Who is John Galt?

In an idyllic world conformity is priceless.

But wait a minute, really?

Meaning expressing your sentiments that's rather different isn't permitted?

Behold, we're now headed to an irreversible world, says the Master.

Being human, being an individual, being different will soon a thing of the past.

I hold my breath.

Critical thinking aims to learn.

We're flawed humans created to make mistakes.

I'm not here to disrespect anybody nor here to start trouble.

I hope there's a lot that we can share if only to be civil.

Good day all.

The society that he built is what makes us great.

Has your Ukraine blog been removed ?
Tes, so was the blog about stolen election, and two more.

I guess they're all against the site's rule Rob.cheers
Thanks C.

If I Can change the world, I'd create a way to apply all the social principles John Galt used in his life. bouquet
they are doing the bidding of Biden, which means they support gross dishonesty and mas murder.
Very sad day comfort
Loved the book.

I think the message has to do with individual freedom from government. I hope the concept and reality will endure.
I think it's fair to say it so Rob..very sad. It's not about Biden. It's the gross commitment of fraud. sad flower
I think of it as you say C. There's so many political blogs about Biden about Ukraine and they seem to be fine. I kind of think that presenting a very crucial issue that affects the US citizens are not allowed. The oppositions mostly are not from here and you read how it c went. I think I have handled it respectfully but wwll, so many didn't like it.

Going back to John Galt, I just admire the guy. So few a word he says but his actions are formidable.
That Letter was actually written by Rand!rolling on the floor laughing
Really? rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
What about bible passages, in Matthew and Mark, about Jesus feeding multitudes of people. They need not go away; you give them something to eat.. professor
While I haven't read any of her philosophy contending to that effect, I don't think Jesus encouraged laziness. I think in the real world, there are those that are truly unable to feed themselves and since kindness is a virtue, Jesus showed how we can truly be kind to those in need.

On her philosophy it doesn't apply to that category. She simply magnified the need for everyone to be productive instead of being lazy.

Now look around you. You live in a state much akin to California ruled by the liberals. Heck they encouraged you to be a lazy dole receiver. Do you wonder why?
Susie, thanks for your awesome contribution.

Exceptionally said and very clear, her principles are all under the force of a very useful being. We have to use our strength to produce for ourselves . Only then, the world as a whole is good. bouquet
Well ,I live in a rich country so I suppose economically life been easy on me.
With that said: I find that principle you mention natural and somehow I think I'll be fine
if left without a penny almost anywhere in the world, i'd offer my help and
I think some would give me some bread in return
even if it's not a regular job situation. At least I'd like to believe that.
In a troubled world run by egoistic and greedy, being useful, honest and free isn't easy.

Freedom is the key. Nothing else matters if you're not free.bouquet
That's good Grand.

If and when we become incapable of sustaining our existence, I don't object to the necessity of providing for these people. Jesus taught to be that. However it's not a concept to manipulate the system for purposes of being unproductive and lazy. In the US, that concept gave birth to the Social Security system. It works well. It is an organization that pulls our contributions as working society, so that, note: so that when we become incapable if producing due to age and or accidents, we have something to fall back on. I'm retired and living through those efforts I've contributed. I'm not a dole recipient. As a matter of fact I am still working because of a choice. I couldn't do anything different.

Thanks for your commentwave
I've realized that quite a long time ago. It's the power of the press and fake news they feed to the gullible.
There's no doubt Lukewave

What's is sad is, we're ruled by these incompetent and yet powerful leeches and, the core of truth and justice is completely thrown out the window. What does that leave ys? Hmmmmmnn, we're all dumb and taken by their spell.sad flower
luckily not alllaugh
I do believe there is unappreciated genius in the world but I don't know who or what that is. I know that it's certainly easy to believe that genius is ourself, does it need to be any easier?

Personally I believe that we are told to be humble because naturally we are not. People can be very selfish and arrogant.
Yes indeed, Luke wave
"Objectivism is a philosophical system developed by Russian-American writer Ayn Rand. Rand first expressed Objectivism in her fiction, most notably The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), and later in non-fiction essays and books."

I always believed that her fundamental philosophy is focused on this mind set. Objectivism is powerful. You set a goal. Outline how yo can achieve that end. The main point is to manifest that objective by working towards manifesting that purpose.
Having Elon put so much credibility in this AI, I know I stand no force to go against it. We might however, have a chance to exist as humans if we learn how to integrate and perhaps put respect to THE TRUTH. ELIMINATE HUMAN EXCESSIVE POWER AND GREED.
Greed is wiped out in his principle.
If only humans are motivated by fairness.

What's good for you is good for me attitude.

A win win situation.

Now that is something else, isn't it?bouquet teddybear
A society built on everybody's contributions.
I'm a 'lazy dole receiver'? I'm very good at taking sarcasm as I am with dishing it out. What do you mean by that anyway?.. laugh
I'd join you Crolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing laugh laugh

Bo, yes I think C is right. That's way too low even for you..rolling on the floor laughing

But thanks for the effort. peace
The book is fiction. I never said its from a true story.

You have to realize however that the truideal of freedom is based on his principle. John Galt like Musk believes that the government must NOT CONTROL any enterprise to cripple them in their progressive practices of capitalism. Taxing is a tool of the government to function as allowed by the law but NEVER EVER INTERFERE with its lawful application of progress.
So, Con, please show which parts aren't true. For anyone else, do your own research, read the citations in Wiki.. yawn
Apology expressed is a form of civility and I respect your position Bo.
C, enjoy your beautiful day. teddybear
If there's no greed life would be so much better for humanity
Scary thought!
Very unsettling Shawn.wave
