I suppose that time travel was one of the skills discussed at this

OK.  A comment.  A Little Bo Peep diploma ascertaining that some
executive is versed in the mysteries of the East isn't going to help
him compete in the marketplace.

I don't deny that there is value in non-western religions and knowledge,
I just don't think that anyone is going to learn anything significant
about life, the universe, and everything from such a meeting.
