Female Elephants: How to create a nurturing, supportive, collaborative, empathic, highest quality World Univ & Sch, Friendly Committee Process

How to create a nurturing, supportive, collaborative, empathic, highest quality World University & School - like MIT OCW with Wikipedia - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects.

(For academic subjects, WUaS uses MIT OCW courses as a basis, and then facilitates wiki-adding to them, or teaching a related course, or starting a subject you wish to) ...


Committee decision-making in the manner of (nontheist) Friends (Quaker) as process - yes ... to create a nurturing, supportive, collaborative, empathic, highest quality World University & School.


‎... with a great manual ... :)

WUaS is a distributive network as is wiki as is the web.


*

Quaker process, emerging, loosely, with the industrial revolution and Enlightenment in England (1650s) seems to have ameliorated and mitigated some of the worst of human Pan troglodytism (common chimpanzee-ness - violence, war), at least within the Society of Friends, -interesting cultural discourse in modernity.



See, for example, both the nontheist Friends' subject
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_%28atheist_Quakers%3F%29


and Quaker subject
(http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends) wiki subjects - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects

- which you can engage. WUaS is like Wikipedia with MIT OCW where you can teach, add, create & learn.



JDM:

My dad's ancestors built the first Quaker meeting house on Long Island. (Or something like that.)

a few centuries ago

and here at the Nontheistic Friends' Wikipedia entry
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontheist_Friend) or WUaS subject - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_%28atheist_Quakers%3F%29

- great Friendly historical contribution :)
