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

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

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

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

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

Pulled on my wintery jacket to have coffee and tea outside on garden patio patio with amazing views (just north of Berkeley), then soft boiled egg, then more tea ... appreciating my views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the new mast and rigging architecture of the Bay Bridge, and the Richmond bridge ... may head hiking later again thanks to your Sugarloaf mountain hiking inspiration ...

What would a Nontheist Friends' Journal entail?

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

7:41 PM (2 hours ago)

to nontheist-friends

Hi Nontheist Friends,

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

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

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

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

Below are chronological lists -

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

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

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

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

Am finding the Twitter conversation among the most interesting 'journals' out there, these days - re people sharing messages from a kind of sitting in Meeting, and somewhat non theistically, and somewhat friendly too - but partly because it's distributed. (And while there are a variety of NtF #Hashtags and related eg https://twitter.com/hashtag/Nontheist... - people aren't yet engaging them very much, as people seem to be engaging Friends' Journal).

NtF Cheers,

Scott
