Donald,
May explore developing a Friendly-informed World University and School's "Quaker Institute for the Future," or similar, weekly talk online focusing on "Academic Horizontal Democracy" coming into conversation with the form (and hiring of enormous numbers of interns and fellows) of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School at Harvard University's Tuesday at 9:30 am PDT talks when Harvard is in session ... and perhaps on Thursdays at noon or 12:30 pm PDT (3:30 EDT). How to find the Quaker-thinkers who attended Haverford, Swarthmore as undergraduates, now studying for the Ph.D.s, and Quaker Stanford graduate students, and post Docs, and very young professors to give these talks - and in ways that rock about information technology, law, STEM, medicine, humanities ... and eventually fly them out ...? It could be great to have an in-person lunch brown-bag gatherings at Berkeley Monthly Meeting or SFFM, for example, as we also broadcast these on the web over the decades, and archive these too ... all in the name/process of Friendly WUaS community building too.
Will be asking you about interesting Quaker thinkers over time, I think :)

A Quaker Peace-Making course based on primatological videos and primate research taught at a Haverford or Swarthmore, for example, and beginning with Bonobos as a reference primate?
And where we all can add videos to this wiki subjects, and well as create new related wiki subjects ...

Saw this video this morning at Quaker Institute for the Future with Stanford Professor of Primatology, Robert Sapolsky ...
Why hierarchy creates a destructive force within the human psyche (by dr. Robert Sapolsky)
... and it added to my reading/understanding of Bonobos as peaceful, non harming, egalitarian, matriarchal, whereas Chimps can be aggressive and do a kind of primitive war ... and also vis-a-vis Gorillas and Orangutans and all of the approximately 376 species of higher primates ...
