That is what I am getting at: Your circumstantial situation of working in a university is not the driver of your actions. If you were working on the assembly line at a factory and noticed those standing beside you lacked some kind of knowledge, you would equally work with them to fill in their gaps. That is the person who you are. The reality is that education happens everywhere, all the time.

Perhaps what you are trying to get at is that those who identify as students in a university are generally already open to learning? It is unlikely they would be there otherwise. Whereas of the people on the assembly line, only some will accept you trying to teach them something. Fair to say that the reality is also that not everyone wants to learn.
