Don’t you remember the part in Atlas Shrugged where John Galt invented a payment app and sold it for a crap ton of money and then went to become a government contractor?

Who would you choose?

Who would you choose?

Isabel Patterson.

She was one of the few who lived out her libertarian ideals.

IIRC, every one of her Social Security checks was left unopened.

If anything… Musk is more like Wyatt.

The dude literally knocked a few billion off of the value of his company with a tweet.

He will righteously destroy the company and screw the shareholders.

What did she build?

Fair enough. Who is today’s Gault?

She built Atlas Shrugged.

:sunglasses:

No one.

There is no one sociopathic enough to literally invent free energy that would change the world and then go hide out in sci fi valley because socialism.

We’re talking about two different things. I’m not asking you for a better Rand, I’m asking you for today’s Gault.

I simply answered your question.

See what I mean?

Ok…

What do you mean? You are asking who is today’s John Galt. Your first move is a guy who makes his money because of massive government spending.

That is not John Galt.

There is no John Galt.

He is a myth.

He never existed.

He never will exist because he is a Sociopath inventor and because of that he will never invent anything because the world doesn’t work that way.

Did he start out as a sociopath or did bureaucrats turn him into one?

What Bureaucrats? It was the company that he was working for that wanted to use his engine for the good of humanity.

He took his ball and went to sci fi valley because a company didn’t want to profit off of something that he invented while working for them.

The bureaucrats. You haven’t read it.

The mis-spelling detracts.
