How do cheap and stupid, fallacious ideas violating basic logic attain
prestige values and become marketed at universities for fortunes? The
reification fallacy is an elementary fallacy and a foolish error that a
child would know better than. However, we find universities convincing
people that ideas involving this error are highly intelligent, such as
expanding and bending space. Then, people uncritically and thoughtlessly
embrace these ideas without a second thought. This is very pathetic,
slavish, and avoidable.

Of course, it is not a conspiracy theory to understand that universities
are prestige mills selling prestige for tuition. This is proven by the
fact that their marketing has persuaded people to pay fortunes to be
taught ignorant fallacies as sophisticated science. The idea that space
expands or curves is a case of extraordinarily deceptive marketing. What
kind of fool would defend this deceitfulness by accusing the critic of
propounding conspiracy theory?
