"Vesting" will be an important incentive at World University and School ... but how to build in happiness and flourishing for learners and teachers as incentives as well, M? It's hard to say which Universities do this in great and creative ways. (I've pointed anecdotally and from quite a distance to the Quaker Earlham College in Indiana in the past as an example of a culture which generated great happiness and flourishing, based on experiences with family members who have gone there, as well as people I've met who have graduated from Earlham since the 1950s).

Curious what a kind of "yoga of marriage" is for family generation (beyond, in the west, Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten's example, and perhaps Rodney Yee's and Colleen's as well) will emerge re WUaS. Social theory-wise, this would include questions of norms, which people and freedom-seeking moments in the 1960s and 1970s profoundly questioned and reformulated. (I can see Yoga from the 1970s and beyond, in the U.S., as an expression of freedom-seeking ... and in reference to somehow Patanjalian Yoga / India norms post 1960s, but emerging out of the West and western / U.S. cultural patterns ... e.g. family patterns giving rise to children, and now in the information technology age).

Culture (re identity and discourse), well beyond nation state to nation state, plays a role in both of these questions - a) how to build into this school (World University and school) great happiness and flourishing. as well as build in "vesting" financially (the conveying to an employee of unconditional entitlement to a share in a pension fund) for retirement, for example, and b) re "marriage" for harmonious families (and to have kids too), how this will "just happen" - as it has for billions of years - and re a new university and school planned in all countries' main languages (as the Harvards of the Internet) as well as in all 7,097+ living languages as wiki schools.

It's quite a remarkable philosophy department (with linguistics especially) at CC MIT OCW which World University will be able to build on -
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/linguistics-and-philosophy/ - by hiring graduate students to teach online in group video to these MIT faculty in video as they become faculty.

"Joy to the World" in this holiday season, and greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I'm visiting for the holidays.
