[p2p-research] THIRD WORLD UNIVERSITIES FORUM

[Ryan Lanham]

I'd like to think Paul's architecture is what will evolve, but that would
entail nearly total dissolution of the current framework.  Culture has
staying power. I doubt such total transformation can occur absent
catastrophe.  That said, I am very excited by where a number of open
universities are headed...some are even doing world class research.
