I wonder about the true intent of the MOOC. If this is a sustainable model or not, if education is given freely to all, where will the elitists go and what will they fund next? what will happen to privilege, hierarchy, advantage, perception, and capitalism? Where is the governing body for quality and relevance for the MOOC? Will MOOCs just become a super advertisement to educate people to pursue a flawed "great American dream?

If we were all to become a society of great Greek thinkers and philosophers is our future the current Greek economic model? Would we, in fact, live just outside and on the poor side of the tracks of the "Global Village"?

I am thankful for the opportunity to take time through these formal courses to ponder and enter a realm so foreign to my previous thought process that  I can compare it to summer coming to a frozen lake. Before I only scratched the surface finding deep thought cold and thick and lifeless with little value to my existence, However, with spring and summer coming I am becoming immersed in a, before unknown, world of wonder and intrigue, that doesn't follow any of my preconceived values. I had wondered in the past can the world, as I know it, afford University Education, as the current model seems to only graduate debt laden individuals directly into a welfare system.
