Hi Lukas,

I just updated this blog entry - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/peak-district-bill-gates-and-steve-jobs.html - with your information.

Do you have a LinkedIn profile? (Mine is https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottgkmacleod/)
In the meantime, it's with regards to the idea of hikers and hillwalkers WIKI-contributing their own experiences in video and photos (via Google Glass Enterprise, for example) into something like Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth (with AllTrails) that could make all the hikes  that 10 Adventures offers accessible by other people, including disabled people (and created in part, too, by your hikers). (I'm calling this process of wiki-adding to a virtual world ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy, eg see https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20... - and see the 'label' for this in my blog too). It would be great to communicate further about how some of this could work.  It might be something 10 Adventures could even reach out to prospective hikers for your organized trips with - the opportunity via a kind of community service to help create the hikes you offer virtually. Hikers might love this, - and spread out all over the globe doing this (including esp. on 10 Adventures' trips).
Kind regards, Scott

to me

Hey Scott,

Thanks for getting back to me. So firstly, the Veggie Vegabonds isn't me :) I have had a chat with them some time ago, but those are two different entities on the web. Mine is 10Adventures.com. I use the .co email as I email a lot, and I use the .com one just for internal stuff mainly.

This is actually the link I was hoping you might want to have a look at https://www.10adventures.com/hikes/peak-district-national-park/. And I was hoping you might want to link to it. This would be a huge help to boost this region higher on Google.

As for your ideas, I do like the idea of being able to experience the whole trail in VR. Or just to walk it on the screen. I think it would help people who want to know what to expect. It might not be suitable for those who like surprises. My wife has a fear of exposure and sometimes we don't know if she can go on a hike as sometimes we read comments about exposure but we don't know how bad it is. So there's a risk to get stuck on trails that way. But, saying that, on 10Adventures, each route has been created by real people. That's actually what we are promoting. Instead of putting the routes together by looking at google or other maps, sitting at home, never doing them ourselves, the collaborators we found and the guys at 10Adventures personally have hiked these routes and recorded the GPS. So in a way, I think your idea is useful, but then it also allows everyone to appear as an expert for all the trails, without any real knowledge about the real deal.

An example is Alltrails.com. The route descriptions are autogenerated. And they rely completely on the comments of people who update the route information. But not all routes are popular or have even been walked by someone. this means, if you pick a route on that website, you rely on someone creating the route (possibly auto-creating the GPS too) and auto-created text about the terrain. This might not be the most reliable way of hiking, especially talking about the more difficult trails.

But, I do imagine your idea would be great. I imagine it would be awesome to have for each route, so people could do a test walk on their computer before choosing to do that trail.

Well, please let me know what you think about the Peak District guide. I would really appreciate it, and it would really help me a lot if you'd link to it. But I will fully understand if you are not interested.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Lukas

Hi, Lukas,

Thanks for your email. Is this you - https://veggievagabonds.com/yosemite-national-park-hiking-trails/? Photos in my daily blog posts are sometimes related to their content, sometimes not. Am happy to add a link to your guide to this blog post (but I don't think the post has that many readers). Please send the link and I'll add it.

With regard to your '10adventures.co' hillwalking project - https://www.10adventures.com/our-cont... - am curious what you're observing about virtual hiking or walking. Am seeking to facilitate a realistic virtual earth for everything including virtual hiking from home, for example, and with regards to, for example, Google Street View - https://twitter.com/rmbyrne/status/1232048856831078402?s=20. Will we be able to hike all 2650 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail or through the Peak District on an elliptical, and from home, in a digital mask? To be seen ... (Much of this emerges from my actual-virtual, physical digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, and visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ and "walk" down the road "4 miles" to Middletown, CA (accessible from https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~).

And will hikers be able to add to this developing realistic virtual earth (think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth +) with something like Google Glass Enterprise (see below).

Regards, and cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,

I am writing to you regarding your article "Peak District: Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were pretty good friends", which I have found here: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/peak-district-bill-gates-and-steve-jobs.html. I thought it's great.

In this article, you have mentioned The Peak District. I have actually written a detailed and accurate region guide about The Peak District, that I would love to show to you. I think it has all the information about each trail, thorough route guides, and even GPS coordinates anyone can download for free.

I was hoping you might be interested in seeing it. And I also wanted to ask, is there anything I could do that would make you consider linking to my guide about The Peak District?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Lukas

Hey Candace, (Alden, Dieter and Lukas/Mindaugas),
How are you, Candace? And where are you- and after all your perambulations? Am thinking further about virtual National Park hiking, or virtual hiking, and especially after further talking with Alden Smith ' 07 at a Thirsty Thursday in SF (thanks, too, to Dieter '01 above for convening this). Are you the head of the National Park Service, Candace '96, and based out of Death Valley NP, by any chance? :) ... or right up there at least :)

I just came across Maine-r Richard Byrne's "How to Measure Distance & Share Views in Google Earth" - https://youtu.be/zwDmWFOYc4o - on Twitter ... "Tour U.S. National Parks in Google Earth" - https://twitter.com/rmbyrne/status/1232048856831078402?s=20  (https://www.blog.google/products/earth/visit-us-national-parks-google-earth/ and http://edtechfitness.com/tour-u-s-national-parks-in-google-earth/) - and it made me wonder further about your and my conversation concerning virtual hiking in Death Valley NP, - and even for the benefits of movement on elliptical machines etc. from home. Alden had mentioned the word "effort" regarding what's involved in visiting places (re tourism), as we talked at the Reed College Thirsty Thursday, and I find this interesting since one definition of tourism per MacCannell, p.42, relates to "For the purposes of this paper, tourism can be defined as visiting marked sites, often involving travel, or more specifically, following offsite markers to onsite markers" - http://scottmacleod.com/anth250v.htm (and https://www.academia.edu/15259682/Gazing_at_the_Box_Tourism_in_the_Context_of_the_Internet_and_Globalization_Internetity_ ). So if one explores further, regarding a kind of social theory of tourism, the idea of effort as part of visiting places, and in lieu of traveling even, it seems possible to generate effort from home on elliptical machines. If one were viewing sites in a digital mask, or the back of one's glasses, I'd posit that this is a touristic experience as well. So how to generate such virtual touristic experiences further - and from the field?
And in what ways, Candace, might we explore hikers in Death Valley NP, and even with Google Glass Enterprise, with the TensorFlow chip (semiconductor) for images and working with Google TensorFlow AI software, while hiking and streaming video and images into Google Street View with time slider from the field? (Am currently emailing about this with 10 Adventures' Lukas Savella, originally from Lithuania, as well).

And in a related vein, brainstorming-wise, could we combine the above with keying flower species biologically with an App like this - in Death Valley NP:

Could this App that 'helps the visually impaired identify surroundings' with voice https://twitter.com/Paula_Piccard/status/1231771870514384896?s=20 be beginnings of 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth for DATA -& in recognizing hibiscus, labradors & pineapple & fruit, keying ALL 3-100mil.

Alden, 
Explored about "home movement," or "effort" to use your word, for example, when virtually travelling in Google Street View in a digital mask, in 2018, and regarding elliptical machines, treadmills etc here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/ceres-dwarf-planet-thanks-astroedlu-for.html - but am further interested in, as we talked, about particularly the researching meditation in the Harbin warm pool from home virtually. 
More soon in an email to Candace. 
Nice to meet and talk with you at the Reed Thirsty Thursday recently. 
Regards, Scott

Hi Scott,

thank you for adding the link, I really appreciate it.

This is my Linkedin profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mindau/. Don't get confused by the name, I use Lukas as, sadly, more people reply to that than my original name. I have sent you an invite on Linkedin.
I start to see a clearer picture of what you meant. I do find your idea interesting. 
Would you have a source with more explanation on that, so I could share it with the team? I would like to share this with my CEO and some contributors. I want to see if this is something that would interest us to participate in. As it's not entirely up to me to decide. 
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Lukas

Dear Larry,

Just looked up further ... 'plans for long-term stock market California - LTSE' - the so-called Silicon Valley stock exchange

Could the WUaS Press be a founding company on this stock exchange ?  Since I think WUaS is very long term oriented investing-wise re a kind of index investing (and socially responsible too, in a Friendly sense) approach, it seems like an opening.

Looks like:

"U.S. regulators approve new Silicon Valley stock exchange"
https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN1SG21K

WUaS being in California could open legal possibilities re the state of California in these regards.

to Larry, Philipp, Roland, maevemacglincheyHi Philipp (Law Pilot), Roland (Stanford Law CodeX) and Maeve, (and Larry),

This article just appeared yesterday in World Univ & Sch's daily Twitter Newsletter (via Paper.li), which I don't control or edit (and am not sure who or what chooses the daily article and photo+) - 
Sweden’s Central Bank Finally Embraces DLT, But Only in Simulation Mode
https://www.coindesk.com/swedens-central-bank-finally-embraces-dlt-but-only-in-simulation-mode
I was able to create a Twitter post that connects this article with the WUaS Twitter newspaper here - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1231786409683382273?s=20
I think Riksbank is Sweden's central bank: "The Riksbank is Sweden's central bank. We ensure that money retains its value and that payments can be made safely and efficiently. We also issue banknotes ... " per https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/.
Am curious how WUaS Law Schools in all ~200 countries' official languages, and potentially in collaboration with Stanford Law CodeX and Law Pilot regarding its GDPR compliance courses could explore what's developing here - and in terms of courses, law schools, as well as WUaS plans for, brainstorming-wise, a Wikidata PIN # for each of all 7.5 billion people on the planet and regarding UBI experiments, partly to DISTRIBUTE a single digital currency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (with the Euro in 19 out of 28 countries being a building block here).
Part of the question here is how might 'compliance courses for lawyers et al.,' regulating, hypothetically, the Pi cryptocurrency which is available "off the shelf" (from the Google Play Store) be regulated by the GDPR in the EuroZone ... and potentially regarding, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT), which are Blockchain ledger distributed systems, European Union currency law, and Law Pilot courses - and in WUaS Law Schools in each of all 28 EU countries - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School. 
All the best, Scott
Am including an email below to the chair of the WUaS Board, Larry Viehland, which I sent last night regarding this and much more (and will blog about this tomorrow probably - and in the UBI label).

'In case of emergency (was: Electricity outage)' ... 
this thread about a major earthquake in CA, or Coronavirus / COVID 19 or newly MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV) or SARS (re genes) 
MacLeod <sgkmacleod@gmail.com>1:03 PM (1 hour ago)
to edX, David, David, Dean, Gabrielle, Caleb, Brig, Jerry, Karen, Tym, Patti, Barbara, Peter, Janie, Alden, Gantt, Ed, Bruce, David, Heather, Ann, Alex, Jonathan, Linda, lovell, Byron, JoAnne, Scott, Jane, Bruce, Nancy, Michael, GLORYHi All, 
New thread here: 'In case of emergency (was: Electricity outage)' re numerous outages in Canyon 94516 ... but this thread could be about a major earthquake in CA, or Coronavirus / COVID 19 or newly MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV) or SARS (re genes) ...

Have been aggregating some information sources re Coronavirus / COVID 19, beginning here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/easter-island-chile-rapa-nui-report-all.html on Feb 12, 2020, where I think it begins data-wise around 23 Jan 2020.

Here's Kaiser Permanente's web page on this (which health care provider is in 8 US states) - https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/alerts/p1/2019-novel-coronavirus-feb-2020 - which points to the CDC - Center for Disease Control (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/index.html ) - for information.

Am wary of "Orientalism" (a kind of racism) in the representations of all this data, and here too - Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins CSSE
 ... https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 (where it's big red circles presently center on Wuhan China, Italy, and Iran) - but am also appreciative of all these new amazing opportunities for access to information!

Just learned of a new Coronavirus:
'MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV)
Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus'

from searching and finding this Google map -
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?msa=0&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=2&vpsrc=1&mid=15GjG9LJ3K4LTOcdYPuu2zjJoAPg&ll=29.482620294255913%2C132.57207391774304
(and this and SARS are all mentioned in the CDC website).

In German, here's a recent article on Coronavirus Covid-19 emerging in Italy:
https://www.fr.de/panorama/coronavirus-italien-riegelt-dutzend-staedte-zr-13533315.html (and as an alternative news' source, here are German national newspapers - https://www.deutschland.de/en/topic/knowledge/national-newspapers - https://translate.google.com/ - but search for information online in Google especially). And here's another article regarding Germany's health minister - https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/spahn-auch-deutsche-orte-koennten-abgeriegelt-werden-16649531.html - which suggests that quarantines could happen; and another regarding that the WHO wants the world to prepare for a Pandemic: https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/live205334991/Coronavirus-WHO-will-Welt-auf-moegliche-Pandemie-vorbereiten.html .

I also found the tone of this recent PBS NewsHour LIveStream responsible, informative and helpful:
WATCH LIVE: NewsHour answers your questions on novel coronavirus
Streamed live on Feb 21, 2020
- https://youtu.be/0jcT1Ui3Hmc
And here's the World Health Organization's web site: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019

And the web site of:
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
An agency of the European Union
https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/covid-19/interactive-map
Per this 1/12/20 blog entry again, am thinking / planning for avatar bot electronic medical records for all 7.5 billion people could help in this COVID-19 situation -

"Easter Island, Chile (Rapa Nui): . . . Genes . . . Report ALL cases of Coronavirus into a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics in #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords planning for all 7.5 billion people on planet in all ~200 nation states' WUaS Univs & in a SINGLE #RealisticVirtualEarth - and in the ~200 online WUaS teaching hospitals ..."
 https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/easter-island-chile-rapa-nui-report-all.html - and per Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church's recent Tweet (in blog post too) -

How to parse all this remarkable information as this situation develops - and between all of us in communication with experts (presumably creating these web site updates)? What information sites would you suggest looking at?

And about CA earthquake preparedness too?

I still think the risks of COVID-19 are place-specific, and from what I've read and heard are very very low, and was seeking a bell curve or graph of peak of deaths so far, but couldn't find this. This Johns Hopkins model suggests that 87,000 cases have been confirmed, 2,705 people have died thus far, and 28,000 people have recovered - https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 .

Hi, Ed, Byron, David, All, 
I've also added these two emails to my blog post from yesterday, FYI - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/teak-24-feb-2020-world-univ-sch-q-and.html ...

I'm curious how George Church's 'molecular diagnostics' into electronic medical records would work, and as one approach to deal with the possibility of PREPARING for a global pandemic (and not just a US one) per:


@geochurch

And if everyone on the planet had a potential Wikidata PIN # (like a Wikidata Q-item #) - all 7.5 billion people - in what ways could health workers orchestrate response capabilities in all ~200 countries and their official/main languages (and per https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages)? Build out even of the KP system? 
Thoughts, questions, observations?

Good morning, Ma,
Questions are implicit in all articles in the News. I find myself looking to Newspapers - web newspapers, and so in cyberspace (e.g. not in physical libraries) - in other countries to get away from the current presidential races - https://www.deutschland.de/en/topic/knowledge/national-newspapers ... 
The Guardian - Englandhttps://www.theguardian.com/uk
The World - Germanyhttps://www.welt.de
New Zurich News - Switzerlandhttps://www.nzz.ch
Times of India - Indiahttps://m.timesofindia.com/india
Vienna News - Austriahttps://www.wienerzeitung.atEg - Clear Win for the SPD and Greens in Hamburg Mayor's Electionhttps://www.wienerzeitung.at/nachrichten/politik/europa/2051548-Klarer-Sieg-fuer-SPD-und-Gruene-bei-Buergerschaftswahl-in-Hamburg.html
Berlin Newspaper - Germanyhttps://www.berliner-zeitung.de
And in the US,The Boston Globe - USAhttps://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/02/07/lifestyle/could-bostons-tourism-industry-become-victim-coronavirus/
Other countries' newspapers' too. Am not heading too often yet to the online PBS NewsHour TV show (your News of choice, I think) - and which I think is also newly in a YouTube LiveStream - which I could see on both my smartphone and on my computer laptop screen, like all these digital newspapers.
Coronavirus tops the headlines in different ways. Glad I read German in these regards. And 'place' (one thesis in my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book is that place informs culture - alternative culture or counterculture here) is newly significant online or Virtually or digitally as 'information' - and especially newly in conceiving of virtual Harbin. (I have an ongoing inquiry about the Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital in Harbin projects, and in general - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual?m=0, see too the 'virtual Harbin' label).
Glad the web make possible a wide variety of News options - kinda amazing. (Above is all in a social theory thinking vein too :)
How's your weekend going, and how are you? Thanks for this question email thread (and about Grandpa's Exeter tie too!).
Love, Scott


* Noon, Ma, :)
Here's where the PBS Newshour Livestream is accessible from - https://www.youtube.com/user/PBSNewsHour - either on computer laptop or on smartphone.
And here's a related resource - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/latest - and click or search around on your laptop for related if interested, - as a PBS NewsHour appreciator, that is.

Hi Alden,

Nice to meet and talk with you at the Reed gathering in SF just now.

Let's stay in touch regarding your real estate endeavors and CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, and our planned on the ground bookstores/computer stores/ robotics' stores / hospital technologies' distribution centers (planned in all ~200 countries' official languages even).

FYI, here are the WUaS Minutes, just finished and emailed today - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/eclectus-parrot-minutes-for-sat-feb-15.html.

What social media are you on most, if any?

Alden,

Nice to meet you on Thursday in SF at the Reed gathering.

As a scholar of tourism here -

Gazing at the Box:Tourism in the Context of the Internet and Globalization (Internetity)
http://scottmacleod.com/anth250v.htm (2000) - where travel can be seen as an important aspect of tourism, you mentioning "effort" re visiting places resonates with me in a new way with regard to virtual tourism, and visiting virtual places in a digital mask, by hiking in them, for example, on an elliptical machine...

Here's the Harbin hot springs' gatehouse ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) where you could "walk" down the road 4 "miles" and "amble" around Middletown, CA if interested in exploring.

Hippeastrum: World Univ & Sch's Monday News & Q&A conversation OPEN to YOU and related developments with LightStream, Video Conferencing software and YouTube LiveStream * * * Looks like the first primary for the Green Party is in California * And the Green

World Univ & Sch's Monday News & Q&A conversation OPEN to YOU and related developments with LightStream, Video Conferencing software and YouTube LiveStream

to Lydia, Larry, Denny, Edward, Juliette, Marian, nicoledgarrison26, Peter

Peter, (Lydia, Larry, Denny and All),

In reply to your email, and developments with LightStream, Video Conferencing software and YouTube LiveStream:

Thanks so SO much for all this helpful current VIDEO CONFERENCING information, Peter. Will stay with LIghtStream for Monday's WUaS News and Q&A with LiveStream -
(for example:
"Aging Reversal, a FIRST Artificial Intelligence Univ? - World Univ & Sch 10 Feb 2020 Q & A and News"

https://youtu.be/aq7iRi9YtyU)
https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch - for the time being, and potentially for real time CONVERSATIONS. Inviting one guest for an interview, for ex. - with new LIghtStream developments - could be ideal in a way anyway. May head to an OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) configuration eventually - https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/technical-explanation-of-obs-settings.642/ - for video conferencing directly in YouTube - but which will involve a kind of head of IT at WUaS I think.

In a related vein, hopefully a WUaS-edX (founded by Harvard and MIT) collaboration will emerge, and with it a NEW group video conferencing option with academic focus too, and for the Conference Method of Teaching and Learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - and potentially too for a required first year Humanities' 101 (Reed College-informed) undergraduate class. Still seeking ~500 German Abitur and other German high-achieving (WUaS is open) students for (beginning) this autumn in English free-to-students' online Bachelor's degrees based on MIT OCW (https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm). This would occur potentially via the MITx platform in edX since there are already 205 MIT OCW courses in MITx - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/ocw-labs/opencourseware-bundles-for-edx/.

Have you checked out the Minutes from WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on 2/15 - https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity - beginning with "Eclectus Parrot: Minutes ..." -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/eclectus-parrot-minutes-for-sat-feb-15.html ?

(Your WUaS Logo is brilliant, by the way - thanks again, and hopefully WUaS will afford other related creative opportunities ahead. Glad too that http://worlduniversityandschool.org is now updatable with a secure port - and check out our WUaS video here too!).

Thoughts about seeking and matriculating ~500 German Abitur students for this autumn (and potentially in a Bachelor's degree class of about 2000 online students?) And thoughts about the very last Minute on the WUaS Corp/Press wing - about seeking 4 new Board members for this for profit general stock company?

Looks like the first primary for the Green Party is in California * And the Green Party of Britain plans to introduce a Universal Basic Income (UBI) of 89 pounds per week by 2025 * Am keeping my eye on those MIT programmers calling out smartphone Apps relying on very young Blockchain ledger voting technologies


Dick, Lucy, Ma, Alden, Searched on Howie Hawkins in "Democracy Now" and much Ralph Nader (whom I voted for as Green Presidential candidate too) comes up, as key thinker for the Green Party potentially too -

https://www.democracynow.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C&query=howie+hawkins
And in a now for something completely different vein, it looks like the first primary for the Green Party is in California - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Green_Party_presidential_primaries (but it's not entirely clear from this updatable Wikipedia article). And it's the big day of Nov 3rd that counts in this upcoming US presidential election here. (I continue to think that Biden has the best chances of winning on the Democratic side, and found it interesting that he Biden says he was arrested on the way to visit Nelson Mandela - could this mean 'stopped' by security forces at a check point during Apartheid, for ex.? - see, too https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/21/us/politics/biden-south-africa-arrest-mandela.html, and see, too - https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2013/06/17-inspiring-facts-about-nelson-mandela.html and "The 1970s: The Anti-Apartheid Movement's Difficult Decade. The 1970s were a pivotal decade in the Southern African liberation struggle" - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03057070902919991).

And the Green Party of Britain plans to introduce a Universal Basic Income of 89 pounds per week by 2025 - https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-politics-50439961/green-party-unveils-plan-for-universal-basic-income-by-2025 . As an international party, the Green Party is interesting re US politics too.

Some further thoughts about big November election ahead:

Am keeping my eye on those MIT programmers calling out smartphone Apps relying on very young Blockchain ledger voting technologies e.g. 
"Today, myself and co-authors @jimmykoppel and @djweitzner released a paper discussing a slew of vulnerabilities we found in @voatz, a blockchain voting app that's been used in US federal elections. You can read about it in the @nytimes !" -

https://twitter.com/mspecter/status/1227870800327462912?s=20 
... It seems like similar MIT programmers could be significant in keeping the (ever growing in small ways) computing aspects of voting fair this autumn. I found this above Twitter post on Neha Narula's Twitter feed - https://twitter.com/neha - and she's the Director of the MIT Digital Currency Initiative (and wonder if this Mike Specter is any relation to Arlen Specter a PA US Senator in the 1980s, beginning his term 2 years after my father was Secretary of Health during the TMI nuclear meltdown catastrophe in 1979).   
I looked up Andrew Yang's UBI - Universal Basic Income - recently too, just to see where he brought this conversation in the US presidential Democratic debates - and found the articles below. Seems like digital currencies with blockchain ledger could interrelate with other blockchain ledger systems (such as voting systems) - so am glad MIT and Harvard coders and law schools/centers, for example, are watching these developments.

One question I wonder about here is: if the poor in the US, and around the world, could be freed from poverty in the transition to a single digital currency in many of ~200 countries' official languages - with something off the shelf (off the Google Play Store shelf :) like the Pi cryptocurrency created by Stanford graduates, and with a lightning button for mining it with algorithms, then could that be something Biden, or Elizabeth Warren, could successfully run on?

* * * (And how too to navigate the 'hunters' in the US system too - the would be US assassins, and from both sides of the aisle, is another thing I wonder about, and which the US secret service seems to have had a fairly successful track record with since Kennedy, it seems). So how to keep them away from Pres T, and a possible Dem contender, a Vice Pres J.B. for example? * * *

I'm also curious how to prevent UBI experiments, to end poverty, getting eaten up - for ex. by ginormous health insurance cost rises, in the transition from ObamaCare to new payment approaches for maintaining enrollment in Kaiser Permanente health coverage - and in all ~200 countries around the world, and in their official languages.

What do you think in all these regards?

Dick, Lucy, Ma and Alden, 
And what do you think of this Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church 60 Minutes interview where he says that age reversal has been PROVEN in 8 different ways -

https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk #longevity - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/supermoon-aging-reversal-first.html - and that he's looking at adding an enzyme genetically back to DNA, which decreases in the aging process?
The prospects of living beyond 122 are increasing, as I see this! 
Fondly, Scotty- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/hippeastrum-world-univ-schs-monday-news.html -

Minutes for Sat Feb 15, 2020 World University & School's Monthly Business Meeting


Minutes -

0
World Univ & Sch is LISTENING via our open Monthly Business Meeting (in the manner of Nt Friends / Quakers), and in ways you'd care to share - eg share ideas or questions with:  info@worlduniversityandschool.org, on Twitter - @WorldUnivAndSch - or come to an open WUaS News and Q & A electronically on Mondays at 10 am PT - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch - via LiveStream here too; and please check out the World Univ and Sch Agenda and News regarding this first Minute if you haven't already - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/keyhole-sand-dollar-agenda-and-minutes.html.



1
In seeking 500-2000 online for free-to-students' CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric degrees at World University and School as we begin licensing with the state of California's BPPE, WUaS seeks too to create an enormous number of high quality careers in all ~200 countries and 7,111 known living languages, and potentially about 2.2 million jobs in all ~200 countries' official languages.



2
WUaS may head to a CA BPPE licensing workshop on May 13, 2020 in Sacramento instead, since  monies are now newly available to World University and School for state of California BPPE licensing (after first attending a CA BPPE workshop on 2/20/19 in San Jose, CA)!

- https://www.bppe.ca.gov/schools/application_workshops.shtml
- https://www.bppe.ca.gov/forms_pubs/approval_nonaccredited.pdf



3
WUaS is seeking monies now for accreditation (probably with WASC senior), and, concurrently, as we begin licensing CA's BPPE.



4
World Univ and Sch's WUaS PayPal donation link is newly here (which URL is:  https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=86ACG3JUH973A&source=url) - and newly in these Minutes too.


World University and School's web site is now editable again, with secure FTP after being hacked a number of times in recent months, and has also re-added the following editable links, each planned in all ~200 countries' main languages:

Library Resources - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources
All libraries in all 7,111 known living languages as wiki pages (and also in Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate, etc.)


Museums - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Museums
All museums in all 7,111 known living languages as wiki pages (and also in Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate, etc.)

5
In the ~200 planned online law schools at World University and School, WUaS is exploring collaboration for licensing courses for cryptocurrency compliance in nation states in Europe, the EU, and regarding both Stanford law CodeX via Law Pilot - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School.
See too: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/panthera-stanford-law-school-codex-mtg.html (and with regards too to WUaS seeking to facilitate a single digital currency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks and distributed via Universal Basic Income experiments to all 7.5 billion people on planet - via You at WUaS https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and for alleviating poverty; see too the WUaS Corp below).



6
Regarding 'You at WUaS' and Universal Basic Income experiments per - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and in planning too for matriculating students in all ~200 countries' languages, and speakers of all 7,111 known living languages as wiki teachers and learners, and thus, brainstorming-wise, potentially for all 7.5 billion wiki teachers and learners on the planet - and also for Universal Basic Income experiments re all 7.5 billion people to alleviate poverty - WUaS may seek to collaborate with Alphabet / Google in communication with Alphabet / Google CEO Sundar Pichai.



7
WUaS tends toward CC-4 openness, without advertising, in planning our WIKI criteria for adding to wiki WUaS, and with Artificial Intelligence too - and potentially will seek to learn more about approaches to this in communication with Wikipedia / Wikimedia / Wikidata, as well as Creative Commons, and others.



8
It's particularly with regard to ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - that World Univ & Sch seeks to develop with the TensorFlow CHIP #TPU #EdgeTPU for image recognition (see, too: https://twitter.com/rzembo/status/1223648708023193600?s=20) … and for #MachineLearning #AI in a single #RealisticVirtualEarth #RealisticVirtualHarbin regarding #ActualVirtual @HarbinBook ethnography and again for #EthnoWikiVirtualWorldGraphy as a new social science and STEM methodologies, and as classrooms.



9
World University and School has filed the Statement of Information SI-100 form with state of California soon.

Minutes for Feb 15, 2020 WUaS Corporation Board Meeting

A
With regards, brainstorming-wise, to the Pi cryptocurrency with blockchain technologies, and for potential UBI experiments, WUaS seeks to develop with Wikidata PIN#s (in Wikidata's ~300 languages), and to plan for all 7.5 billion people, and to explore facilitating a single digital currency, for example, again the mineable-from-smartphone "Pi" cryptocurrency or similar, to be distributed by Universal Basic Income experiments (to alleviate poverty), and re compliance regulatory courses in all ~200 countries.
See - "Pi is a new digital currency being developed by a group of Stanford PhDs" - https://youtu.be/MsOaC61cR3U - and also - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/panthera-stanford-law-school-codex-mtg.html . Planning for All 7.5 billion people here would relate to the other reasons WUaS seeks to code for all 7.5 billion people - see all 5 initial reasons here: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html - and Happy New Year!

West Bengal, India, World Univ and Sch and re wiki (and Wikipedia?)


Info WorldUniversity <info@worlduniversityandschool.org>Sun, Feb 16, 6:30 PM (5 days ago)
to Pin, Mainak, Mainak, Marti, mazumdarp, Saumitra, Saumitra, Scott, sgkmacleodHi Pin, Saumitra, Mazumdars, All,

I just saw this new development from the West Bengal Wikimedians' User Group - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/West_Bengal_Wikimedians/Reports/Annual_Activities/2019 - which I think might interest you. 
And this is the original email: 
"Hi all,

We are pleased to share with you  our annual activity report for the year
2019.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/West_Bengal_Wikimedians/Reports/Annual_Activities/2019

Appreciating the pictures in this report especially.

PS: And here's the Bengali language wiki subject page at MIT OCW-centric World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bengali_language - planned in Bengali, for free-to-students' online MIT OCW-centric degrees.

I'd like to introduce you all to one another. Bodhisattwa, Pin (Sid), Saumitra, and All. Bodhisattwa, lives in Puruliya, West Bengal, India - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bodhisattwamandal/ - and is a Wikidata / Wikipedia friend, and I know Pin (aka Siddartha) and the Mazumdars from our high school years together in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but where Pin was born in Kolkata, West Bengal, and came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mazumdar, when age 1, to the united states when they matriculated at Cornell University in NY for their Ph.D.s. Saumitra (Gubito) also came to the US to attend Cornell University in his late teens/early twenties (https://www.linkedin.com/in/saumitra-sengupta-5b99a51). And Maitreyi, Pin's younger sister is a medical doctor at Harvard, and has a research site in Bangladesh (https://www.linkedin.com/in/maitreyi-mazumdar-4b545332/).
These are Bodhisattwa and my recent messages in Linked In:
Scott:Thanks for your helpful Wikimedia and Wikidata emails, Bodhisattwa PS: Here's the Bengali language wiki subject page at MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bengali_language - planned in Bengali, for free-to-students' online MIT OCW-centric degrees. Regards, Scott (worlduniversityandschool.org and scottmacleod.com)

Bodhisattwa:
Thanks Scott, I will go through the links for sure.
Scott:Thanks, Bodhisattwa - please let me know what you think would benefit WUaS West Bengal learners, and wiki-teachers, on both A) the wiki side, and B) with free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric degrees in Bengali, from this and related WUaS wiki pages. Will email you with introduction. Thanks so much, Bodhisattwa, and great to connect. Best regards, Scott (See, too, India WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/India and planned West Bengal WUaS, in Bengali and Hindi +)
I wonder if all of you could take on the development of West Bengal World University and School (and India WUaS too at present), both wiki and MIT OCW-centric  - and in Bengali, and Hindi, as WUaS gains access to information technologies in these languages? (And even eventually regarding online clinical research with A.I. and machine learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) - as well as potentially online MIT OCW-centric Medical Degrees - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - in West Bengal and Bangladesh)?
How best to communicate further about all of this?

Key takeaway is that no matter how your LDL goes up, it’s always worse than if it didn’t. But timing matters, too. To minimise the risk of heart disease, it’s always best to start paying attention to your numbers as early as possible 😊👍🏼

Rilke, Rainer Maria: Poetic Style and ThemesRilke was sensitive and introspective. His poetic style was rich and supple, varying from the simple to the elaborate and profound. It is generally characterized by striking visual imagery, musicality, and a preponderant use of nouns. The erotic and spiritual love between men and women is a constant theme. In tone Rilke's verse was often mystical and prophetic; he used symbolism as a means of expression and created poetry that bears a strong resemblance to medieval verse. This resemblance may reflect Rilke's religious outlook—his probing into the emotional and spiritual issues involved in the search for goodness and transcendence in the absence of a personal God and his absorption with death as a poetic theme. Rilke was antimodern in many ways, an attitude particularly evident in his antipathy for large modern cities.

Rainer Maria Rilke: Poems ThemesWritten by Rudolf Pretzler, Nursalin Ashfi

Christian TheologyThroughout the poetic career of Rainer Maria Rilke, the expression or exploration of the Christian faith is a major theme. Such a topic can be found in many of his works, yet is most prevalent in the late early poems that have a strong Christian narrative. A good example of this can be found in “Die Kinder” (The children) where death is portrayed as a benevolent Christian figure, promising eternal life. This poem is part of a cycle called the eleven visions of Christ, which in itself shows the strong mythical adoration for the Christian leader Rilke had.The depiction of Christian faith and religious symbolism is positive within the works of Rilke where little doubt can be found as to the sincerity and truthfulness of god’s plan for this earth and his benevolence. Especially in his early career as a poet, Rilke wrote almost only religiously charged poems.However, he never really adhered to common themes of religious worship of his time and one would be hard pressed to find many references to the bible or particular sermons within his poems. The Christian faith seems disengaged from the worldly and found only in the God and his acting upon this planet. The most important example of this is found in his “Duino Elegies”, which are heavily Christian but in such a mythical way as to be completely different from common Catholic or Protestant teachings.This theme can be considered the most prevalent of all themes within Rilke’s poetry. It is the main theme of many of his poetic cycles, including “Christus Elf Visionen” (The eleven visions of Christ), “Gebete der Maedchen zu Maria” (The girls prayers to Mary), or “Das Marien- Leben” (The life of Mary). Later poems leave this theme and focus on other topics like ancient mythology and human life.NationalismAs a man of Bohemian (Czech) origin within the Austrian empire, Rilke showed strong nationalistic streaks within very early poems. While this theme becomes less prevalent in later stages of his writing, especially the very early cycle of poems “Larenopfer” (Sacrifice to the Laren), shows strong nationalistic tendencies within the description of characters.A good example of this can be found in “Das Heimatlied” (The origin’s song). Rilke exemplifies the pride of his people through a young woman, upon being asked to sing a song about her home, says three words in Czech and starts crying in joy. This is significant as Bohemia was part of the Austrian Empire during Rilke’s lifetime and the usage of the Czech language in contrast to the German narrative can be seen as a nationalistic outburst.Love – A girl’s lifeEspecially at the start of the twentieth century, after his first strong religious wave of poems, Rilke showed a special interest in the life of females, often from his own country. It is important to notice here that almost none of the poems actually describes a particular woman. The girls and women in these poems can be considered ideals of life and as a yearning towards companionship.The poems focus on women’s life journey (e.g. “Jetzt sind sie schon alle selber Frauen” – They are women already), work (e.g. “Wenn die blonden Flechterinnen…” – When the blonde weavers…), romantic joy (e.g. “Koeniginnen seid ihr und reich…” – Queens you are and rich…) or even strive (e.g. Maedchenmelancholie” – melancholy of a girl).However, the depicted women are always beautiful, idealistic and perfect in their position within society. Rilke refrained from depicting reality, rather focussing on an ideal world of men, where women’s life is purely defined by the existence and love of men.Greek MythologyRilke’s strong focus on mythological content, especially his recount of the ancient Greek mythology of Orpheus and Eurydice in “Die Sonette an Orpheus” (Sonnets to Orpheus), found their height after his time as a soldier in First World War. Typical for Rilke’s style, most of the poems have a strong metaphoric character.
This focus on Greek mythology should, however, not be misunderstood as a refocus away from Christian believes, as most of these poems were created at the same time as his highly mythical Christian series “Duinos Elegien”. In contrast, when analyzing the Greek themes they are often found to be married to themes found in the bible.

Rainer Maria Rilke
1875–1926


Widely recognized as one of the most lyrically intense German-language poets, Rainer Maria Rilke was unique in his efforts to expand the realm of poetry through new uses of syntax and imagery and in an aesthetic philosophy that rejected Christian precepts and strove to reconcile beauty and suffering, life and death. As C. M. Bowra observed in Rainer Maria Rilke: Aspects of His Mind and Poetry, â€œWhere others have found a unifying principle for themselves in religion or morality or the search for truth, Rilke found his in the search for impressions and the hope these could be turned into poetry... For him Art was what mattered most in life.” The only child of a German-speaking family in Prague, then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Rilke was the son of a retired officer in the Austrian army who worked as a railroad official; his mother was a socially ambitious and possessive woman. At age eleven Rilke began his formal schooling at a military boarding academy; in 1891 he was discharged due to health problems that would plague him throughout his life. He immediately returned to Prague, only to find that his parents had divorced in his absence. Shortly thereafter he began receiving private instruction toward passing the entrance exams for Prague’s Charles-Ferdinand University. In 1894 his first book of verse, Leben und Lieder: Bilder und Tagebuchblatter, was published. After a short stint at Charles-Ferdinand University, Rilke left Prague for Munich where he mingled in the city’s literary circles, had several of his plays produced, published his poetry collections, Larenopfer and Traumgelkront, and was introduced to the work of Danish writer Jens Peter Jacobsen, who was a decisive influence during Rilke’s formative years. Visiting Venice in 1897, Rilke met Lou Andreas-Salome, a married woman fifteen years his senior, who was also a strong influence. After spending the summer of 1897 with her in the Bavarian Alps, Rilke accompanied Salome and her husband to Berlin in late 1897 and to Italy the following year.Rilke’s early verse, short stories, and plays are characterized by their romanticism. His early poems show the influence of the German folk song tradition and have been compared to the lyrical work of Heinrich Heine. The most popular poetry collections of Rilke’s during this period were Vom lieben Gott und Anderes (Stories of God) and the romantic cycle Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke (The Story of the Love and Death of Cornet Christoph Rilke), which remained the poet’s most widely recognized book during his lifetime. Dictionary of Literary Biography contributor George C. Schoolfield called Rilke’s first poetry collection, Leben und Lieder (“Life and Songs”), “unbearably sentimental,” but thought later works such as Larenopfer(“Offering to the Lares”) and Traumgekroent (“Crowned with Dreams”) demonstrated “considerably better proof of his lyric talent.” Although none of Rilke’s plays are considered major works, and his short stories, according to Schoolfield, demonstrate the author’s immaturity, the latter do show “his awareness of language and a certain psychological refinement,” as well as “flashes of brilliant satiric gift” and “evidence of a keen insight into human relations.” Schoolfield also observed that “some of Rilke’s best tales are autobiographical,” such as “Pierre Dumont,” which features a young boy saying goodbye to his mother at the gates to a military school, and “Ewald Tragy,” a two-part story about a boy who leaves his family and hometown of Prague for Munich, where he fights loneliness but enjoys a new sense of freedom.

In 1899 Rilke made the first of two pivotal trips to Russia with Salome, discovering what he termed his “spiritual fatherland” in both the people and the landscape. There Rilke met Leo Tolstoy, L. O. Pasternak (father of Boris Pasternak), and the peasant poet Spiridon Droschin, whose works Rilke translated into German. These trips provided Rilke with the poetic material and inspiration essential to his developing philosophy of existential materialism and art as religion. Inspired by the lives of the Russian people, whom the poet considered more devoutly spiritual than other Europeans, Rilke’s work during this period often featured traditional Christian imagery and concepts, but presented art as the sole redeemer of humanity. Soon after his return from Russia in 1900, he began writing Das Stundenbuch enthaltend die drei Bücher: Vom moenchischen Leben; Von der Pilgerschaft; Von der Armuth und vom Tode, a collection that “marked for him the end of an epoch,” according to Bowra and others. This book, translated as The Book of Hours; Comprising the Three Books: Of the Monastic Life, Of Pilgrimage, Of Poverty and Death, consists of a series of prayers about the search for God. Because of this concern, Hound and Horn critic Hester Pickman noted that the book “might have fallen out of the writings of Christian contemplatives,” except that “the essential pattern is an inversion of theirs. God is not light but darkness—not a father, but a son, not the creator but the created. He and not man is our neighbor for men are infinitely far from each other. They must seek God, not where one or two are gathered in His name, but alone.”

Whenever Rilke writes about God, however, he is not referring to the deity in the traditional sense, but rather uses the term to refer to the life force, or nature, or an all-embodying, pantheistic consciousness that is only slowly coming to realize its existence. “Extending the idea of evolution,” Eudo C. Mason explained in an introduction to The Book of Hours, â€œand inspired probably also in some measure by Nietzsche’s idea of the Superman, Rilke arrives at the paradoxical conception of God as the final result instead of the first cause of the cosmic process.” Holding in contempt “all other more traditional forms of devoutness, which… merely ‘accept God as a given fact,’” Rilke did not deny God’s existence, but insisted that all possibilities about the nature of life be given equal consideration.

The real theme of The Book of Hours, concluded Mason, is the poet’s “own inner life,” his struggles toward comprehension, and, “above all… his perils as a poet.” The second major concept in The Book of Hours is Rilke’s apotheosis of art. “‘Religion is the art of those who are uncreative,’” Mason quoted Rilke as having said; the poet’s work is often concerned with the artist’s role in society and with his inner doubts about his belief in poetry’s superiority. Because of the firm establishment of these two themes in The Book of Hours, the collection “is essential to the understanding of what comes afterwards” in Rilke’s writing, attested Pickman. The Book of Hours was also another of the poet’s most popular works, second only to The Story of the Love and Death of Cornet Christoph Rilke during his lifetime. But despite being a “very beautiful” book, it also “remains too constantly abstract. It lacks the solid reality of great poetry,” according to Pickman.

Rilke fixed his verse more firmly in reality in his next major poetry collection, Neue Gedichte (New Poems). The major influence behind this work was Rilke’s association with the famous French sculptor, Auguste Rodin. Working as Rodin’s secretary from 1905 to 1906, Rilke gained a greater appreciation of his work ethic. More importantly, however, the poet’s verses became objective, evolving from an impressionistic, personal vision to the representation of this vision with impersonal symbolism. He referred to this type of poetry as Dinggedichte (thing poems). These verses employed a simple vocabulary to describe concrete subjects experienced in everyday life and would lead W. H. Auden to declare in New Republic that “Rilke’s most immediate and obvious influence has been upon diction and imagery.” Rilke expressed ideas with “physical rather than intellectual symbols. While Shakespeare, for example, thought of the non-human world in terms of the human, Rilke thinks of the human in terms of the non-human, of what he calls Things (Dinge).” Having learned the skill of perceptive observation from Rodin and, later, from the French painter Paul Cezanne, Rilke “sustained for a little while the ability to write without inspiration, to transform his observations—indeed his whole life—into art,” according to Nancy Willard, author of Testimony of the Invisible Man. The “‘thingness’ of these poems,” explained Erich Heller in The Artist’s Journey into the Interior and Other Essays, â€œreflects not the harmony in which an inner self lives with its ‘objects’; it reflects a troubled inner self immersing itself in ‘the things.’” But although this objective approach innovatively addressed subjects never before recognized by other poets and created “dazzling poems,” Rilke realized, according to Willard, that it “did not really open the secret of living things.”

By this point in his career, Rilke was reaching a crisis in his art that revealed itself both in New Poems and his only major prose work, the novel Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge (The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge). These works express the poet’s growing doubts about whether anything existed that was superior to mankind and his world. This, in turn, brought into question Rilke’s very reason for writing poetry: the search for deeper meaning in life through art. In her book, Rainer Maria Rilke, E. M. Butler averred that “The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge” marks a crisis in Rilke’s attitude to God, a crisis which might be hailed as the loss of a delusion, or deplored as the loss of an ideal… [His concept of the] future artist-god had never been more than a sublime hypothesis, deriving from Rilke’s belief in the creative and transforming powers of art.” Having failed, in his mind, to accurately represent God in his poetry, Rilke attempted to “transform life into art” in his New Poems. â€œWhat he learnt,” Butler continued, “is what every artist has to face sooner or later, the realisation that life is much more creative than art. So that his mythological dream, the apotheosis of art, appeared to be founded on delusion. Either art was not as creative as he had thought, or he was not such a great artist. Both these doubts were paralyzing, and quite sufficient to account for the terrible apprehension present in every line of Malte Laurids Brigge. For this skepticism struck at the roots of his reason and justification for existence. Either he was the prophet of a new religion, or he was nobody.”

The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge is a loosely autobiographical novel about a student who is the last descendant of a noble Danish family (Rilke believed, erroneously according to his biographers, that he was distantly related to Carinthian nobility), and follows his life from his birth to a grim, poverty-stricken life as a student in Paris. Images of death and decay (especially in the Paris scenes) and Malte’s fear of death are a continuous presence throughout the narrative. Because Rilke never finished The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (in one of his letters, the author told a friend he ended the book “‘out of exhaustion,’” reported Schoolfield) Malte’s ultimate fate is left ambiguous. In one of Rilke’s letters translated in Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke: 1910-1926, the author remarked that the most significant question in The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge is: “[How] is it possible to live when after all the elements of this life are utterly incomprehensible to us?” As William Rose determined in Rainer Maria Rilke: Aspects of His Mind and Poetry, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge actually was kind of a catharsis for the author in which “Rilke gave full vent… to the fears which haunted him.” “Without the Notebooksbehind him,” Wood concluded, “the poet would hardly have ventured” to write the Duino Elegies in 1912.

Duino Elegies â€œmight well be called the greatest set of poems of modern times,” claimed Colin Wilson, author of Religion and the Rebel. Wilson averred, “They have had as much influence in German-speaking countries as [T. S. Eliot‘s] The Waste Land has in England and America.” Having discovered a dead end in the objective poetry with which he experimented in New Poems, Rilke once again turned to his own personal vision to find solutions to questions about the purpose of human life and the poet’s role in society. Duino Elegies finally resolved these puzzles to Rilke’s own satisfaction. Called Duino Elegies because Rilke began writing them in 1912 while staying at Duino Castle on the Italian Adriatic coast, the collection took ten years to complete, due to an inspiration-stifling depression the poet suffered during and after World War I. When his inspiration returned, however, the poet wrote a total of eleven lengthy poems for the book; later this was edited down to ten poems. The unifying poetic image that Rilke employs throughout Duino Elegies is that of angels, which carry many meanings, albeit not the usual Christian connotations. The angels represent a higher force in life, both beautiful and terrible, completely indifferent to mankind; they represent the power of poetic vision, as well as Rilke’s personal struggle to reconcile art and life. The Duino angels thus allowed Rilke to objectify abstract ideas as he had done in New Poems, while not limiting him to the mundane materialism that was incapable of thoroughly illustrating philosophical issues.

The revolutionary poetic philosophy that Rilke proposed in Duino Elegies is considered significant to many literary scholars. “No poet before him had been brave enough to accept the whole of [the dark side of the] world, as if it were unquestionably valid and potentially universal,” asserted Conrad Aiken in his Collected Criticism. Like the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who lived about the same time as Rilke, the poet determined his objective to be “[praise] and celebration in the face of and in full consciousness of the facts that had caused other minds to assume an attitude of negativity,” wrote Emergence from Chaos author Stuart Holroyd. But even though the final purpose of Duino Elegies is to praise existence, the “predominant note… is one of lament.” By overcoming his quandaries in this collection, Rilke was completely free to devote his poetry to praise in Sonnets to Orpheus.

“The Sonnets are the songs of his victory,” affirmed Bowra in The Heritage of Symbolism. â€œIn the Sonnets,” Bowra wrote, “Rilke shows what poetry meant to him, what he got from it and what he hoped for it. The dominating mood is joy. It is a complement to the distress and anxiety of the Elegies, and in Rilke’s whole performance the two books must be taken together.” Aiken similarly commented that the “ Sonnets to Orpheus… is, with the Elegies, Rilke’s finest work—the two books really belong together, shine the better for each other’s presence.”

In the last few years of his life, Rilke was inspired by such French poets as Paul Valery and Jean Cocteau, and wrote most of his last verses in French. Rilke suffered from illness his whole life and died of leukemia in 1926 while staying at the Valmont sanatorium near Lake Geneva. On his deathbed, he remained true to his anti-Christian beliefs and refused the company of a priest. Hermann Hesse summed up Rilke’s evolution as a poet in his book, My Belief: Essays on Life and Art: â€œRemarkable, this journey from the youthful music of Bohemian folk poetry… to Orpheus, remarkable how… his mastery of form increases, penetrates deeper and deeper into his problems! And at each stage now and again the miracle occurs, his delicate, hesitant, anxiety-prone person withdraws, and through him resounds the music of the universe; like the basin of a fountain he becomes at once instrument and ear.” Without his parents’ religious ideals to comfort him, Rilke found peace in his art. As Holroyd concluded, the “poetry which Rilke wrote to express and extend his experience… is one of the most successful attempts a modern man has made to orientate himself within his chaotic world.”

Here's Stanford's Dave Brady again and Re Presidents' day yesterday:


Here's Stanford Professor of Political Science, Dave Brady, whom I've been impressed with in person in the Stanford Law school (and he responded to an email I sent him about his talk too) before (and where political science is getting closer and closer to a science), and upcoming election, FYI:

Assessing the Prospects for a Brokered Convention
By Brett Parker & David Brady
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/02/13/assessing_the_prospects_for_a_brokered_convention_142386.html

I found this sentence interesting here:
"Suppose for the sake of argument, however, that the field narrowed to a single moderate and a single progressive (with likely Biden, Buttigieg, or Klobuchar in the former role and Sanders in the latter)."

And in a similar vein from Parker and Brady in 2018, re 'flipping the house' - https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2018/11/06/flipping_the_house_what_94_06_10_turnout_tells_us_138561.html
