Serving Mammon
#2
It was worth watching, but I am disappointed that someone with that much media experience could drag it out so long when it could have been covered nicely in about 20 minutes. The short version is that Molyneux sees a dual source of trouble: One is that the lady in question didn't perform due diligence, nor did her parents, in regards to the massive debt burden from college loans. Two is the massive propaganda from the system about the necessity of college and how the borrowing will pay for itself in higher earning. He notes that the lady who earned her masters degree ended up with a job she could have gotten without college at all.

But the best part is Molyneux explains how the trap here is the portion of the system controlled by lefties, and the hypocrisy of how they exploit people in the very ways they condemn. Elitism is elitism no matter which flavor it pretends to be. It still ends up with plutocrats plundering the lower classes by yet one more means, and enslaving them. This is just a manifestation of Western Civilization's inherent class warfare. It's built into Western thinking. The West gave feudalism a bad name by doing it wrong. Feudal authority rightly rests on the shepherd's care for his household, his commitment to his family. No shepherd seeks to enslave other clans and tribes the way Western feudalism did.

I went to college twice. I had no intention of bettering my economic standing. I went because of God's calling on my life. I was fortunate to have sponsorship both times and left with very little debt, a debt easily paid. But because I went with a mission calling, I got more from college than most people get. Not just high grades, but I gained intellectual tools I have used every day since then. It was college that alerted me to Hebrew culture and a different epistemology. It took awhile to bear fruit because I'm not that brilliant, but my determination from God is what bore fruit.
