The argument goes:

- we suck

- we have no money

- and yet we cost too much

- MOOCs suck

- MOOCs are cheap

- MOOCs are going to eat our lunch

- we preserve intellectual heritage

- if we go, it goes

- therefore kill MOOCs

And really, there are at least two important counter arguments:

- if you suck, how can you preserve heritage?

- do not MOOCs also preserve heritage at least as well?

Also, the despair and lack of alternative here to the "recession" (actually, it's not a recession any more, it's a hugely unequal wealth distribution) is striking.
