a link too to the Weekly Roundup? I'd like to be able to share it with others or add it to blog posts, etc. Thanks).

Thank you,

Scott MacLeod (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)

HI Pew, and Mimi,
Thank you for your response.
FYI, CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School seeks to create major online universities in all ~200 countries and in their official and main languages, and seeks too to facilitate knowledge about these countries with sound social science methodology - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Social_Science (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects).

Weekly Roundup

The latest findings from Pew Research Center · Subscribe ↗

If one early takeaway from the election is historic voter participation, another may be the continuing political polarization that has come to define the United States. The elected officials who take the oath of office in Washington in January will be representing two broad coalitions of voters who are deeply distrustful of one another and who fundamentally disagree over policies, plans and even the very problems that face the country today.

Americans’ prescription for the nation starts with neighborliness

Even before the historic challenges of 2020, Americans saw the building blocks of their society and political culture in deep distress. Yet amid the bleak assessments, there is some hope. Most Americans say public confidence in the federal government, the news media and their fellow citizens can be improved, with many urging changes in interpersonal behavior. Read more from Pew Research Center in RealClearPolitics.

Amid pandemic, the long decline of in-person voting on Election Day likely accelerated this year

In 1996, 89.5% of voters reported voting in person on Election Day. As recently as 2006, that share was 80.4%. But then the in-person Election Day portion of the vote began to skid, falling below 60% in each election cycle since 2014. The decline likely continued this year amid widespread early and absentee voting due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In past elections, U.S. trailed most developed countries in voter turnout

How does voter turnout in the United States compare with turnout in other countries? That depends very much on which country you’re looking at and which measuring stick you use.

Two-thirds of U.S. adults say they’ve seen their own news sources report facts meant to favor one side

Many Americans are concerned about the media reporting inaccurate or incomplete information. And that includes information reported by their own most-used news sources.

After surging in 2019, migrant apprehensions at U.S.-Mexico border fell sharply in fiscal 2020

How Catholics around the world see same-sex marriage, homosexuality

From our research

85%

The share of Americans who say Donald Trump and Joe Biden supporters cannot agree on basic facts about important issues facing the country.

Some notes:

Cynthia Jamison
so much is learned on the Board itself - as part of its culture

Charlotte Laurent-Ottomane :
focus on by-Laws and governance documents

commit to diversity

commit to Rooney rules
retirement in By-Laws and governance documents for board members

The “Rooney Rule” – named after Dan Rooney, former owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers & former chair of the NFL's diversity committee – started as an NFL policy that requires teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior operation jobs

- how interesting ... in what ways would it be possible to put these services onto a smartphone in an App ... and out of Stanford Medicine too, and with a related business model? :)

Hi Tym,
How are you? I hope this finds you well, hail and hearty!

Are you getting out hiking these days, and in these ongoing times of covid-19 quarantine? Do you think we'll be hiking in 100 years from now, or heading to Harbin even together, actually or virtually?
Here's the Harvard MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church brief video interview about this - https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk - and further, and newly, here he mentions being involved in 2 of the 3 large biotech firms in Cambridge, and much, much more, in an interesting conversation - George Church - The Origins Podcast with Lawrence Krauss--FULL VIDEO
https://youtu.be/vitHZPkoMSw

What are you up to today and these days? Here's my list for the rest of the day and ahead:
write book - "Light, Float, Sit, Watsu ~ Virtually: Bodymind Electricity Sings to Me at Harbin Hot Springs & Other Traveling Poems"
record for Scottish Small Pipes' album - "Honey in the Bag"
write UC Berkeley Tourism Studies' talk for 12/18/20 -
"Creating a realistic virtual earth for tourism and tourism studies with actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs: A Case Study"

update web site - scottmacleod.com (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/11/crown-flower.html)
But I may head hiking in the light as well, Tym! Are you hiking by any chance today?
What music are you listening to much these days? (I return to the Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers a fair amount:)
I have a sofa bed in my living room here if you ever need a place to stay and we can start traveling with covid19.
And could N... be on the horizon for connecting further? :) (She followed me on Twitter a few weeks ago).
Fond regards, Scott

PSJust shared this earlier with my Cuttyhunk friend, David Thurston:
Nice to talk on Friday. What are you up to today? Are you heading out to hike and explore again ?
In my 'safe house,' having whistle-blown yet again, this time about... (where I lived for 13 years), by calling the Moraga police (having whistle-blown about the SF Quaker Meeting, about Stanford, about UC Berkeley, Reed College, and other institutions - am a regular old whistle-blower about wrong-doing:), and am glad too to have the option for this safe house (thanks somehow to Pi and brother Partha M, both in the federal govt?, and an extended Indian network even???). (Canyon and Pacific Yearly Meeting Quakers re the illegal sex industry even??? ... and potentially with minors, tragically ...??? ... evidence aggregating). There can be risks in whistle-blowing - and when the net begins to close around long time illegal sex-rings hypothetically (in SF Bay Area with decades' long crazinesses in all likelihood) - which in my experience ameliorate with time and distance, but which emergent safety is not guaranteed. And is some of this recently a consequence of the ineffectual despot wannabe's psychology who was just voted out of office? C'est possible!
Am quite glad Biden and Kamala Harris are settling into being President and VP elect and that Joe Biden is so experienced as VP for 8 years with Barack Obama, for example. Glad too Kamala is a SF prosecutor too, and from Oakland (which grew Jimi Hendrix too! :)
And whither World University and School in all of this? Am glad we're now partnering with edX with their 3000 plus courses! ...

What would a Nontheist Friends' Journal entail?

WUaS - World University and School <worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com>

7:41 PM (2 hours ago)

to nontheist-friends

Hi Nontheist Friends,

I was looking through the online cover of "Friends' Journal" - https://www.friendsjournal.org/ - and it made me wonder would a Nontheist Friends Journal would entail?

(By way of comparison, I looked up UUs, and found the UU World - https://www.uuworld.org/ - published twice a year, not 10-12 times per year or so in FJ, and also "UU World: the Magazine of the Unitarian Universalist Association" -

https://www.uua.org/publications/uuworld

And I also found this historical, quite Christo-centric, Unitarian journals, from Harvard

Below are chronological lists -

https://guides.library.harvard.edu/c.php?g=253864&p=7224951 - and there were a lot of them!

And this description is interesting, re non-theism and UUs -

"Unitarian Universalism is not an atheist movement, but a religious movement into which some atheists may comfortably fit. The movement proclaims the importance of individual freedom of belief, and it includes members from a wide spectrum of beliefs."Oct 27, 2009

https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/atheism/types/unitarianuniversalism.shtml)

Am finding the Twitter conversation among the most interesting 'journals' out there, these days - re people sharing messages from a kind of sitting in Meeting approach, loosely (in front of their computers), and somewhat non-theistically, and somewhat friendly-wise too - but partly because it's distributed. (And while there are a variety of NtF #Hashtags and related eg https://twitter.com/hashtag/NontheistFriends?src=hashtag_click - people aren't yet engaging them very much, as people seem to be engaging Friends' Journal; might have to consider questions of advertising in any upcoming Non-theist Friends' Journal).

NtF Cheers,

Scott

Hibiscus syriacus: Eureka! HUGE further step toward a #RealisticVirtualEarth with #TimeSlider in #GoogleStreetView Ecosystem - & with WIKI crowdsourcing of data w #ML! For #EWVWG of #RealisticVirtualHarbin w #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego & #RealisticVir

Seeking to get started with phase 1 of creating a realistic virtual Harbin for tourism and tourism studies for my UC Berkeley TSWG talk on 12/18/20 ... and how best to do this for you and I to become creators at the cellular and atomic levels too (were you or I able to easily generate images at these scales)?

Glad this first image from Google seems to adaptable for Lego robotics' bricks!

Hi Ma,
On the popular vote side of this election, from Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's office just now:

"... On Tuesday, the American people made their choice clear at the ballot box. Joe Biden’s election will be historic, propelled by the votes of a record-shattering 74 million Americans – the most votes ever received by a presidential ticket in American history. "
https://iqconnect.lmhostediq.com/iqextranet/view_newsletter.aspx?id=102281&c=CA12NP

Taking a 'writing' approach, as the electoral college vote unfolds ... Thoughts?

Dear Dick,

How are you?

And it looks like there will be 2 Georgia Senate runoff races in January 2021 ...

Warm regards, Scotty

PSI shared this with my mother this morning, and in which you might be interested -

Gave a good piping lesson last night (and Taylor was on his smartphone on Skype video, small video, since his computer was in the shop). How are you doing in this liminal vote counting time? How are you?
I think in this post-election vote counting time - which I'm calling the Covid-19 vote counting time (which tRump has been having trouble combatting for months) - and possibly particularly of African American votes in PA and GA (which tRump may be calling 'illegal votes' indirectly, scarily, and racistly, it looks like Biden could emerge as the electoral college winner. What do you think? How are you doing with this crazy time?
I think we'll see a change in the countries' mindset, (weird) psychology and culture (as divided as it is) as tRump exits, stage right. What do you think about a change in psychology emerging in the US, and vis-a-vis the media, as a consequence of the 1 term president's potential end or exit?
Here's the first pronouncement that Biden wins, which I looked for an found in a Google search, and turned into a Harbin Tweet -
'Biden Wins, but the Capitalist Crisis That Created Trumpism Is Here to Stay: It’s now almost certain that Joe Biden will be the next President of the US ... elections were not a resounding defeat of Trumpism.'

Hi Taylor,
I really enjoyed and found interesting, and beautiful in a simple way, (your sending) Allan MacDonald playing "Lament for the Children" on the Scottish Small Pipes, and singing with it too -
"Here's the piobaireachd "Lament for the Children" by MacDonald as mentioned earlier:https://youtu.be/zCRbURorYE8 ... "

It's innovative on the SSP in my experience, and I appreciate his confidence too ... he's not worried about the lack of amazing skirl of the GHB with the SSP for example ...

So, for Thursday, "MacKIntosh's Banner"

Taurluath and Crunluath movements of MacKIntosh's Banner, and re the CoP Yellow Tutor Vol. 4 Piobaireachd, lesson 15 (p. 25), slowly

The Gray Old Lady of Rassay

Thanks for sending. The baritone drone sounds good, and adds!

* * Previous bagpiping teachers - wow!
Hi Taylor,
Wow, in seeking out good Piobaireachd recordings for
The Company's LamentMackintosh's BannerLament for Alasdair Dearg MacDonnell of GlengarryGlengarry's Lament

I had some wow experiences yesterday evening, all a little piping ethnomusicological as well -
Just came upon: Joyce MacFarlane, based in Pittsburgh, PA, in the mid-1970s, and who was my 2nd piping teacher, and this recent picture of JOYCE (in Scotland with her husband Jimmy McIntosh, also of Pgh) brought me 'there' in some time travel, here -
Jimmy McIntosh, DR’s Scrapbook and the Day John MacFadyen Did the Double
https://pipingpress.com/2018/05/17/jimmy-mcintosh-drs-scrapbook-and-the-day-john-macfadyen-did-the-double/

And then John MacFadyen in this same article was a teacher at a College of PIping summer camp near the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games in NC for a summer or two, thanks to Sandy Jones bringing him over from Scotland -
(Drawing parallels, I think "Doing the Double" - or "Did the Double" re John MacFadyen winning the 2 top piping prizes in Scotland in one year, could be somehow similar to WUaS having created 2 legal entities in California - the non-profit in CA (and 501 c 3 federally) World University and School, and the 2) for profit general stock company the WUaS Corporation, in California) - a kind of different "Doing the Double" :)
"John had pulled off the double, winning the Clasp and Gold Medal at the same meeting"

"winning both the Gold Medal competition and the Clasp at the Northern Meeting"

https://pipingpress.com/2018/05/17/jimmy-mcintosh-drs-scrapbook-and-the-day-john-macfadyen-did-the-double/
(Jimmy McIntosh's brogue, as you'll hear in another "Alasdair Dearg" email thread I'll send you, is very broad, a bit hard to understand, and he's lived in Pgh PA for decades, having left Scotland :))

John MacFadyen - http://schoolofpiping.com/photo_album/Pipers%20of%20Past%20Years%20©/slides/john-macfadyen.html

Recordings by him - https://www.discogs.com/John-MacFadyen-Champion-Piper-1968/release/15327136
And something further about John MacFadyen - https://www.pipesdrums.com/tag/john-macfadyen/

Ed Krintz was my first piping teacher, and thanks to Sandy Jones, both here:Ed Krintz has been a performer of the highland bagpipe for over 51 years, and has studied under P/M Sandy Jones, James MacIntosh, and the late John MacFadyen. He is a panel adjudicator for the EUSPBA, and currently teaches piping in the Charlotte, NC area.

http://www.pipebandsnc.com/brief-band-histories/

And Stuart Liddell is a teacher of mine in a sense too, and re -
Am liking how Stuart LIddell kind of becomes ONE with his pipes ... and then soars with high very rhythmic 'flight' flying directly into the sun or the light :)

Newspapers of record

Ma,
You sounded pretty good, after what you said about being down the night before.
How will they report the unfolding recounts that could decide this election, I wonder?
Here are the 4 newspapers of record in the US, and the electoral college tallies as I send this:

https://www.latimes.com/
B - 264 T - 214

https://www.washingtonpost.com/
B - 253 T - 214

https://www.nytimes.com/
B - 253 T - 214

https://www.wsj.com/
B - 264 T - 214

AND https://www.bostonglobe.com/
B - 264 T - 214
"Biden leads as battleground states continue to count votes
The presidential contest was still undecided Wednesday night, even after Joe Biden won Michigan and Wisconsin. Races in Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia were close, and the Trump campaign prepared legal challenges."
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/11/04/metro/biden-takes-lead-michigan-race-still-too-early-call/

These papers and the media in general could continue to report these electoral college wins for Biden (https://twitter.com/JoeBiden) as the state vote counts shift around in the upcoming days? This could be hopeful.

Really nice to talk < Ma !

Love, Scott

Thursday, November 5, 2020

Ma, we seem to be entering a phase of counting culture in this country and election, different from counterculture, and how this is reported, and informs, symbolically the news, media, newspapers of record, and the conversation about the way the people have voted - re the electoral college and the popular vote - and the badness of tRump, and relative goodness of Biden and Harris is part of this. What do you think? And how did you sleep last night? Love, Scott

*

Ma,

And in this liminal betwixt and between counting culture time, is there a kind of American football approach to this election, of letting the clock run out on the game, so the winning team with the highest score, which then decides to apply this strategy execute this play, wins? And are the newspapers, familiar with this sports' strategy in their reporting, simply applying it editorially, writing-wise, and symbolically, to this election. (It's kind of a Taoist approach too ... Just waiting non-action wise (wu wei) with life :)

Are newspapers of record the coaches or best teAms as News' organizations, in addition to the teams of D & R?

Ma,

Great formatting, and thanks.

Here are 2 articles from Norwegian and Finnish newspapers of record. It's the first article, when and if states start submitting new or updated vote counts, that makes the distributed-ness of this vote tallying process quite difficult for an ineffectual despot wannanabe to respond to media-wise (via his Fox News' outlier of a paper?). And newspapers of record around the world can continue to report the 264 for Biden and 213 for Trump ... Hmmm .. . This could lead to Biden winning in the people or the publics' minds ...

In this state, Trump must strike back. Nevada announces new numbers soon.

Google News

with its algorithms for news for you

Will play into the old sociological category of 'newspaper of record' in most countries but there's probably already a history here one can develop theoretically (I'll keep my eyes open when reading Castells' further :)

Ma,

Now if T man were to concede (in some newspapers of record) because the Republican campaign saw his increasing law suits and battles as very costly and expensive in a number of ways, financially and politically, the whole thing would be over and Biden would win ... Will Trump say 'uncle' (due to whom in the Rep. Party campaign?) ... The count goes on ... :) And newspapers of record continue the daily News' cycles and reporting on political change ...

Dear Dick,

Thanks so much for your email reply. In reading your "Out of Africa" chapter in "Brookline Thursday Club Essays: 1995-2016" this morning, I laughed when I read on p 58-59: "But on the whole genes are very Republican. They are stable and do not like change. Mutations are rare" ... and regarding our unstable Rep. President? He could conceivably be voted out tomorrow. And could this recent "Biden is steady" article in the Boston Globe - https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/10/31/nation/biding-his-time-waiting-moment-come-him/ - have even been a response to your talk in the Brookline Thursday Club? :) And did these lines get a good laugh when you read your paper in Brookline (which I'm thinking may be Democratic base)?

Am appreciating your genetics' focus in "Brookline Thursday Club Essays" much, as I continue to seek to begin a family :)

Fond regards, Scott

Warm regards,

PS

More about 'newspapers of record' -

How will they report the unfolding recounts that could decide this election, I wonder?

Here are the 4 newspapers of record in the US, and the electoral college tallies as I send this:

https://www.latimes.com/

B - 264 T - 214

B - 253 T - 214

https://www.nytimes.com/

B - 253 T - 214

https://www.wsj.com/

B - 264 T - 214

AND

https://www.bostonglobe.com/

B - 264 T - 214

"Biden leads as battleground states continue to count votes

The presidential contest was still undecided Wednesday night, even after Joe Biden won Michigan and Wisconsin. Races in Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia were close, and the Trump campaign prepared legal challenges."

These papers and the media in general could continue to report these electoral college wins for Biden (https://twitter.com/JoeBiden) as the state vote counts shift around in the upcoming days? This could be hopeful.

Developing further the WUaS Corporation, and to explore distributing a single cryptocurrency via Universal Basic Income experiments:

UBI experiments to alleviate poverty worldwide, and to distribute a single cryptocurrency, backed by most central banks, and to some of all 7.8 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar Wikidata Pin #, (and re WUaS Universitians as wiki teachers and learners in all ~200 countries and in all 7,117 known living languages) and this could emerge from California and from this WUaS Corporation ...

Ma, we seem to be entering a phase of counting culture in this country and election, different from counterculture, and how this is reported, and informs, symbolically the news, media, newspapers of record, and the conversation about the way the people have voted - re the electoral college and the popular vote - and the badness of tRump, and relative goodness of Biden and Harris is part of this. What do you think? And how did you sleep last night? Love, Scott

*

Ma,

And in this liminal betwixt and between counting culture time, is there a kind of American football approach to this election, of letting the clock run out on the game, so the winning team with the highest score, which then decides to apply this strategy execute this play, wins? And are the newspapers, familiar with this sports' strategy in their reporting, simply applying it editorially, writing-wise, and symbolically, to this election. (It's kind of a Taoist approach too ... Just waiting non-action wise (wu wei) with life :)

Are newspapers of record the coaches or best teAms as News' organizations, in addition to the teams of D & R?

Love, Scott
