We are talking about contemporary society.

Of course people were literate before universities were invented. Writing predates universities.



Then what are you trying to say? If we agree that universities are unnecessary for literacy or numeracy then university is no more a cornerstone of contemporary societies than supermarkets or libraries.


I was under the impression that we were having a discussion in good faith. It appears that this is not the case.

Good day Barry.
