20th century intelligence - ending poverty of half world without electricity -although Keynes 1936 (last capter general theiry money inetrest emplymen) asked Economists to take hipocrati oath as the profession that ended extreme poverty, most economists did the opposite. Whats not understandable is how educatirs failed to catalogue the lessons of the handful who bottom-up empowered vilages to collaboratively end poverty. There are mainly 2 inteligences to understand- Borlaug on food; fazle abed on everything that raised life expectancy in tropical viage asia from low 40s to 60s (about 7 below norm of living with electricity and telecomes). Between 1972 and 2001, Abed's lessons catalogued in this mooc had largelu built the nation of Bangladesh and been replicated with help of Unicef's James Grant acroo most tropical asian areas. What's exciting is the valley's mr ad mrs steve jobs invted Fazle Abed to share inteligences 2001 at his 65th birthday party. The Jobs and frineds promised to integrate abed's inteligence into neighborhod university stanfrd which in any event wanted Jobs next great leap the iphone. The Valley told abed to start a university so that women graduates from poor and rich nations could blend inteligence as Abed's bottom of the pyramid vilage began their journey of leapfrog modles now that gridd infarstructures were ni longer needed for sdiar and mobile. Abed could also help redesign the millennium goals which were being greenwashed into a shared worldwide system coding frame by 2016. There re at Abed's 80th birtday party , the easy bitwas checking this mooc was uptodate. The hard bit - what did Abed mean by his wish to headhunt a taiwanese american to head the university's 3rd decade starting 2020?

100 new universities - sharing each others ssdg community engagent alumni

if you look at climate or smart city netwrks - mayors and other place leaders arehekping bewnchmar/replicate each others solutions

if universities dont start shsaring their graduate alumni on sdg proiojects they will do their students all sort of harm - exchanges are now what vyouth need teir netorks to be about

also quite franly students in worlds best tech areas eg silicon vallewy are workst in world at imagineering leapdfrog apps in poorest places of world; and this issue will get farv more of sa digital gap wiyth deep ai data

whether we think health, climate curriculum that are fastest chsanging or most locally diverse the university a a cooperative lab for resiliency of last mule communities is bcoming the legacy of abed in the same way that the 15000 village home of 100000 people started fazle abeed ability to live and learn with sustainability'ds most urgently chaallenged village mothets of 1970s
