Some academic fallacies:

Some academic fallacies, and sub-fallacies: Because we (the colleges) are the seat of learning, we are the seat of credentials—all credentials. We are the seat of all learning.

Everything that can be known can be given in a lecture. Everything that can be known is known.

There lives among these fallacies the danger of academic hubris—that we are the ones who know it.

There is no room for experience, nor for art, nor especially in our culture, for betweens and amongs: the group mind.

Therefore everything to be known can be known and processed inside a single (human) brain. Thus the way to “teach” is by depositing.

There is no room for interplay.
