Creating a virtual sanctuary for scholars.
When people work together digitally, material can be added to a safe shared environment at anytime and can be accessed anywhere. The solutions generate new questions and new problems that then become interconnected. Cultivating this new and rapidly evolving technology of peer-to-peer platforms (1) may prove to be an extremely cost effective way to solve complex institutional or individual dilemmas. The solutions reflect the richness of two or more protected and engaged scholars or institutions working together with a refined degree of connection. After all, as Philip Condit, the CEO of the Boeing Company is often quoted as saying ... "none of us is as smart as all of us." The path to global connection hinges on relationships that are made and sustained one at a time. Progress together along the path similarly is made one step at a time. Sustained progress requires compelling reasons to do this in ways that are consonant with what it means to be human.
