Every year they back loans to 17-20 year old students, and increase the amount they front. These loans wouldn\u2019t be available to buy hard goods, real estate, or stocks but they will purchase a seat in the university. The terms of the loans are predatory, but voluntary with almost no forethought regarding getting out from under them. Without the influx of wide eyed government sponsored students the higher education system wouldn\u2019t be offering doctorate degrees in \u201cThe Tao of Harry Potter\u201d, \u201cmedieval Russian Literature\u201d, or \u201cSocial Responsibilities of Porn\u201d because nobody would purchase said degrees for a real world application.<br \/>\nI believe this got started 60 years ago in an effort to level the playing field in pursuit of equality. When the IQ test became no longer usable as a entry to the job market, a substitute had to be procured, and a college degree, in any subject became the new standard. It wasn\u2019t immediately viewed as just any degree, but slowly morphed into the pursuit of the sheepskin, vs receiving an education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cin the same way that the government puts a brake on the cost of drugs by acting as the largest provider of medical insurance through<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,1489,4429],"tags":[1762,1596,4430,3875],"class_list":["post-27704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","category-guest-contributors","category-milo-mindbender","tag-education","tag-guest-contributors","tag-milo-mindbender","tag-woke-colleges"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Guest Contributor - Milo Mindbender - 25FEB2024 - Higher Mis-Education - Orion&#039;s Cold Fire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/index.php\/2024\/02\/25\/guest-contributor-milo-mindbender-25feb2024-higher-mis-education\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Guest Contributor - Milo Mindbender - 25FEB2024 - Higher Mis-Education - Orion&#039;s Cold Fire\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u201cin the same way that the government puts a brake on the cost of drugs by acting as the largest provider of medical insurance through\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/index.php\/2024\/02\/25\/guest-contributor-milo-mindbender-25feb2024-higher-mis-education\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Orion&#039;s Cold Fire\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-02-25T14:42:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"photog\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@orionscoldfire\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@orionscoldfire\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"photog\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/index.php\/2024\/02\/25\/guest-contributor-milo-mindbender-25feb2024-higher-mis-education\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/index.php\/2024\/02\/25\/guest-contributor-milo-mindbender-25feb2024-higher-mis-education\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"photog\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/#\/schema\/person\/d11e80f83f3825ce9fe38a5303eb64d3\"},\"headline\":\"Guest Contributor &#8211;
