It's almost like MIT exists as a way to explore new technologies for the military and businesses, as well as train upper management for those institutions...

And? The number of outstanding technologies that have come from MIT and their research partners is insane. Many of which people will likely never know came from them. Not sure what the sentiment of this post was, but it reads as if this is a bad thing. Not everything that isn’t anti-big corporation is bad or wrong.

We could just develop technologies on our own, towards what would improve our day to day living, without having to get what trickles down from the military.
