Much of my thinking is both Google/Alphabet-centric, as well as Stanford-centric re coding questions in this email thread, Jean-Claude, and re your connection as an alumnus of the Stanford GSB as well.
Looking forward to talking with you all of you on Wednesday, and meeting you, Jean-Claude! (I have neither Brittany nor Cian's email addresses, so please forward these to them, if possible!) Thank you.

Red-eyed treefrog: Significance of the metaphor of 'virus' itself to the idea of meme * * * 'Memorial flowers for Gordon at the church today from the three of us' re questions of CONSCIOUSNESS in terms of writing, psychotherapy, Yoga and philosophy * * * H

Scott MacLeod <helianth@gmail.com>Wed, Dec 4, 6:38 PM (15 hours ago)
to Rishi, Tarleton, Scott, Gohar, air-l@listserv.aoir.orgGohar, Rishi, Tarleton and AoIR,

While your questions and the book Rishi mentions touch on virality, I'd like to bring up the significance of the metaphor of 'virus' itself to the idea of meme ... I'm reminded of the rabies virus in these regards, which infects its host (am thinking, for ex., raccoon) to become aggressive and thirsty which microscopic virus infection leads the raccoon to bite another mammal, thus spreading the virus - or meme, perchance. It's a vivid example. 
Here's Dawkins who, I think, coined the word meme re gene in his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene" (p. 12?) - 
"Memes should be regarded as living structures, not just metaphorically but technically," writes Dawkins in "The Selfish Gene". "When you plant a fertile meme in my mind, you literally parasitize my brain, turning it into a vehicle for the meme's propagation in just the way that a virus may parasitize the genetic mechanism of a host cell. And this isn't just a way of talking -- the meme for, say, 'belief in life after death' is actually realized physically, millions of times over, as a structure in the nervous systems of people all over the world."
I'm not clear in the information age how social media memes could be newly studied "not just metaphorically but technically," but it's something  MIT OCW-centric wiki World University & School (in all 7111 known living languages) would like to examine re developing a single realistic virtual earth for brain science too - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/brain-and-cognitive-sciences/  (and at the cellular and atomic levels - am thinking Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth with TensorFlow, with avatar bots for species and their brains). In what ways could we begin to see how ideas in the brain stimulate neural firing - and with brain wave headsets, and dreadlock EEG headsets, for example, to begin - and from in front of our computers, especially? And for example here - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click .

Karine Nahon, in her recent book Going Viral (http://www.amazon.com/Going-Viral-Karine-Nahon/dp/0745671292) describes the constant process of virality in networked communication. In the movement context, anything you start in one place has the possibility of emerging in other locations. “Tunisia is the Solution” was a slogan across the Arab uprisings. The old slogan was “Islam is the solution.” In Syria people rose up saying “We’ll do it like in Egypt.” In Bahrain, the same: replicating.

Hi Gohar, and AoIR,

Thanks for your email as well an hour ago. I've explored this a bit in this blog entry - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/red-eyed-treefrog-significance-of.html - and loosely too in relation to ideas about consciousness (as awareness in a western Philosophy of Mind sense, but in other ways as well), and in the 'meme' label here.

How consciousness as awareness 'works' in brain (s) with processes of virality in social media is another related interesting question.

Memorial flowers for Gordon at the church today from the three of us
Scott MacLeod
9:48 AM (4 minutes ago)
to Janie, Sandy

Hi Ma, and Sandy,

Thought I might send these ideas to you, Ma, in the 'writing' email thread, but I think I'll do so in this thread.

Re consciousness, I think both in writing, as well as in talk psychotherapy, awareness emerges and that this can be so edifying. (Am exploring consciousness questions these days some - and am exploring even beginning teaching Yoga again here in Canyon on a Saturday or Sunday morning). Appreciating what we can learn from becoming conscious.

With writing, when a writer helps make a reader aware of something one hadn't thought of before, this can be fascinating, and perhaps a reason why people read even. (Am appreciative too of the freedom of the press in this country, and the legacy of libraries here and around the world - as well as the myriad of books there are these days. C'est incroyable! ... looked up etymology - https://www.etymonline.com/word/incro... - so I looked up its meaning in English - : "too extraordinary and improbable to be believed").

With (licensed by state) psychotherapy (eg Lacanian psychoanalysis combined with John Money's writings too?), becoming conscious of something can lead to changing a behavior (which could be problematic for oneself or to others), or ways of thinking or feeling.

Yoga has long had a focus on consciousness too, but it's mired in conceptions of the divine, and religious narratives from India, and, yet, it also includes ideas for becoming aware or sentient, and even for creating well-being of consciousness. Am also appreciative that in India (historically too), philosophical questions of consciousness are bound with, in one way or another, moral or ethical questions, and in terms of well-being too (and I write this from California).

In my ongoing thinking about consciousness re questions in philosophy, (western philosophy of Mind, it's sometimes called), am aware of how challenging it is at this point to explain awareness knowledgeably, scientifically, - personally or subjectively too - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/chameleon-vision-poem-to-dance-or-pools.html?m=0. And am appreciative too that people are thinking rigorously about these questions.

Re Dad, am appreciative too that after he was impaired in Belize with the first (and then second! spontaneous) subdural hematoma, that we did Yoga together in Pittsburgh, and that he was able to find a state of meditation (eg he elicited the relaxation response) ... a kind of ease of consciousness.

So, am appreciative once again, Ma, of your sharing these flowers in memory of Dad - re consciousness in these regards too - and on behalf of the 3 of us, and in the Unitarian church, where Dad's memorial was held. Thank you.

Just some thoughts about consciousness on a Thursday morning in December :) Am hoping you're both having good weeks.


Love, Scott

Hi Ma,

Are you doing alright? How are you?

I think I have ethics' inquiries heading in about 8 directions now (some of which I've touched on in this blog), having 'whistle-blown' in these regards in recent years. Cosmic Skeptic Atheist Alex (an Oxford graduate student in theology as an atheist, interestingly) helped focus some of these questions in recent weeks further for me (and re CA Quakers esp.), & re questions of somehow right and wrong ... and out here in curious California ... (and with an unfolding actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project continuing to develop as well - mostly in my blog these days). Blogged a bit after emailing the Nontheist Friends' email list about addressing, or thinking about, (LG...?) wrongdoing recently ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/dolphin-playful-species-take-me-to.html?m=0 (but 'ethics' isn't a label here ... since I keep running out of label space:). How to generate an ethics' conversation further at Stanford, 125 years into its history, for example (or in California too), I'm not sure I want to get into, but .. seeking to help protect potential victims (of the sex trade, for example) has much much merit, beyond questions of law, and scofflaws too ... curious world we live in ... I think it's the negative vortex (rogue-like?) aspects of culture in California which open possibilities for change and even learning or education ... and hippy counterculture, for example, probably happens any way ... and re further ethnographic research ahead? Am aware too that the Dutch address ethical questions as an identity or people differently from the English (Alex) from people in India, from peoples and nationalities with intense and in depth philosophical examinations of ethical questions. Am appreciative in these regards too of living in California (my ethnography writing, and thinking in general, at times goes to 'place' in my analysis in these regards ... perhaps to Richard Rorty in terms of ethics - https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rorty/ - as well, and re his liberalism, his focus on social justice, appreciative too of Rorty's 'social gospel' thinking from his mother's father - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Rorty).

Looks like I'll have a lesson with Finlay on Wednesday in a week, I'm glad to say. Working on finishing up publishing my poetry book, - and may head to 4 free museums today in SF - https://sf.funcheap.com/city-guide/monthly-free-museum-days/. Time too to start playing a lot before 12/11/19, and after playing yesterday evening in Open Band, for example .... still seeking to bring my vision for "Honey in the Bag" album, and inspired daily playing, further into focus :)

What are you up to this week? Anyway ... :)

Love, Scott


Interesting name for a museum (given California's possible legacy of what I'll call, and perhaps have observed, rogue-like ethics, but perhaps as aspiration and linguistically, it's worth thinking about further ... :)

Good morning, Ma!

Very nice to talk last night again - and also about recording my upcoming of "Honey in the Bag" Scottish small pipes' album ... how to record without the bellow's sounds is an interesting question.

Added about 10 more poems from 2011 to my now nearing complete poetry book manuscript "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! .... " (2019) last night. So my manuscript is now about 146 pages long, longer than last years' book "Winding Road Rainbow" (2018) of about 100 pages ... Have drafted the Forward too, as well as some of the information at the back of the book. Almost ready to send manuscript to the Academic Press at World University and School for printing / publishing via KDP ... http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html ... This volume will then include my poems from 2010 and 2011, whereas "Winding Road Rainbow ... " (2018) included most poems from 2008-2009, I think. And "Haiku-ish ... " (2017) included all of my short sweet Haiku~ish (of course:)! As I now read through this manuscript for the following themes ~Harbin, ~ virtual reality, and ~sequencing of poems, possibly as journey, - potentially too as VR develops with regards to how one might experience each poem (written in 2010-2011) newly in VR Glasses, for example :) These are interesting innovation ideas, as
well as some poems in these regards too.

Explore becoming friends? - if I spend more time in Cambridge, MA, in the New Year at Harvard and MIT, with
Eric Schilling and Zoe Bentley -

To help grow World Univ & Sch? -
Brittany Bir -

https://youtu.be/TFN1SztNdr4
(Am meeting on Wednesday 12/11 at Schoolab's offices' Grand Opening in SF from 11-11, for a welcoming CEOs Jean-Claude Charlet and Matthieu Aguesse ... with great day long opportunities to talk with many Schoolab people about World Univ & Sch as well).

Here I be at Magnussen's Toyota Palo Alto and getting a 5000 mile service, on a 4th generation Prius c car that's working pretty well.

What are you up to today and for the rest of the week? (Will likely blog again partly about ethics!)

Love,
Scott

I've just added my mother's photo in front of the Magna Carta monument to this blog post as well.

Mark, brainstorming-wise, and re DNA in WikiTree, I haven't looked into this, but DNA Ancestry seems to do DNA samples well (as confusing as DNA can be, as well as brainstorming too, sometimes ... blog reads 'up':)!

Am not sure how WikiTree does with genetic samples, but they continue to have a stated goal of a single family tree (presumably for 7.5 billion people, and World Univ & Sch seeks to help with a Wikidata Q-item # for everyone, for a variety of other reasons too).

More developments, and individuals, from the Chadbourne line, I've discovered here in WikiTree ...

The Tudor symbolism of the horse harness certainly would not have been missed by Lt. Chadbourne’s wife, Sarah Bolles Chadbourne, who was a descendant of King Edward I (1272-1307). Sarah’s father, Joseph, was a gentleman, born at his parent’s estate of Oberton Manor, in Nottinghamshire, and one of the few gentlemen to take up residence in Maine. Joseph had been an early immigrant, a high office holder and a leading citizen of Wells. Bolles’s daughters were probably the only young ladies in Maine of known royal descent.  Humphrey Jr.’s marriage to one of the Bolles girls bolstered the claim of gentle status for himself and his descendants. The marriage also allied him with another prominent merchant family, for Sarah’s oldest sister was married to Major Charles Frost, another of the leading magistrates and merchants in southern Maine.

Hi All, Universitians,

I hope this 2 Dec 2019 LightStream email finds you well. I'm a newby at LightStream video streaming which also Live Streams to Youtube, and LightStream appears to be in Beta too. But both Youtube recordings for today are here, however:

Hi Peter, Fritz, Kunal Shankar, and Universitians,

Monday morning Open WUaS Hangouts / News / Q & A at 10 am PT are working again!
World Univ & Sch is recording successfully to YouTube again - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch - and thanks much to Peter Bothe for helping to set up the LightStream video streaming platform for this. And thanks, Fritz, for your connecting today re conversation. (Check out too Fritz's Quaker connections at bottom of today's blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/vercors-massif-open-wuas-news-q-2.html - which has much too about these WUaS Youtube developments including the 3 recent WUaS LightStreams-to-Youtube from this Monday and last, - which now work! :) (World Univ & Sch is a bit Friendly or Quaker-informed). 
Recording to Youtube video is excellent for out-reach as well as branding. And I just re-Tweeted at WUaS Kunal Shankar's recent "The Hindu" - 

Good analysis of Dravida politics and the ongoing changes https://t.co/Qnw20Ub8Py— Kunal Shankar (@kunalshankar) November 30, 2019

https://twitter.com/kunalshankar/status/1200645961350926336?s=20 - partly about branding to - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch. I met Kunal in the Berkeley Claremont public library recently, and he's a journalist, a researcher out of Columbia University's Journalism school in NYC, with a recent degree from there, and originally from India, living now in Berkeley with his wife. Kunal, and All, would you like to join a WUaS Monday morning News / Q&A / Hangout soon-ish? 
Cheers, Scott- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/vercors-massif-open-wuas-news-q-2.html - 
See, too, the 'global university' label in my daily blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university?m=0 ...

Hi All,

Here's the link to the Livestream beginning now - https://studio.golightstream.com/greenroom/2XuwrppdTQ

WUaS News Q & A is still very much the Hangout idea. Fritz will participate today in the Livestream, and asks some good questions (below) where I respond as well.

Scott


...

Hi Scott,

Thank you for the great NEWS about LiveStream!

Here is a thought that was triggered from a good friend of mine in Grenoble who asked me if I could also participate in creating a new constitution! I would most likely be interested if we can imagine a constitution that embraces the ‘undeniably’ ongoing digital transformation as a wonderfully enabling toolset.

(Question:) How could we develop educational means that let many people become really curious about developing a 'digital serious game' proposing a virtual constitution the can be simulated with millions of open-minded as well as 'not-so-open-minded’ people (often guided by a more conservative mindset) to figure out the best possible dynamics of such a new constitution with the objective of ‘creating a truly sustainable human future for ALL’ people on our precious planet?

By the way, there is a 90+ percent chance that I can participate in today’s livestream… I would love to receive an invitation.

Cheers,
Fritz


...

Hi Fritz,

I'll send you the live stream link I know of from LightStream which I'm a newby in. And let's take it from there.

I'm familiar with Barlow's "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" - https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence - and think it hints at why the Internet in all ~200 countries hasn't adopted a Constitution yet. From the course I teach "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - I think this also has to do with how the information age and the Internet have developed since, say, the 1950s, and chips. If we are able, let's explore examples of games that came before which might be precursors to the game you have in mind. (By way of comparison, I don't think of Wikipedia in its ~300 languages with millions of people, or any of its technologies, like Reasonator as a game, for example, and while there is one Wikidata/Wikipedia game I known, it hasn't gained that much traction yet). Will begin streaming in 15 minutes.

Cheers, Scott




* *

My pleasure, Scott,

Yes, we somehow have to understand how you can 'let the participants in' and show up in the smaller video windows on the right of the main video window where you showed up. Is this perhaps a new path we could explore offline together?


On the other hand, it looks like the YouTube link below is complete.


I hope this 2 Dec 2019 LightStream email finds you well. I'm a newby at LightStream video streaming which also Live Streams to Youtube, and LightStream appears to be in Beta too. But both Youtube recordings for today are here, however: 
World Univ & Sch 2 Dec 2019 Q & A and News - Bachelor, Ph.D., Law & Innovative Medical Schools https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ikT9HpG8c

Hi Fritz, and Peter, (and Larry),

Glad you saw, Fritz, that I bring up your question at about the 9 minute mark here -
World Univ & Sch 2 Dec 2019 Q & A and News - Bachelor, Ph.D., Law & Innovative Medical Schools
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ikT9HpG8c

To invite you into LightStream at some point in the future, I think I need to choose 'scene 2' in LIghtStream, which I set up some weeks ago thanks to Peter Bothe, but haven't used before. Am not sure how I'd invite your video stream for this, for example, into my LightStream 'scene 2' in these regards. Will seek to do this, and then perhaps we can test it in a few Mondays.

Have a good conference in Grenoble, France, next week.

Here by the way are MIT OCW Sloan School of Management courses - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management/ - which WUaS will build its undergraduate class's free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric Bachelor degrees on. Please keep in mind finding French and German online students who might be interested in an online Business degree first in English at WUaS. You'll find the initial courses WUaS is planning to offer here in the Course Catalog - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/.

(What brought you to William Penn Charter School in 1976 in the first place? What Quaker contacts in Germany, Fritz, or similar, if I might ask? )

Cheers,
Scott

12:45 PM (3 hours ago)
to Susan, Derrick, Edith, Sandy, Susan, Karen, Alden, Janie, Scott, Ann, catherinemuller57, Pete, Jennifer, Jen, Scott, MacLeod

Susan, Derrick, and Mark, and family all,

Susan, thanks so much for your wonderful care package of your book and DVD et al. I enjoyed your smart, hi-jinx, southern, skillfully-enacted theatrical explorations of your art and artistic vision on DVD at the Berkeley Claremont public library very much (and appreciate too what people say about it here - https://www.susanharvey.com/quotes3.html).

Derrick, Mark and all - I came across some Youtube videos (below) about Robert the Bruce today, which lead me to further explorations of an ancestor, I think, of some of us, Edward I of England (1239- 1307) of Magna Carta history (more videos below). As I understand it, it's through one of his progenitors, Sarah Bolles, and I think this is her Wikitree page - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bolles-66 (and I haven't yet looked recently, again, for Sarah Bolles' Ancestry.com page, Mark) - who married a Humphrey Chadbourne, that this family history exists - so, through the Chadbourne line (and my grandfather, Alexander Chadbourne Brown, who was Janie's father, and Alden's uncle). Both Humphrey, and son William Chadbourne, came to Maine in the early 1600s, one of them on the ship the Pied Cowe. (Looking for ever-improving history here - please read all this with a critical thinking historical minds:). I also haven't yet updated my related family history pages I've mentioned in this thread a few times, but will eventually. The 3rd Robert the Bruce video explores what I hope World Univ & Sch will help to facilitate in terms of a single realistic virtual earth for history and for STEM and everything, ever improving.

Interesting documentary I just watched (touching further on some of the above):
Edward I Documentary - Biography of the life of Edward Longshanks King of England

https://youtu.be/uBd3-GI2jaQ (Brief but interesting characterization of the Auld Alliance between France & Scotland here, around Edward I ... )

I've attached a photo of my mother Janet Kirkbride Brown MacLeod (one of this email's addressees) at the Magna Carta monument in England west of London from a trip she took in 2014.

My next and fourth book, "To the Dance or the Pools? Virtually!," of poetry, will be published soon - https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity - I'm glad to say, but visiting virtual Harbin Hot Springs doesn't seem like it will coincide with this book's publication (in the Academic Press at World University and School).

Happy first of December / Advent, and with very best wishes, Scott



Here too are the Minutes from the Annual Meeting for World University and School -

- for your enjoyment.

And please check the 'longevity' label in my blog from time to time, and, for example, yesterday's blog post with regards to a potentially revolutionary gene sequencing platform, which is fascinating in these 'longevity' regards  ...

WUaS - World University and School

to Nontheist-Friends

Glad we're keeping the friendly Quaker language of Thee and Thou in this unfolding Quaker Atheist too conversation, re - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/16/opinion/sunday/pronouns-quakers.html - and especially with a focus on language, and civility too. In my experience, Friends/Quakers have invented, adopted and developed language to create their own sub-culture (e.g. First Day for Sunday, Meeting for congregation, Meeting House for Church, etc., which language I've mentioned before too among email NtFs), and which also opens possibilities for non-theistic Friends / atheist Quakers in new generative unfolding ways.

When Oxford Professor Bejan writes: "One might expect principled egalitarians like the Quakers to celebrate a linguistic process whereby all social ranks experienced an increase in dignity," I wonder too, to use her "Trans" example, how to defend against wrongdoing by LGBTQ in their new found 'power,' since Quaker distributed egalitarianism in Meetings can be co-opted and misused etc. to the harm of individuals and sub-groups, and in the name of religion via Meetings' religiosity. I think NtFs who may be thinking about such questions, and civilly too, may have an opportunity to add language to this conversation re both Quakers and Meetings, and re the alternative Friendly thinking re non-theism or atheism.

Appreciating, too, the linguistic legacy of Friendly and civil conscientious objection, and 'speaking truth to power' - in addition to thee-ing and thou-ing - with regard to possible cultural or societal developments, say, since Stonewall in the 1960s - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewa... - and after its societal openings, - and when the LGTBQ community may be creating harm, for example (which I emailed A.B. on this list, and a number of other Friends) yesterday about. (Seems like networking civilly, and social movements too, against wrongdoing - as well as bringing in the law - might be a way, re Castells' book "Networks of Outrage and Hope," for example).

Thanks for sharing the article, and glad the NtF emailing list is an expression itself perchance of NtFriendly Theeing and Thouing as well.

NtFriendly greetings, Scott

Hi Ma and Ed,

Fascinating from Harvard Genetics' Professor George Church - a gene sequencer we may be able to use from home, like a personal computer, or a smartphone, to sequence our own genome (not sure how it would work with other species) - and with its own chip (by one of his students, and soon to be publicly available):

And here's a MIT Tech Review article with a Spanish scientist at UCSD, I think, who thinks we may be able to extend life span presumably past 122 another 30-50 years :

This scientist believes he has found the elixir of life, and thinks we can extend human life span by another 30 to 50 years, at least.
