to ahesse, me

Hi Amy,

Thanks for your email. How about Brian Martin MD as interviewee? He was to your right in the RCA session on the 14th September (where I was to your left). I'd be interested in cultivating further diversity in these regards re Reed RCA interviews (as well as re possible WUaS related collaborative explorations). I appreciate Brain's knowledge, smarts and communication skills. My interviewing can be found here - https://youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch and http://scottmacleod.com/papers.htm - to begin. There's one with an undergraduate student, Tanya, in CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School's first matriculating class that's fairly recent. And from about 2013, there are some startup board WUaS conversations, one or two with Gerd Moe-Behrens in Germany, who's interested in synthetic biology, and is also an Apple developer. (I began this wiki subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Synthetic_Biology - with Gerd in mind actually, and have only added a very few MIT OCW courses; there are probably further courses to add as well, for ex.!). Interviewing Gerd newly could have merit, for example. Chris Garrett could be interesting to interview as well in these regards (from the Reed Legal Network Panel we both attended). I've mostly e-interviewed in Google Hangouts recording to Youtube, but Google group video Hangouts recently closed, so I'm seeking new video-conferencing to Youtube recording opportunities. The audio of video-conferencing and Youtube is fine in my experience, if one's not recording music (which I've done eg here - https://www.youtube.com/user/sgkmacleod - not as interviews, but I'd be interested in exploring recording career-related interviews with musicians making music as well - and together over the internet). I'd welcome guidance in all these regards as well.

Here too are some related wiki subject pages at WUaS, in various stages of development which might be helpful to the RCA:

And I just updated the "World University and School Links" section here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Career_counseling - with the above.

Yes, I'd be interested in joining the Reed RCA call tomorrow (at this email address - info@worlduniversityandschool.org) to learn more about what the RCA is about and where it's heading. Would be interested in exploring interviewing especially re Reed-World University and School collaboration potentials. Here's one place we could add interviews - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Career_counseling (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects). Will you be in this call?

Very nice to have met and shared some meetings / ideas together at Reed FAR recently as well.

Dear NtFs,

They're both brilliant -

Richard Dawkins | Outgrowing God | On Atheism, Ethics, and Theology

https://youtu.be/tsLEf1Uwb5o

- and while Alex O'Connor is from Oxford and is now going to Oxford as a Ph.D. student, Richard Dawkins is from Kenya, Africa, but seemingly from Oxford too, is an emeritus Oxford fellow, and was an Oxford professor as well. Am particularly interested in their communication style, as well as their analysis of culture anthropologically, yet also a kind of non-theist yet theologically-centric kind of British analysis - re moral questions non atheistically and evolutionarily addressed.

They're non-theist yet theologically-centric, I'll call this, seeming to echo an approach Os Cresson and John Hunter and others here have brought up with regards to NtFs at FGC next year.

They seem further to legitimize somehow societally non-theism, but from a British perspective. Not sure what "society" - possibly intellectually here but more broadly as well - means in America these days. :)

NtFs,

Dawkins lived in Berkeley for a year or two around 1976, was a researcher - appreciating the radical hippy way of thinking that comes through pretty often in his communications - atheist evolution, NtF-wise.

Scott
PS
I don't lnow if he ever made it up to Harbin Hot Springs, but it wouldn't surprise me. UC Berkeley Anthropology professor emeritus Nelson Graburn, also English, at Berkeley since 1964, wrote the Forward to my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" actual-virtual comparative anthropology (and Rosemary Coffey edited the first 1.5 of 9 chapters - thanks again), and Dawkins and Graburn are Berkeley birds of a feather ...

Dear NtFs,

It turns out Richard Dawkins lived in Berkeley from 1967-1969 (not around 1976) - a very heightened time after the free speech movement (64-65), and a time I'm interested academically, as well as in a realistic virtual earth for history - (and Dawkins wrote his significant book "The Selfish Gene" in 1976):

"From 1967 to 1969, he was an assistant professor of zoology at the University of California, Berkeley. During this period, the students and faculty at UC Berkeley were largely opposed to the ongoing Vietnam War, and Dawkins became involved in the anti-war demonstrations and activities.[46] He returned to the University of Oxford in 1970 as a lecturer. In 1990, ..."

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

(I was a Reader at UC Berkeley in 2000-2001).

Not sure what Dawkins is referring to in his Twitter profile -
" .... RTs don't imply endorsement, nor exhaustive research of tweeter's CV"
https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins

 ... but I'm adding my CV below :)

NtFs,

Dawkins lived in Berkeley for a year or two around 1976, was a researcher - appreciating the radical hippy way of thinking that comes through pretty often in his communications - atheist evolution, NtF-wise.

PS
I don't lnow if he ever made it up to Harbin Hot Springs, but it wouldn't surprise me. UC Berkeley Anthropology professor emeritus Nelson Graburn, also English, at Berkeley since 1964, wrote the Forward to my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" actual-virtual comparative anthropology (and Rosemary Coffey edited the first 1.5 of 9 chapters - thanks again), and Dawkins and Graburn are Berkeley birds of a feather ...

Dear NtFs,

It turns out Richard Dawkins lived in Berkeley from 1967-1969 (not around 1976) - a very heightened time after the free speech movement (64-65), and a time I'm interested academically, as well as in a realistic virtual earth for history - (and Dawkins wrote his significant book "The Selfish Gene" in 1976):

"From 1967 to 1969, he was an assistant professor of zoology at the University of California, Berkeley. During this period, the students and faculty at UC Berkeley were largely opposed to the ongoing Vietnam War, and Dawkins became involved in the anti-war demonstrations and activities.[46] He returned to the University of Oxford in 1970 as a lecturer. In 1990, ..."

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

(I was a Reader at UC Berkeley in 2000-2001).

Not sure what Dawkins is referring to in his Twitter profile -
" .... RTs don't imply endorsement, nor exhaustive research of tweeter's CV"
https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins

 ... but I'm adding my CV below :)

Non-theistically Friendly/Quakerly greetings,

Am glad my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book is in this Anthropology library's collection - and thanks again for writing its 'Forward.'

I'd be interested in teaching a course on actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnography - and perhaps at both Berkeley (as well as UCSB - online?)

Tym! 
What is the Oregon dream or vision or similar for you - and since the 1960s and '70s, since when we met there (at Reed in 1979, I think), but also before this (ie re Oregon Trail ... as a journey, a place of opportunity, western freedom in US even, I'd suggest)? The musical group 'Oregon' beginning in 1970 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_(band) - expresses some of this for me in far-reaching ways. And I explore this some too in my blog in the 'Oregon' label - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Oregon (see the Reed College label, as well - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Reed%20College) and part of my Oregon vision finds form in my visiting my Uncle Ted and Aunt Mary Brown in eastern Oregon on their Wisdom Creek Ranch, which they first got in 1959, after attending the Quaker college, Earlham in Indiana, and with my uncle Ted growing up in Ohio (with his parents both having roots in Boulder, Colorado - another place of western US vision (ie near where the 1st Rainbow gathering happened in around 1973 - see multiple 'Rainbow Gathering' labels in my blog too re all for this). 
Am listening the Grateful Dead just now from 1988 in Hampton Virginia, - https://youtu.be/-uYVPvtLan0 and although I pretty much only like the Dead from 1965-1979, there are a couple of good shows which 'take me there' like this one .... Just searched on how often the Grateful Dead played at the Oregon Country Fair - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Country_Fair - another expression of this Oregon dream for me ... did you ever go in the early '80s? - and will look into this ffuurrttheerr. :)
Oregon for you? :)
Warmest regards, Scotty

Tym!

These are great too, especially the last beauty of a piece (around 40 minutes) they play, with Trilok Gurtu singing a kind of mouth music or percussion (India-informed) ..
Oregon - Jazzgipfel Stuttgart 1993
https://youtu.be/BBsmdYaKYhI

Ralph Towner - classical & 12-string guitars, pianos & synthesizers
Paul McCandless - oboe, bass clarinet, soprano & sopranino saxes, whistles
Glen Moore - double-bass
Trilok Gurtu - percussion


(Just beginning to listen, has much potential: Oregon (Towner, Walcott, McCandless, Moore) - Berliner Jazztage 1980 [radio broadcast]
https://youtu.be/I8A4be54Pko )

Warmly, Scotty

Hey Tym,
Just found a new Youtube video of Oregon playing from 1975 -
https://youtu.be/rCwswfIeD0c - which is great. They tune into each other musically so well. Do you listen to Oregon very much these days at all? (Was just in Portland, OR, the weekend before last at Reed FAR).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_(band) ... there's a slight resemblance between you in the early 1980s and Paul McCandless here in 1975, to say the least :)

Found these awhile back too - :)

Am assuming too you received my email to you and Larry and friends this morning as well.

Hearing 'Oregon' is a bit of a holiday for me :)

Love, Scott

Hey Tym,Just found ... 
"In August 1972 and August 1982, OCF hosted concerts headlined by the Grateful Dead. Known as "Field Trips" ...." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Country_Fair) OCF is Oregon Country Fair ... :) ... it's great that Wikipedia got these GD gigs at the OCF down ....

Now how best to head to Oregon in the 1970s re a kind of Oregon vision ... in a realistic virtual earth ? ... but probably not in a realistic virtual Harbin since this would be in virtual California :) ... and in a great realistic virtual earth for history ...
I've never been to Breitenbush Hot Springs in the Oregon Cascades ... would be great to soak in its pools in a realistic virtual earth in the 1970s even ... and from home bath tub :) (which is what I'm seeking to create with my actual-virtual physical digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project :)
Love, Scotty


Have you ever visited Breitenbush Hot Springs in Oregon? Am liking the photos I'm seeing here in Street View, but I haven't been there yet actually -  https://www.google.com/maps/place/Breitenbush+Hot+Springs+Retreat+and+Conference+Center/@44.7814124,-121.9758287,15z/data=!4m8!3m7!1s0x0:0xe74d6736a2e2b854!5m2!4m1!1i2!8m2!3d44.7814124!4d-121.9758287 (first time I've seen such good photos of the place, and gotten a good sense of it, having looked before online :)
So then I looked up Alpha Farm Deadwood Oregon, which Susan and I visited together (and which I explore numerous times in my blog), and found this in Street View - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Alpha+Farm+Co-Op+Inc/@44.160437,-123.70174,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x15294d5749a4f92b!8m2!3d44.160437!4d-123.70174 - with not such great photos yet ... can't get a sense of the place with these ... :)
(Have blogged some about Ursula K. Le Guin ... and speak of envisioners, who lived in Portland, Oregon, for much of her later life ... a documentary film about her by Arwen Curry will be showing at the main Berkeley Public Library for a 2nd time on October 26th ... ... which information just came through in email ... have you already seen this?)Just going on a bit about Oregon :) (There are many other sides re 'realism' in Oregon that don't gibe here :)

Nice again to talk last night. Thanks for sharing ...

Appreciating Angela & Victor's teaching style which is playful, emotionally freeing and deeply personal ... may seek to explore this further

Minute 1
World Univ & Sch continues to seek the initial $5000 funding for state of California's BPPE (Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education) funding (and monies for BPPE fees annually hereafter), in order to matriculate of 2nd online free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric undergraduate class in 2020 at now licensing WUaS. 
Donations welcome - https://www.guidestar.org/profile/27-3105368



Minute 2
In writing to the incoming President of Shady Side Academy, Bartley Griffith, and re MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch, seeks to not only explore giving at talk to students at Shady Side  (high school in Pittsburgh, PA) but also to develop, in conversation with SSA, the College at WUaS for Shady Side Academy graduates (as well as for the Fettes College graduates, a high school in Scotland) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - with students studying from their own homes. 

WUaS will seek to offer to volunteer on the Shady Side Academy BOV (Board of Visitors' committee) or similar, and will further explore developing these collaborations

  
Minute 3
World Univ & Sch seeks to develop first both a California Law Sch at WUaS, and an Oregon Law School at WUaS and with time in + 48 more states for ACCESSIBILITY to Law,  plus, to begin, an Iran Law School at World Univ & Sch + approximately 205 further online Law Schools in countries' languages beginning with this template - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School and with academic Law Presses in these languages - @WUaSPress See, especially: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/saffron-how-to-begin-iran-law-school-at.html?m=0 ~
(https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1174056215447400448)

In California, WUaS will explore licensing with https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Admissions/Law-School-Regulation/Law-Schools like the following "Registered unaccredited distance learning law schools in California" ... 

"The following institutions are currently registered by the State Bar's Committee of Bar Examiners as unaccredited distance-learning law schools. A distance-learning law school is a law school that conducts instruction and provides interactive classes principally by technological means.

Minute 4
With regards to 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item at https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University
 - WUaS seeks to

Re WUaS planning for 7.5 billion living people, each a Wikidata Q item,  World Univ & Sch which is already in Wikidata is seeking to code for all people on the planet 3 initial reasons, to begin: 


i) registering / matriculating students for free highest quality universal education with online major MIT OCW-centric (in its 5 languages) universities in ~200 countries' main languages, and wiki schools for open teaching in each of all 7,111 known living languages (plus wiki schools for all extinct languages as well), where Wikipedia is in ~300 languages

ii) facilitating 'Avatar bot electronic medical records' for all 7.5 billion people.

iii) exploring facilitating a single cryptocurrency with blockchain, distributed potentially via Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (partly to alleviate poverty) ... to all 7.5 billion people 



So, 

i) registering / matriculating students for free highest quality universal education with online major MIT OCW-centric (in its 5 languages) universities in ~200 countries' main languages, and wiki schools for open teaching in each of all 7,111 known living languages (plus wiki schools for all extinct languages as well), where Wikipedia/Wikidata/Wikibase is in ~300 languages


Planning ~200 online MIT OCW-centric undergraduates colleges (thinking Oxbridge / MIT too) -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School

and then Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school degrees.



Minute 5
Again, with regards to 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University
 - WUaS seeks to





ii) facilitate 'Avatar bot electronic medical records' for all 7.5 billion people.

Planning ~200 online MIT OCW-centric Medical Schools in countries' official languages - 
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with degrees and graduates -

and ~200 online teaching hospitals -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital



These 'avatar bot electronic medical records' would serve medical doctors, tele-robotic medical surgeons (MDs) including, for example, for billing in medical systems), and medical scientific researchers, as well as patients and end users for medical information arbitrage. Think Google / Alphabet, Stanford / Duke University's Project Baseline into avatar bots, with Kaiser Permanente patient medical records (and even re DrWeil.com, PubMed, WebMD and NIH, including especially Google Search for researching one's own, or a friend's, medical conditions).



Minute 6

And again, with regards to 7.5 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University

 - WUaS seeks to 

iii) facilitate a single cryptocurrency with blockchain, distributed potentially via Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (partly to alleviate poverty) ... again coding-wise planning for all 7.5 billion people

See, too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/lake-mashu-japan-wikidata-googles-stake.html



Minute 7 

Information technologies, and robotics ... 


In partly a Google-centric coding environment, WUaS is seeking for the above to emerge for 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q item, - as well as in a single realistic virtual earth for online WUaS Medical Schools, teaching hospitals, online tele-robotics surgery, and especially for information technology management developments, and 

A) Re Google's Quantum Supremacy - https://news.bitcoin.com/what-googles-quantum-breakthrough-means-for-blockchain-cryptography/ - which seems to be an advantage here with regards to Google's financial stake in Wikidata, as does potentially planning for similar UBI experiments, brainstorming-wise, with a new CryptoCurrency called Pi, created by some Stanford Ph.D.s, see - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/aquatic-plant-mine-pi-from-faqs-what-is.html ... Google's and Stanford's collaborations run deep knowledge-wise (which is are networks WUaS seeks to collaborate in far-reaching ways further with as well) ... and with regard to building up modular-wise to 7.5 billion for Universal Basic Income experiments also to distribute a SINGLE cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks ... to alleviate poverty for one.


B)  With regards to a realistic virtual earth for management, see:

A #RealisticVirtualEarthForSurgery re @WorldUnivAndSch online Med Schs https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School & teaching /Hospital s #RealisticVirtualEarthForManagement & MIT OCW's Sloan School of Management https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management 2 wings for flying> https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html for #ActualVirtual ~

- https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1174496886717157376 -


C)
In developing a realistic virtual earth for management, WUaS is seeking to collaborate with HOSPITALS in many countries re digitizing medicine, and hospital procedures. 

For example, WUaS would seek collaboration with
Other hospitals in the University of California medical system, such as UCSF, beyond Stanford's 2 hospitals, as well as with the Kaiser Permanente system in many US states, for online capabilities.


D)
In recent communication with Alex MacDonald, NASA Administrator, whom I met through a MIT Media Lab panel - 
MLTalks—To the Moon to Stay | From the Moon with Love (Thursday July 25, 2019)
https://www.media.mit.edu/events/from-the-moon-with-love/ - 
WUaS is exploring, brainstorming-wise, a realistic virtual universe, for actual-virtual, physical-digital STEM research and at the cellular and atomic levels too, as well as actual-virtual, physical-digital Lego Robotics (thinking Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, and with avatar bots) and with developments in Brick Street View in Google Street View for Lego Robotics (see E below too).


WUaS is also in communication NASA AMES administrator, Rupak Biswas - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/newfoundland-seascape-stanford-talk-hpc.html (whom I met at Stanford) ... and to address such questions as follows: 


Where will a hypothetical quadrant A in universe go on which #supercomputer is 1 Question I have with regard to WUaS facilitating #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital #RealisticVirtualUniverse & for VIRTUAL Lego Robotics #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics ? https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/newfoundland-seascape-stanford-talk-hpc.html ~

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1175919311388459008



E) 
Lego Robotics and a realistic virtual earth / realistic virtual universe for the NASA voyage to Mars? 


Please keep in mind World University and School's plans to develop a realistic virtual universe for everything - at the cellular and atomic levels too - am thinking Google Street View with time slider (13.8 billion years of atoms is big data!) and for actual-virtual, physical-digital research, i.e. re the potential Mars voyage in the 2030s. And could we also send parallel Lego Robots to Mars in Brick Street View which is an overlay / hack on Google Street View from around 2014?

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1175150746230116354


a #RealisticVirtualUniverse for everything at cell & atom levels too i.e. re the potential Mars voyage in the 2030s? And could we also send parallel #LegoRobots to Mars in Brick StreetView+ which is an hack on Google StreetView from abt 2014? #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics ~

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1175151297814650880

Re Lego Robotics, am thinking Lego WeDo 2.0, Mindstorms EV3 and soon Lego SpikePrime for STEAM.



F)
Robotics from home at WUaS? (and eventually for undergraduate engineering degrees at  best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare WUAS, both actually-virtually, physically-digitally):


Enjoy making #Robots? With successful rollout of #Scratch 3.0 drag & drop programming language - with languages! - from MIT Media Lab this year, you can make Lego WeDo 2.0 Robots wI FREE Scratch from HOME https://youtu.be/XXQmcl9AK8s & https://youtu.be/BILWxHBYeOA > https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Robotics ~

Minute 8 

WUaS I.T. developments re strategy and Wikidata
World Univ & Sch is in communication with Wikidata / Wikibase about the following developments, in both Wikidata AND DBPedia with Linked Open Data, re the above: 

Re Wikidata strategy - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikid... - and "[Wikidata] Google's stake in Wikidata and Wikipedia," I wonder what role Google Tensor Flow, "an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning" (https://www.tensorflow.org/) is playing in these discussions? And especially in planning for medicine in a variety of ways and in a variety of languages, as well as genetics, in both Wikidata and DBPedia? (And since I can't curiously post to Wikidata email list, or to Wikimedia/Wikipedia sites - I'm emailing you all here). Google Tensor Flow could be significant to both 'strategy papers' as well as 'language' questions. (See, too, my comments re these strategy questions in "[Wikidata] Google's stake in Wikidata and Wikipedia" esp. re planning for 7.5 billion people each a Wikidata Q-item, and in the 3 ways WUaS is planning for initially - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/lake-mashu-japan-wikidata-googles-stake.html).




Minute 9 
World Univ & Sch seeks too, like Harvard President Derek Bok here, to address undergraduate education meeting challenges, and in ~200 countries' WUaS colleges in their main / official languages:


Derek Bok

Minute 10 
World University and School has an inquiry in to the Stanford faculty senate with regard to and ethics' investigation, and has not yet heard back anything in some months. 



Minute 11
How is World University and School (NtF) Quaker?



World Univ & Sch is Quaker-informed in these ways -
 http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/grand-canyon-how-is-world-univ-sch.html?m=0 - and re financial fiduciary responsibilities too.



Minute 12 
WUaS Corporation 


the WUaS Press / WUaS Corporation seeks to further delineate itself from World University and School, as 2 separate legal entities, brainstorming-wise, as a single cryptocurrency - such as "Mine Pi" or the 'Pi' digital currency, or the Pi Network - further emerges in some number of ~200 countries and their official languages. See - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/aquatic-plant-mine-pi-from-faqs-what-is.html ...

How will a potential single digital currency emerge on both wings of WUaS? And in the mean time, WUaS will focus on the US dollar in developing both wings, as an initial delineation. 






Sincerely, 
Scott

Lake Mashū, Japan: "[Wikidata] Google's stake in Wikidata and Wikipedia," Am curious how Wikidata could plan in its 300 languages re DBPedia "based on a Wikipedia in one language," and using your genetics' example, Markus, for genes of all 7.5 billion peop

Dear Sebastian, Markus, Peter, Denny, Wikidatans, All,

much appreciated. Will reply inline with > :
"Dear Scott,

you are describing a Linked Data idea. If you claim to create 7.5 Billion Wikidata Q's, please do so. I couldn't even create 2.2 million for all German companies.

> CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School which donated itself to Wikidata in 2015 for co-development, and received WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 as a consequence would like to lay "claim to create 7.5 Billion Wikidata Q's" - thank you - and re Linked Open(?) Data.


The integration paradigm with Wikidata does not scale. It is basically saying to copy all data in one place. The free hosting is nice, though.

> am wondering how to build and scale from Markus's "DBpedia EN has 32 people educated at the University ofLeipzig, whereas Wikidata has 1217" - and with regards to World University and School's seeking to begin building toward 7.5 billion people as Wikidata Q items with registered / matriculated students and "Universitians" - WUaS wiki learners and teachers, editors and volunteers - and focusing on 500-2000 undergraduates matriculating in English in 2020 for our 2nd undergraduate class as we proceed with licensing (BPPE) and accreditation (WASC).


DBpedia can do an ad-hoc integration over Linked Data, i.e. you take out the data that you need for your use case from the cloud, stored decentrally.

> Sounds good (https://wiki.dbpedia.org/publications/blog & https://wiki.dbpedia.org/why-is-dbpedia-so-important)


With the Databus, we are building tools where you can do exactly this type of integration with a few command lines based on downloadable files client-side, but still using Linked Data principles as integration paradigm.

> Great (https://wiki.dbpedia.org/blog/dbpedia-databus-–-transforming-linked-data-networked-data-economy)


All that you need are: Dump downloads, stable URIs, sameAs links and ontology mappings, the later two not necessarily created by yourself, but by other users.

> Sounds do-able


Regarding stable URIs: yes, if you want to follow the enumeration pattern like Wikidata's Q's that is fine.

> Good re "Regarding stable URIs" esp.


Regarding Google's involvement: LOD needs some improvements in tooling like the Databus is building, people don't want to do 7.5 Billion HTTP Requests, they want to just download it or the part they need. Hence I would like to compare integration power of Linked Data via DBpedia and Databus to the Google Knowledge Graph. My concern with Wikidata is that each person thinks about their Q's and looks at tiny snippets of data, preventing the formation of a larger thing, i.e. a worldwide open knowledge graph, so it is majorly derailing and slowing the Linked Data movement. Google keeps the branding.
> Re Google and planning for 7.5 billion living people, each a Wikidata Q item, to begin WUaS in Wikidata is seeking this for 3 initial reasons:  
1) registering / matriculating students for free highest quality universal education with online major MIT OCW-centric (in its 5 languages) universities in ~200 countries' main languages, and wiki schools for open teaching in each of all 7,111 known living languages (plus wiki schools for all extinct languages as well), where Wikipedia is in ~300 languages
2) 'Avatar bot electronic medical records' for all 7.5 billion people.

3) Exploring facilitating a single cryptocurrency with blockchain, distributed potentially via Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (partly to alleviate poverty) ... to all 7.5 billion people 
In exploring coding for this in Wikidata and re DBPedia re Linked Data, 
- https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2019/09/agenda-news-for-21-sep-2019-world-univ.html - and - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/xerochrysum-bracteatum-agenda-news-for.html.
Not only building out in a modular way  - eg 10,000 patients overnight in a hospital over the course of a year - eg with Markus's example of 1217 Leipzig degrees - and eventually aggregated, seems feasible, but I'm not a database coder or expert ... WUaS would seek to build out matriculating class by class for all 5 degrees - Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, and M.D. as well as I.B. high school/similar (https://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/) but also as planned in each of all ~200 countries as major online Universities, and in each of their languages (and indeed in each of all 7,111 known living languages eg for subjects in online clinical trials - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages)). The 7.5 billion and the 2.2 million German corporations' numbers may seem so large because the coding for scaling Wikidata & DBPedia for this isn't yet written in full (or begun).  
Re UBI EXPERIMENTS for some of 7.5 billion people initially, Google's Quantum Supremacy - https://news.bitcoin.com/what-googles-quantum-breakthrough-means-for-blockchain-cryptography/ - seems to be an advantage here in Google's stake in Wikidata, as does potentially planning for similar UBI experiments, brainstorming-wise, with a new CryptoCurrency called Pi, created by some Stanford Ph.D.s, see - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/aquatic-plant-mine-pi-from-faqs-what-is.html ... Google's and Stanford's collaborations run deep knowledge-wise (which is are networks WUaS seeks to collaborate in far-reaching ways further with as well) ... and with regard to building up modular-wise to 7.5 billion for Universal Basic Income experiments also to distribute a SINGLE cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks ... to alleviate poverty for one. 
Seems like Google's Knowledge Graph could play an integral role here as well. 
All the best, Scott

Kingsley, Sebastian, Markus, Houcemeddine and All, 
Am seeking to understand Wikidata and DBPedia further differentially with formulating some queries in English (but not yet in voice). How would I write the SPARQL queries in both Wikidata and DBPedia that would ask "How many published science fiction authors has Oxbridge graduated with degrees since 1920?" (and then perhaps Cambridge and Oxford independently) combined with "How many of these people have medical degrees?" How would queries in both of these differ in Wikidata and DBPedia? (I also have in mind online WUaS medical degrees here, Houcemeddine).

Am also thinking of making interoperable World University and School's "front end" WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki with our "back end" Wikidata / Wikibase
7.5 billion people here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University
Planning ~200 online MIT OCW-centric undergraduates colleges (thinking Oxbridge / MIT too) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School
Planning ~200 online MIT OCW-centric Medical Schools in countries' official languages -  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - with degrees and graduates. 

Could create datasets for all published Science Fiction writers and wiki add them - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Science_Fiction
re Wikidata_databases_and_ecosystems - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Wikidata_databases_and_ecosystems
Accessible from - the main /Subjects' page https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects
And re the main SUBJECT TEMPLATE - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE - which may become editable too in a visual editor, but less editable than the above perhaps. 
Cheers, Scottworlduniversityandschool.org

Hi Denny, Markus, Wikidatans,

Markus wrote re DBpedia:

Of course, it [methodological comparison between Wikidata and DBPedia] has to be fair, taking into account that DBpedia editions
are based on a Wikipedia in one language (hence is always missing
entities that Wikidata has). For example, I recently computed the
difference between the following two:

(1) The set of all pairs of ancestors that one can find by following
(paths of) parent relations on EN DBPedia.
(2) The set of all pairs of ancestors that one can find by following
(paths of) mother/father relations on Wikidata, but visiting only items
that are present in English Wikipedia.

Am curious how Wikidata could plan in its 300 languages re DBPedia "based on a Wikipedia in one language," and using your genetics' example, Markus, for genes of all 7.5 billion people on the planet (where every person could become a Wikidata Q item), and other species' individuals as well, and then for genetics of pairs going back as far as the evidence people could add and query about would take us. Am thinking in particular of another wiki project, the WikiTree project, which is developing potentially for all 7.5 billion people and related pairings,

the The Free Family Tree, growing stronger since 2008 ...
Together we're growing an accurate single family tree using DNA and traditional genealogical sources.

(e.g. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/MacLeod...)

Scott


I think such DBPedia data into a Wikidata-like environment could be invaluable to medicine as well as especially to the genetic engineering revolution taking place in universities around the world (and in so many other ways). Wikidata might benefit greatly from planning further for this.

And since Google has a stake in Wikidata per this thread, such genetic data could be vital to even projects like Alphabet's / Google's / Stanford University's / Duke University's Project Baseline which has a genetics' focus too - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/18/we... - and especially if and as this may be extended to all 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item and for genetic health questions.

Am not emailing the Wikidata list here, since I seem not be able to post to it.

Cheers, Scott

Hi Carl T, and Friends,

Besides WUaS having been a member of Friends Association for Higher Education (FAHE) for a few years, World University and School continues to hold monthly business meeting in the manner of Friends. And WUaS has minuted numerous times in our WUaS MBM minutes our Quaker-informedness (see, too, for ex. - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/Quaker and a few Quaker & related 'labels' here + - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Business%20Meeting). I also received some financial aid from SF Friends' Meeting (Quaker Meeting) in 2012 (or 2013), I think, to head to Friends' General Conference in Rhode Island, and do outreach in seeking students. Here's the video -

https://youtu.be/TTzo7MFhJqk - Sherri Maurin of SFFM and I made for this (which is still posted here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/), and I can share with you the flyers from this probably if you'd like as well. And although I became a member of the RSOF (Religious Society of Friends / unprogrammed Quakers) in around 2004 in Edinburgh, Scotland (while studying at the University of Edinburgh there for a year), I've been active in 10-12 unprogrammed Quaker Meetings since around 1975 or 1976, first attending the Pittsburgh Friends' Meeting in my teens - http://www.quakerquaker.org/profile/ScottMacLeod - and then in Multnomah Monthly Meeting when I went to Reed College in 1979 (and in the little Quaker Meeting in Munich Germany in 1981-82 while studying there through a Reed program, living with a Quaker family in their apartment in Garching, the Kruegers, at the end of my time here for 2.5 months). And besides doing Friendly-informed outreach for students at FGC and in a number of other Friends' Meetings informally, WUaS is a Friendly leading in many many ways, about which I've shared, too, a couple of times in Silent Meeting. (And I just sought to join FriendsCouncil.Net today as well). One of the reasons for not continuing WUaS Friendly engagement with FAHE or FGC (although some of these Friends are still on the WUaS monthly business meeting email list), has been that WUaS hasn't been able to begin the licensing (BPPE) and accreditation (WASC) processes due to lack of funding, and having begun this process in around 2007, with sharing about WUaS too in the Pittsburgh Friends Meeting, and holding the first public outreach for it in the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh main branch then!

As an World University and School Board Member Emeritus, Carl T, I'm surprised you haven't seen this page before - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation - which continues to have your name on it as an emeritus, as well as our WUaS Mission Statement. And it also has long had:

"Quaker-informed World University and School engages Friendly, monthly, business meeting process in which you are welcome to participate. Here's how: "ACCESS to Business Meeting Online Monthly at WUaS" - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2012/12/wuas-business-meeting-online-access.html ...."
(... as has the previous WUaS Wiki - https://worlduniversity.fandom.com/wiki/World_University_Foundation - had this statement).

In fact, here's the World University and School minute welcoming you (Carl Thatcher) to the WUaS Board - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/07/wild-columbine-july-11-2015-minutes-and.html - where your presence on the Board in 2015 (as noted in these Minutes too) was a further expression of WUaS Quaker orientation re your email today. (Did you not read the WUaS Minutes when you were Board member, Carl T? And do you not remember that we've talked a number of times about the above?)

Seeking in an ongoing way for World University and School to benefit the RSOF - with free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric degrees, with planned online Ph.D., Law, and M.D. degrees (and in multiple languages), as well as wiki schools in all 7,111 known living languages.

Here are 3 Friendly-informed pages as well:

- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends
- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_(atheist_Quakers%3F)
- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Peace_and_Social_Justice_Studies
(not yet in other languages as wiki-schools, but planned for this).

And since they are wiki and editable - and therefore teachable to or learnable from - I'd like to ask you, Carl T - and to paraphrase George Fox - "What wouldst thou wiki-teach?" (re Fox's " but Art thou a child of Light and hast thou walked in the Light, and what thou speakest, is it inwardly ..." ?) and invite you to teach this to your Youtube or Vimeo channel, and wiki add this to a WUaS page of your choosing - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - here at wiki MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School, Friendly-informed.

Good to see you, Trudy and Jerry in Portland over this past weekend, and looking forward to exploring Friendly-informed World Univ & Sch further together in a friendly way with time.

Friendly greetings, Scott

Hi Linda,(Yoga teacher in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania).
How are you? Are you in teaching Yoga in Italy already?
I think it's the beauty of Angela and Victor's Yoga Hall in Eftalou near Molyvos on Lesvos in Greece, combined with students coming to their courses on holiday, along with sharing their own unique and wondrous vision for Yoga, and teachings that all come together amazingly there.
I won't be coming back for Angela's course in Yellow Springs in late October, but if you're in Pittsburgh over Xmas it would be nice to see you.
Met Sara Kenward, manager of Mountain Yoga (in the Oakland hills not far from where I live in Canyon 94516) at a Farmer's Market on a Saturday recently, and am exploring teaching Yoga there ...

Dear Sara Kenward, 
Nice again to meet you at the Montclair Farmers' Market.
And congratulations to you, Ann Dyer, and all (https://www.m-yoga.org/about-us.html) on your 1st year in your new studio - https://www.m-yoga.org/new-studio.html . How has this gone for you?
I just signed up for the Mountain Yoga Newsletter here - https://www.m-yoga.org/newsletter-signup.html. I was looking online for pictures of it to see if Mountain Yoga's New Studio has wall straps and other useful props for supported inversions, supported poses, and restoratives, not so much like the Iyengar Yoga Institute of SF's fairly new studio - https://www.yelp.com/biz/iyengar-yoga-institute-of-san-francisco-san-francisco-3

- (from which IYISF I have a state of California's certificate for a 2 year program, which I completed in a year,) but from what I've enjoyed so much and learned from Angela and Victor's Yoga courses in Lesvos, Greece, in the SF Bay Area and many other places - support/prop-wise. I went through the IYI SF Yoga training in its old studio on Taraval in the sunset district of SF which had pretty good props too. I studied there with both Kathy Alef and Janet MacLeod at IYISF in 1991-1992 and they're still teaching there and senior teachers there as well - https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/mainclass?studioid=10212&tg=&vt=&lvl=&stype=&view=&trn=0&page=&catid=&prodid=&date=9%2f21%2f2019&classid=0&prodGroupId=&sSU=&optForwardingLink=&qParam=&justloggedin=&nLgIn=&pMode=0&loc=1 - nearly 30 years later. 
And while Angela and Victor also have a few props built into their very beautiful Yoga Hall which you can see here - https://angela-victor.com/content/valley-eftalou - props are helpful in their amazing teaching potential but by no means the center of their Yoga (like props can seem to be in Iyengar Yoga). And since they studied so long with Iyengar in the 1970s (going separate ways as IY 'institutionalized' - in SF in 1984), they are very skillful in using props, and I've learned a lot from them in these regards inner body-wise. In my exploring teaching Yoga in a studio again (and outside of my house-let in Canyon 94516), props also aren't central to my teaching, but I find they can facilitate releases / ing and Yoga learning in very positive ways. And I also appreciate the information A & V share here re their new Yoga home - http://www.yoga.info/en/yoga-place/greece/lesvos/angela-farmer-and-victor-van-kooten-s-yoga-hall - and re their wondrous Yoga teachings. 
I've also studied with Dona Holleman in Italy in the 1990s, and also in the US - http://www.centeredyogadonaholleman.org/en/yoga-centered/ - and Dona studied much too with Iyengar even before Angela and Victor, in the 1960s, I think. I appreciate Dona's approach to independent Yoga thinking, and re the Taoist thinking too about 'wu wei' (non-action) in her Yoga and re a kind of restorative Yoga especially - https://www.yogauonline.com/yoga-basics/doing-without-doing-yoga-practice-dona-holleman-ancient-practice-wu-wei . And I still practice with her books "Yoga Syllabus for Teacher and Student" and its companion book "Asana in Photo" to this day.  
You'll find aspects of the Yoga I share here - http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html - and - http://scottmacleod.com/yoga.htm - if you're interested, and it could be great to talk further about some of this, possibly in Montclair Village some time, depending on how scheduling might work out. Visualizing with language of inner releasing processes - which can seem divine, combined with the benefits of exploring Asana-informed movement - are also what I revel teaching, and have explored much in teaching Yoga in Canyon. And while I may explore teaching Yoga and some of this re Piedmont Yoga, it would be great to talk with you too about this.   
If Mountain Yoga's mission includes: "We want to take you higher: the friendly yoga studio in the Oakland hills," it would be fun to talk further about how. One of my out-of-the-box Yoga focuses also focuses on exploring practices for eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology - http://scottmacleod.com/LovingBlissPractices.htm - which seems to dovetail with Mountain Yoga's vision. 
I'd also like to offer any help I can, talking-wise etc.. to you, if that might be of assistance or service. Would you like to go out for a Chai or similar to talk about some of this in Montclair Village sometime?
Sincerely, Scott

Will see what she says, although she didn't respond to my first email or request to be added to their mailing list.

What's your thinking, Linda, on the benefits of the technologies of props, as well as the information technology of language re Yoga Teaching?
Happy Yoga teaching in Bella Italia!
Sincerely, Scott

Hi M,
English folk dancing was fun. Enjoyed too connecting with Jonathan Lovell who's back east (with his wife Ellen too) in Delaware at the school where he began teaching 50 years' ago. There's a Massachusetts's informed friendship I feel with him (almost like connecting with a country man, some one from one's own country when one's traveling) - a  shared and happy understanding around connecting as friends. Also appreciated English Country Dancing itself - there's a kind of civility in it culturally, with lots of folks identity-wise and culturally in the room (many with backgrounds in or ancestors from England) ... somehow familiarity. And the movement was alright re my left hip's sciatica, partly because we don't turn the feet out in English country dancing. 
Quite a few people with Asian background too (Chinese?) ... and one 25-30 yo Asian woman seemed to have her sights set on an Asian man, even possibly for marriage - courtship in progress possibly. 
I could possibly meet a partner in this Palo Alto dance ... through its network ... e.g. a 28-32 yo Stanford graduate looking for a partner ... who lives in the area, has danced English, and someone knows of. So I may head there again.
How are you? And what are you up to this weekend?
As you may have seen in my email to Linda Meacci, I'm exploring teaching Yoga here (you had suggested this too), and am going to do some supported inversions momentarily. :) ... Yoga can be a kind of work on the self, for freedom even ... and in the learning process, an inner body releasing emerges with time in my experience. 
More folk dancing ahead! 
L,
Scott

What is it about Angela and Victor's Yoga that is so wondrous (for me)? And how to explore this further flourished?
