These observations do not imply in any way the right or wrong of the things. Trying to understand the underlying assumptions made is not meant to be judgmental at all, but to understand the basics of the thought pattern. In fact many of the thoughts and opinions expressed are legitimate. They appear to be true on the surface, or conclusion made after some experience of things that happened. They may sound logical and as such they are taken for granted without anymore deeper probing.
Thoughts govern human behavior.
Many unquestioned and unchallenged thoughts can lead to unintended negative consequence, producing long term disastrous results especially in this highly interconnected and interdependent new era. Is was the same mental models then that it was up to humankind to make use of the atomic and nucleus technology in whatever manner deemed fit.

When we still see technologies on e-learning for helping to get faster and easier degree or certification of educational products, more efficient for professors to reach millions of students then traditional classroom of students, the previously described mental models fit perfectly well.
