Roger -- as our nearest star rises seemingly anew over a political return to some sanity here in the U.S., your news feels timely and welcomed. Happy to climb aboard the flight of the YASMIN Phenix!

Yasminers
Yesterday a group of trouble makers and provocateurs met under the
coordination of Dimitris
in Athens- and we made a tentative decision to try and re-invent YASMIN
and see if we can find other ways of contributing slowly emerging
better ideas to the post pandemic world ( we throw ideas at each
other, not stones and bombs, just as maturana and varela incited
auto-poesis in complex systems)
It was a rather emotional meeting-with long e-lost friends including
andreas, soussi , and new friends such as Dalila and Penny
In the brainstorming someone (Dalila?) mentioned the Phoenix and
suddenly we started talking about the YASMIN Phenix- the phenix is a
legendary mediterranean bird, south bank i think,
So with this email the Yasmin Phoenicians solicit, invite, encourage,
listen loudly to your thoughts and wishes for the Yasmin Phenix
arising from the ashes of the pandemic
i just looked up Phenicians and it sees like a good germ of a sead
The Phoenicians came to prominence following the collapse (c. 1150 BC)
of most major cultures during the Late Bronze Age ( aka 21st
pandemic). They were renowned in antiquity as adept merchants, expert
seafarers, and intrepid explorers and came to be known as Yasminers
They developed an expansive maritime( air and space) trade network
that lasted over a millennium, becoming the dominant (collaborative)
commercial power for much of classical antiquity. Phenician trade also
helped facilitate the exchange of cultures, ideas, and knowledge
between major cradles of civilization such as Greece, Egypt, and
Mesopotamia ( the native americans too)- as jadwiga reminds us trade
routes such as the Amber and Silk roads were not only commercial, drug
and other goods transmitters- for instance as Linda has explained- the
design of patterns in cloth and pottery travelled along the trade
routes- so yasminers- work with yourself and other to give birth to
the Yasmin Phenix

PS the Leonardo non=profit now as a safe space at Arizona State
University- where apparently there is a town called Phoenix.

happy new week, the week has been happy for us
in our family, happy new year we are not sure !?
in a previous discussion post i circulated the question of who
should have the right to respond to the extraterrestrial intelligence
that may have been discovered in the last month around proxima centauri
( answer NOT the president of the USA)
in a related question I draw your attention to this interesting article
by Maggi Savin- Baden and David Burden
who ask a related question: virtual assistants are becoming sophisticated
enough that you can ask them questions about dead people and the virtual
assistant will reply on your behalf after you are dead- this is not a new
question
i forget the artist who set up an email responder that would reply after
his death
from AIDS
The post pandemic provocateur group has been discussing these issues
for some time and maybe YASMINERS would like to contribute to a discussion

Abstract
The use of virtual assistants such as Siri that provide voice and
conversational
interfaces, the growth of machine learning techniques to mine large data
sets and
the rise in the level of autonomy being given to computer-controlled
systems all
represent shifts in artificial intelligence that are enhancing the creation
of digital
immortality. The growth of personality capture and levels of brain
simulation as
well as computationally inspired life after death may change the future of
religion,
affect understandings of the afterlife and increase the influence of the
dead
surviving in society. This paper provides an overview of recent
developments in
the area of digital immortality, explores how such digital immortals might
be
created and raises challenging issues. It presents the early findings from
a study
that created a virtual persona. This prototype system contains relevant
memories,
knowledge, processes and modelling of an individual?s personality traits,
knowledge
and experience and, also, incorporates the individual?s subjective and
possibly
flawed view of reality. It is argued that this system offers the
possibility for the
development of a persona that learns post-death.

Happy New
It is possible that the search for extraterrestrial intelligence has had a
first success:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/12/31/breakthrough-listen-seti-technosignatures/
The astronomical community is organising to figure out who/what has a right
to reply to his extraterrestrial
intelligence. There are NO international rules who who can reply on behalf
of humanity. Would you like your president to reply on behalf of human
civilisation ?
This may sound like science fiction or academic non sense, but if this is a
Breakthrough Listen BLC! then
the pandemic will be old news- i have signed the following statement which
has been submitted to the Washington Post and we would welcome a YASMIN
discussion.
Finally the YASMIN community is interested in knowing if you think we
should try and keep YASMIN going during the pandemic and if so, we are
looking for volunteers to help moderate and animate YASMIN

Subject:
BLC-1, astrobiology, SETI. Breakthrough Listen, social responsibility
Text of your submission:
Recent news about the detection of a candidate signal from an
extraterrestrial source relatively close to Earth has generated
considerable interest on the Internet.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/12/31/breakthrough-listen-seti-technosignatures/
In a Washington Post editorial, astrophysicist Adam Frank writes, somewhat
excitedly, about the possibility that Breakthrough Listen Candidate 1
(BLC-1, as the signal is known) actually might be the moment of First
Contact. He then announces that the age of technosignatures, meaning clear
indications of extraterrestrial technological civilizations, may finally be
upon us. The only reason we haven?t found life elsewhere, states Frank, is
because we just haven?t been looking hard enough.
Regardless of the level of technical challenges we face detecting
extraterrestrial life of any kind, we must also remember that the search is
not simply a technical endeavor. It?s also an event constructed in the
human imagination. News of BLC-1 leaked before the scientific team
analyzing the data had completed their work, which has led to a fair amount
of speculative writing in news and social media, but little in the way of
detail other than scientists reminding the public that it is unlikely BLC-1
represents an actual technosignature.
This underscores the need for a public discourse about how to handle
possible signal detection. In fact, although there is a robust history of
discussion among scientists involved with SETI (search for extraterrestrial
intelligence) about the need for post-detection protocols, and one was
developed in the 1980s intended to prevent leaks of unconfirmed detections,
the Internet has made control over news about signal detection essentially
impossible. In the 2000s, the International Academy of Astronautics? (IAA)
SETI committee revised the protocol, but the IAA board never approved the
revisions. To date, no government, nor international organization such as
the United Nations, has endorsed or pursued creation of any protocol or
legal framework to address issues related to technosignature detection and
there is no means for scientific bodies to control what is reported to the
public.
Because many astronomers treat detection of technosignatures as a technical
problem, the social and political ramifications of signal detection are
often overlooked in the media. On the surface, it seems that receiving a
signal from ET would be harmless. What could happen if ET is many light
years away? In the case of BLC-1, the source actually may be nearby at
Proxima Centauri, a mere 4.5 light years from Earth, and the Breakthrough
Starshot initiative is already working on technologies to send
nano-spacecraft to that star system. If ET were there, not only is radio
communication only a few years away, material interaction could happen in a
few decades.
But even if the source is much more distant, the history of competition
among great powers makes it clear that if an opportunity arises to gain an
advantage over global rivals, it will be taken. That advantage can be
military, economic, or political; and in the modern world, it may involve
access to and control over information, as we have seen through the furor
concerning Russian hacking of US government agencies.
As former Air Force General Ken Wisian and John Traphagan have argued, if
the information related to detection of a technosignature is deemed as
potentially advantageous, competing powers will vie for control over that
information?if there may be a perceived benefit, then governments will
likely attempt to monopolize access for national security reasons. And it
is not unreasonable to imagine a situation in which monopolization of
communication with an extraterrestrial civilization could lead to an
information-driven cold war.
Although the possibility of BLC-1 being an actual technosignature is low,
it piques the human imagination and there is something powerful captured in
the possibility that we may soon learn we are not alone in the universe.
However, scientists and the news media should be careful to avoid overly
optimistic musings about both the likelihood of detection and the possible
outcomes for human civilization should we find a technosignature. The
potential for human interest generated by leaks such as BLC-1 clearly
defines the responsibility that both scientists and the news media have to
be cautious and to carefully consider the unpredictable ways contact may
change our world.
Despite recent success in exoplanet hunting, the search for
extraterrestrial life faces hurdles and presents potential risk, even if
minor, for humans. Both the search for technosignatures and the societal
implications of that search require greater commitment to long-term
thinking and there has been insufficient public discussion about the
implications of First Contact. This should give us pause if we are at the
dawn of an era in which technosigatures of alien life become more than just
an imaginative exercise.
Of course, we could always shrug our collective shoulders and say that
contact is very unlikely to happen now or any time soon. But some people
used to say that about a global pandemic.

Happy New
It is possible that the search for extraterrestrial intelligence has had a
first success:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/12/31/breakthrough-listen-seti-technosignatures/
The astronomical community is organising to figure out who/what has a right
to reply to his extraterrestrial
intelligence. There are NO international rules who who can reply on behalf
of humanity. Would you like your president to reply on behalf of human
civilisation ?
This may sound like science fiction or academic non sense, but if this is a
Breakthrough Listen BLC! then
the pandemic will be old news- i have signed the following statement which
has been submitted to the Washington Post and we would welcome a YASMIN
discussion.
Finally the YASMIN community is interested in knowing if you think we
should try and keep YASMIN going during the pandemic and if so, we are
looking for volunteers to help moderate and animate YASMIN

Subject:
BLC-1, astrobiology, SETI. Breakthrough Listen, social responsibility
Text of your submission:
Recent news about the detection of a candidate signal from an
extraterrestrial source relatively close to Earth has generated
considerable interest on the Internet.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/12/31/breakthrough-listen-seti-technosignatures/
In a Washington Post editorial, astrophysicist Adam Frank writes, somewhat
excitedly, about the possibility that Breakthrough Listen Candidate 1
(BLC-1, as the signal is known) actually might be the moment of First
Contact. He then announces that the age of technosignatures, meaning clear
indications of extraterrestrial technological civilizations, may finally be
upon us. The only reason we haven?t found life elsewhere, states Frank, is
because we just haven?t been looking hard enough.
Regardless of the level of technical challenges we face detecting
extraterrestrial life of any kind, we must also remember that the search is
not simply a technical endeavor. It?s also an event constructed in the
human imagination. News of BLC-1 leaked before the scientific team
analyzing the data had completed their work, which has led to a fair amount
of speculative writing in news and social media, but little in the way of
detail other than scientists reminding the public that it is unlikely BLC-1
represents an actual technosignature.
This underscores the need for a public discourse about how to handle
possible signal detection. In fact, although there is a robust history of
discussion among scientists involved with SETI (search for extraterrestrial
intelligence) about the need for post-detection protocols, and one was
developed in the 1980s intended to prevent leaks of unconfirmed detections,
the Internet has made control over news about signal detection essentially
impossible. In the 2000s, the International Academy of Astronautics? (IAA)
SETI committee revised the protocol, but the IAA board never approved the
revisions. To date, no government, nor international organization such as
the United Nations, has endorsed or pursued creation of any protocol or
legal framework to address issues related to technosignature detection and
there is no means for scientific bodies to control what is reported to the
public.
Because many astronomers treat detection of technosignatures as a technical
problem, the social and political ramifications of signal detection are
often overlooked in the media. On the surface, it seems that receiving a
signal from ET would be harmless. What could happen if ET is many light
years away? In the case of BLC-1, the source actually may be nearby at
Proxima Centauri, a mere 4.5 light years from Earth, and the Breakthrough
Starshot initiative is already working on technologies to send
nano-spacecraft to that star system. If ET were there, not only is radio
communication only a few years away, material interaction could happen in a
few decades.
But even if the source is much more distant, the history of competition
among great powers makes it clear that if an opportunity arises to gain an
advantage over global rivals, it will be taken. That advantage can be
military, economic, or political; and in the modern world, it may involve
access to and control over information, as we have seen through the furor
concerning Russian hacking of US government agencies.
As former Air Force General Ken Wisian and John Traphagan have argued, if
the information related to detection of a technosignature is deemed as
potentially advantageous, competing powers will vie for control over that
information?if there may be a perceived benefit, then governments will
likely attempt to monopolize access for national security reasons. And it
is not unreasonable to imagine a situation in which monopolization of
communication with an extraterrestrial civilization could lead to an
information-driven cold war.
Although the possibility of BLC-1 being an actual technosignature is low,
it piques the human imagination and there is something powerful captured in
the possibility that we may soon learn we are not alone in the universe.
However, scientists and the news media should be careful to avoid overly
optimistic musings about both the likelihood of detection and the possible
outcomes for human civilization should we find a technosignature. The
potential for human interest generated by leaks such as BLC-1 clearly
defines the responsibility that both scientists and the news media have to
be cautious and to carefully consider the unpredictable ways contact may
change our world.
Despite recent success in exoplanet hunting, the search for
extraterrestrial life faces hurdles and presents potential risk, even if
minor, for humans. Both the search for technosignatures and the societal
implications of that search require greater commitment to long-term
thinking and there has been insufficient public discussion about the
implications of First Contact. This should give us pause if we are at the
dawn of an era in which technosigatures of alien life become more than just
an imaginative exercise.
Of course, we could always shrug our collective shoulders and say that
contact is very unlikely to happen now or any time soon. But some people
used to say that about a global pandemic.

*Announcement*
An important ScienceDigital Conference to celebrate the *United Nations
General Assembly, 75th anniversary *begins 24 September, ending 2nd of
October 2020
*S**cience**D**igital**@UNGA75 *raises awareness of the role and
contribution of science to the attainment of the SDGs. The contribution of
Science Digital Cooperation is foundational to the achievement of the UN
SDG?s and this important week of meetings is organised by ISC Intelligence
in Science, produced in collaboration with People Centred Internet, Medical
University Graz, AERAP Africa-EU Science Platform, LifeWatch Eric, and
others.
*Science Collaboration across continents and nations, across themes and
disciplines*
The conference will examine the enabling environment for policy, regulatory
and finance and the instruments and infrastructure needed to put in place
to sustain science mechanisms which inspire, encourage and support truly
global scientific collaboration.
*Global participation, better science enabled by attention to data, data
policy and governance*
Attainment of the SDGs will require alignment on policy and regulation that
impact science and technology, the digital economy and society. People?s
lives are now impacted and we are increasingly aware of the consequences of
how data is handled, stored, managed and accessed. Alignment is necessary
so that digitally enabled science can operate globally to address global
challenges: Science, research and development are increasingly
encountering rising data challenges which demand our thoughtful attention
followed by thorough research policy consideration.
Without regulatory equivalency or some degree of global harmonization,it?s
difficult to see how, for example, the health and medical science
cooperation that needs to happen between developed and less developed
nations will take place. We must push past science geared to the people in
developed countries, science experiments especially in health must be
globally applicable and relevant to people of all races and cultures.
Unless aligned, disparate existing regulatory frameworks are and will
continue to be a barrier to science; a barrier to innovation; a barrier to
technology transfer; a barrier that will impede progress in addressing
health deprivation and other challenges. This applies to diagnostics,
therapy development and healthcare delivery. We have reached a point where
ICT technologies and health research are intertwined but policy operates in
separate silos.
The United Nations report *?The Age of Digital Interdependence
https://www.un.org/en/pdfs/DigitalCooperation-report-for%20web.pdf>? *and
the related *?Roadmap for Digital Cooperation
<https://www.un.org/en/content/digital-cooperation-roadmap/>?* under the
auspices of the first UN Secretary General to have been a Professor of
Electrical Engineering, Antonio Guterres, have developed a blueprint for a
connected world and a vision for sustained and integrated connectivity
designed to build a trust enabled environment where science can thrive.
*ScienceDigtial@UNGA75 **promotes the idea of unitary science*
All science disciplines are ultimately linked and enabled in similar ways.
Without understanding this policymakers and legislators are likely to
embark on disparate and disconnected initiatives. Here also, the lack of
coordination and national vested interests will conspire to impede
scientific progress and the resulting innovations to address truly global
and immediate challenges. This will impede the digital cooperation
essential to reap the dividends of technology and critical to develop
guardrails for this powerful tool, which in the wrong hands can be
dangerous to life and the planet.

Yasminers
a) thanks to ken friedman post reminding of us of one of the failures
of the digital commons-
the explosion of predatory publishers- how can Yasmin help on this problem ?
b) apologies to those whose posts were approved late- like many people we
are overwhelmed with the turbulence of WWIII that combines pandemics
with climate change.
c) if any yasminer would like to spend a little donated time to keep
yasmin going and thinking
aloud- dont hesitate to contact us.
d) finally: I highly recommend the new book by Sarabeth Berk: "More
than my title:
the power of hybrid professionals in a workforce of experts and generalists"
it is very readable- some of the things that are new, are true, and
some are maybe not !
but as i read, its almost a imaginary discussion of the YASMIN
community of practice-
yes we are hybrid and amphibian - and with WWIII we need to learn to
not only walk
and swim but also fly!
feel free to post discussions of readings and sources on our Yasmin
discussion list
which has been dormant during the pandemic

the related *?Roadmap for Digital Cooperation
<https://www.un.org/en/content/digital-cooperation-roadmap/>?* under the
auspices of the first UN Secretary General to have been a Professor of
Electrical Engineering, Antonio Guterres, have developed a blueprint for a
connected world and a vision for sustained and integrated connectivity
designed to build a trust enabled environment where science can thrive.
*ScienceDigtial@UNGA75 **promotes the idea of unitary science*
All science disciplines are ultimately linked and enabled in similar ways.
Without understanding this policymakers and legislators are likely to
embark on disparate and disconnected initiatives. Here also, the lack of
coordination and national vested interests will conspire to impede
scientific progress and the resulting innovations to address truly global
and immediate challenges. This will impede the digital cooperation
essential to reap the dividends of technology and critical to develop
guardrails for this powerful tool, which in the wrong hands can be
dangerous to life and the planet.

Yasminers
a) thanks to ken friedman post reminding of us of one of the failures
of the digital commons-
the explosion of predatory publishers- how can Yasmin help on this problem ?
b) apologies to those whose posts were approved late- like many people we
are overwhelmed with the turbulence of WWIII that combines pandemics
with climate change.
c) if any yasminer would like to spend a little donated time to keep
yasmin going and thinking
aloud- dont hesitate to contact us.
d) finally: I highly recommend the new book by Sarabeth Berk: "More
than my title:
the power of hybrid professionals in a workforce of experts and generalists"
it is very readable- some of the things that are new, are true, and
some are maybe not !
but as i read, its almost a imaginary discussion of the YASMIN
community of practice-
yes we are hybrid and amphibian - and with WWIII we need to learn to
not only walk
and swim but also fly!
feel free to post discussions of readings and sources on our Yasmin
discussion list
which has been dormant during the pandemic
