Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you think that stating that you should not go to a college that you can't afford is "beyond the typical level of unhinged," you must be from a very sheltered corner of the internet. It strikes me as a very common sense and mainstream opinion indeed.
Saying only the wealthy and top 5% of students should receive higher education is unhinged. That might be a popular opinion on HN and libertarian land but no one can seriously argue that with a straight face lol.
Who said that?
