I find it, frankly, barely coherent.

And would like to point out:

> most of which, these days, were hippies from a prior generation who couldn't make a business run successfully if they had to and

Most people these days aren't capable of running a business successfully, or at least their jobs don't entail that. It's hardly a requirement for being a successful or contributing member of society. Just because someone couldn't make a business run successfully doesn't mean they can't educate someone successfully.

True, but in too many cases, they rail against the "evils" of the capitalistic society (not all - I had great professors in college, but I investigated them to make sure they were educators, and not ideologues whose main interest was to educate YOU in the way THEY saw the world; there are tons of You Tube clips and recordings of such "educational rants" by professors in higher institutions of "learning" (did I say learning out loud - it must have been a faux pas!).
