Reports this month have highlighted an exclusive Stanford course on ruling the world that included Phoebe Gates among its select participants and helped build startup networks for alumni. The unofficial 10-week seminar, formally titled So You Think You Can Rule the World and known as Rule, admits only 12 students each winter quarter through referrals and rigorous interviews.
Founded by Justin Lewis-Weber, a 2020 Stanford graduate in aeronautics and astronautics, the class examines power structures and incentive frameworks without offering university credit.
