Why attribute to stupidity what can be attributed to malevolence? Rockefeller was exceptionally smart, ruthless and machiavellian in business, yet you think he was just stupid and idealist when doing social engineering?
This, so hard. You can't convince me that a person of this level of intelligence, experience, and knowledge was clueless about the effect of his actions.
And where did the creativity get us? To the gender identities ala under water basket weaving PhDs? The mimicking of the intellectual activity? The true talent will find its way in complex situations. The majority does much better under the traditional system of education. We don't have an objective criteria for the talents, therefore we left with postmodern mayhem in arts and humanity.
Lmao, trying to make oneof the most evil people in the histoey of the world seem like a good guy; your vid is pure propaganda sinxe you never explored all the evil, horrible stuff he did at all (at least you mentioned the school system though)
He was genius, who did a real business and shaped it for the future. He wasn't just a stock exchange speculator as the most of bigs, of so called "investors" of today.
No, he was a selfish maniac who ruined our education and everything he touched for his own insatiable greed. It’s so ignorant how people with no morals or values are revered because of money, it’s quite sad.
Employment is not what the primary purpose of education is supposed to be. Thomas Jefferson would heartily disagree with that. Upholding the responsibilities of our republic as participatory citizens requires we be well-educated broadly across subject matter but particularly well in history, the Great Works and Ideas, and in rhetoric and communication. Debate, research and analysis, and good communication, undergirded by a breadth of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding are necessary for the most effective functioning at the scale of our nation, lest we the people be led around by the nose by the manipulative and power-hungry.
I was totally blown away reading _Capitalism in America_ by Alan Greenspan and Adrian Wooldridge, that Rockefeller owned 90% of the worlds refinery capacity... I believe, if memory serves me correct, his father lent him $1000 dollars before the Civil War, and by the end of the Civil War Rockefeller had around 70,000 from investing it in oil lamp company, and he worked for a food distribution company, or something like that... He definitely was a philanthropist... This man was a hustler from day one. I true go-getter in every since of the word. An absolute role model of mine...
Mine too, no matter what people think, I think he was pure gold. Yes his business methods could be ruthless, but business is war! You gotta be ruthless, just looks at the impact he made! Truly a gem of a person, my inspiration as well
@@ot7saranghae124wudnt say an inspiration or go as far....amazing work ethics i wud say it wudnt of bothering him in the slightest if a factory of his burnd down he'd probably make money from ot.....nor tink twice about walking over peoples bk 2 get there...tat i admire his determination....but not at the cost of any lives
God uses suitable people to build His Kingdom. Some are used to advance education, others to advance peace. Prosperity will not exist without peace. Peace will not exist without education. I would say God will give us wisdom again to further advance His Kingdom.
No point but to be a cog In the system...

100%, not even sure what this video is, this man was one of the most evil people in the entire world

Yes he was a genius opportunist.

There are also many who would say he is an evil, evil man
Even in early days asian were the smart kid 9:21 on paper 😅
Our children need to think beyond their job and not be caught up in this propaganda.

It seems to me you are using stupidity as if it were interchangeable with ignorance. There is a huge difference between those two words.
disagree with the thesis, but well-made video. don't attribute to malice OR stupidity that which is adequately explained by material class interests
You have the right answer!

he was arguably a very evil man
Mine too, no matter what people think, I think he was pure gold. Yes his business methods could be ruthless, but business is war! You gotta be ruthless, just looks at the impact he made! Truly a gem of a person, my inspiration as well

You have a very evil role model who has made sure that you live your life as nothing more than a worker for his industry.
Disgusting!
You can tell that Rockefeller dude has NO SOUL!
Looked like a living corpse.
Just everything on capitalism. I guess the government has no hand in the market, huh?
He was really a stupid man.
Keep being naive

What a disgusting, ignorant, and depressing thought process. That's some shit you've been told to keep you docile and complacent. Just saying.
You're wrong
