Isn't that scary? People out there are now learning outside the
classroom, and the 3-hr-credit course, and the two-to-three test semster,
and the textbook, and... This is scary, because there is a whole
insitution, higher education, that might be losing its future for the lack of
learning. It is scary, because I have been in this business of business
education for some years now, and I know how huge the HE establishment has
become; too big to even clearly realize what might be happening to it! It
is not only philosophy that is freeing itself from the univerisities, but
other areas of knowledge are aslo experiencing that! Business is one of
them. But all this process is very exciting and even pretty, when we look
at how much learning has been been done and the energy released by it!
Look at this discussion group, which has generated so much learning... this
could have not been acccomplished withing the structures and walls of a
university system!

Am I making sense?

Ivan,
