I have a degree in political science from OSU. My focus was on international relations in the developing world and back when I was there (graduated in 2003), one of the consistent talking points was how the IMF and World Bank have really just blanket-bombed those countries with odious debt. The situation was presented so hopelessly that I pursued a totally different career just because I didn't think anything could be done short of the developing world rising up in some violent way.
I didn't discover Bitcoin until 2020, but it is such an obvious peaceful solution to this problem. Maybe most of them have retired, but I can't imagine most of my old professors in that department not putting two and two together.
